..that Daughtry was awesome. Jenn and I spent an amount that we agreed to never mention again on VIP tickets for the Daughtry show last Tuesday. We were supposed to be there at 4 to watch soundcheck and do the meet & greet. We got there at 4, and then stood in line until 5:30. It was an hour and a half before we got our VIP passes. Get this, they let us in to get those, and then we got back in line outside, in the rain. It was sprinkling for a large part of the time we spent standing in line. They let us in for soundcheck and the meet & greet. Jenn and I stood in the back; not trying to get pushed around with all the cougars that were there. Thanks to this, we ended up near the front of the line when we had to go back outside. The meet & greet was pretty awesome. I got hugs from 3 of the guys, Chris included. He also told me that he had been reading my Twitter earlier. How cool is that? I tried to use that to my advantage, tweeting later asking him to play "Learn My Lesson," but it didn't work. Jenn and I had our picture made together, so they let us take two. The second one, we all did something goofy, except Jenn cuz she hadn't heard. Both pictures turned out awesome and are on my Facebook. Then we got back in line outside. When they finally let us in for the show, we were right up front. There were two people between me and the stage. It took forever for the opening act to come out, and when he finally did, I wasn't impressed. By that time we were all hot and miserable. A girl had passed out, and the security guard had lifted her over the metal bar like it was nothing. She came back later and was fine, but it was a little scary. After that, they started handing out water. Daughtry finally came on around 9pm. At that point Jenn and I had been on our feet for five hours. The pain all but went away when they started playing. I didn't care about my feet anymore. I was just so excited to be that close to the stage. They played pretty much every song I love, with the exception of "Learn My Lesson" and "Used To". Can't say I was disappointed at all. I tweeted the set list, and I'll put it below for anyone who cares. Even Chris appreciated how hot it was in there. He kept spraying the crowd with water, which felt amazing. I've never been so hot in my life, but it was totally worth it. The cougars in that place were crazy. In true 'Kelsey and Jenn' style, we mocked them and laughed hysterically. All said and done, it was a great night, and I'm so glad we did it. Would never go see them or anyone in a venue like that again, but it was fun. Hopefully the next time they come to Nashville, we'll get to see them at a venue with seats! After about 7 hours straight on my feet, I have never been so happy to see my bed.

It sounds like you had a great time. Where did they play at? Sounds like it was hotter than when we saw Kenny at LP Field last summer. And how cool that he read your twitter?
It was at this little hole in the wall place called The Mercy Lounge/CAnnery Ballroom. Down by the meth clinic. Great part of town. /sarcasm Yea, the twitter thing pretty much made my life. And yes, it was much hotter. It was the body heat of 1000 people being crammed into this place. Gross!
