We all agreed with her. We never thought that Ohio would have as many trees as it did. But, hey, we're just a bunch of southerners (plus one westerner) traveling around. We don't know much. The campus is pretty nice. Very well laid out...no hills! (Which made me very excited cause good ol' JMU is nothing but hills and many stairs and more hills with more stairs...needless to say we hate walking around on the campus sometimes.) And the students look really really cool.They're very liberal and not at all conservative. Rumor has it that they're pretty darn smart as well. Ok, so I was a bit concerned when I heard that the concert was in a chapel. That's just very weird considering some of the words that come out of the guys' mouths during their shows (esp. Mike). Jordan was like, ya, this is my second show with them in a church. Alrighty. I guess it's not as odd as I thought. The chapel was really nice. No air conditioning, but really nice. We scored some sweet spots in the balcony right over top of stage Murray. Geared with cameras, we were ready for a good findal show. While waiting, Jordan and I made freinds with the people next to us, who were from Pittsburgh. Then, Jordan started to feel a little ill so she and Amanda went down to the restroom just in case. While down there, they ran into Jian and had a nice little conversation. Back in the balcony, Atasi and I were chillin. After a while, Amanda and Jordan were back...and the lady came on to announce Fruvous. Boy, was there an ecstatic crowd at this show. And, the acoustics were sweet. It's been a while since the show, so I'll try and tell you everything that I can remember. Improvs/Banter: ~there was this group of students sitting next to us which caught a lot of flack during the concert. Jian was making fun of them cause they sat there only to see Murray's a$$ during the show. Then, after Pisco, Jian was saying that they were like the dancing flowers that you can buy. So, they played a good lil jam and the kids were dancing and stuff. It was funny. ~during Pisco this person had a fish on a stick and was running around the floor with it. Toward the end of the song, they were making it 'swim' across the front of the stage then threw it toward the guys. I'm thinking that there was some stuff written on the fish cause every once in a while one of the guys would pick it up during the show and read it or something ~Jian was wearing a shirt that says, "Guys are Great" ~Dave was looking as good as ever. Everyone was commenting on how good he looked. Awww yeah. ~If Jordan's camera actually worked, I would've gotten some great pics of the lads...at one point Jian slapped his butt toward the students sitting next to us. ~During Disco, Murray definitely rocked the house. As usual, Murray gave Mike the wonderful symbol of the birdie. At which point, Mike bent over. Very nice image. ~GEH...Mike was awesome. "I see dead people." ~Their closing song, The Drinking Song, was great. Everyone was swaying and singing. Gradually, the guys dropped out and just let the crowd sing and it was just beautiful. The acoustics in that church were just brilliant. I'm guessing that it's quite alright to have a concert in a church. I totally enjoyed myself at the concert even though we were dripping with sweat at the end of the night. After the concert, we got pics with Mike, Dave, and Murray. Oh, thanks to Murray for being such a good sport about the whole picture thing. ;-) Our friend really appreciated it. I definitely look forward to hearing Dave's solo cd. ...and, hopefully, the guys will be back on tour...after their much needed break, of course. Get lots of rest, guys!

And labelling things or people *really* doesn't apply to the hippie ethos.
