Phenomenal gig.  Almost an hour of acoustic (a la Vienna), 15 minute break, and full out until around 11.  Great venue and meet and greet.

I had front row seats for the Nov. 15 show and I took many good pictures. What is the best way to share these?

Welcome myakkamike (do you live on the river of the same name - nice place).  The best way to share pictures is to put on Flickr, Picassa, or a similar site and then post a link to them here or in the Cool Pictures section.  Love to see them.

My wife ended up in the hospital and we were unable to go to the show. So bummed about it.
The venue/Joe was classy and refunded my money for the tickets.
Maybe next year he will come back by this way!

Otis, so sorry to hear of your troubles.  Sure hope your wife is not faced with anything serious.

How lucky to actually get a refund, that is unheard of.  Eased the pain a stitch but what a massive disappointment.  I'll bet you'll find a way to make up for it at a later date.  At least you have the Force dvds to tide you over.

Best to you and wife.

Thanks for the kind words Sally12333. Unfortunately is IS something serious. She just was released from the hospital yesterday, is feeling better - but has a lot of following up/getting better ahead of her.
I too was shocked that the REH venue agreed to refund all of the ticket prices to me. As i stated above - pretty classy of them.

Joe's organization is indeed classy. I bought the 'Blues Deluxe' lithograph (which got me the 2 front row tickets and 2 Meet and Greets to this show) but it arrived with its frame damaged due to rough handling in shipping. Joe's organization paid me for a complete reframing I had done at a local shop here in Sarasota. They're a fine organization in an age of lousy service and indifference.
