San Francisco, California

Right now I am sitting in my sister's apartment in San Francisco looking out her windows at Nob Hill straight ahead and the Bay Bridge off to the left. The sun has just set and the cool breeze is coming through the windows. It feels so nice here, especially with the sounds of the city in the background. The lights are on now on the bridge and the rest of the buildings and skyscrapers that I can see from here. It is really relaxing right now.

I flew in around 2:45pm from Seattle today after staying the night in Seattle. I went to the airport really early because I was so afraid of repeating last year's epic 23 hour visit to the Sea-Tac Airport due to me missing my 6:00am flight. Today I arrived somewhere around 9am for my 12:30pm flight, which was really nice because I was able to kick back and relax while I waited for my flight and I also had enough time to get gifts for my girls. For the third year in a row, I spent Labor Day weekend at the Gorge near George, Washington, camping out and seeing Dave Matthews Band on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday night!! The best part is that O.A.R. opened for them each night so that made things even better. I met some awesome people this year and am definitely going to keep in touch with them so that we can all meet up again next year!

Labor Day Weekend 2008

St. Louis to Seattle, Washington

Today I flew from St. Louis, Missouri to Seattle, Washington and then will drive to George, Washington tomorrow morning which is where the Gorge Amphitheatre and Campground are located. This is going to be the third straight year that I have flown out here to see Dave Matthews Band at the Gorge on Labor Day weekend! I am pretty excited again, as usual. I arrived today around 11am, but I didn't get to the hotel until around 1pm, the bad thing is that check-in wasn't until 2pm!! I didn't know that until the lady working the front desk told me. So, I went outside and sat there until she was able to get a clean room for me, which actually wasn't too long. The only bad thing is that it was much cooler out here and I totally forgot to pack pants!! I can't believe I did that! I totally wasn't thinking. Tomorrow I will have to buy a couple pairs at a store somewhere along the way. Oh well, I will try to update each day since I will have my computer there with me and plenty of time on my hands during the day.

From the DMB Website

"As we sat this afternoon contemplating the loss of our brother, we wondered how we could possibly do a show today. Dave put it into perspective stating, "There's no place I'd rather be than here with you guys right now." We cherish special memories of our lost friend. Tonight, Dave told a story about LeRoi at a bar in Virginia where the cash register was near the stage and LeRoi leaned on the register because "standing had become a chore". Roi proceeded to play the most beautiful version of Somewhere Over The Rainbow. Dave said, "that was the day I fell in love with him. And I'm still in love with him." It's safe to say we all were in love with him. "It's always easier to leave, than to be left." -DM

I haven't had a chance to write about this concert until now, so I am trying to catch up on things and writing this on the 28th of August from Seattle.

I went to Memphis on the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd of August with Jessica and her husband, Terry so that we could see the Dave Matthews Band concert on Saturday. It was so awesome! It was one of the top five DMB concerts that I have been to. It was so hot that night, about 90 degrees, maybe even 95, even after the sun went down. It was crazy hot! The great thing was that the band played for about 3 hours and seemed to be enjoying every minute of it! We had General Admission tickets that were on the field and we were able to get pretty close to the stage and were right in the center which made a really nice view. This was my 16th DMB concert and the first without LeRoi Moore playing because of his accident back in June. Unfortunately he died on August 19th, which was terrible news. It was a really fun night though and the concert was fantastic!! I can't wait until tomorrow when I will see them at the Gorge for the first of three nights!
