Des Moines Concert & Tweets that Never made it to Twitter.... :)

Gas for 3hr. drive to Des Moines, complete with pit-stop in Iowa City to pick up the amazingly wicked awesomeness that is Nicole Hershey = $25.

Meeting Nicole, making memories that I know will last, SNC in concert & the opportunity to meet 10 of the most down to earth guys I have ever met = PRICELESS.

There are some things money CAN buy, for everything else, there's...FIRST TIMES!! I know, this isn't a MasterCard commercial, it's life & a SUPER awesome one at that, but as long as I mentioned it...here are just few things (first times...) from last night's roadtrip to/show in DSM that should sum up the experience but never made it to Twitter and/or FB...but probably should have!

1. Google Maps failed me! Turned at wrong exit, so instead of being on Nicole's street, I'm now driving past Kinnick Stadium. #WhatUpHawks

2. While on the phone with Nicole for the first time, following a Jeep w/Illinois LP & a big tire cover on the back that reads "NAPERVILLE". #IronyAnyone?

3. Only in Iowa would you see a creepy guy in a farm tractor next to I-80 as you pass a sign that reads: DO NOT PICK UP HITCH-HIKERS.

4. Glad I didn't miss the big sign on the exit that read: CIVIC CENTER. @musicalpug would have had so many "because YOU'RE FROM IOWA" jokes right now.

5. @therealsnctyler I know we're SUPER early, but where is the parking garage, & How do we get into it?

6. Lighting Design for this show is GORGEOUS! Well played, @TheBlakeMinor, Well played!!

7. #CameraFail...Oh well, there will be other concerts....LOVING THIS!!

8. @nhershey1 I don't know how many times is an acceptable amount to cry at an @SNCmusic concert, but I'm pretty sure we might just be setting a record. #EEK!

9. @SNCmusic Bridge Over Troubled Waters?! Really, Guys?!! You just had to go & make me cry... Thanks! :) #ComeOn ♥

10. Holy Wow! So Good...2 Standing Ovations including encores...Iowa does love @SNCmusic...lol. :)

11. In the Meet & Greet like w/ @nhershey1. Already can't wait to see the concert again...Guess I should meet the guys first, huh?....lol.

12. People should know how awesome @mikeluginbill & @ryansongs are...Not that the rest of the guys aren't...lol. I think that goes without saying...Wait... :)

13. On our way to Altoona to Nicole's Aunt's. Thanks for hosting us! @nhershey

14. On the Road again, Nicole has her coffee & we're listening to WAT, Mike L.'s solo album, & Twenty Nights while playing Leap Frog on I-80 w/Mr. Blue Semi. #JustPassUsAlready

15. Left my CD cover w/ @nhershey so she can take it to VA w/her & give @mikeluginbill a hard time for signing my flyer but not that... #NiceMike In all honesty, it was most likely my fault. #TooBusyBeingSocial

I'm sure I'll have more updates later, but definitely one of the Best Concerts I've ever been to. Thanks for a fantastic time, Guys! Well done!! :)
