Title: Indianapolis review with pics!
Post by goober_1013 on Mar 14th, 2007, 12:36pm
Indianapolis, IN
Tuesday, March 13th, 2007

It's kinda long. . .

So. . .our day started off kinda slow. �Me, my sister Tiff and one of my best bud�s Stephanie headed out on our 3 hour journey to Indianapolis at 10 that morning. �Poor Stephanie, however, wasn�t prepared. . .she had no outfit to wear, shoes, belt, foundation, blush or nail polish so most of the morning was spent shopping, which I have absolutely no problem with. �Then she needed to get her oil changed and they said her transmission fluid needed to be changed as well so that took 45 minutes! �We actually didn�t get out on the road until 3:30 and we made it to our room about 6:30. �Just enough time to change and head back out again.

The Murat Theatre was beautiful. �Wish I had gotten some pics of it, but I really didn�t have the time. . .or so I thought. �I HAD to get me one of the Goo jackets and one for my new WOG buddy, Ashley. �I was scared there were gonna run out the medium by the time I got there, too! �But they had both sizes, wrist band and I got one of the autographed setlists. . .which I totally LURVE!

Augustana was the opening act. . .they were ok. �Of course I knew Boston and that was it. �They were really scruffy, had really long hair and wore really tight girly jeans. �Guess that�s the �in thing� for all the young bands now. . .

So now for the goo-d part. . .the Goo Goo Dolls! �Came out blaring Dizzy and were VERY talkative. . .first thing Rzeznik commented on was the weather. �I don�t know how warm it was in IN, but when we left KY it was 74 and sunny. �The weather was gorgeous all day. �He said that he got off the bus expecting it to be cold and it like �the first day of spring.� �Then he asked some people in the front if they were a couple and the guy said that they were married, he had proposed at one of their concerts in 2003. . .and he�s like, �aww. . .Are you pissed you ever heard our music now?� �He starts talking about the weather and the spring and how it�s romantic then goes back to the couple again. �He asks them if they feel like that and they say something else. . .then says how he was lucky and she was pretty and then kinda backed off and was like, �Don�t beat my ass!� �Now he says something about how couples have lists on who they can sleep with. �Like the guy is like, �I wanna sleep with Jennifer Aniston!� �and Rzeznik says his girlfriend won�t let him have a list. ��Cause I wanna f*** the red haired girl and the grocery store. . .the check out girl! �And she�s like, �They can�t be real people!�� �He paused a minute and said, �Ahh, f***her!�

Now that he�s gotten way off topic, he drifts back to the weather. �He compares IN to Buffalo saying, �Don�t enjoy it too much cuz winter is gonna come back and f*** you over one more time! �It�ll snow on the 4th of July!� �Now all this was said before they even played the next song which was Slide. . .

There was one thing that caught me off guard. �He said, �This next song I wrote about my hometown.� �And it was We�ll Be Here (When You�re Gone). ��The billionaire club keeps getting bigger and some people can�t even send their kids to college.� �Then he talks some politics and says, �We need to take it back, NOW.� �There was some more cursing thrown in there, but I can�t remember it all and am paraphrasing a lot. . .

Without You Here he introduced as, �our new single.�

At some point during the concert someone gave �em 2 boxes of girl scout cookies, Thin Mints, and had written on the bag to share. �He said, �Thanks, but they�re gonna be gone by the time I get to �em!� �He threw a box to Mike which he caught. . .and I noticed he has a buzz cut, very short. �It hurt my heart. �Then Rzeznik threw another box to the side of the stage and I don�t know who was going in for the catch, but he was like, �Not you, you�re Canadian, the only thing you can catch is a puck!�

No Naked and no Burnin� Up although we did get Smash.

We waited outside by the buses hoping to get some Bus!Love, but it didn�t happen. �They tricked us all! �The driver came out, got on the bus and left. �So everyone, which was about 15 of us, went to the front where there were more buses. �I could see inside the stage door and seen Rzeznik walking around in there so I still had hope. �We waited about another 30 minutes and some girls on the other side of the parking lot started screaming. �The bus pulled back up to the same spot on the side of the building and Goo booked it onto the bus and they took off.

Got lots-o-pics, but I'm just gonna post my favs. . .got some more another camera that i haven't even looked at yet so I might have some more later. . .

Ha ha.  I loved your review.  Sounds like you had a happy John.  I agree with his girlfriend though, you're not allowed to put normal people on your 'list'.

And the Canadian might have been the drum tech (Ha!  No love for the Canucks!  :D )

That was a GREAT review. I love when John is super talkative like that. He's so funny.

Your pictures are fantastic. I love the one with Robby running across stage...he's crystal clear but the background is blurred....very cool effect.

I agree with the girlfriend too. You can't have normal people on the list.

I think you've proven that Robby is the center of the galaxy and everything revolves around him...

Frigging cool picture.
