there was a sweet switchfoot acoustic set at best buy today. for as short as it was, i am actually glad that i went.
i got there at 10:50am, half expecting the place to be empty.. or maybe i was hoping for it to be empty.
alas, that was not the case. when noon rolled around, it looked like there was about 250-300 people there, easily.
anyways, SF arrived at 12, and opened up with mess of me, played dare you to move, and then closed (i know, short set!) with hello hurricane.
as short as it was, it was fun, and worth the wait.
between dare you to move and hello hurricane, jon and the group answered a few questions from the crowd.
one of them was the following: "what's your favorite song to play live?"
jon: "definitely vice verses...and it's a shame we don't have time to play it!"
i quickly shouted out: "play the first verse!"
surprisingly, jon tuned to drop D, looked at me, and started playing vice verses... and then asked "it goes something like this, right?" and that is how i got this picture.
after the show i waited about an hour and a half for switchfoot to sign almost everybody (or so it seemed!) anyways, right before they walked out the door, i snagged a few autographs, and this picture with one of my favorite lyricists of all time.. jon foreman.
