Best Moment

Best moment before 9/16/01...
How can it be anything but the time I met the boys at the Central Park show and I got pictures with the 3 of them. Darren was out of it (tired), Robert was out of it (drunk), and Ben was the last to come out and as the kid next to me offered Ben a doughnut (which Ben seemed so annoyed with) Ben them came to say hi to everyone else and I was next. He looked at me and I looked at him and all I ask him is how is the wife (this was right after they got married and while she was pregnant), the look on his face I will never forget because he seemed so relieved and happy that someone would ask him this. He looked at me and said; "There great, I just miss them a lot and can't wai to get back there to be with them." I can't forget that honest and frank talk that we had, it was amazing.

Waiting outside Lupo's Heartbreak Hotel in Providence, RI 4 hours before the concert time even started, it was me and 2 other people whose names I forgot (who am I kidding, I never asked) and as I am walking to get online, Ben, Snuzz, and Millard walked out of the front door of the concert place all alone with no security and were gettin something to eat. I saw them and freaked out...then hesitated...then decided to stop them. They all seemed shocked that I was even stopping them (they probably though wow...someone knows us) and I said Ben..."Great show last night," he thanked me for being there. I told Snuzz; "I loved what you did with Bus Stop," and quickly said; "Millard, I loved what you and Owsley did with The Semantics," and they all were wowed and happy and Snuzz turns to me and says; "Wow, you're an old school fan." I went to continute waiting online with a permanent smile on my face that one of my favorite artsits called me old school. After they went to get food, they came back seperately, Ben first and me and the two people waiting with me stopped him and just started talking even though you could tell he was in a rush to get back in for sound check. I asked him to play Lonely Christmas Eve now that he is solo and he said he forgot it but will relearn it for the holiday tour. One girl told Ben she will see him inside, he said; "Ok, I will be the one on stage playing the piano...with the beard on my face," classic Ben humor. I got my picture taken with him. Then came Snuzz and Millard complaining to us about them getting lost in Providence but we all laughed about it and I also got pics with them. So awesome, and the icing on the cake is...me and 6 other people got there so early that we got to witness sound check by slightly opening the front door, you can see the stage at Lupo's from the front door. They were all great, he played all of RTS including Carrying Cathy, something he didnt play the night before in Boston. You people should hear some of the songs he plays during sound check, he is so wierd but we love him. I forgot the names of them but that might be for the better.
