Yeni..... That was a scorcher with the sun at our backs as it went down. Black TW Tour shirts of high quality material, didn't help us much either. LOL
A few memorable things about the adventure, beside the awesome music and performance TW put on that evening....
1) I had just got off bed rest a couple days prior from a heart attack and 3 operations with 4 stints installed 3 weeks past. I didn't know if I was going to make this show or not. A friend who was a complete Halestorm fanatic, flew in to join me from NOLA the day before, and drive us to the show a few hundred miles away. We left early AM day of, arrived at the venue at 3pm, managed to get on the Rail smack dab in front of Ale. Sick! I left that spot once to get something to drink, use the facilities, and get some merch. Stood at the Rail until Halestorm was over and got to our room at midnight. I stood for 9 hours, after not standing for more than 30 mins for a month. I almost didn't make it back to car from the stage. It kicked my butt. I would do it all over again tho. It was amazing.
2) I met Yeni in front of the stage before The girls started. He seen us at the rail, and approached us to introduce himself. I thought the world of that, and of him for doing such. I knew I chose the right band to support, and that only enforced that decision. the community at large is just as important to me, as I am always full throttle when I stand behind something I believe in. I feel it in my bones how much I believe in TW organization. Thank you Yeni, you really don't know just how much that simple gesture affected me as a whole.
3) I decided to record the show as my friend (Keith) was going to stream it. He had asked that I take pictures of them since he couldn't, so I didn't record Enter Sandman. But I got some really cool pictures. I made a video and shared it on my YT chan. Both our links are above as well.
4) We met one of Lzzy Hales friends (the bands personal chef) and he joined us at the rail. Lzzy & Joe was constantly in our face the whole show, reaching over to high five and what not for almost 2 hours. After, Arejay came over and shook all our hands, then gave us some show stuffs.
