My best friend from kindergarden,Monica, and I decided to walk to the venue from far away - big mistake. I was wearing "fashion shoes" and by the time we got to the show I was in pain. The warehouse is a great place for a show...I remember Fran sang 'flowers in the window' as a new song...I was so desperate to save a part of the show to remember that I called my cell phone voice message centre and had half of "flowers in the window" recorded live as my message greeting...I had to erase it however when people stopped leaving messages. Monica will remember that I had to take a few tablets of pepto because large crowds cause me to have slight motion sickness...all things considered, once the show started I was cured of all my ailments. The band was magical and fantastic.
This was actually my third time seeing Travis, but a first for my friend, who was new to the band at the time. As always, the show was excellent. The audience was extremely loud, which even Fran noticed when his own singing was drowned out. I was right near the front, and I am always amazed by their energy, their sense of genuine enjoyment of performing, and their cohesiveness as a band. First rate!
