ok....where to begin. Last night was sooo amazing. They came out and rocked with 2x4 and i just could not believe i was actually there...on the very front row....right in front of rogers and travis. if you read the new orleans thread, its the same set list except they played drive instead of sleepy house. i guess my favorite was time. it was pretty intense and travis really got into it. Another one of my favorites was last laugh. During change i was singing along and looked at christopher and he was playing the mandolin and i just closed my eyes and had a surreal moment. somehow i went back to 1993 when i saw shannon and kinda gotta a little teary eyed, but it was great,a real emotional deal!! the no rain jam was also great. i couldnt quit smiling the whole night. I loved it. i bet brad's face hurts every morning after a show....he smiled non stop. i took pictures and in everyone he has the biggest smile, you can just tell hes so into it. They all are. They were also so friendly and patient with all the fans. After rockin so hard, i know they had to be exhausted but they were still hangin out after i left at 12:30. They were so cool about taking pictures and talking i know they love what they do but they could be like other bands and just play and leave, but they really put in the effort to get to know their fans....thats one reason we love them! they have to be the friendliest and kindest band out there. Glen and Christopher were really cool ....they took time to sign an old ticket stub from 93 and look at one of my old pictures of shannon. that really meant alot. Rogers and Brad did too. I got a great picture with Brad. I forgot all about the grab ass picture...i sooo could have gotten a good one. My flash didnt work on my camera in my picture with Glen and Christopher.....that really pissed me off but oh well. I also got alot of pictures of Travis and the rest of the band while they were playing. I got one of those disposable cameras....dont have a clue about digital anything but i did get brave enough to get the pictures on disc and im gonna try to figure out how to download or upload or whatever you do. if i manage to pull that off it will be one of my greatest accomplishments yet!! ill try. if anyone wants to be kind enough to pm me and tell me in very simple terms how to do this id very much appreciate it. I just wanted to give yall a little bit of info about my night with the most awsomest,greatest, coolest and sweetest band ever. ill be high for a long time after that. Thank you Blind Melon!!!!

yeah.... i cant believe i forgot to mention that. im not sure if travis knew they were gonna play that one or not. he looked a little surprised. it wasnt on the set list. brad helped him out on the lyrics a little i think. brad said he had to play it cause it reminded him of mississippi... i think he and rogers wrote that one either early with blind melon or before... i think. Having a little technical difficulty with the pictures. got them on photobucket but got lost from there. i did email them to meredith. i asked her to help post them. maybe shell help me out!! im such a loser!! you kids and your technology these days!!

this is a little bit old but my computers been dead and I still feel the need to share my melon experience.
Got there at like 4:00 and just hung out. got to hear and see the sound check from where I was standing. Me and my buddy went around to the side of the building to ummm, alter out perception. About that time Brad and Chris come riding by on their bikes. They were on their way to get some grub. Brad stopped and chatted a while and told us all about the secret November thing.
The show itself was great. I was on the front in between Travis and Rogers. I danced and rocked out all night. Holy Man caught me completely off guard causing me to rock out even harder. It was a Melon show. You guys know how the story goes.
2 days later I was at Southaven. 2 nights of Melon in one week. Life is good.
