I'm not exactly new here but I'm just now getting around to using the boards. I tend to be more of a lurker on things like this but it's time for things to change. I love the Puppies for what their music means to me and for what it does for my sister. She's always in and out of hospitals so music is all she really has and she's connected to the Puppies music in a way that keeps her thinking on the better side of things. She also draws pictures for them and such that I deliver for her and recently they were her first concert she's ever been able to go to. I love the Puppies because they give her hope and their music keeps both of us going. For her I go to as many concerts as I can and take as many photo's as I can. Doing that for her helped me realise that I love concert photography so that's now what I'm trying to get into so I hit as many shows as I can and it's all thanks to the Puppies. I didn't know that when my friend in Australia told me to listen to them that I'd fall so in love with them but when they came over to the states I was ready for them...and now I owe them for helping realise what I want to do with my life. So a HUGE thank you to some very Sick Puppies.

Well, welcome to the boards. Try not to be to much of a lurker. Thats Mark's job.

[AliaSagasthorne]

Yeah mark is the quiet one and I tend to be as well though it's a lot to do with people getting annoyed with my love of music and my ability to 'ramble' about anything and everything music for a long time.

Welcome to the boards. Go ahead and talk. We won't bite

[AliaSagasthorne]

Just thought I'd warn you all first that I talk a lot about music. I listen to a lot of everything so I talk a lot of music and band members and such. Then again I also team for a lot of bands.

[stephb]

There's nothing wrong with that. There are several people that really talk a lot about music besides the Pups. If you haven't checked out the section yet you might want to do so. You might find some discussions you like.

Alia, are you the one with pics from San Antonio? I think we were standing 2 people away from eachother. It looks like you were on the right side of Emma's mic and I was over a couple on the left. That show rocked!!!

Also, have you heard of the dvd Rock Prophecies? The pups have a huge roll in that rockumentary. It focuses on a longtime concert/rock photographer Robert Knight. It is awesome and sounds like it might be inspiring to you in many different ways.

Yeah I'm the one with the San Antonio pics and I wasn't paying much attention to who was nearby. LOL. I was keeping up with my sister's questions and making sure she had a blast at her first concert...same really with my brother and sister-in-law. The Puppies were their first concert just like it was mine. I'm still posting up the photo's I took at Whiskey River on the 1st, and should have them all up by late tomorrow. I've heard about Rock Prophecies and I would love to watch it but alas I never get tv time at the house!
