Nope.. rainy weather supposedly in Philly all afternoon but clearing for the weekend which is good. And thanks for the pic, even though I look like the Pilsbury doughboy wandering the parking lot looking to stake my land

haha

did you see this one? This one is great. The caption is perfect.

That was from the 2nd day. It's funny b/c the first day pictures we're all fresh-faced & ready to go. Second day pictures we are all puffy-eyed with big circles. Or maybe I'm just talking about me, haha. But yeah dude, that second day we were a bit slower to "get going."

I have uploaded most of my pics to my photobucket if you want to see the rest. I have some great ones of Fort YIELD. However, since the Cincy CCFA is on the same floating deck as Hooters, I have "up-lifting" hopes for Cincy!

I found that soundcheck on here...I don't know if it's real or not.
I hope it is.
But if it is I guess it doesn't matter anyway.
They aren't playing what they soundcheck.

Lost in the Flood?
I find that unlikely but I won't give up hope.
Bruce will be in Phoenix, AZ on Saturday so it will be a no show show.......show...

i heard oceans and of the girl. the others could be true as well. i want to hear rival!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ive given up hope on RM. :(

Bubba- Who Ben from LA? Why, what was he doing? Only person I can think of that you could say I know that you don't top of my head and I know he had decent seats even though I now forget the section/row. He rocks out during shows normally and is pretty cool.

MC- No, thank you. Always a pleasure. You were more than complimentary, and it was a pleasure chatting with Dave again as well.

I agree about the show, but I am a little skewed/soured from last night specifically anyway. I will get into that in a second.

Ok, Thoughts, Observations, and Rants from 6/1:

- That was the first show that I have heard and not seen, yet physically been present for. I could have stayed in my car and played PJ CD's in the parking lot and seen just as much.

- I will never, ever use my 10C tix again after this Saturday 6/3.

- I have said before that anything past the first few rows on the second floor section would be horrible seats to have and I would never buy them. I was right.

- I always used Ebay/brokers so I would know where my seats were and fearing my 299,xxx 10C. I am that picky about seats as most of us are, but this wasn't about picky. Maybe it is because I am a male and apparently need visual stiumulation/gratification all the time.

- Two other guys walked into my row with 10C seats that were duplicates of mine. I was there first and they didn't give me an unnecessary hassle thankfully. Awesome.

-What is it with guys that not only sing along to the song, which i don't mind, but sing *to* people around them like chicks do? Gay and annoying.

-What is it with the 2 1/2 hour fist pumpers, air grabbers and touchdown signal giving assholes that obstruct your view?

-Why do people have to make noise and stand the whole time after the first set and then talk shit to those who don't? How about a little quiet interlude. They are coming back out ok? You aren't tough or better because you stood the whole show. I have actually heard some people at recent shows talking about how they are going to stand the whole time because it's so die hard of them. Gay again.

- The show didn't start for me until Footsteps. too bad I was already asleep and they lost me by that point. From Footsteps on was the real show.

-Immortality and Indifference together? Don''t have to say anyhting about that.

-Indifference closer= absolutely sick. Biggest surprise I've ever had seeing them close personally. Unheard of.

-Ed referencing the 'Play Leash You Pussies' sign again was just awesome. That was pretty damn cool he brought that up. That ddue that had that sign in '03 is forever immortalized twice in Leash and NYC PJ history.

-The people around me were lame and many, many girls were sitting the whole time. Then again, if I couldn't see and I'm 6', then what was the point of them standing.

- I went up to the sound board area before the show to inquire about possibly getting the setlist for an upcoming CCFA event, and the guy told me gave it away already when I approached and asked him if he had a second to answer a question for me. He must get asked 1,000's of times a night or something or he is a mind reader. Setlist given away before the show?

-Hanging with all of you outside of 121 pre-show for the continuing Philly clique invasion was cool as always.

-I'm noticing way too many people I know at shows now. It's gettin weird. I walk by them and say their names or they do the same to me. It's almost a pretty regular occurence now.

-I have big plans in my head for 6/3 setlist wise.

-I have big plans to see the show somehow this time as well.

-My dad kicks ass for seeing his 7th show with me. He has always listented to music, but he was never the concert going type until I got him into these guys. Now when they go on tour he's asking what showS we're going to. For some reason thought he passed on the 6/3 date. He's been to Camden I '00, Camden II '03, Hershey, Holmdel, VFC Reading, 10/3/05 and last night.

-VW thought I was making stuff up or that I was an orphan or just surprised I brought him I guess. hahahahahahahahahahahahah

-Julie went with curly hair last night to circumvent any humidity/precipitation issues.

I think that this may be my last personal "tour" as I feel I may be becoming somewhat jaded and/or elitest in my review of the band as of late. I feel that every other show is forgettable and some of the songs have just lost their luster with me unfortunately. I'd love to go to a show and get excited for DTE or Even Flow like I used to, but just can't anymore. I don't think I am too critical of them on some things because others have expressed exacting opinions about certain songs, drawn out tags, or jams, etc.

-I'm tired.

Are you people on crack or something??????????? Last night's show was UNFUCKINGBELIEVABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That was by far my absolute favorite so far....the setlist was awesome!!!!!!!!! Alone, Footsteps, Leatherman....friggin Indifference with the lights on instead of YL or RITFW?????? Dudes, you must all be really tired because last night kicked ass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can't wait for SAturday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, and VW....you really think I look like that dude from Train??? I dont think so at all...plus he's got all that hair...LOL

danielle, i had a GREAT time last night. when ed came over to our side and stood on the speaker, that was so awesome, im sure you got a much better view of him than i did.

im really excited for saturday. im not tired at all either
i got home around 3am and just woke up! ill be ready to rock on sat (just as long as i behave myself tonight!!)

Did you guys see Susan Sarandon sitting on the side of the stage at the end of the show???
