Like many of you, I traveled from another state to see him and it was worth every penny. My dream was to see him at an intimate venue like The Box, and the first night I was floored. The size and layout of The Box was awesome, the acoustics were great, and even halfway back the first night I was still so close to the stage and could see almost everything. After the crazy experience at Warsaw (the hot "cattle call"- disorganization, and rowdy crowd, stampede to get in, and interruptions), I realize how wonderful you all were at The Box. The last night could not have been better in my mind, and I realize that part of the magic was how awesome everyone was! I enjoyed meeting so many new people and will probably continue meeting up with new friends. Those of you who waited in line all day with me and sat in the front are a permanent part of my memory. Everyone in the crowd was respectful, did not overpower with their singing, and sometimes you could hear a pin drop. I am so, so appreciative of and awed by how great you all were, and for helping make my dream come true. I didn't realize that the crowd could make or break an experience, and you all at The Box (especially the second night) definitely made it for me

Simply phenomenal.

Cheers, Kaytee
