I live in St.Paul, Mn and the show was in Milwaukee about 4 hours away from here. Well, 3 of my friends from here started on our way on Friday (the show was on Saturday) we went to Madison, Wi and stayed with 3 other friends who also were coming to the show with us. Alrighty well Saturday finally came along!!! We all wanted to meet the band and get up front, that was something we all agreed on but what some of us disagreed on was what time to get there. Some thought really early others thought right when the doors were going to open at 7pm. So we compromised and got there at 6:15pm. There was already a line but it was not very long. Once the doors opened we ran in there and got in the second row!!! (no seats, it was standing) i would have preferred first row but hey second was just as good. We were pretty much in the middle, but i was more toward Dan's side!! Anyways, now this part is really neat. The HANG-UPS came on!!!! it was really neat cause no one was expecting them and they were really good and very sweet!! also from MN!! WHOOHOO!! Then Remy Zero came on!!! They were GREAT i really liked them a lot!!! they also threw a lot of stuff into the crowd, i almost caught a drum stick but unfortunately someone taller than me got it =( THEN THE MOMENT CAME!!! SEMISONIC came OUT!!!! Dan was wearing that firefighter outfit (i know it sounds weird but AHH does he look good in it!!) John was wearing the black pants and a button down shirt, and Jake was wearing black pants and a button down shirt. THEY ALL LOOKED GREAT! OH, Dan was wearing his new glasses, John had totally black hair, no highlights and no facial hair. They started with F.N.T.!!! and of course Dan was hip shimmying and he did some nice butt shaking!! ahhh!!! I don't remember all of the songs they played but i was a little sad that they didn't play Completely Pleased =( but they did play Erotic City and I Got You from the Split Ends. It was so cute During Erotic City cause John was totally jamming on his guitar and Dan kept looking over at John jamming and smiling at him, it was so cute!! John would always go back and jam with Jake!! Jake through out the WHOLE show was smiling it was so sweet! Throughout the concert Dan seemed to be looking out in the back, he never really made eye contact. BUT, during This Will Be My Year Dan was not singing and he was just jamming, I kind of jumped and yelled his name and he came over, right in front of me and looked down smiled and then nodded!! I almost died! for a second there I thought I was dreaming and then my friends and some other girl was like, oh my gosh he just smiled at you! Then I knew I was not dreaming!! Dan did not do as much hip shimmying as i would have liked but at one point he shimmied for like 2 min straight cause the girls were going crazy!! He also did not talk very much, maybe cause the acoustics there were really bad, I don't know. Then they played closing time and left. They came back after about 5 min and played like 4 or 5 more songs then Dan left, then John and then Jake, Jake threw his drum sticks. So that was the concert. Then the fun began after the concert.......

After the concert we went to the tour buses. Both Remy Zero and Semisonics buses were parked outside next to each other. We were the only ones out there which was fine with me!! As we were waiting for Semi, some of the Remy boys came out. We talked with them for a little while, they were SO SWEET!! The boys that were with us were, Jeff, Gregg, Shelby, and Cedric. We took some pics with them and i was next to Shelby, he was so sweet after a couple pics he goes "let me give you a kiss" and he did, he was so sweet! each one of my friends was talking with on of the Remy boys, i got to talk with Shelby. He told me that they had room for one more in the van and that they were going to a bar to and if i wanted to come with. When he said this I almost died!! He just asked if I wanted to go with them!!!!!! I said that we came as a group and we couldn't split up and he said that we could follow them in our car, i almost died again, my friends heard this and we all really wanted to go but then again we also wanted to meet Semi. I told him that if semi came out before they were ready to leave then we would, if not then we wouldn't. As we were talking to them i see a really blonde guy getting on to the semi bus!! it was Jake and he had just walked on!! just then the bus driver was walking to the bus and we asked him if he would ask Jake if he would come out. So the driver smiled and gets on the bus with the door open and goes "Hey Jake, do you wanna come out here??" and Jake goes " Yup, in a second." So then Jake came out and he was SO sweet, he wearing a remy zero shirt and he looked so cute. He signed our stuff (he whipped out his own sharpie!) and took pics with us!! then he kind of goofed off with a couple of the remy boys and went back to the bus. Then a little bit later John comes to the bus and he looks really hot in person, he signed our stuff, once again with his own sharpie, gee these guys are prepared!! ;-) and we took pics he too was really sweet, i was amazed and how friendly they were. Then we waited for Dan. As we were waiting the remy boys were getting ready to go. So we had to decide to party with Remy OR to meet Dan, we decided to stay and meet Dan since that was our original plan. we had to wait an hour after meeting John and Jake for Dan. Once Dan came out we got his sig and we each got a pic with him. He was sweet but seemed kind of in a hurry to go, but he was still sweet and REALLY cute!!

Overall i thought the Semi boys were really sweet and they look REALLY good in person. Same with the Remy boys!!!

So that was my incredible evening!!

I am sure that is A LOT more than you wanted to know but I just had to share it!!
