Evanescence, Eagles Ballroom, Oct 21

Had to get there early enough for the meet and greet with the band. I joined a group of about 20 near the merch booth.   There's no tour books available for them to sign.  So I ended up buying their deluxe cd/dvd combo with bonus tracks on them.  Went on a splurge and bought the other Cd's also. They last longer than a drink for the same price!

Our group was led to a side room. Had to form a single file line around the room.  The band showed up and greeted us one at a time to chat. Mentioned that I seen them performed in Rock in Rio on youtube and it convinced me to see them.  They are all friendly and signed their part of the group photo in the case.  They also did a quick group picture with each of us.  (note:my pic turned out blurry)
The better pic is at http://www.therave.com/concert_picture_gallery.asp?view=pic&id=4466&pic=143&of=147


The Rave did have their own cameraman taking pictures too. Should be posted shortly on http://www.therave.com/concert_picture_gallery.asp?view=event&id=4466

They have incredible sound! I was too busy enjoying the concert to get any more video!  There's lots more if you do a search...


After the concert, on our way out, they were having the Pauly D (from Jersey Shore) DJ club event in the Rave Hall beneath the Eagles Ballroom. There was a guy on a megaphone saying that it's free to get inside.  I took a quick look.  More like a Big Night Club! Pauly D was not there yet. Got what I could before leaving...

Rock and Jock Flyaway, Fox Harbor, October 13th

The other day, when Razor was announcing on the radio, to text to qualify for the Rock and Jock Flyaway,  I thought, why not and texted.  a few weeks later, I got a text to show up at the Fox Harbor Pub and Grill in East Green Bay.  

When I got there, found Borna and Roxanne setting up their table and equipment for the remote. They welcomed me into the place.  I ended up finding a table on the other side of the building to watch the Brewers play the Cardinals in NLCS Game 4.  

During commercial breaks, heard Borna speaking about qualifiying in house for the Razor Rock and Jock Flyaway and picking out entries. Realized that I already qualified via text earlier.  Later, I went up and showed my text message Borna.  He gave me some grief about me winning this prize on top of being Extreme Razor Fan! I mentioned that they can always say "No" to me winning again! Roxanne found my number on the sheet and Borna gave me the raffle ticket. Since the place was packed, I had to get back to my table seat quick  before somebody else to watch the rest of the game.

Side note of the Miller Girls were roaming around the place doing the Miller Lite Promo. I did a little small talk with them and mentioned about getting a picture.  Only one picture turned out.  But, I was having fun!

When the game was over with the Brewers winning Game 4 of NLCS, Borna annonced that he's drawing ten raffle tickets.  The holder of those tickets get to come to the front with the Razor Staff and Miller Lite Girls.  He was calling off numbers, and people started making their way to the front.  When he drew the last number, it matched my ticket!   I started making my way to the front.  Borna seen me with a surprised reaction.  Roxanne gave me a Razor T-shirt and yelled "Calenberg!!!"  I was laughing and shrugging my shoulders while joining the other 9 people up front.  

Since Borna called out the 10 finalists, they put the numbers in the small box again to shake up and draw again.  Each number elimated one of the finalists at a time.  I was still standing with my ticket, until they drew the 5th number for elimination.  While I was getting out of the final group, Borna mentioned to the crowd that don't feel sorry for him, since he's the Extreme Razor Fan!  I was still laughing at the whole thing!

They narrowed down to 3, then there were 2. Borna mentioned that the next elimination will get a pair a tickets for the Packers against the Rams game this weekend.  The other qualifier wins the half carat diamond ring, airfare, hotel, and pair of  tickets to the Packers playing the Chiefs in Kansas City, Missouri in December. 

Congrats to the winner!  (I'll try to sleep now!)
