Review:

I was excited to introduce Melanie to Dave Matthews Band, but both days of the Tibetan Freedom Concert looked great, and we bought tickets to both days. Dave Matthews Band played second after we arrived, ending with “All Along The Watchtower” joined by Warren Haynes (lately of The Allman Brothers Band). We weren’t much into Herbie Hancock and the Headhunters, but didn’t have much time, as a storm blew in and at 3:45 p.m. the first lightning bolt hit and struck a George Washington student. That was it for Saturday.

Melanie’s first HFStival, and we stayed all day. Semisonic and Fastball were great, but Barenaked Ladies was the band for us, apparently performing “One Week” live for the first time.

I had started dating Melanie, and took her to see The Excentrics as I visited Nick’s for the last time.

I was back living with my parents in Annandale, so Springfield was an easy trip to see Dream Theater in a club.
