I can't even put into words how incredible the show was! It was everything I imagined and more! I was with a group of 4 others and we got there at 8 AM and met up with the only other couple, Kat and Dan! (Great time with you guys!!!) Thank God the doors were open because the weather was not cooperating. If only the weather was like this past Monday when it was 80 degrees in the area. We waited so long but it was worth the wait! The Annex crew was very nice and helpful- the only thing that bothered me is there should have been one line for will call and hard tickets because as someone else mentioned in another review here, the majority of people did not come to The Annex until late afternoon (I was surprised there wasn't a longer line earlier) Some of the late arrivers had hard tickets and got to go right up to the front of the "hard ticket" line but then there's others who were there since early AM - even early afternoon before the big crowds hit......that wasn't fair for those who came early and sat and waited all day long. Not to sound like a little school kid "it's not fair"...but I did hear that other venues had only ONE line, which would have made more sense. Anyhow....We spotted JP and Brian over in the coffee house earlier in the day, so we got to meet them there. Very nice guys! Shortly after that, the other guys came one by one, except for Josh Steely-he was the last to arrive. Chris came out into the bar area and walked right past our table and I just completely froze up! We waited a few minutes before we got the courage to approach him. Although I didn't want to 'bug' him....I had to take that opportunity to ask for a picture. That is something I wanted so bad. He was nice enough to take the time to pose for a picture with me indiviually and my 3 friends. Also signed a picture to my daughter! It was the best moment! After waiting a few more hours which seemed like FOREVER we lined up and got into the show! Cinder Road and Eve to Adam were great! Daughtry came on and what a performance they put on! It was just all so surreal! We were in the front row and got his guitar pick! Touched his hand a few times! He sure plays the crowd and the crowd loves it! I hope I get the opportunity to see them again. Thanks to everyone in the band for a wonderful, unforgettable time! We have awesome pictures so we'll post them on here to share!
