Firstly, we saw Dennis Quaid in the balcony. And everyone around us was shouting at him,
Dennis! Dennis Quaid!
We love you, Dennis!
Rookie!!
I loved you in Frequency!! (the response from the crowd to this shout, "ooh, that's a great movie!")
And Mr. Quaid was incredibly nice about all the shouting. He waved and nodded and posed for pictures up on his balcony. Nice guy. Also, ridiculously attractive. And much younger looking than I had anticipated.
We were surrounded by hilarious people.
The kid who stroked my face a couple times, with a knowing grin on his face, like, I know I'm being creepy, but this is just a joke, so don't worry about it.
The married gay couple, one of which was so sweet and so elated to see 3EB and after the set was over said, Now we all just need to go home and have SEX!, and the other who was funny and kept insisting that that certainly was not Dennis Quaid, and who offered us beer then asked, oh, are you... M-O-R-M-O-N? Haha, yes, yes we are.
The really attractive kid with a charming smile who was at the concert by himself, but kept smirking at all the jokes that were being said by everyone around him.
Third Eye Blind began their set, and it was all joy and happiness despite the HEAT that was practically suffocating. Stephan Jenkins, the lead singer, has an incredible stage presence; being so personable but so cool at the same time. They started with Thanks A Lot, and things just got better and better, culminating at Motorcycle Drive By (my favorite), and encoring with Semi-Charmed Life, which had the entire crowd jumping.
The drummer had a 5 minute solo in the middle of the show, and it was one of the coolest things I've ever seen. His drum set must be amplified somehow because the floor was just shaking. I hope someone filmed that and puts it on YouTube, because, holy crap. Awesome. Just awesome.
Anyway, all of this just to say... Please look up Third Eye Blind if you're not a fan already. I can't even.... Just do it, now.
