Who's coming?? ME! and my wee Shannon. Will be a more mellow vigil for me this year since my beautiful girl will be with me. But I am looking forward to hanging out with my melony friends again, sitting by Shannon in the grass in awe, taking walks up to the tree, seeing Nel and the family again...just being surrounded by good people who understand... Gabby...can't wait to see you again and hopefully Fer and Panda and Emma and maaaaybe Diego and Lillieness?!?! and it will be awesome to meet the rest of you *aching to get back to Shannon*

Welcome back, kiwi. I don`t know you, but nice to met you Well, my vigil will be by the end of year. I`ll go alone (alone MY GOD ), likely in november. I so wish to get to all of you on present vigil in September, to meet many melons. I read your responses much, I saw so many your photos with vigil, it so is healthy! But unfortunately not so simply to me to leave Russia((. Yes, i think it will on late autumn. I`ll take the camera to photo all that, and something for grave for memory.

awww the first time to Shannons is amazing...I'm sure it always will be so special but I'll never forget the way I felt the first time I stood over him...in actual fact I couldn't even look at the grave for a long time and I stared at the bushes for ages before I could face him Axelbant I understand how hard it is to get to the vigil being in different countries so far away, but it's so worth the trip and you will love the experience even if it's not the actual vigil. There are lots of melons living around Indiana that would probably meet you there so you weren't alone

I don't know what my intial feeling will be upon arriving at the grave though. Part of me thinks I will be thrilled, but then I realize how sad it is we are visiting a grave instead of Shannon. And part of me is angry God took him (or whatever spirit youi believe in) before we were ready to give him back. Part of me can't wait to meet the other melons face to face. So many emotions Counting down to vigil and waiting to feel

I really hope to make the Vigil this year, it would be a special experience, I would love to be able to meet all of the wonderful Melonheds sitting by Shannon singing the Melon's song and lighting lots of candles for him. It would be an awesome dream as well as it's my dream to meet Nel, Vernie and all the Shannon's familiars. Unfortunately I don't live near, and come from another country is not much simple but NOT IMPOSSIBLE, so I'll do my best for make it. Hopefully to meet all of you.

Beegrrrl trust me, if you want it bad enough you can make it happen! Every melon should make the trip at least once in a lifetime, you look at everything so differently afterwards and it certainly changes the way you appreciate Shannon and Blind Melon. Man I can't wait to get back, hope we get a good crowd this year. It will be the first year that I will be there with my boyfriend (we met at Vigil 04 but didn't get together til after) so I am looking forward to sharing the experience with him and my Shannon and of course all my melon friends Some pics from Vigil 04.... First the amazing Mighty Nel Hoon and Me Me wearing SHANNONS NECKLACE!!! Shannon with NZ Flags Hope and us melons (me, Emma, Gabby)

I won`t make it this year either.... If i start saving money now i could make it next year..It`s been at the top of my list for a few years now but when i was in school i definitely didn`t have the money to fly to America but now i`m working so it`s just a matter of willpower. I reallllly want to and i WILL!..Can`t even imagine how amazing it will be there,meet new people,talk about Shannon etc.. I wish i could go this year but...Money talks,you know.....

That's def how I am looking at it. It's not as much money for me since I live in the US, as it is for some melons, but its way more than I can afford so to speak. But I think that it will be worth all the necessary sacrifices for all of us! I have NEVER gotten to meet that many melons in one place and think seeing Shannon will mean more than anything else the money could have bought. Sacrifice is always most rewarding when it truly is a sacrifice.

Since I had my heart set on vigil 05 but had to take care of my Brother instead & now that I won't be working anymore,I think there is a very good chance that I will be there for Vigil 06.I'm sure I'll get a pretty good scoldings from some of you Melons if I don't right?

kiwi,can i get your attention please... Two days ago i was watching Letters From a Porcupine and my girlfriend was surfing around the net and all of a sudden i wanted to show to her what Shannon mom looked like..She thought Nel looked cool but was more impressed of you..She really liked the way you look and said that your style is awesome.. Nice compliment if you ask me so i thought i`d let you know.. My girlfriend is into Nirvana,Alice In Chains,Hole and those kind of bands but she is slowly starting to like Blind Melon...There`s also another friend of mine in Finland that bought Soup just becasue she knew i love Blind Melon,now she got their first album too..So i am responsible for 2 new Blind Melon fans..Well one for sure!..lol.. Allright,shine on people.
