 Post subject: The Dallas Show: A Bittersweet Night.Posted: Wed Nov 09, 2005 11:15 am 
Sweet: So I left school at 12:15 for a "dentist appointment", and 3 short hours later, I was waiting in line at the venue. There were only about 10-15 people standing in front of me. Yes. I conversed with a few fellow Eisley fans and waited and waited. So finally after I got in, I rushed to get a decent spot. I was front and center and two people back from the front. Pretty decent if I say so myself. Augustana(sp?) was great. I had a blast listening to them. Then after a little more waiting, Eisley came out. Everybody went nuts... it was pertty cool. They had a great set. I got to hear Many Funerals again. I'm loving that song. Everyone sang Happy Birthday to Chauntelle and then the band silly stringed her bigtime. Hilarious. Then, Switchfoot. Bam. Now I know what Boyd was talking about when he kept saying "wall of sound". They also had a great set. They were really funny and played all these fun little games. Good times. After an encore, I searched out the birthday girl and gave her a birthday card before I had to head out. What a wonderful night. Bitter: Still feeling the good vibes from the show, I was walking back to my car, only to find that the window was smashed and everything was stolen. There was glass everywhere, my whole cd deck was gone, as were all my cds, and my backpack - which had 4 school issued textbooks - gone. Even my bag of toothpaste, deodorant, etc was stolen. My interior is pretty beat up, and there was a large concrete chunk still sitting in my backseat. I think i'm gonna keep it. Give it a name. Maybe Charles. ...but other than that, the show was amazing. An awesome lineup. Boyd was as cool as always. Good show, good show. Cheerio, Cheerio. |

I'm so sorry to hear about your car. Deep Ellum can really suck sometimes. I'm glad you still had a good time at the show though.  _________________ - Megan

man that sucks clark. where did you park? i was hoping stupid stuff like that was over and done with in deep ellum since there's quite a bit more police now then there use to be. I walked by the tearoom on my way to get something to eat and looked for you and others (i didn't have a ticket). I saw BK and talked with him for a bit as well as kylerossp _________________ "Religions have started on lesser revelations" - investor on MarketWatch.com |

what a drag, so sorry, man. I leave nothing in plain sight in my car...so far I've been fortunate *knocks on wood*, especially considering how much I go down to Deep Ellum. Eisley rocked! From the opener Head Against The Sky to the great new song at the end - LOVED Many Funerals! - It brought a smile to my face. The silly string was a nice touch (and funny). From my spot I couldn't see Garron very much (he was standing behind Sherri), so I still haven't really seen him live. Hadn't seen or heard Augustana before. They were decent. Switchfoot did put on a good show with nice lighting. Not a fan, but they held my attention. Crowd sang along and clapped along at all the right times. Fun night....

Thanks folks. Yeah, that's what so weird... I didn't leave anything of value in sight. I guess someone just decided to go treasure hunting. And yeah, I saw BK as well. Though he was a little ways back in the line. I guess I just missed ya. Shucks. Heh, so the thief took all my cd's... but left one - Eisley. Still in it's case.

Dude Clark, I feel so bad for you man, especially since I met you that night. I just told my g/f (you met her too) and she feels so bad. At least you left with your sweet hat. I'm glad you were able to get your card to Chauntelle. |

Deep Ellum does kinda suck. you should name the hunk of concrete "Ellum" or "Chauntelle" cause it was Chauntelle's birthday. _________________

Jeez! Some friends of mine (forumers, also) had their car broken into during an Eisley show earlier this year. Suck! I'm sorry, that's so lame. I too have been smashed-and-grabbed. Except they had to run away before they kept anything. And it was also outside of my home. People really suck sometimes. _________________ My photography:www.jamiemphoto.com You can't spell awesome without emo...backwards! -Julie definingawesome (11:44:11 PM): Eisley shivers our timbers |

aw, sorry about that! I agree w/ the other people, Deep Ellum *is* awful. The friend I went with actually wouldn't let us leave until she found her mace! (I told her she was being paranoid, but to tell the truth, we were parked really close to the venue & while in line, I kept peeking over at my truck, just to make sure it was okay/still there) I'm kinda surprised that happened, though - I saw a police car drive by *at least* every 5 minutes. Bad luck! But hey, at least you got to see a great show, right? And nothing that got stolen was irreplaceable (unless that toothpaste had some great sentimental value to you, hehe.)
