Super Dave is the master, I am but a humble servant, I will try to live up. 
Here goes. 

We (GM, Queen jewels, Miss Fish and me-Shalovee) were higher then kites 
yesterday. After scrubbing, primping, painting, washing and spraying 
various parts we headed out to get tattoos. No not real, sillies, Henna 
one's. Jewels and I got the three on the album on our ankles and Geek 
got DustMite wacked on her chest. The tattoos were not to tie us to Steve, 
they were to tie us to this wonderful journey we were on and celebrate 
the glory of the tour. The magic that came by so many strangers who 
knew each other only by silly names converging and sharing a  super fun, 
geeked out, over the top, wild and fun experience. The good company, the 
silly antics, the staying up all night, taking over a restaurant, 
Laughing til we pee and basically had one hellofa faboo love in. We lived 
out a lifetime in one day and although the Mites will fade, our memories 
will not. And we will have pictures to remind us. THAT is why we got 
them. 

When done we headed to the Mercury. It was to early to go in so we 
stayed outside and visited. Steve walks out and goes down the street. Just 
that was nice. Soon enough he comes back and sees Tracy (Pleyton) and 
recognized her from yesterday. So he walks over and then notices Geek. 
He says hello and asks how we are and then notices MissFishes shirt. 
She painted a Wacked on it with FISH written underneath. He exclaims 
"Are you Miss Fish"? and she beamed. I could have just floated away for 
her, I was so happy. Geek then introduces us all and chit chat ensued. 
We gave him two cards, one was a gold fish wearing goggles saying "think 
outside the bowl" and another with a turtle butt saying "We are behind 
you" (Thank your besnitchy, lil Kris and pnkflyngv) I asked him "are 
you scared?" and he said no he wasn't. I wasn't expecting that answer. I 
said "Really? not nervous?" he tells me no and describes several snafus 
with the show. Video were supposed to be produced to run behind him on 
the screen but that was not able to get done properly or at all. He 
listed a few other things and I told him that it would be ok, he could 
stand there and gargle and we would enjoy it. I then told him I flew in 
from Oregon that morning to see him to which his eyes flipped open in 
amazement. He told me I was crazy (God bless him for just finding this 
out) and that he would be coming to me soon. I told him I knew that and I 
would be there too, but he only has a first show one time. He thanked 
me. He then began to stammer around, searching for a way to give back 
to us. HIM give to US. (Hunny, that's what you do.) He told us I want to 
give you all t-shirts. VERY nice of him. Mucho. He then noticed Geeks 
henna Tat and exclaimed "What is on your chest?!" To which something 
clever and witty should have flowed from her lips such as...."that's where 
I keep my boobs Steve...Or It is frosting Steve or some other such wittiness." 
What she said, over and over and over was "It isn't REAL! It isn't REAL! "  
We wrote our names down for him and after a little more chit chat he went inside. 

We then geeked out right there on the pavement, all of us dying in our 
own dork ecstasy. It was actually a blessing because after meeting 
STEVE, he then became Steve. And Steve isn't scary. Steve is a real guy 
and after that, I had no problem talking to Steve with out fear and 
shaking. 

We now go inside. After a lot of standing around, the warm up band did 
the voodoo that they do so well and left the stage. We all then go 
stand right up front. By up front I mean UP FRONT. I was leaning against 
the monitor. He comes to set up and is kneeling down plugging things in 
and Tracy clicks a picture. He looks up and makes a face saying 
sarcastically "that's a great picture" To which I mocked back 
"ahhhhhh-tracktive". He laid down several song lists around the stage. I promptly took 
notes of the song order and it was:
WIDOS
>1
Troposphere
Superstrings
Henry Krinkles
stick around
MLM
Dustmites
To which when he left the stage I took the playlist and wrote:
9. Mantain
and replaced it. He discovered this about fourth song in and smiled big 
while shaking his head. Good sport. He really is a good sport, even if 
he didn't play it

He was wearing a green shirt (no dustmite) and green cargo pants. Over 
it he wore a UberNeat spacesuit complete with a dustmite on it.  His 
beard is scraggly and his hair is growing back. Waaaaay back. HaHaHa! He 
has a lightning bolt tattoo on his right inside forearm. I am not a lover 
of Tattoos but this was nice. Lightning bolt. Power. Force. I get it. 

