Carrie, when we were in Ft Wayne, we were driving from our hotel to the Coliseum at 7:30 a.m. to get in line, and we were getting off the highway when we passed a hotel (Radisson maybe? can't remember) and we saw 3 or 4 tour buses in the parking lot. We drove into the lot, drove all around the place and even took pics of the buses. Mind you it was 7:30 and the place was far from downtown, so we knew they weren't going to be coming out of the hotel anytime soon, and we wanted to get to the venue to get in line. So Luvscott and I drop Souldancer off at the venue, go to Walmart for the portable cd player and some food for the day, and we decided to sneak back to the hotel. Just as we were pulling up, the buses were pulling out. We just got so excited we were like screaming lunatics. We did a U-turn and followed the buses to the venue. Now keep in mind, it's still only 8:00 a.m. at this time. In the back of our minds we knew that the band wasn't there, that it was the roadies and crew, but some little part of us hoped it was them. Anyway, we never got to meet them in person, but that's my little tale of following buses.
