Here is the setlists for the three nights that Dave Matthews Band played at The Gorge in Washington over Labor Day Weekend. I had an awesome time!

CALEB WILLIS

Friday, April 27, 2007

Caleb Jordan Willis, 17, passed away Thursday, April 19, 2007, while wakeboarding at Spring Valley Lake in Victorville. He left this world doing what he loved. Caleb began wakeboarding at age 9. He was a member of the Spring Valley Lake and Canyon Lake wakeboard clubs. He also traveled throughout the United States competing at Nationals, Worlds and the Junior Pro Tour for the past several years. In 2004 he traveled to Sevilla, Spain, for the WWC Wakeboard Championships and placed eighth. He aspired to be a pro wakeboarder. He was an honor student at Sultana High School with many friends. He was drug free and encouraged many of his friends to be responsible in many ways. Caleb is in heaven with his mom. He will be greatly missed by his family and friends. Caleb is survived by his proud father, Big Mike; sisters Rachael and Rianna; brother Jamison; grandparents Stan and Nancy Willis and Boyce Woody; plus the many families that adopted him in their hearts. A viewing took place from 5 to 9 p.m. Thursday at the Victor Valley Mortuary, where people were able to come and see what his life was all about. Services will be held at 1 p.m. today at High Desert Church. Please wear casual clothing (no suits); board shorts and flip flops are acceptable. You can also honor Caleb and his family by going to www.myspace.com/wemissyoucaleb. The Caleb Jordan Willis Memorial fund has been established. Donations can be made at any Wells Fargo Bank location.

Wakeboarding injuries kill Victorville teen
By KATHERINE ROSENBERG

VICTORVILLE — A 17-year-old died from injuries he suffered on Spring Valley Lake when attempting a wakeboarding stunt, officials said Friday.

Caleb Willis, 17, of Victorville was pronounced dead at Desert Valley Hospital about an hour
after he was injured, according to the San Bernardino County Coroner’s Web site. Initial reports were that he struck his head on the board, officials said.

The accident was reported around 4:30 p.m. Thursday and deputies and paramedics were sent to the 18000 block of Pier Drive in Spring Valley Lake, said Sgt. Lon Jacobs of the Victor Valley station.

Deputy Ryan Gutierrez arrived within minutes and relieved bystanders — including Willis’ family — of CPR compressions, Jacobs said.

“Ryan said that at no time did the victim show signs of life,” Jacobs said. “CPR was constantly being administered.”

Although an air ambulance was called, as soon as American Medical Response arrived Willis was transported to Desert Valley Hospital where he died around 5:45 p.m.

“As far as I understand there was nothing criminal about it, they were just out enjoying lake recreationally,” Jacobs said.

Deputy Troy McComas from the Colorado River station was called to the area to conduct a fatal boating accident investigation, authorities said.

It is the second death on Spring Valley Lake this month. A 19-year-old drowned April 1 when boating after hours, officials said.

“This was just a horrific, tragic accident,” Jacobs said.

Caleb Willis

I have just received more terrible news. I really can not believe it right now, but I have to get it out of my head and put it into words. My sisters' former step-son, Caleb, was killed today while wake-boarding. He was 17 years old. I have not seen Caleb since my sisters divorce, several years ago, so when I think about him, I still see him as a young boy. I remember video taping him while wake-boarding so that he could see how much "air" he got. I remember the happy and proud look on his face when he watched the video. I am so sad for his father Mike, sister's Rachel and Rianna and younger brother Jamison. Rachel and Jamison have already lost their mother to cancer and Mike lost his wife. Now they must face this reality which is unbearable to think about. I can't help but cry for the loss of such a wonderful boy. I am so sad for my sister also, who loved him like her own son, and to my nephews and nieces who lived with him for many years. They have all lost someone very close to them and I know they are hurting right now. The world has lost another young life that was so promising. My heart goes out to all of his family and friends. This is going to be the beginning of some very tough times for many people.
Goodbye Caleb, you will be missed, but you will remain in my heart and in the hearts of many others.

I Can't Wait For the 2007 Summer Tour!!!!!

33 Years Old!!

I can't believe that I am 33 years old now! I don't feel like I am at all, which is a good thing I guess. My birthday, yesterday, was also a little sad. It was the first one that my Dad wasn't alive to see. I always enjoyed hearing from him on my birthday. He always brought a smile to my face.

My birthday was sort of split into two parts. The girls took me to dinner tonight to celebrate because last night I volunteered to work one of the concession stands at the Scott-Trade Center in St Louis during the Blues game. The money that we raised last night went to the girls school, so I figured that it was for a very good cause. Anything to help improve the education opportunities for children is a worthy cause. I think we raised around $500 for the school last night, just selling beer, food and drinks to the fans.

I actually had a pretty good time doing it. The Blues played the Detroit Redwings and won the game with a score of 1-0! I love going to hockey games, but I haven't been to a Blues game in a couple of years because of the strike. It is sad, the stadium was only half-full, if that. Oh well, it is going to take a few years to get the fans confidence back and start the process of building a devoted fan base.

There were 6 of us that went there to work the stand. Melanie rounded up most of them, including me, at the last minute. For the amount of money raised, it was worth it. Hopefully the school will be able to put it to good use.


Today was my birthday dinner. Melanie and the Girls took me out to Texas Roadhouse which is one of my top two favorite restaurants! I had a really good time, even though I was totally put in the spot light! Megan told the waitress that it was my birthday! So, the next think I know, I am sitting on a saddle, everyone is looking at me and the staff is singing some song as loud as they can to the whole restaurant!!! Then I had to twirl my napkin around in the air when everone yelled "yee haw!!" (or something like that). I wasn't too embarassed though! Usually I wouldn't have climbed on the saddle, but it is amazing what you will do when your three daughters are looking at you and smiling. I didn't want to act like a little baby and run away!

Well, other than that, not much else went on for my birthday. I guess as you get older, they just don't mean as much. I do know that this last year taught me so much. I think I grew up more during my 32nd year than I have in a very long time

Sarasota, Florida

Right now I am in Sarasota, Florida at my brother's house! I flew in last night at 8pm and it is so nice here! I left St Louis yesterday and the temperature was in the 30's with snow on the way. Today we went down to the beach just to see it and it was so beautiful! The temperature here today was in the high 70's and sunny! It is such an amazing change from one day to the next! I really can't believe that it is January right now.
Anyway, I just wanted to write a really quick message and attach some pictures. It is going to be a nice week here hopefully!
