I just looked at that photo again and I think that was the first time Marty stepped onto the railing and I was staring up at him not believing my crazy luck choosing that spot in the whole place.... then I moved my hand over so I was touching his shoe (ha ha)!!! The look on my face is priceless! I look like I'm in complete awe - almost like I'm dreaming. Oh how I wish I could magically transport myself back to that first time. :-) What a weekend!!!

I think I found another one from a different angle -

Thanks for the pictures, Lesley! They're awesome & bring back Great memories of my LOVEHAMMERS June weekend!

I'm looking forward to the Sept. 25th show at the Key Club.

I bummed it's not being advertised in the LA weekly.
The Key Club posts the acts for Sept. 24 & 26th, but not the 25th?? LOVEHAMMERS could really use some advertising for this Hollywood show.

I wonder what Tricks Dino has planned.......Playing "Tricky", I hope!

aloha,
KP

welcome! glad to post them!

swillis- you will get there in time....... I saw them 10 times in 2006. LOL

Wow-how did you work that out?? Looks like my second time is coming up at Summerfest, as we are unexpectedly IN town for the show, so if it all works out, that will be 2 for '09.......so far!

I do not know how I missed this, but after the RS:INXS run and my discovery of MXC and then the LH, I got 4th row tickets to the Inxs/LH show in Seattle on January 19th, 2006. Luckily, the first two rows were empty during LH so I was in the front row for my first LH show. It was only a 30 minute set and was way too short for this hammervirgin (losing your virginity is always "quick" it seems..lol). So then I found out that the LH were doing a "one-off" at the Viper room in Hollywood on January 27th. I looked up airfare and it was cheap and the show was even cheaper. like 10 dollars. a hammerhead friend that I met online worked for a hotel company and got me a deal at the west chamberlain hotel 2 blocks from the viper room. (320.00 room for 69.00), then there was NYC on Valentines day. My hotel room at the ho jos was more money than the airfare. it was 50 buck cab ride to JFK airport (each way) but let me tell you. That show was legendary. Then there was Memphis in May, May 05th, 2006. MC "mooned the crowd", the last and only time I have ever known of him doing that. Then the Day in the Zone Festival in June (with Inxs and others), then Summerfest in WI, then the show in August in Indianapolis on the Get Live tour. then Oysterfest in Chicago in September, then Hammerjam in rocktober in Chicago, and then NYE in Chicago. oh no that is only 10. I might be missing one.

[rockbeast]

oh never mind its 10, I just recounted, I was a hammerho in one year....one year.

[mcmaniac]

Wow! You are so lucky to have been able to see so many shows. I can't even imagine how much fun that was! I get to go when they are near me, but I don't get the opportunity to travel like a lot of you do. That would be so much fun! That's why I come here. I live vicariously through all of you! I do get to go the St. Louis Blueberry Hill show and possibly the ARF benefit the next night. Still working on that.

Thanks for sharing your experiences!

[LisaBCanada]

Man, that is awesome Rockbeast! You're my idol!! I'm still working on my second time, although I did see LH twice in June back to back.

[rockbeast]

thanks mc and lisa! It was fortunate. I used a lot of my savings in 2006. I am going on shows 17 and 18 in February! And only one of those was in Seattle where I live. LOL!!! I still am trying to get the connected or booked on a "themed cruise" with other bands. The Rock the Boat cruise and Vince Neil Motley Cruise were both very successful and Dino has sparked interest in getting on one of these. I say....MAKE IT HAPPEN! Nothing is impossible........

Cheers
