 Jumbo Wow. I will start out with disclaimers. My last concert was also The Raconteurs, at The Anthem in Washington, DC. I don't think any show will ever top that experience, so my apologies for using that show as a point of reference, but I must. Read the comments on that listing to understand better f you like...DISCLAIMER #2: this will be loooong, already is, so sorry, fair warning.... I will use the pictures as my guide to the story of a GREAT music day. I sat with my friends T & S from Wilmington briefly at the end of the show - they were sitting in the seats I bought in the Vault pre-sale, shown in the first picture My seat was in the GA Pit, and I was first in line. 16 TMR VIP guests got in, and then me. I was alone at the head of the line for several hours, but took some time to walk around and stretch. Ran into Dean Fertitta! He suggested a selfie together when I cursed myself for leaving my sharpie back with the security guard marking my place on line :-0 Found out my selfie camera isn't working, but Dean patiently waited for a passerby to take a snap, disastrous results documented in the pictures, so I took the close-up. Asked him why he wasn't a full-bore "Raconteurs" member. He actually told me! He said that he joined Queens Of The Stone Age as The Raconteurs were forming and his commitments to that project wouldn't allow it. But he added, "You never know what will happen in the future." HOW COOL! So before the aforementioned Anthem show I ran into Lil, Jack. He agreed to take a picture, and though we got it printed right away, I didn't see him again... that day... but here in Raleigh, low and behold, who did I find but Lil' Jack his own self! He politely signed the pic and my Raconteurs Vault issued bandana. He also chatted with and signed for my new friends T & B (not the same T as above), as well as a few other TMR loyalists. (nods to Sh) We are up to pic 7! And I am tuckered out, the note is too long for even me. Part 2 coming soon... The Raconteurs / Olivia Jean Sep 05, 2019

 Justin Thiele There was about a 6 month period when I was 16 when all I listened to was Rotting Pinata and Tripping Daisy's "Elastic Firecracker" in my car. Needless to say, it was amazing to finally get the chance to see Sponge perform the Rotting Pinata songs. It's one of the best alternative albums from the 90's and absolutely still holds up.
