Just got home from seeing Beth open for the Rides in Pittsburgh. She is an amazing talent, I felt so fortunate to be in her audience. I met Scott (sheesh, what a looker! and so sweet.) I hung around outside the auditorium after her set in hopes of saying hi and that we are all so proud of her! I also had a small gift for her. Hooray, she finally came out and met a sizable group of fans. She spent lots of time with each of us and was interested in everyone, very gracious. She seemed to like the gift too, and I got a pic with her that I will use for my avatar for a while as soon as I can fix it up. When I told her Joe was responsible for my knowing her, she said "Yeah, he's a genius". They had to drive to Chicago tonight -ugh.
So fun that AIRPORTDON spoke to me in the midst of the crowd, said he recognized me from my avatar! Happy to finally meet. Hey Don, Beth came outside 30 seconds after you gave up and went back in! If I had had your number I would have called and got you to come back!! Then I went back in for the Rides but wasn't nearly as excited as for Beth, plus Joe has completely ruined me - just no one can compare, not even Kenny Wayne Shepherd...
Scott was helping set up the merch table - - they had T-shirts with 5 different Beth designs, all on black shirts, along with Seesaw, Don't Explain, and Bang Bang, each for $20.

I need some Joe...NOW.
Joe = Joy
