Well I think it is fun to stand up and clap and shout for an encore.  It just isn't as spontaneous as it used to be.  Or maybe it was always planned but none of us knew that so it didn't matter.  I especially miss the lighters!!!   

Everything is as cool as can be in a peaceful world.  We all know that John believes in peace and I don't think he is cutting any of the guys down for defending our country.  He has a right to say what he thinks just like all of us do.  It would of been good to say thanks to all of the veterans on such a special day but he isn't perfect either.

Thank you so much for posting this link!  I didn't see Tony's post about it until today. 

I was at Bloomington for the first 2 shows and LOVED this song.  I will be going to the Mnneapolis shows and would love to hear it.  There are other songs on the record that I like as well but this is in the top 2 for me.   

I got all of my packages today!  The shirt is nice and very soft.  I am wearing it now and have the laminate on waiting for the MN shows on Monday and Tuesday.  It has been so long since JM was here.  I am really excited.  Not sure I will be able to focus at work on Monday.  Thanks Tony and everyone that was involved with getting the great packages out!  They are really sweet. 

Anyone have an idea of what the shirts will look like?  I want to buy some tour shirts from fanfire but I don't want to buy one that is too similar to the several that I will be getting from buying premium tickets. 

I am a little disappointed the packages have not been sent out a little sooner so I could wear mine for the Minneapolis shows next week.     I know everyone is doing their best to get them done and sent.  Also, didn't get an e-mail back from fanfire when I inquired about the timing. 

I am sure I just missed this but when do we get the merchandise that comes with the premium ticket package?  Thanks!

I got my tickets for both nights!  Front row.  Any idea where the seats are located and how far the PIT is below the stage?  I am hoping these are great seats.  Going to Wicked in September there so I will check them out and let you all know. 

I decided to go since is opening night in John's town.  Very excited to see him in Bloomington!!!
