wow.

'twas an awesome soundcheck.

audience was great, except for a few people, of course. :P

it was surprisingly mellow. all the guys were just... chillin out, for the lack of better words. especially during the first song (boy) or two.

just... wow.

i can't remember the setlist in order (sorry, i was too busy staring at steve 95% of the time, :lol:), but it included boy, clumsy (beautifully done. i nearly cried), superman's dead, angels losing sleep, picture, innocent, and like, two others that i can't think of right now, actually.

i got 4 things. (3, actually, but the last one was the very late autogrphed HIPT booklet that we were supposed to get last tuesday).

this crazy ass shirt that i absolutely love, yet is probably a size too small. i photographed the design, 'cuz the rest of it is just plain white:
ImageImage

this giant poster that's pretty much the same ad we've seen over and over, just blown up:
Image

this creepy-yet-cool patch:
Image

and, of course, the autographed album cover, a week late, in horrible lighting:
Image

*holds onto everything*

Joel was really talented at guitar. he was doing a lot of fancy shit. i was nowhere near steve, :( but joels guitar was :drool:

raine sounded fantastic... he did all his falsettos. awesome. and the ending to superman's dead was cool.

i think raine only signed r becuase he had to sign almost 2000 cd's. when i got my setlist signed at best buy, he signed it normally.

I was there too! it was awesome. I was one of the last few people to buy merchandise, because when they were trying to kick everyone out, i stayed near the ATM machine.. and then after i withdrew some money, i just kinda wandered back into the crowd and the security people didnt seem to care.
Oh, and i heard one lady (who was with her daughter and husband(?)) say that she was Coutt's cousin. that was cool too.
