All the Concerts Fit to Print

Apparently, I had won tickets for Soul Asylum, from New Rock 102 One. I've also got a ticket stub from a pre-show party in the Amphitheater Forecourt. I wonder what that was about. Phil must have been out of town or busy, because I took Fish, a guy I worked with.

The opening acts were The Jayhawks, Matthew Sweet and Victoria Williams. I have only hazy memories of The Jayhawks and Sweet. I remember Williams a little better. I've always wondered what she's like in person. I kinda wanted to meet her (I seldom really feel like that about famous people).

Soul Asylum was decent too, though I think the venue was a bit big for their style. Our seats were on the aisle, so during "String of Pearls", Fish pushed me out into the aisle where we waltzed (until we saw security coming our way).

I had liked Indigo Girls since their debut, with "Closer to Fine". They had released Rites of Passage in the spring, though I didn't have it yet. Matthew Sweet was touring with them, and I loved his new song, "Girlfriend". They came to Summerfest, so I was there.

I don't know the date on this one, but I seem to recall that it was in June. That narrows it down to the 25th through the 30th.
