after B and I had lunch we went back to the venue. Karen came out and gave us WORK PASSES so we can go in. It was just B and I wtching the soundcheck. Jer, Duncan and Joel were jamming when we got ther.e jer on keys, Joel on drums and Duncan on guitar.. then Duncan went on drums and joel on guitar while Jer was still on keys. They were just jaming with each otehre. Then Raine and Steve came out.. They did Carnival and WOAS before leaving the stage. Oh yeah I asked Raine at teh radio station was there any chance I would ever see Blister done live again.>I have been asking for this song since 2001...He said they did do it at one of the soundhcekcs or were thinkingof doing it.
after soundcheck I went to the t-shirts and talked with Karen. She said to us we can say in venue if we didn;t get inanyone's way. YEAH cause it was freezing outside. B and I just sat down on the bench against the wal> We saw the opening band( The Working Title0 do SC..I went to the cart to get somethign. THis guy outside said to me Gail( It was PAUL- ROB's brpother ) He w shocked I remembered his name. I know who he was before he introduced himself. I said I was freezing and needed to get back in. I told him we would save him a spot in fornt on Steve's side for him and his friend.. When they opened doors we met up again in front..
PArt 3 The SHow..
first off this was one of the best performances I have seen of the band .. Before the show Brain, Paul and Jamie( P's frind) allsaid they wanted to hear B-man. SO I said yeah I will jsut write a note to raine and ask. I wrote on this paper. Raine, Please play Blister or Bridman..
.. Then I said i can't toss it ups he probably reconize my writeing. 
.. So Brian wrote the note and tossed it one stag. eIt was funny cause allnight it would get stepped on or kicked around. When they cmae out for encores Raine pikced it up and read it. Lauhged then gave it to jeremy who also laughed. Paula nd brain were like yes they are teading the note. 
now with the show.. BTW I asked what the back drop was cause so many think it is trees in water, while I always thought it was a fores tor somethign. I asked Raine what tteh backdrop was. I said is it a forest or ocean. He said FOREST.. This is what they palyed.
