^I love delightfully creepy venues! We went to Michigan last weekend to see 2 SP shows and both venues were awesome. The first one was in Detroit and it was an older venue with wood paneling on 3 levels..like a concert hall. The second was in Grand Rapids and that venue was larger and more modern. The bar stretched the whole back end of the venue and the merch booth was around the corner. But it was a great spot to view the show and harrass G! (Mine and Dave's favorite pastime).

We went to both VIP Sessions for these shows, and let me tell you, they ROCKED!!! :rock: Emma, Mark, and Shim came out and talked and told stories. It was really intimate and casual. Who else does this??? What a treat!! They played some songs live that they don't normally play, including Asshole Father!!!

Cool! Maybe I can play the "it's my birthday" card and get him to play The Pretender or Healing Now... :biggrin:

Cassie - you're right about the location of the merch table at the Ritz:
they could've found a better set-up, no doubt about that!

I have been to three Sick Puppies shows this year, which I never imagined I'd be able to do.

The first one was was at Fete in Providence. At the end of this show, my mom and a couple caught a drumstick at the same time. They were both holding on to it for a while, and my mom asked if she could give it to me. The couple agreed and let me have it, and we gave them a guitar pick my friend had caught in return. I thought it was super nice of them. I gave them each a big hug and the drumstick is currently hanging on my wall. Funny thing- I ran into them again at last night's show and once again told them how much I appreciated them giving me the drum stick!

The second show was in Lowell. They were only doing backup for Sammy Hagar (who my mom loves, so she was ecstatic that two of her favorite bands were playing), and even though it was only a half hour show it was still pretty awesome and worth it.

Last night's show at Mohegan Sun...oh man. I had a VIP ticket, and the VIP session alone was worth it. Because the Wolf Den is open so that anybody in the casino could see, we went down into the dressing room. It was so small and intimate, it was the best concert experience I've had yet (And that is saying something considering how good SP shows always are!). After Shim sat down he said he saw me outside during the sound check. XD The phone of one of the guy's working with them rang during the performance, and Shim kept harassing him about it. It was pretty funny. After one song he said something like, "My phone just vibrated. That's how you are supposed to do it!"

After the acoustic set, my parents and I got a family picture with the band before getting our individual pictures. My mom told Shim that I needed a hug (It's been a goal of mine to get a hug from the band but I tend to get really shy...), so Shim gave me the biggest hug ever. My mom wanted it on picture, but the person taking the pictures missed it, so he did it again for the camera. <3

Unfortunately, Mohegan Sun wouldn't allow us to stay in the Wolf Den since the show is free and we had to get back in line. But the GOOD thing is that despite being towards the end, we still got up front cause most people were sitting down before the concert!

After all these shows and after experiencing that VIP package, I'm going to be going through SP concert withdrawals until the next VIP show I can attend. x.x

From us to you, do whatever the hell you wanna do with your entire life and just make sure it works for you." -Shim Moore before performing Maybe.

Glad you had a good time! Hmm, the venues are supposed to let the VIP people back in the line at the FRONT...Oh well, at least you still got a good spot. Yea, I really liked the intimacy of the VIP (although I TRIED to get him to play The Pretender and he wouldn't. Brat :tongue: )

I saw them the night before up in Oneonta. We helped G out a bit when we got there because everything was running a bit late. They had this row of seats right up against stage that we sat in as a joke. Emma was laughing at us because literally our feet were up on the stage. I'm kinda sad they moved them before the show started. Haha. Anyway, we gave Shim his birthday presents... He was so happy. (Dana and I got him the last two seasons of The Office on DVD cuz he hasn't seen them yet...) The acoustic set was pretty cool. Only three songs though because there's always a time crunch. They let all the VIP's sit in the seats behind the pit and relax until doors. The band had aabout five minutes to spare so D and I got to chit chat with Emma for a few about Orphan Black :biggrin:

A lot of the time I seem to just not be too crazy about the opening band, but our merch was right next to a local band called Hello, Seattle. We talked to them a little bit before their set and after but MAN, they were great. Female lead singer, female guitar player. I loved their sound AND the covers they did (No Doubt "Spiderwebs" and Alanis "You Oughta Know") Anyone who is interested should DEFINITELY check them out...

The pups were great as always. They had a bit of technical difficulties so Shim had to fill in the gaps a bit with talking. The signing was quick and pretty well organized. Everyone was great. There were lots of hugs before they left, since I probably won't see them again til after the holidays :cry: It was definitely one of my favorite shows. Great crowd, lots of energy, the venue was a cool set up and the employees and owner were SUPER nice. He kept saying hi. Asked us about how we became ambassadors, shook our hands when we left... I would definitely go see a show there again.

I don't know what is planned for next year, but the VIP Sessions were extended recently for all headlining (non special engagement, like festivals) thru the rest of the year. You can see what shows will have them here:

The 21+ is venue controlled unfortunately so you have to watch out for that. While the VIP Session is a separate purchase, it does require that the purchaser have a ticket to the concert as well.

The crew that handles everything on the road are top notch and do everything they can to make sure that everything goes as best it can! So while we all love the band, lets not forget to thank the rest of the crew as well (even if they do forget to put their phone on vibrate). :cool:
