the tickets are huge, they don't even look like tickets, and they are the color of crap.

Well I'm all checked in to my room. We left Duluth, MN around 8:30-9:00 last night, and just pulled in at 11 this morning. We were originally going to just drive half way, but once we got to the Marquette area in upper Michigan, we decided that we were awake enough to just keep going....heh...not anymore. haha. Time to get a couple hours of sleep in before the show.

Jeremy, hopefully you get a chance to read this...I'm planning on showing up at the showboat around 2:30-3, so hopefully we'll see ya around.

See ya all later tonight! Those who will be there.

Just got back, show was awesome of coarse. Louder than normal, so the speakers sounded a bit distorted on louder songs. A couple mishaps, mainly the video starting to early for Bob, and a line flub at the begining of Yoda. But other than that, no mistakes.

We had a meet & greet with Steve tonight as well. Always nice talking with him.

Glad you had a good time, and that you got to talk to Steve. I like him.

Well, it's after midnight, so....I get to see Al tonight!!!

How full was the venue? I saw a news item on Google that said it hadn't sold as well as the promoters were hoping.

I'm hoping they had a last-minute rush of impulse ticket buyers.
