Thanks for all the advance notice, Al! I booked this one while simultaneously checking into a hotel room. Had to finish typing my credit card info before handing the same card to the guy at the desk.

Anyway, like Joe said, I did much better with this one.
Orchestra Right L 11-12

See you there!

Ugh! I didn't find out the second show was added and on sale already until a few hours ago. No good seats left so I was forced to go VIP. :annoyed:

Forced! :lookaround:

:rolleyes:

I'll be at this one too! Will be in the balcony unfortunately, it isn't the very last row but it will still be great! First time in LA too!
I will have to decide if I can afford the Phoenix and/or Palm Desert shows as well.

If anyone knows of a ticket becoming available (besides what's on StubHub), can you let me know?

This show was great of course, I was in the balcony but in the front row near the exit. Not the super greatest view but still awesome. There was only 4 seats in my row and I was the only one sitting there! It was nice though because I didn't have to get up at all.
After the first few songs, Emo came up to our area and stood on the side near the exit door and watched for only one song but that was pretty cool!! I did see Thomas Lennon in the lobby before the show, he was the first celebrity I saw since I came to LA yesterday :) I'm a midwest gal and get excited to see someone famous.
And best of all I got to meet some of you guys before the show!! :DImage

Fantastic show! Easily my favorite Al concert I've been to. It was great to see everyone at the theater from the forum - I feel like I haven't seen most of you all in ages.

Seats were fantastic! Row 4, on the way right side of the theater. Emo's set was fantastic. I practically have his albums memorized by this point, so I was thrilled to hear some new material. There were two extremely drunk women sitting behind me, who spilled their mixed drinks all over the floor (and my merch bag!) at the end of his set. I also heard them complain that Al didn't play any of his "hits" during the set, guess they didn't pay attention to what this tour was. Speaking of which, I loved not knowing just what Al would play next- these concerts are definitely aimed towards the fans. I had a clear view of the table next to him, so I knew a bit of what was coming.

I've heard Melanie live a few times before, but I'm so glad Al played it - I'd say it's probably my favorite song of his. Can't wait for tonight!
The story about One More Minute being censored on Dick Clark was hilarious. :lol:
