Thanks to all for sharing your great pics and stories, I haven't had the opportunity to read the stories but I know they are great! Thanks again for sharing! You all are wonderful!

We drove to Sacramento last minute (with tickets in my anxious little hands) and ended up MISSING the show. Traffic was hell, we got lost, and bleeping missed the whole thing. I'm pretty devastated to say the least.

I'm glad you guys had such a great time, though. I looove all the pictures.

Hi again, just wanted to tell everyone, the DJ at the zone radio station today said that Marty Casey was her favorite of all the bands, isn't that great that she said that on her radio show! Also they had parents call in and complain about INXS's singer JD using the F word and dancing in a sexual way at this show, because of the kids that were there, this was a family event, so parents were mad and the DJ said they call JD potty mouth now! that is so funny he screwed up here!

[Shihgirl]

chanvre, so sorry to hear that, driving here can be hard and take a long time if you don't time it right in the LA area, I hope you see them soon some where else!

[pines]

sorry to hear about that chanvre, that's a real bummer!

anyway, love you all for generously sharing the littlest detail! the DJ's comment is really something, should earn some points with listeners...

and the pictures are G-R-E-A-T!

was there anyone though who managed to do the impossible and got to observe the crowd while MCLH is performing? what was their reaction? and how did the band sound?

[chitowngirl]

all the stories! Thanks so much for sharing!!

It worked this time . Apparently I tried to play it as soon as you put it up (or the few whacks I gave with the sledgehammer)
Thanks again Cindy ;D.

~ a night in The Dive (completely disgusting) ~

Like Kimberly87 already mentioned, the place we were all to meet at suddenly was changed to a complete dive bar; in which everyone believes I picked out. Never even stop in Sac, and live over two hours away. Really, it looked like a nice club in Vegas on their site. More like a run down Senior Frogs in Mexico, minus the panties above on the ceiling. Although; I didn't make it to the after show "dive" party with Dino (kidding) But, thank you for the call AngelShadow. Appreciate it! It was all good! A perfect hang out for Lovehammers - a great place to hide out. You can imagine how pleased I was, when I noticed the handwritten signs on the tables: "Reserved for LASnow", so I kept one (he, he). Everyone was great to meet... then it was time for a drink; Keshet was getting up, since I'm not a huge fan of boxed wine.. I safely ordered a bottled beer. Kes is great! Poor thing showed up there first (guess it was a good thing those signs were on the tables ;-) Yikes! It was wonderful to see Nina99 go against her grain, and toss peanuts on the floor.. Yes, it was that kind of place. And, still thanking me for letting her give Marty a small gift. You are very welcome! Everybody was wonderful to me, and I thank you all for that! Especially; when I realized I had left my credit card at Kinko's earlier in the SF Bay area, and still needed to check-in to my hotel room. AngelShadow & the "infamous Rockbeast" were completely sweet to me. Thanks you guys! And, the hotel accepted a check - ahhh!! If it wasn't for MadameRubi; couldn't have gotten from A to B without you - you know that! Thank you, thank you!! Sorry, I didn't find you & your daughter. But, will see you again soon - I hope. You're a beautiful person!

~ a day in The Zone (completely amazing) ~

The next morning... arrived there with 100 Lovehammers' Promo Packages, and a ton of other LH (red) stuff... Everyone thought I had too much, but I didn't want to hurt any little children by not having enough. It turned out we could have used much more. But, there were lots of promoters with stuff inside: AT&T had fans too. Trevi was nice enough to meet me (find me; as it was a huge place). We managed to carry it all, in a huge red heart basket. People were interested, so we passed them out to the cars passing by. The (one) line went on & on... So, we looked at each other and just went for it "Anyone like a fan?", well after waiting in line in the sun for an hour... Everyone was coming up to us. First, wanting to purchase them. When they found out they were free, and it had anything to do with "Marty, from RockStar:INXS" We didn't have do much more... We were doing such a good job that the DJ from The Zone even gave us his stuff, so I gave him some MC&LH postcards to pass out - it's only fair right ;-) He found it funny! And, did it!! Then, had ten minutes to get back to the car to put the basket away and still keep my place in line. It was a close call. Then, heard "keep calling, keep..." sound check (adding a bit more time to their short set) Keshet made me a beautiful LH bag to carry around, and I needed every inch of it. Thank you so much. Great meeting you & your new hammerhead sister - lol. No, you probably won't be seeing that T-shirt again. You both are awesome! Kes was the first to arrive (again), and had to parked the farthest away, I know, because I drove her 3 miles (so it seemed) to her newly damaged truck. So very sorry Kes!!! ;-(
The highlight was being there when Marty was singing Trees, and the entire crowd started singing along, by the second verse Marty look down & smiled, and placed the mic out in the audience and everyone sang the entire "It will be you & me up in the Trees & the forest.." Being towards the front; I have to say.. I, too most impressed. It was quite loud & clear ;-)
The entire set was short; yet incredible!
A guy from the first band wanted me to watch them, so I did. Thought they were great, so he gave me their CD (winners of Battle of the Bands). Then, asked him to make certain to watch Lovehammers, and he gave me a funny face. So, I told him they were not just all about "Trees", and that I listened when he wanted me to. Again, it was only fair. He found me later (have no idea how) and told me that he thought "LH were awesome," and thanked me. Hooray for Polarfan; as she looked at me and said she had to go start STing afterwards... thank you so very much for doing that. She is so really good at this stuff! After the show, we (I was right behind the rest) went to greet the guys, so Anamitara & I started passing out postcards; like Kimberly87, but we were at the end and happen to find ourselves suddenly trapped against the fence. Then all of a sudden when Marty came near, three girls charged right at us; I mean Marty, pinning us to the temporary fence.. No thank you to you women!!! Most concerned about these two little girls. And, had no idea where Anamitara went?! He was told one more (too bad, but for good reason) He did sign both little girls postcards before leaving. One of them grapped a card out of my hand & started yelling for Marty, but he was out of there. She was so cute, because she wanted me to have one too. I told her I was just thrilled they both had theirs & that we were all safe now. It was crazy, and I guess I now know better than to stand between a fence & Marty Casey ever again! Nice first impression!!
Biggest sorry goes to Trevi, as I promised to take some photos for her... the crowd was massive & the opportunities were slim. My deepest apologizes to you! Well, I'm pooped. And, have a slight burn too; as I was hanging out with Kes. Road trip next Friday? It all paid off; especially today when I was listening to The Zone's DJ Monica Lowe come on the radio, and said it was a great day in The Zone, and she had to admit that MC&LH were her favorite part (he, he). She seemed pretty impressed with all of us Hammerheads too! And, JD apparently used the F word way too many times. We left like so many others... He sure knows how to clear out a place - sorry to say, but it was true in this case. They call him "JD Potty-Mouth." Suppose no one told him it was an all age event. Anyway, that is all I have to share...

Thanks so much to all of you who posted stories and pictures. Thanks to all you wonderful street teamers. You all rock

[yakketyyak]

Thanks for posting the great reviews and sharing your pictures! And I agree with Needy that those of you who street team are so good to the band and you are appreciated for your galant efforts!!!

Chanvre, I am on the other coast and could not go, but it saddens me even more that you tried but were unable to see them perform.

[rockfan]

Enjoyed reading all the reports of DITZ. Thanks everyone for sharing them.

Chanvre - I feel your pain. So sorry that happened.

[chanvre]

Aw, thanks guys. It stung pretty bad to be thisclose, you know? BUT..there's always October.

I love all of your stories so much. Keep 'em coming! It's good therapy in a torturous way.
