I'm really going to need this concert too! This has been my week to get every ticked-off, stupid, argumentative customer that Dish has and usually just before I'm supposed to get off work! My last call tonight--customer couldn't speak English well, had unhooked his receiver while renovating a room, and argued a good ten minutes with me when I told him he'd hooked it back up wrong! I was supposed to get off at 11:30pm, left at 12:05am. Oh well, just means more money in my pocket for the Columbus show!

Hey, heres a pretty important question. When you get to the concert, where do you go to recieve your promised aftershow passes??

It depends on the venue, but you can usually pick it up at the theater's WillCall.

Yeah hah. I don't know what that is. Whatever. Thanks BS.

Every theater has a WillCall, where you can pick up tickets and backstage passes, amongst other things.

I'll be leaving for Richmond in about an hour so I'll see you guys there! This is going to be a great show! My mom is meeting me there and she insisted I stay with her at my aunt's tonight rather than driving back home so I won't be able to post a review until tomorrow afternoon sometime.

The show was a BLAST! High energy throughout ... excellent additions to encore song ... had a BLAST. Took my sister and her son, who had never seen Al before, and they were more than impressed. We were in the second row from the stage, and Al sang a couple lines of WBUL to my sister, and she about busted a gut. It was all standing (except for up in the balcony), so my old body is a little sore ... but it was worth it.

Ambra, I thought I found you (I thought you were standing right in front of me) ... but I asked the person, and she said she wasn't you ... I wanted to thank you in person for the ticket you mailed me. Consider this your thanks (wish I could have found you, though!) ... my nephew also thanks you!

Al's AWESOME!

Hey, Ak! So glad you had a good time, and that Al sang to your sister. I take it you decided not to wait around after?
