AFTER PT II (At The Bus):

For the end of the night…we walked outside (I honestly barely remember that walk! Not from drinking but just the sensory overload of the night!) & got pics with DG & her sister in front of Oven’s…

then went around to the bus. Just a handful of people waiting, maybe 20 or so.

We hung out a while, chatted with Shuckra & her hubby (he is great!) & Butterflyinclouds and a few others (forgive me for not remembering everyone) & then Dino came up the stairs…got a cute pic of him walking by.

We didn’t stop him…he seemed to want to get to the bus. A little bit later Billy came up, he stopped & chatted & took pics! I REALLY REALLY like Billy & his personable attitude is just the best. He said the show was incredible, GREAT energy…RF asked about HOB again & he said maybe! Lots of offers for lots of places, they didn’t know yet…he checked out Shuckra’s banner again (the stick figures of the guys was just hilarious & sooo perfect!) & took some pics with the banner.



A little bit of time went by, some people left, & then Marty came out with Ted. (never saw Bobby at the end of the night, for all we knew he was wisked around the other side of bus in a car & we would never know cuz we were so zeroed in on the theatre door!) & Ted is so funny, he goes “OK, now play NICE” & put his hands palm down out in front of him (as if to say keep it mellow, I’m giving you guys a few minutes with Marty) & Marty stayed outside for awhile. SOOOO gracious, as always!! He did seem more energized after the show. He chatted for a few minutes with Shuckra’s hubby Mario (he loves talking to the guys & getting their honest POV) & then RF & I got some more pics with him, & some more hugs.



We watched a few ‘interesting’ conversations he was having with some others…and then RF tells me “I want a pic of the 3 of us!” & believe it or not, I was hesitant. I didn’t want to cross that line of being a pest – but then I remembered, hell! I already had! Hee hee (thanks RF for making this pic happen)

– we got the pic with Marty, got our last hugs, said our goodbyes to the other new friends we’d made & went home.
I couldn’t sleep, went to sleep around 4:30am I think…was SUCH a great time, RF thank you for being such a terrific hostess! I must say this trip/concert/m&g was just first class all the way.
Hope you enjoyed the story!

(more pics to follow, bf is here & I made him wait while I finished this part!)

WOW Jodie I love your experience...Guess I should have gone around to the buses myself....DARNIT

[Sandra]

DG love that pic of Dino and Bobby too cute

[ndluv]

wow DG! that pic of the Greek gods is great!

[butterflynclouds]

Here, I have a few extras from the show.. I wanted to include some from Mellow Mushroom (not Mystic Pizza-Jodieca-LOL!!) of all of us, etc.

Did you know that Dan has a girlfriend of like 12 years? Yeah.. I was pretty bummed to find out about that.

But.. I digress..

[butterflynclouds]

I don't know who this is.. cuz I was just snapping away with the camera -- but whomever you are - Here's your moment of fame!!

[butterflynclouds]

Okay, Gotta post this pic of Shuckra.. because if this isn't the vision of a HAPPY HAMMERHEAD.. I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS!!!

[mondegreen]

Just jumping in to say that this has to be one of the best show-review threads I've seen all tour! I've been getting a huge kick out of all of your reports.

I also want to nominate OJ-odie as "Most Likely to Have a Lovehammers Encounter." Pretty soon, the band may be following her around!

P.S. Jodie, please accept my condolences on the loss of your grandma. You're in my thoughts.

Thank you, Jodie, for the WONDERFUL videos of the Charlotte show. I almost feel like I was there when I watch these ... complete with accelerated heartbeat and sweaty palms. Again, thanks for keeping such a steady hand on that camera and for sharing these with us. The boys clearly feel comfortable with you, too, and that must be a nice feeling.