As promised Geek and I called Steph and Sara and for the first song, I 
held that phone high into the air and let Steve sing right to them. For 
the rest of the show I laid the phone down on the monitor and Sara 
heard the whole thing from afar. Please Sara, don't send flowers, I prefer 
jewelry. ;)

The mints all wore the same but Jason (the drummer-who needs a fan club 
his own self, he is SO GOOD) wore a little white mask and another guy 
wore a white bowl upside down on his head. Good stuff. He told us "we 
are in disguise. We kinda think we are Devo" It started with a slide show 
from Paul and it was just nice to have Paul be a part of it. It just 
wouldn't have been right without Paul-ya' Know? Then Steve just rocked 
our socks right off. There were glitches-sure. There were some technical 
difficulties but all in all folks, his show is good. Good indeed. I 
would have crawled on my hands and knees from Oregon to Texas to see this 
show. As time goes by and he can do more work on it, get a little more 
comfortable in his skin, work out the glitches and it will be so 
fantastic. Your first time is a learning experience and I am looking forward 
to comparing the Seattle show and the Portland show to this one. 
Geek did a better job then I watching the screen behind Steve so I have 
not much to add except during WIDOS he did not play the video but all 
the stuff that was edited out. Instead of the screen running the film 
from a projector (Or however he would have run it) he ran it straight 
from his camcorder. Now that was nice. He even had a close up of the devil 
punching him out. Tonight I will watch it more carefully. He juggled 
fire to which I missed completely, I just couldn't drag my eyes from his 
face (which BTW is VERY descriptive when he sings. He really crawled 
into a couple of the songs and lived them out for us to see. Such complete 
abandon into Dustmites it took my breath away. Took. It. Away) At one 
point Steve pointed out "This is part rock show, part home movies, 
Actually, it is a lot like that" At one point in the show stars lit up the 
room. Steve lit up and pointed it all out for us. Steve looked over his 
shoulders a lot to see the screen behind him and how it was working. It 
worked great. The show ended all too quickly. 8 songs just flew by. 
Check for pictures in the photo section. 

Before the show, Jewels and I went to talk to him and she got a couple 
things signed and I asked him if he was planning on going out east. His 
answer? Yes he was. I asked him what the shirt says in MLM and he said 
(I am going to slay the spelling here) Mulnum enParvo which means Much 
from little. Very nice. He posed for some pictures which did not turn 
out from Jewels camera but tracy did get some candid shots so I pray 
that those indeed did come out. 

After the concert he came out to sign stuff for us and I handed him my 
shirt. he wrote on it Shalovee, how can I think you?? Love Steve and 
drew a paw print and a dustmite. He then asked, "I will see you in 
Portland?" I said, you will see me tomorrow, then Seattle then Portland. He 
reached his hand out and took mine. Shook it and then rested his forehead 
on my hand. I assume in thanks. That's what I felt. I felt thanked. You 
are welcome Steve, very welcome. And here I say to Steve's mom, "Thanks 
for teaching your boy to share" {S}

I must end this now if you all want pictures tonight of last nights 
show. because I do not have anymore time I will list some random quotes 
from our trip last night. You can go to Paulfordrocks later and get the 
whole scoop on all the other stuff we did later. Enjoy:

"Dave and his two things"

"this is oddly thrilling"

"Look shal a bug!! What's the plate say?"

"Let's collect a vial. Shal, got your water bottle?"

His hands are so meaty"

Do not touch the godlet"

Do Texan Jews say "ya'll Hora now, ya' hear?"

"1...2...3... aaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

"Super Dave is 24 ct precious. Good people. He is so good, if I were to 
open a box of cereal, I would find him there."

"Is that a tazer?" 
"I don't have bolt cutters"

"We are sooooo here!"

"this doesn't suck. This really, really doesn't suck!"

"I have partied my ass off with Manilow, that counts for 
something-right?"

"Key check!"

"the thing with the thing....."

Hope you all enjoyed this write up!
