My friend flew in Saturday morning, and we went out to lunch with a few other friends. We were talking about tickets, and Wayne (my seat buddy), mentioned that we would be between where I had sat the night before (about 15th row) and the soundboard (halfway back the lower section, behind 15th row). As we all know, you can't sit close every time. He gave me my ticket and the day went on.
We met some friends at Heart Bar in Planet Hollywood about an hour and a half before the show. Right before we were about to go into the venue, Wayne said, "Wait- let me see your ticket." So I gave it to him. Our friend Joe said, "Oh, you don't want this one. HERE is your ticket." I looked at it, and realized that we were sitting in the 3rd row. To say I was happy is an understatement. I almost cried. It was almost worth losing all of my money at the card tables. All of it.
Dave and Tim walked onstage, and sat down to play. So Damn Lucky started, the lights hit the audience, and I was a happy, happy girl for the next 3 hours. When The World Ends was awesome....Spoon made me tear up. The riff makes me feel feelings. I have a sweet little soft for Squirm, and I heard some Write A Song in there. Double bonus points for the night. I've never heard Say Goodbye sound as good as that night. It was evident that Dave was into it. He makes such wonderful sounds. Every single song was amazing. Bartender was gorgeous. I wish I was more eloquent right now, so you would REALLY know what I'm feeling about it all.
Anyway, here are some pictures of the show and a video.
I read!
