OK....I'm not going to read too much of anything in this thread until after my story/review. Tuesday Morning I drive out to meet Ryan at the airport and I was so happy to see him get off that plane! We drove out to Lancaster to meet Sonya, Gabbee, Karen, and Kristen. I must tell you all right now that driving in PA is awful, if they don't fix their signs I will never drive there again. Our exit was not marked properly and we ended up driving an hour out of our way into Harrisburg! Oh that sucked so bad! Ryan and I were chatting up the whole way so the drive went really fast anyway.....but still PA needs to fix their signs! So we get to the Hotel finally and we see Karen first.....then we go to the Hotel Lounge and meet up with everyone else, it was so good to see everyone!!!! Meeting Sonya finally just meant so much to me, I can't even really put in to words how I feel....and finally meeting Kristen was so great! So here we all are in the hotel hanging out like it was old times.....it felt like old times....I guess its like that with us melonheads because obviously this is only my second time hanging out with Karen and Gabbee and my first time hanging out with Ryan, Sonya, and Kristen. So we all head out to the Chameleon and instantly find the BUS! We hang outside for a bit....we spotted Colleen in the back working....and who shows up but CT....and a bit later Travis....and then Glen (who tips us off to where Rogers and Brad are) So anyway it was so great to see all the guys again and it made me so happy to see Ryan meet the band members because it was his first time.....and Sonya hadn't seen them since she was a kid! Of course we are all wearing our "BRAD" shirts so when we meet up with Rogers and Brad it was hysterical! We all wondered what Brad's reaction would be and it was priceless, we did get some pictures so hopefully everyone will post them later, he was also wearing his BRAD shirt so it was perfect! So.....FF to the opening act, I think they were "underwater" or something, I can't remember the name but I didn't like them at all. I think they were not a good fit with Blind Melon fans at all. I think they were EMO. Yup. The singer was wearing girl pants and they were so tight....you think its good to be in the front row until a skinny EMO guy in tight pants is shoving his package in your face and spitting on your heads while he sings words you can't understand because he has to sing like he is crying really hard....probably due to running out of eyeliner. #rant# OK....so now that that is out of my system lets talk about BLIND MELON! Now I thought the show in Pittsburgh could not be topped for me....but this show blew that show out of the water! The sound was so much better and the crowd had so much energy you could feel it humming in the air above you and it was feeding the band and it was this vicious circle of BLIND MELON LOVE passing back and forth between the audience and the Band.......I thought the whole place might implode or something. I shot an amazing video of Drive but the file is too big and I need to figure out what to do with it....the sound is so so, but the video footage is just WOW! My new camera takes a nice shot. Ill figure it out and get it up later. So during change I notice a girl like all up on me....and I hear her boyfriend telling her to get ON the stage.....he was telling her "GET UP THERE, GET UP THERE AND SHOW HIM YOUR TITS" This fucking girl was trying to use me as a step ladder to get on the stage.....being 5'2 I guess I can get confused with a step ladder #dunno# ....anyway she just wouldn't back off so I elbowed her in the boobie a couple times and after that didn't work I turned around and told her to "BACK OFF"......and for a while she did. Unfortunately she was back for TIME and during the part where Travis lowers the mike to the audience she grabs it up and yells, "I LOVE YOUR WEINER".....FUCKING PRICELESS! #lol# I wonder if she feels like an ass right now, even after the guys left the stage for the night her boyfriend hurls her onto the stage so she can show them her tits or talk about their wieners.....don't they know how easy it is to meet the band? All that work they did for nothing....and I'm glad I decided not to turn around and punch her....I think she was drunk anyway and the boyfriend was the one egging it on. OH....we also met msmegs and Kristian! HI GUYS! ;D Ok....Now I have to go to review Falls Church....because I cannot even put into words what happened last night....and I have a lot of writing to do! Word of the day: Maynonaise (inside joke) THIS PICTURE ROCKS

It was so good to meet you too! What a wacky night huh? I hope I never run into those two freaks again! You were right about the club being a dive, but the vibe there was great!

Ive never heard of Rogers falling or tripping, the way he moves is so cool, even with that big guitar cord! I can totally watch him the whole show and be completely entertained!

Great review!! I hope "the wiener girl" doesn't follow them down. That would be annoying! Although it does make me laugh my ass off!

Weiner girl did burn my face[improvement] and the scab fell off today and it started bleeding. who cares, the place was a shit hole but the sound was great and i have to agree with Merideth that it that it blew Pittsburgh away.
Peace!
