    Security at the Gorge was certainly part of the problem before the show. We arrived at the Gorge around 6:00 after dropping our stuff off at our campsite. The lineup was already quite long at that point and most people weren't even aware what the 10c lineup was for. There were people lining up in the wrong lineup and cutting ahead in the line. The line barely moved for at least an hour until someone from the Gorge security staff finally came around and tried to get the lines organized. At this point the line started to move quickly. Once we had our tickets, we had to wait another 20 minutes in line to get into the venue. We could hear World Wide Suicide being played while we waited in the security line and didn't get to our seats until the end of Small Town. Had security been present from the start to organize the lines I don't think there wouldn't have been as much of a problem with the distribution of 10c tickets.

    I think it's a joke that the Gorge staff didn't anticipate a large crowd and build up of fans towards the start! I woud have been fucking pissed and annoyed if I missed even 1 song let alone right through till Small Town. Ridiculous. Great venue but being that great and beautiful it must be hard to organise that amount of people for such an obscure concert sight. I saw the build up of traffic coming in to the show while I was in line about 5 man fuck that. Santa Barbara was a little different to this experience.. I got the best of both worlds a small intimate PJ show (including a slower set) and a large massive show.
    I'm just flying around the other side of the world to say I love you

    Sha la la la i'm in love with a jersey girl

    I love you forever and forever :)
