Not well. 

The guy in front of me was recording, and I was really too busy having a good time.   

That's the exact reason all my pictures are always shitty (except for that time I had a press pass) and why I don't even offer to record anything.  My recording, as Mel knows, would be filled with shrieks, screams, hoots, woops, and my horrible singing voice.  I can't CONCENTRATE when Weiland's in front of me.  Please.

Thanks for the pics! Now I have new STP wallpaper at work

This show was Amazing.. I certainly can't do it more justice than the reviews that were already posted.. but suffice to say I didn't want the night to end, and now I'm having Scott withdrawal!
 
I took over 50 pics with my cell, and some video.. since I was practically front row center - though I could shoot myself for not figuring out that the video can be zoomed. Stupid LG.

By the way, for those of you who were close to the front of the stage, I was the girl that got lifted over the gate by security and the medics - haha, how embarassing..

BWAH HA HA!!! I saw you walk right in front of me!! 

Since y'all know I'm a medic, I was like, WTH happened to her?

I was right where the security guards leaped over the rail and kicked some ass.    The security guy in front of me was good.  All I had to do was make eye contact and he jumped on it.

Apparently I was severely dehydrated.. since I opted not to drink anything since I'd be waiting in line a long time for GA and didn't want to lose my spot

The medics wanted to take me to the hospital but I said there was no way I was missing this show.. so I laid on the stretcher during BRMC's set and drank plenty of H2O and signed a paper to the effect of if I die its not their fault..

Once I saw Scott I felt all better

Damn SG, glad you're okay.  (I would have done the same thing though) 

Awesome pictures!

As far as pics/recording goes...I'm the same way.  The bf had to take most of them in Akron.  I'd get too befuddled to concentrate on taking them.  Especially when ya got Scott or Dean right in front of you "posing" for them.  (Agghh, drop the camera or something)

I'm with ya there Jessie, I make too much noise and move around too much to try to record.  Ya know, the more I think about it, at Akron...I shoulda had you and the bf switch seats!  We coulda been the two Screaming Mimi's up there!  ;P

We're idiots.  We should have AT LEAST met up after the show and gotten a coffee or something.

We will.  Next show.

Well, one good thing came out of the dehydration affair..

Unless I was hallucinating - which I'm fairly sure wasn't the case.. When the medic asked me to try sitting up on the stretcher, I saw someone walk by in the hall who looked a lot like Dean.. and someone with him who also looked oddly familiar..

Apparently my oxygen starved brain took a few seconds too long to figure out that I was laying down near the VIP/backstage area and that Dean and Rob DeLeo had just casually breezed by!!

OMG!  I would have ripped off that oxygen, hopped off the stretcher, and done anything and everything necessary to get to the DeLeos.  And make them take me to Scott.   

[sourgirl]

I know! But I figured it would be bad form to jump off my stretcher and run down the hall past the backstage security..

I just have this nagging feeling that Scott walked by when I was turned the other way!?

I already know for a fact that he walked past me when my back was turned while I was trying to force down some of the Risi Bisi pizza before getting in line.. (someone else told me about 30 min later - I thought I was going to cry)

I would have jumped offa that stretcher so fast your head woulda spun.

however, chances are that at least one of the medics knows me, so they would expect nothing less.  LMFAO.

Or went looking for Scott!  Actually it pains me to say this but we probably could've.  I was on the phone after the show with one of my good friends.  By that time we were on the freeway (8 or 77) heading home.  She tells me..."Go back!  They are in their buses, they'll meet you."  (She's met them many times)  The stupid bf wanted to get out and go home!  Him was tired...whaaah (Ha, I just went Bernie Mac there...rip my good man)

There's my shots in all of their un-edited glory.  LOL!  They're awful, but I haven't really tried to re-work any of them.

OMFG... this is from the girl that was right in front of me.  WOOT! 

The security guy you see in the vid, he was awesome.

Does anyone know if there is an audio bootleg of this show out there anywhere... I have about 12-15 shows from this tour, but I was at this show and it was probably the best I've seen them this time around. I've checked dime and the den and i cant find it anywhere. HELP!
