Went and saw the show tonight in par view seats - was awesome, as always!! I sat next to an older couple, and it always makes me smile when you see such diverse fans, y'know? The guy next to me put earplugs in before the show, lol, and then every time Billie or Van (Van was on for Will) would sing, he'd push them in a little further or adjust them.
BJ was Rick James again, haha, and there was really nothing out of the ordinary. Until Good Riddance - right before it started, Billie kinda stopped the others because he couldn't find his guitar pick. He asked if anyone in the audience had one, and someone did, so he took it and used it. Then right in the middle of singing the first few lines, he stops, and says, ''Oh, Happy Birthday Ben!'
After the show, there was a huge crowd near the stage doors, and I figured I'd take a chance and wait by the glass ones instead in case he decided to sneak out that way again. John Gallagher came out - after a theater worker made sure the coast was clear - and then the same guy came and told us (there were three or four of us standing there) that Billie would be coming out the stage doors because when he snuck out the other night, he got in trouble... I have to say this, too, because I think this every time. It's such a small part of the show, but during JOS and the I Don't Care part - I just LOVE the choreography during that part. Don't know what it is about it, but it's great.
