Pics anyone? Or are they allowed?

Thank you, stymie. You are the best.

You are welcome. The guys said they would be back so I'll keep you posted.

It was a fun night!
After the first set we all got to meet everyone in the band.
I had the pleasure of chatting with St. Paul about running into him
the last time he was in the area and he knew who I was not cause of that but cause I sent him a message prior to the show and he recognized my face.
Eric Leeds was a pleasure and honor to meet, Kirk and Chance too.
They all took pics with me and signed my cds (very sociable).
I'd have to say St. Paul was the most!
Second set was a lot more crowded so I was glad to have had the chance to be there the whole time when there weren't that many people trying to get their attention. Me and my friends had them all to ourselves.
