Hi Faith! You were right behind us : ) Great seats - and the stage lights
kept my feet warm! And I believe my ears have finally recovered!

Exactly. I was looking forward to hearing Give Me Strength with a hint of
If I'm Drowning. But I can't complain!
I just happened to be in Cinci for the weekend (boyfriend met hte parents
for the first time!), so a free Over the Rhine show was quite the
unexpected bonus!
It's always great to see Over the Rhine in front of a hometown crowd. I've
seen them 4 times now over the past month (is that excessive?!?), and this
show did not disappoint! Other notes, during Birds, Karin changed
"chocolate lab" to "weimaraner", she told the story of meeting her sister
prior to Anyway, and I believe her green t-shirt said "Property of the
Indians".

She made our night as well! She was taking pictures of the band, and the
crowd, with her imaginary chocolate chip cookie camera. I got a kiss on
the nose : ) Just the most adorable child imaginable! The girl's name was
Emma Rose (I believe). Her mom, Julia, is a lurker on the list, so if
you're reading this Julia, you should post! It's funny, I spoke with a
friend in Denver the next day. On Sat., his wife gave birth to a baby girl
"Emma Rose". Strange coincidence....

Jack was quite the King of Porno Guitar!

Again, the vibe was great. People dancing in the wings, kids running
about, fans in the crowd singing along, a cool late spring breeze in the
air. It kind of reminded me of their concert at the Cinci zoo many years
ago. Amazing.
