Collective Soul!

I have to admit, I am obsessed. Pete surprised me and got me tickets to see my favorite band, Collective Soul. They played in a really small venue at a casino in Oroville. It was so much fun to see them in such a small setting. I fell in love with their music my senior year in high school, (sigh) so long ago in 1994. And now seeing them live has made me even more of a fan. Maybe, just a little bit obsessed. But, I cant help it. They are awesome. Thanks Pete, for such a great night and memory!

Pete and I snuck down a back staircase and watched as the roadies loaded the guitars into a truck. There was a limo Suburban waiting for the band and we could see their drinks sitting on a table. We waited for a minute and then went out to see if we could meet them. A couple of the roadies came back out, saw us and then reported us to their tour manager. We were quickly escorted out of the area, but not before we saw their bass player Will Turpin on the phone right by us. I got in a pic of their guitar cases!

We weren't supposed to take any pictures, so I had to take all of them sneaky without a flash. They didn't turn out too bad.
