    Well Boardies!I just got back from the Chicago show and they did it again!!Shinedown TOTALLY ROCKED THE HOUSE!!!!They should have been the headliner, but oh well!As ususal, Eric was his sexy enigmatic self (and my fave, incase no one has noticed that yet!!)Brett shared himself,his heart and his wisdome with the crowd. Little Zack was as cute as a Hobbit and we even got to see him shirtless ladies!!Barry kept it all together like a Papa with a beat! Utterly Amazing! :D :D

Oh you got some good songs in there :) Cyanide was my favourite off the album when it first came out so it's always good to hear that one :) Whihc one was your favourite at the show?

Naturally, all were great! Save me was really good, lately I've been listening to the older stuff alot. Cycnide was good, and Call Me was neat, just *Eric* and Brett on stage kinda "unplugged". :)

I THINK it was the Chicago show, but Eric tweeted that the lights in his eyes threw him off, and he "epicly" messed up the intro to Heroes! Did anyone notice?

He77 no! We were too mesmerized! LOL!

I can't follow twitter!! Lol...it's too confusing to me! :( Aw Call Me would be cool to hear acoustic...i know it is kinda..but well you get me! Lol

Now that the dust has settled and the fog has cleared my head, I have to saw that Fly From the Inside was my favorite. It's one of my fav songs anyway, but live it was so dynamic!! I can't get it out of my head. :)

I have a twitter now but i soooooo can't work it! Lol

The show was awesome...I sat balcony, front row so I could get a great view of everything. Fly was def my favorite as well as Cyanide when they did the bet that they couldn't get the place jumpin...even the balcony was goin crazy. Def one of my favorite live bands....Call Me was so good and calming, just watching Brent and Eric rock it out.

I was at the rail with the skinheads! MoshPit Mama! That's me!! :twisted:

Mon, 08/31/2009 - 15:52

not 2 shabby. SD was of course MUCH better. Staind kicked ass 2.

Hi Mollie!! Was that your Tummy?? You better eat something... :)

LOL...it was!!!

Chevelle was great, for the few songs I saw. i was waiting for halestorm but didnt see 'em...I went to the wrong merch booth. I liked what I hear and Mad_Mama had the best description, a poor man's tool.

Hey, Lorilee
The M&G was EPIC! Def. one of the fondest memories of SD to date for me :) It started with cutie pie Jake ushering us in then bringing in the band. I was STOKED and made that audibly obvious :) Noone else really did & I prolly embarrassed myself, but WHO CARED! I thought it was acutally insulting to the band that noone else did, WHATEVA!
To be able to chit chat, take pix w/ & get autos of the best, coolest band today, it was worth every penny & I will do it again in a heart beat. I will post pix tomorrow or TH (can't believe I haven't yet) of our experience.
I'm even entertaining the thought of doing the VH1's Best Cruise Ever, just for the chance to zone out to them live for DAYS on end instead of hrs LOL

Thank you Dear...I'm right aren't I?? There is no way in He77 that *Eric* stinks!!! :lol:

lol nicely put lorilee.

Merk, I beg your pardon...but I am quite the lady! and Destiny I am very hygenic as well, sweat doesn't necessarily have to be dirty...It only smell's when bacteria are present! I am sure the sweat I am referring to contains none of that!!! :twisted:

No no...i just like my hygiene :) haha....sweat ok i could deal....but mould!?

[quote="destiny453"]Eugh stuff like that grosses me out! :([/quote]Everything grosses you out Destiny!! Sweat, Mold...all the good stuff!! :lol:

Isn't it the truth!! They have cell phones, want to go places alone, do all these "grown up" things but can't make a PB&J!!! LOL!! :lol:

I know!! To think that she would bother me for something like THAT!!! Ha! Kids these days...so spoiled! :wink:

I certainly hope everyone know's I'm kiddin"!! :lol:

Oh that is shocking that your daughter needs that basic survival thing that is FOOD! :lol: :lol:

Life does get in the way doesn't it? To think...sometimes my daughter actually interrupts me to get FOOD for her! The nerve..... :shock:

Of course I'm kidding! :lol:

Yes I know, less frequent psoting makes Leona an unhappy girl!! :( Life.....

thanks. i love having me time. but time with the mrs.' is always great.

well said tony :)

that's awesome. "ME" time is always good. it's a great way to recharge yourself and get ready for life and all it's twists and turns, ups and downs, and even in the in betweens.

Looking back on that experience, it was so worth it. Not only was meeting the guys and seeing them headline amazing, but going on an adventure that was all my own was really a great experience too. I will always remember it and how special it was. Total "ME" time!! :D

Nope not crazy my love, just a TRUE TRUE fan :) :)

no way, not crazy, just a TRUE FAN!
