Recap:  My Mom went to the show with me because none of my friends were able to.  She ended up loving Brett Dennen who was the first opener because he didn’t wear shoes on stage.  Ben Folds also opened and the only photo I took of him was the crazy one below where he looks like he might actually be part butterfly.  This was a funny show, with John joking with one of his guitarists about how sometimes he throws picks at people and they don’t know where they landed, but they ended up sticking to their foreheads because they are sweaty. (See photo below of demonstration)

Recap: This show was not originally planned, but when another friend expressed interest in going, it became “Hey Katie will probably go with you” and so I did!  Since it was last minute we didn’t make any ADA plans but the person letting us in at the door grabbed me and escorted me to the section. My 2 friends I was with wanted to dance and were told they were not allowed to stand in the ADA area so they went off to another area and just came back to check on me here and there.  I didn’t bring my camera in at all for this one and I think at the time I may have had 1 awful cell phone photo that is now long gone! The Avalon has since become the House of Blues Boston.
