This was to date the BEST sick puppies show I've ever been to. The band was on fire, doing new things, throwing curveballs so you couldnt anticipate the next song, and shim spent a ton of time on crowd interaction, which kept the already INSANE crowd getting crazier every song. I've never had to duck so much for that many crowd surfers ( and luckily the security guards were absolute beasts so I didn't get landed on this time)!!


funny story from a fan i talked to :: in his city the city council was trying to tear down a historic barn, and they had a council meeting on the matter. the guy told me that one of the leaders said "the barn is going down" and so the guy walked up with a radio, blasted You're Going Down, and won the meeting to save the barn

Could NOT agree more! It was sooooo amazing! I had a spot right up front on the fence and in the perfect spot for Shim-viewing. Hehe, then when I got up to the table, I didn't even say anything...he just got up and gave me a hug. lol! That was like THEE most amazing night EVER!! I had no voice whatsoever the day after and am just now getting it back. I swear I'm still on a concert high from it! Thanks for posting the set list!

[Jessamy]

i think you were like two people away from me if i recall. were you to shim's left or right?

[Cora]

Hehe, already answered you on Facebook, but so it doesn't look like I'm just leavin' you hanging - I was on his right! And probably! That's so awesome!
