The San Francisco gig...

[Voodoo Billy]

I love the tea, tissues and honey thing.....

I guess the tissues were there in case they were overcome with excitement at girlwithnoname's dress.

Nah, while I was in front of the stage, I was behind several people. No chance to swoon over the dress.

I was at the front of the stage as well, you know, the out of control dancing guy.

Of the three shows I attended, San Francisco was the best, especially since Mac was in a good mood, making a comment to the effect that this was his favorite city on the tour.

The LA crowd was relatively dead and I felt sorry when Kelly started the show to what felt like a silent audience. Maybe the American Idol crowd is too hip for the Bunnymen.

I didn't realize that the House of Blues Anaheim was embedded in that artificial world of Disney, a place I vowed never to go to in my lifetime, but sacrifices must be made for the Bunnymen.

Met them all, had a good talk with Gordy and all in Kelly's band, wishing them well in the post Bunnymen days ahead.

I had a blast on my road trip that I nicknamed the "Judgement Day Tour." Regardless of what night, I was experiencing rapture. I resume my alcoholic’s anonymous meetings next week after this temporary relapse.

Van Halen may be going on tour later in the year and I may be faced with the difficult task of choosing between them and the Bunnymen.

Have to agree the final songs from HUH were the highlight. Mac was really in fine form and completely at ease. Almost all of my best shots came from that three song window. Review up soon, but here's a link to the pix in the meantime.

I was at the Washington, DC show, and about 20 min. before doors opened, Will strolls out of the building and stood literally 10 ft from me. I had brought an arsenal of items hoping to get signed, and I just walked over to him, told him I was looking forward to the concert and would he please sign some things for me? He said yes but didn't know if Mac would {he left right after the show, so that didn't happen} and spent a good 15 minutes looking through my items, commenting about them "Oh yes, I have this one." to which I asked "Don't you have them all? I mean, it is your band!" he said "No, I've never seen this one (my Italian Concert cover) before. " He thumbed through my tour books and came to a picture of himself and proclaimed "This is me favorite picture of myself; it was taken in Liverpool." After all the signing he said "You're a proper fan, aren't you?" and I replied "You have no idea!". He was very easy to talk to, very down to earth. After the concert, Kelley Stoltz was walking around and I got to meet him too. Again, super nice, easy to talk with. That night was a once in a lifetime opportunity! BTW, I'm a woman, and all the above was done without the flashing of nipples :)

He sounds supernice! Lucky girl!
