How much of a spreadhead am I now?

Tonight was #7 for me. After lots of talk and study on the method to the setlist madness, I made a list of all my favorites (excluding most covers because, well, there are nearly as many covers as originals ... and that's a LOT). I marked off the ones where there was no chance they would be played (X), probably not be played (/), possibly not be played (\), and dotted the ones that have been played this tour (one dot per play). It took a couple hours :)

Next, I circled the ones I really wanted to hear and had a good chance of play. Would you know that I got 4 so far? ("Pigeons," "Send Your Mind," "Little Kin," and "Red Hot Mama") I think that's pretty cool. And several were played that were on the master list, but not circled.

So, let's see ... I've traveled to see WP twice so far, I have the ink, I spend about $100/year on tshirts and memorabilia, and I make friends at the shows. The first song I figured out by ear to play on the bass was "Imitation Leather Shoes." I even own several DVDs of shows so I can watch when I'm not seeing them live.

I guess all that's left on the WP bucket list is: be a roadie, take my kids to a show, have them play at my wedding (and other applicable major events), go on tour with the band and crew, finish the tattoo, and see "Bears Gone Fishing," "Fishing," "Sparks Fly," and "Climb to Safety."

I can't wait for tomorrow night!
