Unfortunately my special guest had something come up.  Now my usual free ticket has become available again to whomever is in need.  Good seat next to me, available through this forum first come, first serve.  No takers by Friday 9:00 a.m. I resort to usual tactics.

Re: San Diego, Feb. 18 Balboa Theater

rickb and all attendees to the pre-show party:

thank you so much for your generous hospitality.  we had a great time with some great people.  we met some wonderful forum regulars, and many new faces tonight.  another great show by JB and da boyz.  new set...new songs...new crew members...new bus????....drummer....and a sold out venue.   i am pretty sure Joe as made it....crowds are bigger, many newbies, and Joe keeps evolving as an artist.  new songs sprinkled between old standards remixed.....very very cool.
thanks again to all involved...and thanks to Joe and crew for another stellar performance......c-ya in ft wayne and ohio next month.

Yeah, what SRVrules said! A rainy night in San Diego with a nice preparty at the Hard Rock attended by 23 total.  Joe Rocked the House. My 91 year young mother is a Bonavirgin no more. She said "He blew me away with Woke Up Dreaming!" She had a nice chat with Joe at the meet and greet too and Joe and staff were super nice in straightening out a ticket snafu I had. What a guy! More later, we have to pack up for the run to Vegas in the morning. WOO HOO this show is KILLER!

Did anybody order the 25 $ burger? Sounds like a burger for a family and I wonder what size this burger has?

No burgers, I had arranged for appetizer trays for the crew and an area of our own overlooking the bar and restaurant. The restaurant couldn't keep them coming fast enough. It was just great getting to meet so many folks from the forum. More later and vids if they are decent, I shot an hour and a half of video.

Re: San Diego, Feb. 18 Balboa Theater

What and adventure we had last night.  It was a bit frustrating getting down there with the rainey weather and along with that accidents and traffic.  The ride on the 163 to downtown was better but navigating downtown was, well I will not go into details other that to say I felt like the Griswolds on European Vacation stuck in that traffic circle.  But once parked and at the preparty all was well again.  We had a brew, some food and met some great people.  It is nice to put faces to the board names here and discover that Rockfarmer and I are practically neighbors.

Rick, thanks for posting the group shot before you left today.  Your mom is so sweet.

Rocket, the hubby wants me to be sure and thank you for the JB pick tin.  It was kind and unexpected.

The long anticipated time had come as we all found our way to the theatre and got seated.  As all you JB vetrans know that listening to the CDs or watching the youtubes is nothing compared to seeing the live performance.  As Joe and the band were up there on stage I kept trying to think of a word to describe what I was witnessing.  DYNAMIC!!!!  Is there a word in the Bona Glossary for that?  JOENAMIC.   smile

I am still basking in the after glow of no longer being a Bona-Virgin.  I agree with Ricks mom, Woke up Dreaming was phenominal.  A man and his guitar on stage belting it out.  It was nice to hear some of the new songs and of course the hubbys favorite John Henry.

Life will never be the same now that we have been exposed to the Joe effect.

To all you going to Vegas, have a safe journey.

Re: San Diego, Feb. 18 Balboa Theater

Nice job Rick! Shades of SF last March, but on a slightly larger scale. Trust me being there was number one on my list of places to be for my B Day yesterday, but you can't always get what you want, tied down to work up here, but that's a good thing. Sure hopin' JB hits the Bay Area later this year and get to see some of you SoCals up here in my 'hood.
