It was SO MUCH FUN to see Ryan right before I went to Atlanta -- when I saw the NJ date the following day I was hoping we'd get a Boston one around then too. And sure enough, one popped up. Thankfully it was before NJ and not after, because had Ryan been in Boston when I wasn't here, I'd have been totally bummed. The Middle East is awesome - I'd never been there before but I'd absolutely see another show there. Doors were at 8, show started around 845, and Ryan came on around 10:30. The show kicked ass and if I was standing any closer to the stage, I'd be sitting on it.
I videoed a few songs -- 11:59, The One You Know, and Start A Fire. Start A Fire was totally epic because Ryan GRABBED MY CAMERA and friggan videoed then tossed the camera back to me. The battery was dying and all I could think of was "please battery, don't die" - needless to say, even though the video is all over the place because he took the camera, threw it back to me, then told us all to jump -- its awesome.
If you want to read my full recap, you can do so

Have a few pictures (This is really how close I was, the zoom's not on at ALL)
