Text from Lou at 4:16 (my time) "OMG OMG OMG" (I guess that meant it was good! Says "Concert was out of this world. All in great spirits and Joe really rocked it. Thought of you every time Tim sang!" awww Said Don looked sexy. Imagine that? Jess got good pictures also.

They are so pumped for tonight in the first row!!!

I can't wait to see these pictures and can you imagine the ones Jess will get tonight?

Has anyone else noticed---NO ONE has complained about the camera Nazis this time around! What the heck is up, no suits, M & Gs in town that Borderers need them and they are letting people take pictures and videos at will! They must be taking their happy pills!!!

Well Rhonda and I are up and awake and running on about 5 hours sleep. The concert was amazing. The five of us had 12th row seats so we had a great view of all the guys. It was so much fun to be there with everyone! The crowd was really enthusiastic and the boys rocked the whole night. When the last notes of Desperado faded away you wanted to beg them to keep playing. What an awesome night!

The "camera nazi's" only seemed to take issue with anyone recording the show (though Annie got some really good audio/video of a couple songs using her iPhone until they made her stop). There seemed to be no issue with still shots though and Rhonda and Jess got some amazing photos that I know they will be sharing.

Awesome!!! Can't wait to hear more. Of course, there is no pressure on you girls. Just take your time and keep us posted whenever you can. We're a patient bunch.

NOT!

That sounds like a very great evening! I'm looking forward to hear more and can't wait to see the pics!

So, Were they allowing people to take "real cameras" into the show? Or was it just phone-cams they didn't object to? Oh how I wish that I'd been able to take a camera in to the concerts we attended 5 or 6 years ago <sigh>. Or to the Crossroads Festival in Dallas! But nope, they were practically strip-searching people before they would allow us onto the grounds <sigh>. Such good displays of guitars and guitarists there!

Thanks WT for posting a tidbit about the show. Now, do you and Ticky have tickets to tonight's show or are you two heading home today?

Real cameras. Both Jess and Rhonda and many others had regular cameras there and as long as there were no flashes going off and you didn't leave your seat there was no problem.

No, sadly we have to head home. First we are going to have lunch with Jess, Lou, and Annie though. Oh, and deal with a flat tire

Uh-oh - first bit of car trouble from the San Jose camp.

Wait - isn't this when Don or one of the Eagles is supposed to come along and give you a lift? C'mon Ticky, start writing!

BTW, tell those girls to get on the ball and post their reviews!

I forgot about the whole Eagles to the rescue thing! Maybe they are down in the garage right now changing my tire and waiting for us to waltz in and greet our heroes!

The girls haven't posted anything because they are still asleep... we were up talking until after 2 am and then apparently they stayed up even later after they went back to their room. We heard from Jess a couple minutes ago though and she is going to try to get everyone up and moving.

I hope you know I'm just teasing. I know everybody had a late night and wants to sleep in. It is a vacation after all! I'm just doing my job as one of the left-behind Borderers of letting you know that we're ready to have a few crumbs thrown our way.
