There is an Ebay auction for tickets to this that ends right when the show starts, and you have to drive to that guy's house and to the venue, which would take 1/2 hour-one hour. Now who would buy those?

Well there's a Buy It Now option but it's a gouging scalper price. I hope this guy has to "Eat It." HA!

Well, it was a great show tonight..and he actually did a public meet-n'-greet, as well...

I saw Steve right when I got to the venue, so stopped and talked to him for a bit. He said that he loved the theatre tonight, and that he was glad it was inside..and air-conditioned...I went on into the theatre...it was a really nice old theatre..I love Al shows at these places, unfortuantely, there weren't that many this leg...

There were some minor things wrong in Close, But No Cigar..such as music not playin and tracks playin at different times...also, Al said he would back up your hard drive on a floppy..instead, of "you could"...during Pentiums. There were a couple new pet names, but nothing really from the norm. It was just one of the "sucrose artichoke, etc..." lines after the normal extra ones. During Saga Begins, there were a couple new characters I hadn't seen. One kinda looked like it was wearing like maybe a firefighter costume, and some guy that was kinda dressed up in metal armor....sorry, I don't know my Saga, I'm sure that's been obvious by now, though...I'm sure someone else that went to the show will fill those in.

After the show, went outside...while waiting for Al...got to talk to Jim for awhile, got to see Ruben as he played with the crowd like he does...saw Jon walk past me..and then Al came out after awhile. When I got up to him, he said it was nice to see me again. He then asked me what number this show was, and I said 56. I then asked him if he would put 27 x 2 = 56 on my concert ticket, since I didn't get to see him after my 54th show...He then said, he could, but that it didn't make any sense...So, he said he would put 27 x 2 < 56...lol....I told him that I would see him tomorrow night, and he said he'd be there, lol....So, it was fun to finally get to do one of those public meet-n'-greet things again....

Great night...

You can't fool a former valedictorian.

I'm not gonna write a whole big review, since it was almost a flawless show, but this is what I'll cover.

There was nothing was cut out from the show. We had Yankobucks for I'll Sue Ya (if anybody was wondering).

There was only one part during the show in which I thought we would get to hear "Radio, Radio". Al almost nearly missed his cue for "Ode to a Superhero". He had trouble getting his accordion on correctly.

I saw two buses before the show. A red one and a black one. I'm not sure which one was Al's, but I got a picture of both of them just in case.

"The Saga Begins" was pure awesomeness in it's purest form. Darth Vader, Stormtroopers, a Stormtrooper pilot, and Boba Fett.

I managed to achieve my three main goals. (1) Get some Canadian Idiot streamers. (2) Grab a Yankobuck or two. (3) Nab some Albuquerque confetti.

The was a loud boom of some sort at the beginning of "Amish Paradise". I'm not sure what it was. During "Smells Like Nirvana", I began to think that one of the cheerleaders was a last minute replacement since she didn't know the routine well enough.

It was a purely awesome show, and I can't wait until I can see him again on his next tour.

I arrived just in time to see the storm troopers (out of costume) practicing their dance. xD That was quite awesome and I even got some video of it.

Basicly, JEDM and Alinite described it well. It was a great show. And it was even greater that he did a meet and greet at the end. Although, he seemed really tired and there were soooooo many people there...I sort of felt bad cause I'm sure he wanted to get some sleep. :/

I'm pretty sure the black one is Al's.
