But, I didn't take advantage of the perks! I was too TUNNEL VISION on the band to even remember... Doh! Same here..... we had some special bracelets but didn't use them to go anywhere, besides I didn't want to give away my spot in the front row.

Freaking awesome, that warms my heart big time! Blind Melon and the Fans of Blind Melon have an amazing relationship don't they?

I personally don't feel that the big easy was a dive. I have no complaints about the venue. I'd give it at least 3/5 stars. The sound/acoustics were good, and the beer was delicious. Pabst Blue Ribbon and Shipyard Pumpkin Ale = Yumm. The man doing the door (owner/manager?)was a nice old chap named "Uncle Eddie". He said we could come back again to any show, and get in for free. I officially declare Portland to be my favorite city in Maine.
The Holiday Inn was a great place to stay ... great staff. And I'll say the same for Sebago brewing company beside the big easy. Nice staff, good local craft beer, and a delicious burger and fries that got me through the night.

Great reviews, and fantastic photos! Thanks for sharing. And Kevin, thanks for capturing the evening for those of us who couldn't be there.
I tell y'all. . . . my twitch is getting worse. It's kind of like the cowbell skit from SNL. . . "I've got a fever - and the only thing that can cure it - is some Blind Melon!"

U know who they were sayin was getting their shirts, and boobs signed, right? Well, Glen was nose to nose w/ this chic and says....."your scary"....she says.."u mean scary drunk?"... he says..."Scary like, fall flat on your face and split your face open, scary" lol #lmao# Glen is awesome. I bet she felt really sexy after that comment. I can't believe girls were getting their boobs signed. That must be surreal. I know it's rock n roll, but 4/5 of the band are married. I guess Blind Melon's music appeals to everybody, even drunken sluts. Come on ladies, have a little self respect.

yeah, she seemed proud...pullin her shirt down...and it was only when i asked "so..ah u get'n that tattooed next?" that she looked a lil embarrassed. I keep remembering different things from the nite, that puts a grin about me. OMG, i was looking at Matt's pics and i dunno if I've ever smiled that wide in my life. anyway, i just remembered something..... When I first seen the fellas all together(exlcuding Glen), they were all talking 'bout their eats (from which that had just arrived...)... Brad and Rogers went for sandwhiches, and CT and Travis announces (in a New England accent) that they had Chowda...Lobsta, respectively. (Travis announces on stage that he had his first lobster). I asked Travis outside if they had it all shelled for him. he said, "nah, they gave me plyers" #rock# dude did it right, and got down 'n dirty. I have a Theory guys....i think it is a prerequisite to have a masters in BS'n to be a Melon member. Cause no matter who i talked to, they were full of it #lmao# it's hilarious man. I kinda was rough'n on Travis a bit (as u read bout the shirt). Where i'm from it's just called Razz'n the new guy. Also, right after discussing their meals...I asked if He and CT were cold, cause they were wearing Togues. Travis goes " nah, u kidding man. where i'm from in Texas it gets cold. infact, i heard today that it is snowing there, right now" dude is funny a guy. my inlaws were from there, and from what i've heard the snow the get is in the form of golf ball sized hail they guys could have their own weekly late nite show!!! freakin hilarious! I just want to clear one thing up. I was a bit upset about some happenings. I know there are always two sides to everything, and i heard the second side now. I should know better really, i work in construction and Safety always comes first. Let me just say that the BM crew did a great job looking after their own bud, i'll be sure to shake your hand next time...cheers #thumb#

can anyone help me out w/ .mov or .moi files? I'm not sure how to convert 'em to playable files. I think mpeg degrades the quality, does this sound right?. i've backed the uneditted video files Twice..that is on two seperate data discs. it is also on my cpu. I have yet to put the audio onto the cpu. i recorded the show onto two seperate tracks, i need to merge the two onto ONE track (which has to be done in Realtime) before uploading to my cpu. ALSO, i'd then need to split the song tracks...it's a one 120min track right now. I'm not sure if i'll get at it tonite. Lets just say i HOPE to have Something for you guys this weekend i need to, cause work is taking me away AGAIN, during the weekdays. *cross your fingers*

Bogo may know something about the .mov files. If you need help seperating tracks, lemme know.. I seperated the Chicago gig a few days ago.

The thought crossed my mind.... #shuffle# Actually, when we were driving to the show, I was talking about how I didn't bring anything for them to sign! I couldn't believe I had done that. I did actually say something along the lines of...."heck, at least I have my boobs for them to sign". When all else fails, use what ya got! For the record, there is no way I would do that. I was too nervous to even speak!!!! Never mind show my melons to the melons! #hideunderchair# Hopefully there are some pictures for me to hang on to!

well .mov files are playable just not as common. If I had to choose which format to use I'd proably say avi but encoding it to any other format is going to reduce the quality some, it probably wouldn't be noticeable . heres a site which could probably answer all your questions www.videohelp.com/ it has a bunch of tutorials and the forum can be especially helpful. if you have any questions feel free to pm me.
