7/30/2005: Chronicle Pavilion - Concord, CA (review)

Yep! I met you Bianca.  You were pretty cool.  I was pretty tired.  At the station I thought you were a nessaholic or fan but was not sure (I've seen your pics here.)  Then on the train you came up to me.  It was very cool to meet you.  I should have given you my number for when you were in town, but I was just thinking about getting home for sleep. :razz:

Did anyone get a chance to see the band that opened before Vanessa, Alan Smithee?  They are a favorite local band of mine and I wondered what everyone thought of them.

Hey JJ! I didn't see them. They weren't there or I totally missed it. Which I guess is possible because I was getting drinks.  :wink:

Ah man, I really want to find someone who saw them....and I know they were there...at least according to them.

I was planning to get there early but we lost our train. I heard them from the outside. I had to run from the outside cus I felt I was gonna miss Vanessa playing. When I sat down, Vanessa came out. I wanted to see them but I didnt get to.

To jjthefourth--I saw/heard Alan Smithee.  They didn't play on the main stage, but on a small wooden stage on the lawn/picnic area as you walk up to the consessions area to the left, after coming through the left entry of the pavillion.  They were really good, but I think that only one person was sitting and watching them.  If they had been on the main stage, then they would have gotten lots of exposure.  But we were quite impressed as we walked by to get to our seats to see Vanessa!

Ahhh, no wonder no one else knew who I was talking about!  Thank you so much for letting me know that you saw them!
