hey everyone!
well, this may end up not bein the best written e-mail ever, cuz i am dead
tired right now, but i wanted to get this out while i was thinking about it.
just got home after dropping my friend Jason off after the Break Room show.
the show was quite cool. the band played well (i honestly can say i don't
think i've ever seen them play badly), and the atmosphere was REALLY great.
the crowd was really loud and into the music. it was hotter than the 7th
level of Hades in there, i'll tell ya that much. the set list was identical
to the Vancouver show, so refer to that. let's see....oh yeah, one cool
thing. there was this overhead light deal that was shining on about the
first five "rows" of people, and Dan kept asking it be turned off, i think
cuz the people up front wanted it off. so midway through "100 million",
someone under the light got on some other guys shoulders and unplugged it,
drawing a large cheer from the crowd which could even be heard over the
music. i found it kind of interesting that it happened during that song,
since one of the lines in the song is "who turned the light out?"
anyways....oh, and one other point of interest. the show was videotaped.
they had one of those signs on the door saying that it was and that by
entering you allow use of your likeness etc. etc. i don't know what the
taping was for, but it was good equipment, so it must have been something
cool.
well, that's about it on that show. it was the end of my four times seeing
SDRE in five days experience. i will be glad to be getting a lot of sleep
today, though i will miss seeing the shows. here are some tidbits about my
adventures....
four places i saw shows: eugene, or; portland, or; vancouver,
b.c.; seattle, wa
total miles driven: 1286 (all by me)
list members i saw at shows: 4 (agnes, jane, shaun, chrystal)
people that were with me that saw SDRE live for the first time: 3
my personal favourite-
SDRE performance: vancouver
opening band performance: Juno-portland show (they played in eugene
too, but i liked the portland performance better)
venue: i can't say; they all had certain cool things about them
quote: "okay, everyone in the back, STOP PUSHING."- a line jokingly said by
Dan at the Eugene show, cuz there were only about 40 people in a big huge
ballroom
so there's a synopsis of sorts of my experiences. if anyone wants to know
more or has any kinds of questions, let me know and i'll get back to you on
it. i'll just end by saying it was an experience i'll never forget, and even
as sick of driving as i am right now, if i could do it again i would. =)
take care and sunny days to everybody everywhere.
john
