The show started at 8:00 p.m. The tension was horrible. They didn't get on
stage until 8:11. When I saw Courtney it was the best feeling in the entire
world. I thought I would cry, but I didn't yet. She was wearing a blue
angelic dress, with angel wings. Melissa was wearing a peach shirt and red
pants, with her sparkle bass *of course* and Eric had on a red-ish t -shirt,
with a crown on it. The highlight of the show was when Courtney said "Get
those fuckin kids up here!! I won_t start the show until you get the kids up
here!" She was referring to getting them to the front. The guards weren_t to
happy with this. We didn_t care. We won. We got all the way up to the boxes
where the "special" people sit, kicked them out. We had about 7 people
standing on a table that comfortably fit 2. Courtney broke into Violet before
we knew it. I started screaming along with everyone else there. I had to
squeeze my best friends hand to keep from passing out. Then Awful. Courtney
started dancing and jumping around. It wasn_t before long when she got into
the crowd. The 1st person she invited on stage was a chubby grrrl with pink
hair. She said "She wants to make a pipe bomb? I_m gonna give her a guitar."
We never saw her give her the guitar, but anyway. Courtney went on for a
while about how good a father Flea was and how Cute Clara *Flea_s Daughter*
was, and how she was going to mate with Flea. Her exact words were "I should
just go up to Flea and say _You know what? Let_s Just do it!_" Some people
were mighty pissed, *because of Frances* But Courtney continued with another
song. I_ll be honest, I don_t remember the song order, *sorry* but I_m
trying. Anyway, Courtney was climbing these rafter things, and all she was
wearing was a bikini. There were so many kids up on stage. *I hated them all*
but I was happy. When she sang Celebrity Skin ALL of the kids crowded around
her singing, and one of the grrrls on stage was playing guitar for Courtney.
She was good! *at this time I was literally on my knees begging the guard to
let us stay there. He did because it was the last song. During Dying is when
the glitter was shot out. We weren_t close enough to get any, but the person
who originally sat like 2 rows in front of us got some and "shared the
wealth" . I was sooooo happy. As we were walking back to our seats we heard a
grrrl talking about how she shook Courtney_s hand. I had to grab her hand. I
held it for a LONG time. She didn_t care. That_s when the tears came. The
show was over. Courtney has absolutely amazed me. And I almost touched her
hand. *Oh! And I got my HOLE bear!* We got back to our seats and the grrrl in
front of us *the one with the glitter* said she had pictures!!! *the
panoramic kind* So I gave her my address and my email address so I will get
them and get them scanned. There are a few attached. God you guys! It was the
absolute best. And if you haven_t seen Hole yet, you REALLY have something to
look forward to. There are no pics.. cause they are SOOOO crappy. if you
wanna see em anyway write Mathilda Rose Fenton
