We saw it Friday nite at the IMAX in San Francisco. Great time prior to the show,meeting up w/folks from IORR, Shidoobee and Undercover.... My first IMAX - Wow, now I want a bigger house and a bigger sound system. And we should have sat in the back w/ Sarah and the gang - they were dancing and carrying on! But most folks were at least clapping, toe-tapping, and moving in their seats. I'm g

The night before O2? hahaha....Hartbr8kr and I are in the North Bay - can't make the Russell exhibit (MIL B-day)...but we'll keep our calendar clear for the 2nd meeting of BAPS.

We were there also - my dream show - the first time seeing the boys on their home turf, and still the smallest venue I've been in. I'll never forget the wave of electricity that went thru the the entire arena when the first few notes of Paint It Black were played. Awesome.

October is prime time in SF - the fog goes away, and the rain hasn't started. If you can rent a car, and decide to check out the Sonoma County wineries, be sure to head west to Bodega Bay and see the pacific coast. Drive Hwy 1, stop often, comb the beaches, and have clam chowder or fresh dungeness crab and french bread at Lucas Wharf or The Tides. While in The City, it's ok to be a tourist

Never being one to follow instructions....no rating from me, but I need to express my ABB experience..... 2005 - Nov 15 San Francisco 2 - Full Moon, folks whoo-whooing down Market St at 1 am in shirt sleeves. If it weren't for the woman next to me asking me to be quiet and not dance, it was a 10. 2006 - March 4 MGM Grand Vegas - great venue, a 3 day Stones convention. 2006 - Nov 6 OAKLAND.

OK...typically for a Stones show, I'll wear my 1999 Oakland opening nite No Security shirt, and Hartbr8kr will wear her Heartbreaker design t-shirt no one recognizes....BUT....now we have our very cool IORR shirts - wear them to the concert on the 26th or to the festivities the day/night before? Or? What's a girl to do??

Santa Cruz California - between Jr and Sr years of high school, on vacation w/ my girlfriend and her family. I did not return to Santa Cruz for many years after that....finally, in August 1995 I did - and on the 9th, Jerry Garcia died. I can never go back.

OK, OK...I was impatient and wanted GREAT seats for the Frankfurt show, (not being as savvy as most of you) and went thru the RS Hot Ticket package - well, no tickets have arrived - it's June 2, we leave California for Frankfurt on June 7....I write to eTix, and get this in reply: Tickets for this concert have not yet been issued.

Hey NumberOneStonesFan in Hawaii....did you order your Paris tix on 3/28 via Ticketnet.fr? I'm in California, and am still waiting - it's like the tix hoppped over the West Coast straight to you!

We bit the bullet and reserved at the Hilton Frankfurt Hotel, where the fan asylum package folks are staying. It only costs ein arm und ein bein. This $ to Euro rate is really messing w/ the budget!

Now I've gone and done it - I've given fuel to the dark side! Just kidding...some of my best buds live in SoCal! The point I was trying to make re: PacBell versus San Jose versus Oakland - it's just that the Oakland crowd is amazing - it's like we're long lost friends/family, all gathered for a common purpose/passion. I've never been to a SoCal show, so I have no point of reference. The Vegas

Exactly! Actually, I just saw that, and was hoping to see them there but I've already got tix for my 2nd passion (after the Stones) - NHRA drags at Sears Point the same night!

I just got irked at Pac Bell - the lady next to me (granted, was not FOS) first asked me to keep it down (um, I was screaming and whistling when the boys first got on stage), then, as I stood dancing, she asked me to move over or sit...What was she doing at a Stones concert??? Gotta say, it was amazing that it stop raining there in Nov 2002 - remember that really bad storm? 80mph winds and all.
