The concert was AWESOME!!!

Well, the turnout wasn't what we had hoped. I think I heard someone say that the "unofficial" count was around 150 in attendance.

After helping in the kitchen to serve the bands dinner. I was asked to help run a merchandise table for one of the bands. I hesitated 'cause that's just too much pressure, but they told me that someone would be there to help also. I ended up running the Nevertheless merchandise table. The lead singer Josh (the guy with the red hair) gave us a quick rundown on how to operate the portable credit card processor and what the price was for the various items. I can't tell you how many times they all thanked me for helping out. Very polite, nice young men. I had them sign the back of one of their t-shirts (I'm wearing in the photo below) for the boys. I have a little picture...but I'm almost hesitant to even post it. After posing with all those skinny little guys I feel F-A-T! Ohhhh, alright, I'll post it anyway. Besides, weight is just a number right??

AJ, Adam, Brad, Me, Josh, & Adam

Because I was 0ut in the vestibule area taking care of a few charge cards while they were playing, I didn't get a chance to hear them play their song, "The Real".

But from what I heard outside the doors....they ROCK!!!

And then came Storyside B! These guys are awesome as well! I got a bunch of pics of them playing. I was able to sneak away to hear them play one of my favorite songs. It was so neat to just be there listening and singing along with them live. Two of the four band members were wearing "Nevertheless" t-shirts while they played. I thought that was pretty cool!

I was able to be there for the song "Everything and More" and snapped these pictures.

After the group pic with Nevertheless, I was afraid to get a group picture with StorySide B, although I did have the opportunity. But I did have them sign a poster for my boys. Ron McClelland (pictured above playing guitar) signed to my boys Kyle & Joshua. I love what he wrote. I told him that the boys were tired and had to go home. I so wish I had kept Kyle with me to get pictures of him with the bands. He really did like the signed posters that I got for him.

I have a pink hoodie from Storyside B and this black/pink angel t-shirt. They all signed the back of my hoodie under the hood and across my shoulder. So has anyone seen Meredith Fenwick's newsletter freebie and DST's template challenge for April??? I think I have some pretty good material here for some neat layouts.
