Hi guys!! I finally made it home. I made it back to atlanta just in time to get to work. I had the best time in Nashville and i am so glad that i decided to go. Thank you so much to the Joe 90 guys...you are the BEST!! Ready for another lengthy review?? Here goes I got into Nashville about 2pm and i was able to find the club pretty quickly. I found a hotel and toured around the city for a few hours. I showed up at the club around 7:45. I didnt want to show up too early but I didnt have anything else to do. I noticed that the Joe 90 van was already there, so I went on in. The club was called Third & Lindsley and I thought it was a pretty cool place. The guy at the door told me where to find the guys. Actually, he told me to go on into some back room that they might be hanging out in. I didnt feel right about that and I was glad to see Craig and Adam sitting out by the pool table. They called me over and we talked for a little bit. These guys are great!! They treat me like we have been friends forever. Thats so cool!! So, the opening band goes on. I was trying to remember that the name of the band, but I dont remember. I thought that the guy was pretty good. You want to know why the Joe 90 guys rule???? They all like my purse!! I have this clear plastic lunchbox type purse that I got a few years ago in LA. I LOVE this bag, it has so many memories attached to it. It broke a few years ago and I put a counting crows sticker on it and recently I put the Joe 90 sticker on itmaybe thats why they liked it!  It seemed like they had a lot of friend in the audience. I know that Adams brother was there. Finally it was time for the guys to go on. Did I mention that the show was being broadcast on the radio station? I wish that I had thought ahead and recorded the show. The show was amazing!! I love seeing this band livethey are the best!! I brought my camera and ended up getting a lot of great pictures!! I got a setlist this time.thanks to Chris for that!! Later in the evening he handed me a napkin with the songs written on it. 1. Blurred 2. Ferris Wheel ( I loved that!) 3. Super Hero (another favorite of mine) 4. Arrive (that must be one of the new ones that I still dont know) 5. Everybody (LOVED IT!!) 6. When I die (VERY COOL) 7. Truth (this song is amazing! Remember how Ally McBeal had a theme song? I think this song might be mineIt means a lot to me) 8. Drive (I love to sing out loud to this one) 9. The Do it in the road song..what is the name of it? The napkin says Roadis that it? I like that one too!! 10. REACHINlet me not forget this one (Hi Craig!!) I think you should play it all the time!! I think its awesome! 11. Ok, the napkin says that they played Just a Dreambut I dont think they didam I wrong? I might be. Thanks ChrisI never would have remembered all of that After the show I sat there for a few minutes trying to decide if I should stick around or not. Thats when Danica came over. Thanks Erin for telling her to come out to the show. She is wonderfulit seems like we talked forever. She sat down with me and told me how Erin said that she HAD to talk to Craig. We called him over and she told him how she ended up therehe was so sweet and went to grab a chair to sit with us. This was fun! We talked about how they got started as a band, about his accenta bunch of fun stuff!! About this time someone asked me if I was going to the Memphis show. I was SO tempted to go when I heard that it was only a few hours away. Then I realized that I had to work and we tried to come up with a good excuse to give my boss. I thought it was funny. I think we decided that we were going to tell her that Craig forgot his hairbrush and I had to rush it out to him otherwise the show wouldnt be able to go onI wonder if she would have bought it!! Of course I think I made the wrong decision in coming home. I think memphis would have been more fun! A friend of mine is a little concerned that I might be stalking the bandI thought that was funny! So, we hung out for a little while. I remember Chris introduced me to a friend of his. She was very nice. He was telling her that I went out to the hilton head show. We talked about how it was basically the band playing for meThat was a great show though.. he agreed. So I debated for a little bit if I would actually head out to memphisAs I was leaving Gary yelled that he would see me tomorrow!! He knows how my mind works! Thank you, Thank You, Thank you to the guys!! I had so much fun! After the show I went out to dennys with my new friend Danica. We ended up talking until 2 or 3 in the morningShe is great! Thanks again Erin for making her come to the show!! Is it possible that I am already going through Joe 90 withdrawls? I guess thats itI will let you know if I forgot anything. I will send my pictures over to Aimee Thanks again guys!! erica

>>About this time someone asked me if I was going to the Memphis show. I was SO tempted to go when I heard that it was only a few hours away.<<

this made me laugh so hard. it's like some kind of sick phenomenon. "i know i haven't slept in 79 hours and i've driven 1230809808 miles already...but can i make it to one more show?"

welcome to the dark side, erica!

ex oh...aimee.*

yay erica! that was such a great review to come read at 9am in the morning :)

made me happy*

contrary to popular belief, the *dark side* isnt actually dark. its quite nice over here. all bright and happy-like.

the best thing about this board, and about Joe90 is the friends we make along the way. all these trips, all these shows....it wouldn't mean anything if we didn't make AWESOME friends along the way :)

(im going to visit jenn tomorrow! eek! yay! i hope i feel better, tho :P)

i thought i lost my aluminum CD. but i just found it. thats my joe90 content.

hey erica - are ya going to memphis or not?! call out sick or something! who needs work and/or money? this is joe90 we're talkin about ;)

I am loving the DARK SIDE!! :) I didnt go to memphis...i should have...that would have been fun!! erica

-- erica (comettailz@aol.com), March 14, 2000.

erica you give the BEST reviews. and reading it was a great way to start the day off. you definitely should have gone to memphis. you need to start working on a good fake cough. or migranes are always good. very hard to disprove. ............................. jill i am shocked and appalled!!! don't you know your joe90 tour dates?! memphis was monday night. and you call yourself a fan. .......................... i didn't even notice how funny the "it's only a few hours" thing was until aimee pointed it out. it seemed a perfectly reasonable way to think about it to me. but then i've been on the dark side a long, long time. like jill says, though - it's a very bright and happy place. "go towards the light. go towards the light. awaken and be glad." (unless, of course, those aren't actually the lyrics. in which case just nevermind. ).................................... did i mention i got my hair cut and highlighted over the weekend. i'm looking very adam hamilton-esque these days. ..................................
