5/1/07 my EDITED REVIEW!
I've started and erased about 10 times by now because of this dialog of memories tearing through my head, I can't seem to get anything coherent down just yet. I'm riding my high from last night!
A resounding Yaaahhoooooooooo is first and foremost, and a huge THANK YOU to Chris and the boys for making it to Tallahassee, and to FLOYDS for being great hosts!
Because I had ample time to properly prepare this go round, I had my Daughtry BabyT and pen on hand this time with absolutely NO expectations other then to rock out with the BAND (which was so freakin' fun to sing along with every word! I’m so glad you encored with MY FAVORITE SONG!)......and my GOD did ya'll exceed all my expectations with your performance, Cinder Road as well...they were simply awesome on stage. I got to appreciate their CD on the long ride home! And how flattering to learn that my participation was duly noted and appreciated, thanks JS for the first siggy on my t shirt, and for noticing how much fun I did have Joey, subsequent to being blinded by your white half moon (from a distance), your siggy did your booty little justice as the real thing was much nicer. JP, thanks for signing my shirt 3x, you are a NUTBALL ( once as "I'm NOT Brian" hahahahahhh!), and Brian (and John the bus driver) thanks for the great conversation with me and my girls, I can't think of a better way to break into POOP talk then to catch the whiff of a bus’s sewer gas....oh my, and Chris, that stinky stink was JP, we saw him exit Cinder's bus ( we know the DL on not making a drop in your own bus....) IT WAS an awful smell....but thanks again for taking the time to complete my TSHIRT with your initials, we were told you had already left for the airport...a surprise well worthy of our wait! It was surreal and amazing to be a part of all that goes on around your tour, you, and the people that make things happen, they're all so genuine and fun!
And this brings me to my last thoughts on the whole experience, which is how much I realize how profoundly exposed you all must feel on that stage, and thankfully how real you keep it when all is said and done. I have to admit, that while enjoying the concert I found it difficult to stare too long at each of ya'll, like I was over-indulging myself...... As if it were stripping you of your privacy. That's crazy. It must feel wonderful to share yourself with world, but at the same time maintain an ounce of normalcy in your life - that takes lots of hard work.
I took so many darn pictures of the concert (with my disposable camera) and had I ever imagined that ya'll would be so accessible afterwards I would have saved some snaps for the close-ups….....Thanks for the memories, the drive THERE AND BACK AGAIN from Tampa, (AGAIN), was truly a pleasure because it began and ended perfectly....I feel completely rejuvenated and ready to be the best wife, mommy, teacher, all that I'm supposed to be in this life!
.I wish you all much success, and of course continued strength and happiness along the ride! Your enthusiasm onstage reflects your love of the job!. Hope to meet up again! ~AmandaHugNKISSY
THERE AND BACK AGAIN....AGAIN!
