ROB THOMAS WAS AWESOME!!!!
Jun. 16th, 2009 01:09 pmOMG, the show was the best thing ever!!! It was so amazing, I can't even begin to say.
First of all, I was up at 3:45 AM to get downtown by 5:30. That's when the doors were opening and seats were first come, first served, so might as well get there when I could. Hubby was very nice and drove me in since I hate driving downtown and there weren't any trains running at a good time to get me down there. So, off we went at 4:45.
Got there a little before 5:30 and Rachael was waiting for me. Apparently, a bird had been stalking her bagel. LOL So, we wait for a bit and they let us in. Get checked in and my name checked off the list. :-) Then we got lanyards for the thing. It was in the new Modern Art Wing at the Art Institute. Very cool place. So, they've got rows of chairs set-up in front of the stage and we manage to snag two chairs in the second row off on the side where it looks like Rob will be playing. Yay!! We had awesome seats!
So, the show starts. Now, this may seem weird, but I'm not actually a fan of the radio station that was hosting this anymore. The morning show, especially. LOL I used to be, but they got way too annoying and played the same ten songs all day. Which, well, sucks. So, no more Mix for me. :-P So, they do the typical morning show stuff. I got picked to play one of their games - Trivia Catfight. Each of us got paired up with one of three folks from the morning show staff. The one guy would ask a trivia question and then you had to yell out the name of your person if you thought they knew the answer. My guy COMPLAINED after one of them and got me -6 POINTS! LOL
So, they had another guest and then IT WAS TIME FOR ROB!!! So, he comes out they chat for a bit then he grabs the guitar and starts playing. First up was Lonely No More. Kind of slow and chill. Very cool. A little more chatting then EVER THE SAME!!!

wraith816 HE DID EVER THE SAME!!!! OMG. It was so amazing!! He had Matt Beck as a back-up and he played along. More chatting then 3 AM. Which is just a beautiful song any which way you take it. It was the first song he ever wrote that he liked, so he kept it. He was 17 at the time. Which, just wow. And then it wrapped up with Her Diamonds from his new CD due out June 30th. He'll also be releasing a live concert DVD from the last tour of the show at Red Rocks the same day. Awesome. I'll be picking up both.
They did say no cameras, but I brought my little one anyway, just in case. Glad I did. Cos we were allowed to take pictures, just not while Rob was playing. So, ON TO THE PHOTOS!
( It's ROB!!! )
So, that's that. That was my morning. I am TIRED and it's only 1:45.....
