Ten years ago today is when the passion started.

Today is the tenth anniversary of my very first concert!

Bush with opener Veruca Salt.

I was 13 and in 8th grade at the time. My friend Lisa and I had counted down the days til the 24th for months. In our hastily scrawled notes during class, we'd put the countdown as we signed our names. We'd say, "I'm screaming daisies," a line from Greedy Fly, "only 16 days away!"

Wow. I wonder where I'll be in another 10 years.
