Lol, that was hilarious :) yes, let's blame it on Switchfoot! i tend to 'stand like a statue', though *hides with embarrassment* but mainly because that's how i feel i best experience switchfoot...i don't jump around, but i just absorb the band's energy and the crowd's energy (sometimes literally - as in physical energy ooof), and i sing along, scream along, and cry along when Jon calls for it...!<BR/><BR/>Ah, Switchfoot! the only band with whom you could laugh, sing, scream, and cry with for completely different reasons at the same time. just like good friends. :)cathyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03085774472332655588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6864645736383964039.post-4641478494532436542007-03-09T19:35:00.000-08:002007-03-09T19:35:00.000-08:002007-03-09T19:35:00.000-08:00btw, I've been meaning to tell you this...your I loved your interpretation of 4:12.

And I too am glad that you had such an amazing experience<BR/>And in reference to '...and somehow I was completely at ease, not nervous or starstruck at all' I think that's the beauty of Switchfoot, that they make you feel like you're an equal, just there to talk and share some good times. I was expecting to get all tongue-tied in true starstruck fan fashion, but surprisingly, I wasn't, and neither were you so it seems.<BR/>So kudos to you Phil, for the blog, the amazing opportunity, and just, for being amazing all around :D<BR/> I would be jealous, or possibly envious is a better word...but I'm too busy being happyMuktahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13803796749684794507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6864645736383964039.post-87713910420381194732007-03-09T15:57:00.000-08:002007-03-09T15:57:00.000-08:002007-03-09T15:57:00.000-08:00Phil, I was being cute/sarcastic.
