by **OnlyOneNC** on Thu Apr 22, 2010 9:34 am

Got tickets for the Atlanta show. Who else is going ??? Now comes the hard part, waiting for the concert, and the hardest part, waiting to find out what seats I'll get !!!

(((Lesia))) I hope you have a wonderful time. You deserve it.

If you see Lizz and Ben please give them hugs.

by **OnlyOneNC** on Fri Apr 23, 2010 5:42 am

Thanks Sue. I really appreciate that comment. I wasn't sure that I was going to go at all this year. But it's been a while since I've seen a show, so I decided that my sweetie and I deserved a little get-away for once. KIDLESS even ! One day we'll meet up at a concert. :biggrin:

by **Kypride86** on Sun May 02, 2010 11:07 am

Ill be there

by **Lizz** on Mon May 03, 2010 9:20 am

IF I AM THERE DO NOT FREAK ME OUT THIS YEAR. LOL

by **Kypride86** on Fri May 07, 2010 12:22 am

LOL Ill try not to Janet, but you know who I am now so you shouldnt be freaked out!

by **FemmeInWNC** on Wed May 12, 2010 4:20 pm

I am going! Got 2 tix in PL1, but I don't have anyone to go with me (at least who will pay for their ticket!) lol

I haven't seen Melissa perform live since her Charleston, SC, show on the Scarecrow tour. I think that ATL in July will be my 5th time seeing her, and I am really excited! I hope she'll do a lot of her older material!!

Im getting pumped for the show! So wish it would hurry up and get here. The 6 hour drive is more then worth it! Atlanta and Nashville the same weekend, life doesnt get any better

by **FemmeInWNC** on Wed Jun 23, 2010 3:01 pm

I'm excited, too! I just wish I could find a taker for my extra ticket! It is in Price Level 1, and I'm sure the seats will be awesome! I only want to get what I paid for the ticket, so it would be $120. I am willing to entertain any offers though!

Please contact me here if you are interested!

peace :peace:

Aww it was my fault....have fun!!!

by **darksdale** on Thu Jul 22, 2010 12:20 pm

I will be wearing white shirt, black pants (usher colors),
and a hat....and a sign, saying I need a ticket!

by **Kypride86** on Thu Jul 22, 2010 5:48 pm

Finally made it to ATL and am settled into the hotel. We are two blocks from the venue. Can't wait to see everyone tomorrow!

by **toomuchgirl** on Thu Jul 22, 2010 7:08 pm

Present and accounted for! Drove over 500 miles today to get here. Don't have to drive any further though as our hotel is practically on the grounds of the venue! It's a mere two minute walk at best. Look forward to meeting any and all boardies! My daughter Amanda will be wearing a black "Live and Alone" tee shirt and jeans and a tan hat. I'll probably be wearing jeans and a dark purple shirt with a peace sign, a bird, and a guitar on it. Come on up and say hi!! Kathleen and Amanda. 8-)

by **angelkisses** on Thu Jul 22, 2010 8:46 pm

Have fun girls, not going to make it to ATL, hopefully to Tampa.....

I was wondering if you had gotten a ticket! 8-)

by **FemmeInWNC** on Fri Jul 23, 2010 6:38 am

I'm new to the forum here, but I thought I'd tag on .......

I'm leaving Asheville & heading to ATL in about a half hour!! I'll be wearing a purple skirt & black tshirt with a winged heart in silver studs.

Really looking forward to the show!!!

Peace, love, & rock'n'roll!! :peace:

Great show!!!!!!!!! Melissa and the band ROCKED HARD!!!!!! Serious amounts of very good music. Special treat to have Melissa and Peter play within inches of Amanda and I several times throughout the show. I cannot ask for more. Melissa was very silly and playful tonight. Kinda cool seeing that other side of her. Dan is very funny and very playful. Love him! Serious amounts of awesome bass playing tonight! Nice to meet you Tommy(aka Kypride). Surprised to meet up with Karen(aka Giant) after the show. Another GREAT show Melissa!!!!!!! Thanks so much!

by **Slhay** on Fri Jul 23, 2010 8:45 pm

Just got back from the concert sister took me as a birthday gift
...OMG!
I havn't been to one since Peter Frampton 1978...

Melissa rocked the house!!
It was as if we were all there to visit her home; we embarked on a tour
through one emotional room after another all the while Melissa never left us,
guiding, attentive to each room's meaning as well as our perception...
the consumate hostess.
Then she came back for one last song to put us at ease and say only
Good night....not Good bye.

It was the best birthday in all my many years.
Thank you!!

You got a treat with Ruins and Heaven On Earth. Shes not doing HOE every show. Wish she did!!

I was so happy, I posted on the ATL request thread that is on here saying that I wanted Ruins played and I was SHOCKED when she actually played it. The universe defiently listens and I got two of my favorite songs played! Im still trying to wrap my head around last night. This was the best Melissa show I have ever been too. She is on fire this tour. Tomorrow sadly is my last show this tour and I am sad about that!

by **Kypride86** on Sat Jul 24, 2010 7:14 am

She also did The Different, I forgot to put that on the setlist last night.

by **Kypride86** on Sat Jul 24, 2010 7:15 am

Yes last night was beyond amazing. Hands down the best Melissa show I have ever been to.
