I sat through the entire first song thinking, "Certainly that's not his 
*real* voice, is it?"  Once I dealt with the fact that it was, I really 
enjoyed him.  His stories were probably the best part of the opener.

Wouldn't that be a sight?  I'm with you and Megan on this one!

Just remember: *you* brought it up!  I wasn't going to tell...

OK, so will *someone* please tell them before the Taft show that they're 
getting married so we can hear it then?

I definitely enjoyed the second half more than the first...all of the songs 
from the first set hit me the wrong way and I was incredibly sad.  However, 
after joking with my friends during intermission, taking a bathroom break 
(*I* didn't hear any great stories in there), finding out that Brian 
(non-listie friend) was truly enjoying his first OtR concert, and getting the 
chance to sit by and flirt with Dave LaBruyere (ok, so maybe I was only 
flirting in my head) the second set was much more enjoyable for me.  Isn't it 
amazing how you can hear the same songs over and over and yet you can still 
get something new from them each time?
