It took me a few days to get around to writing about one of the most memorable nights of my life. For that I apologize - it just took me that long to recover! WOW. Tom Petty, 4th row on the river in Cincinnati. I mean this guy alone is just about the biggest reason I wanted to play music when I was young. And it only took me this long to get around to seeing him live. And he was pretty much right in front of me. I debated if I should bring my vinyl records in to the show to hold up and try to get his attention. I was so freaking nervous too! Haha - but it was awesome when he looked my way and gave a nod (right at me of course) when I held up my Damn the Torpedoes record during Even The Losers. And then during Saving Grace when I held that vinyl up and got Mike Campbell's nod of approval that warranted a pick throw that woefully fell short by only an arms reach. AHHH! But he made sure to shield his eyes well enough to get a good look at the skinny kid with big hair and genuine vinyl records in the 4th row ;)
So yeah - what a night...YOU WRECK ME

I've never had a more amateur video moment than this.... As soon as he came close I almost dropped the camera.

Cool! It looks like you had a lot of fun!! ;)
You can die happy now. He is the best. When Nina and I saw him, I remember thinking, man the crowd loves him so much. He could have played three more songs with all the time he spent just walking the stage and getting applause. Looks like you and Dom had a great time.
Funny, you sound just like my friend who teared up during a song when we were in the front row inside the heart at U2 in 2001. I still make fun of him for that.
You didn't cry or anything, did you?
DUDE!!!
Now, I am even more excited to see him on Wednesday with my dad!! heck yes!!
Thanks for sharing the pics!!
God Bless,

Anyways, any word on the sex of the baby???
Hope you're having an amazing summer. Much love, be blessed!

i'm sad you boys are going to be in Richmond, VA in two days & i'm not going to be there... it's only a 3 hour drive from Virginia Beach....but as you know, gasoline prices are atrocious & i'm a poor college kid.
