THE SHOW

Butch Walker was OK.

Avril did an amazing job of performing! Compared to the crowd on Avril's first tour, and then this tour, there were A LOT more people at her first tour. I had some kickass reserved seats...lowest level, first section on the left-side of the stage and I could see perfectly. I was so fucken close to her. On both sides of the stage there's these extended parts of the stamd and a ramp on each side where she cam walk up and get closer to the audience on the sides. It was sooooooo great!!! Yup, she sang a full song on the left-side of the stage, which was "Tomorrow", she did sang that same song on her first tour on the left-side. lol It was just really cool to see Avril like about 20 ft. from me. I started to take a lot of pics when she was on my side for the show...hehe I saw her perfectly and I'm sure she saw me. When the song "My Happy Ending" started this bastard parent and their bastard kids stood up the rest of the entire show. I thought that was EXTREMELY rude, BUT thank god there was a few empty seats on the left side of me which gave me the same view in stuff, except with out these rude people standing up. Avril did cute hand gestures during the show lol. She waved and talked to the audience a lot. I enjoyed the WHOLE show, EVERY single song, ecsp. the ones on the piano and the guitar! It was great when she had her little devil horns on when she played the drums.

It was also pretty neat to see production in the works. Since I was on the side of the stage I could see everything going on behind the "Bonez World Tour- Eyes 2004" banner and I even saw Avril before the curtain even dropped.

Avril was wearing jeans, converse shoes, a white sparkly belt, and a "I Love Mr. Clean" t-shirt.

Avril did the entire setlist, except "Naked" and "Fall To Pieces."

AFTER THE SHOW

Well, I waited around for a little bit and it was not obvious where she'd even come out of because in fact after I waited a lil' while I ran into a Security Guard and they said they have Underground parking and once Avril in done on-stage she goes and gets on her bus right away. Pretty much impossible to meet Avril here. It sucks cause at other shows there was underground and she'd come out and sign. URGH. I hope atleast some day I meet her. I have autographs of her, but never have met her before. A signed ticket stub from security they got me at a radio show and when Avril returned me my "Let Go" personalized signed insert.
