You're all wondering about Minnesota on Saturday, I know. Great, I tell you. Just great. We got there two hours before the place opened, and Hazel was on stage warming up. When I heard them first when we were driving in, they were playing Bring it on Home, and I honestly didn't think it was them... it sounded like it could be, but why would they be on, etc. Then they started playing Rocketman. Enough said. We got a really close parking spot, and while the security guy wouldn't let me in, I stood there listening to them finish up. A few minutes later they came off the stage. Drew, then Ryan, then Mark, then Jeff. Ken came out at the very end and just ran for the van; I missed him. Talked to Jeff though!! :-) Yes he was there! Forgot to ask him where he got married- that had me mad back at the motel that night... I forgot a ton of stuff I had to ask them. The show itself was GREAT. They played: * Change Your Mind * Just Remember * Life Got In the Way * Strange Cup of Tea * Concede * Champagne High * Come Around * Superman * Beautiful Thing * Your Winter * Thank You * Happy * Out There (acoustic) * All For You * Every Little Thing
Out There wasn't played- they did Running Through the Feilds instead. Wow. Incredible. There's no way you can hear that song live and not be affected by it. Ken really liked the sign I made- I wrote some stuff on a pillow case.
It was a great show. Afterwards, we found them, but there were masses of people around them, so we waited and eventually talked to Ken through a chain link fence. After that, we went back to the car, and saw them get into the van to go back to the hotel. I couldn't help it... I ran over and talked to Ken for a bit and got a hug :-)
Other highlights include converting the people standing next to us (they were there for Gin Blossoms, who were on at the same time but on a differet stage) into Hazelnuts (you should've seen them!!), Jeff in general, hearing Superman, Ken screaming REEEALLY high pitched during that song, throwing pink beach balls through the crowd, being front and center as usual, getting two setlists, getting stuff from the sponsors, etc, etc, etc...
And I get to see them again in Kentucky on the 26th!!
