The Moon 5/17/04

This was one of if not the best shows from Todd I have been to! The Moon is a great place. The band had plenty of room and made the best of it. The sets were pretty much like the other shows, the sound was clean and the lighting was made for this show, all of the band members had thier own back drop which made this concert a pleasure to watch as well. Their were a couple of small technical problems, but they were hard to notice. During the encore, some idiot got on stage and offered Todd a peach..orange or something. The tour mgr., who looks alot like Al Frankin, quickly escorted the fruit loop off of the stage.

Now I would like to tell you about the VIP experance. About six or eight of us were escorted by the club mgr to the club owners house. They were having a dinner party so we were invited to help ourselves to food as well as drinks at the open bar. Scott Carlson (club owner) wanted to make sure we had a good time and really gave us the VIP treatment. Todd soon joined us for pictures, autographs, and conversation. I really think he was having a good time with us, very acomidating. He signed a picture of he and Kasim from the seventies. He took one look at the picture and said "my my, look at the little children". Kasim was taken back a little too when he signed the picture. Todd had a little red draw string bag that contained some numbers. He instructed us to saya number between 1 and 25. The person who guesses the numer has the option of sitting on stage for the show. After about three different guesses from all of us, he decided that the person who picked 3 was the winner. The actual number was twelve, but Todd said that "one plus two equals three. I didn't when but my new friend from Jacksonville gave me her fron row seat! Fantastic night! Saw a great show, visited with Todd and made some new friends to boot! Folks, you have got to see this show.

All The Best,
