Steve was cool. The goofy faces he pulls are just too fast for anyone I know to get a pic without really good timing. He has a tatoo on his right arm that's the outline of lightning. He also has a dimple on his left cheek. (face) The crowd absolutely loved him. Comparatively, the band before him was "much less loved."
He played to the audience totally. He was energetic and we all responded to it. About half of us were singing to the lyrics with him. (not that you could have heard any of us) He applauded the audience, saying something like, "Lets hear it for the fans." He got hyper with the guitar during the more energetic time in his songs. He even broke a string on his accoustic guitar, so we got to hear a normally accoustic song on his axe. He seemed really energetic on stage, but afterward he was
totally beat.
I don't remember the name of that doll Steve has (it's brown with big teeth, and it's from Japan. EDIT: Domokun), but another fan brought one and Steve took it and sang to it on stage. (then he gave it back) Steve autographed the doll too. He's really nice to us "mighty little fans" (even if we bug him) While I was there, I met 2 new friends, (one of which is the gal who brought the doll) whom I hope to hang out with again.
Some jerk was there spouting off stuff about Blue's Clues (wich seemed to kinda bum out Steve), but Steve was a good sport about it. The guy wasn't heckling, he was trying to be cute. As far as I have heard Steve hates it when people go to his concerts just because he was on Blue's Clues. He hopes that people will go because his music is good.
My ears were ringing afterward but it was so worth it. I was there cause the music is cool. If I didn't like the music, I wouldn't have gone.
3 things have to "make it" for me to like the music.
1. I gotta understand the lyrics.
2. I gotta understand the message.
3. I gotta like the message and the lyrics.
Steve hits all 3 and then some. I love his sense of humor. It's more than a triple play. He hits it out of the ballpark.
The Mints played after him. They're quite good. I don't get it like I get Steve, but it was good.
Afterward he autographed stuff. I got a CD. He autographed the front, the insert and the CD it's self. (He's so patient and cool with us fans.)
Steve was even nice enough for me to get a pic of him and me. (three, actually, cause the guy who took our pic couldn't see, cause of how dark it was, and kept cutting things off.) But it was totally cool. I tried to hang out with him afterward, but he was too tired. (I'm sure he was just blowing me off cause he didn't want fans hanging around asking stupid questions.) But it was cool just to be there.
As far as I know, the posters sold out in SD.
My camera does 15 sec quicktime movies (without sound unfortunately) but I got a couple of him dancing a bit on stage.
