**Dreams really do come true! Mine did on 8/23/08!**
Talk about hard work and dedication. I enjoyed reading your post and reminiscing on the band we all love so much. Something to add, in August of 2008 Chris was featured in the Blender magazine while on tour.

that really was! I waited for hours on the cement, on Brian's side of the stage, with my friends. It really was a great Birthday present for me! Drove 2-3 hours with my friends, rode tons of rides, headed back over to the stage, then waited on the cold cement for 3-4 hours. I met really nice people while waiting, who i could tell, i've seen them on DO before that concert. And what an amazing concert. Definitly one to remember. Never, ever, going to forget how much From Where You're Standing touched my heart, even being in the cold. Best Birthday present i could ever ask for, with my family, friends, and friends here now. A NIGHT TO REMEMBER! And 49,000 people too!

This is a great time line! It must have taken you quite a while to do this! Although there are certain dates of shows I went to that aren't there, lol! It is so amazing to see how much they have done and accomplished in one year! Here's to another great year!
Wasn't that the greatest concert?? We stood for hours, met people from all over the world and then the performance was wonderful. We were on the rail right in front of Josh.

Beth you are welcome - if I think of anything else ....... but those are what popped into my mind! I'm sure a lot of others will think of things too........ although maybe not - you have done such a great job!

thanks for the dates!!

...a forum I posted a few months ago. It's three different interviews from Chris from right after the album came out, in March when he was Columbus and then again in August when he was in Columbus. It was just cool to hear the interviews chronologically and see how far Chris and the guys have come...even more so since the last interview in August! I know some of you checked them out, but if you want to again (because they're all pretty funny too, esp the last one!), here's the link:

for them to do in such a short amount of time. And they make rockin' it out so much easier than it actually is. They've accomplished so much this year and inspired us fans in everything they did. Wow, what a year. It's nice to see all of it in one spot. They're been busy and I am sure their journey has been an incredible experience for them. I can't wait til their next tour when I can see them again. Thanks so much for compiling this list.

This is very cool - if other fans have updates they should add replies with the info - we are working on some new site features and a time line is something we have been thinking about...
Great list of accomplishments...I have a feeling 2008 will be even longer
And in February we can add some Grammy wins
