Joes Bar Review by Sara

Hey Guys sorry its taken so long but between being sick, catching up on school and sarting a new work schedul its been kinda crazy around here!

On Sat. morning I woke up felling sick w/a head cold but I told myself I was going no matter what! I meet up with Roni in Elgin and headed up to Waukegan to meet up with Maverick, BrYan. It was nice to finally meet some new faces from the fan club! We headed into downtown to try and find Joe's Bar which we did quite well! We even beat Stella on the Pink Moped thingy! I got my picture and had her sign my scrapbook thing I got off ebay and the pic I bought off her website. She was nice as usual! It was over so fast! Then we wated and got a group pick that some have already put up. That was fun and my cheeks hurt so bad! Plus I couldn't see either!

We headed back in and listend to the opening act which is from Texas. GodBless Texas can tell you more about them! Craig bougth me a drink and we won't get into the name of the drink here. It was good, not to bad. Then we headed up twards the front of the stage and found Kill was already there! Dang that girl is fast! Alot of people bad mouthed us, but we had seats saved already b/f they got there. They are just mad they didn't get to go see our girl!

Ran came on stage finally! She started with What about Georgia! I love that song live! Mark can gove yout he set list! Some stage guy gave the set list that Aden was going ot give ot me to some other chick I also lived Gun Powder and Lead! That song better be released as a single! I can't wiat to hear it on cd so I can understand all the words! She sang some other new ones to that were just as awsome!

After the set we waited by the stage and I got Scotty Wray to sign a little card thing for me! Then we headed back to the merch booth and spotted Bev and talked to her for awhile. She is so sweet. Ran is so Lucky to have a mom like her! Then I ended up being the picture taker for everyone who got a pic with Bev. I didn't get one I was last in line and she had ot go. But she did remember me from the Fan Club party and and said hey girl and how are you doing! Can't believe she remembered me. I told her my mom was coming to the show Sunday night.

After talking and saying our good byes to everyone we headed back to were we parked. We saw a lot of people standing in line and thought the car would be on the other side of them but all the cars that were there with us were gone! We had gotten towed! so we tried to find out were the car was towed to and they said to go to division st. He said go that way and its 5 mins. In my head I was going your 5 mins. in Chicago or a normal 5 mins! So me, Mav and Roni start waliking that way, and find that its kinda like a back alley with some speeding cars. We walk threw some garbage cans adn into a Mobile gas station. Go in and we find out we are close to were we are supposed to be. So we head out and start walking again. We find the place and get the car out! Cost a $150. That is highway robbery! After Roni went back and picked it up we headed back to the hotel room. Looked up the results from the race and who made the chase! I am proud to say that, Harvick, Dale Jr, and Kasey made the chase! Then it was lights out!

I will get night 2 review up later. I have to watch the nascar drivers on Regis and Kelly.
