10 Oct 98 - WBMX Show, Boston, MA
I got wacky once more and went on yet another adventure to see Stretch
Princess play. Left Philly last night...took a bus to NYC....my friend Steve
picked me up there, then headed to his house in CT....woke up at like 10am
Saturday morning and left for Boston. Very cold, rainy, dismal,....yet
still, ever so fun :) I love hopping in the car with my friends and just
going off with no clue where you're really heading, we only knew "Boston's
City Hall Plaza" =) wooohoo, luckily we found it just in time and parking
was right across the street. Soon as we got there, around 3:30, stretch were
about to play.... it was kinda weird, the event was free but only people who
won tix could get close to the stage, everyone else were baracaded
back....never seen so much security for such a show. anyhow, I was totally
amazed that Dave saw me standing in the crowd when he was stage...and he
smiled at me, then Jo looked and waved and I could see her mouth something
like "no horns?" ...i think ;) while pointing to her head.... (i didnt bring
my light up horns like i usually do because my batteries died and just didnt
have time to buy new ones)
anyhow, they got up and started to rock...they played:
twas fun.... i dig going to different cities to see bands play.... even if it
is only 30 minutes of music.... its still worth it..... a litte rain never
hurt anyone :)

they didnt hop around as much cos you could tell the stage was probably really
slippery.... after they were off .... i waited a bit wandering around, then
decided to hang near the "backstage" fenced off area to see if they were
leaving.... sure enough i saw them way in the back packing up and ready to
head out.... they had to walk past me so i got to briefly say hiya and sorta
talk to them.... James said it was really really really dangerous on stage
because of the rain...then asked me how they sounded .... (of course they
sound great every time) then they said they had to catch a flight to CA....and
were sorry they couldnt chat longer.... so that was it.
