;D 
omg I had a great time at the show last night, I was determined to meet the guys because I missed them at the metro after flying there from CA.
anyway I did what rockbeast did we were back about
to the middle and no one else was dancing so I told my niece lets go find empty seats up front where inxs fans have not come yet, and we did we got 2nd row in front for most of the lovehammers set, got kicked out about last three songs when the inxs fans came to claim their seats it was so cool being that close to them rocking out and dancing with about maybe 30 other lovehammer fans, some who did the same as us, really recommend this to get up close for lovehammers, anyway I missed the whole inxs set because I went to the lobby to see if I could see the guys, sure enough after the 2nd inxs song there was Marty walking through the lobby a few of us lovehammer fans grabbed him and got pictures, signed shirts, hugs, I even saw one lady kiss him on the mouth, I was jealous about that but I did get a long hug while taking a picture, and talked to him for a while told him about my kids now like to listen to him on the way to school, he liked that, he was so nice to the kids there, I wanted to give him a gift and I did not know or have time to get something meaningful, so I gave him a business card with a free puppy for a Casey family member so he could give a family member a gift worth $700. or $800. of a pure bred Shihtzu puppy which I breed and even plugged him on my nursery page under the puppy I named Marty. check it out. www.pawsitivelyshihtzu.com I hope he uses it and someone gets the free puppy they are great dogs. anyway we got pictures and lots of hugs from all the guys, I don't know how to put them on here so I emailed them to Cindy she will do it soon. after the concert we went outside and got more pictures of them and others around them, they all were very sweet and talked to us about everything, bobby said we are just regular guys that went to college! Dino gave the best hugs and lots of them, he is so hot in person, I think I love him as much as Marty now, he said to me was I suppose to buy you a beer, I said no it must have been someone else, darn! it was cute! Billy was great also and gave me 4 guitar picks with his name on them and the lovehammers name, he is way more cute in person and very sweet and shy. we were the last ones at their bus talking to them and Bobby and he was very nice to talk with, we asked him if Marty really wanted to lead sing for inxs and he made a face and said we were just like what do we have to do! so I think he was saying No it was just for exposure for lovehammers. Then we saw JD over at his bus and Bobby said you better go over there its your only chance, and he wanted to go back in his bus, I saw Marty sitting in his bus smoking, it was kind of funny. My niece got the last picture with JD and he said this is the last one, so I said then I get a hug, and he gave me a big long hug and a Kiss on my cheek and I did not even watch his set, why could I not get the kiss from Marty? So many JD fans would be so jealous of me right now, I was laughing about that all the way home. this is too long so I better go now, if I think of something else I will write later, bye all for now, it was the best experience I have had in a long time!

Hi again, I forgot something funny Marty said, we told him the security would not let us dance upfront in front of the stage, you had to be at your seat, so that was a drag, He said to us, "What is this, Footloose? You can't dance in San Francisco?" and then his buddy said, "We're in Oakland" and Marty was like, "So you can't dance in Oakland?" he is very funny and sweet! you can sneak your camera in your purse but if you take a picture during the concert and get caught they will take your camera away and I don't know if you can have it back, but in the lobby if your careful you can take a picture but I had to check it after they saw me using it to get back in to see the last two inxs songs, so I did. got it back when inxs ended with a tag to claim it.

, and the other band members are very good looking too (more on that later). Billy did a great job singing on parts where there is backup, so much better than I had thought he might be. Marty thanked INXS for giving them the opportunity to go on the road with them and to get the crowd ready for "their phenomenal show" (very gracious!). Later in the set he said they are LOVEHAMMERS, not Marty Casey and the Lovehammers. He really seemed to want to get this across to the crowd. A bit later he told the crowd they were excited about their CD coming out at midnight that night. At one point he went halfway down the middle isle and stood on one of the seats and sang for a bit. I wished I was on that side! All the band is fun to watch, but as I have seen others write it's hard to take your eyes off of Marty. Marty told the crowd he wasn't beyond going out in the crowd and lifting people out of their seats. I wish he had! I'm 42, but by no means am I a party poop like some of the audience was. The last big concert I saw was Prince and everyone was dancing their butts off.
) Made me feel bad for the guys that they had to look out at all these bumps on logs but from what desinsantarosa said, it sounds like Marty has the right attitude about it. 
And the lucky Hammerheads that managed to get past the rule-nazi ushers and to the front totally rocked it out for them.
