   On Tuesday July 7, I attended the OLP performance in Dayton, OH with my good friend Lisa Hilbert. Third Eye Blind was the headlining band and Eve 6 was opening along with OLP. Lisa and I arrived around 5 PM. Since doors were not until 6, we decided to see what we could find in back of the arena. We could hear someone sound checking inside(but knew not who). Lisa saw Raine walk in the back stage door(wearing his dork hat). We befriended Adam, the light guy for 3EB. He told us that if we came around later he would let us on the tour bus. We continued to snoop around after everyone seemed to be gone. Lisa got a bit antsy and flicked off the tour bus since she thought no one was in it. Unfortunately, we later saw Steven(of 3EB) exit the bus. (Lisa claims he gave her a dirty look.)

   Soon after we entered the arena to discover we were not allowed on the floor as we did not have floor seats(unbeknownst to us). Eve 6 played first and had a very nice set. Then OLP came on. The set list follows.

Automatic Flowers/Superman's Dead/Naveed/Car Crash/Let You Down
4a.m./Clumsy/Starseed/Eternal Life

   The set was very good overall. This also happens to be the same set(with the exception of Eternal Life) as was played at the One Earth Party in Cincinnati on June 13. No one in the seats stood up during OLP except Lisa and I. One evil security guard told us to sit down during Automatic Flowers because there were people behind us. As soon as he left we stood up again. Neither of us recognized Mike when we saw him next to the stage prior to OLP's entrance. Why you might ask. Well Mike shaved his head.(In my personal opinion he looks better with the hair.) Eternal life was played very well. The vocals could use a bit of work however, especially in the beginning.

   Lisa and I only stayed for a few of 3EB's songs as they are not one of our most favorite bands. Steven is very insincere when he says things like how he is greatful to the fans. Unfortunately, none of the fans seem to realize this.

   After we left, we went around back to see if we could meet anyone. We could still hear 3EB playing from outside. We found 3 other girls standing outside OLP's tour bus. They informed us that they had seen Duncan and said hi to him. He said hi back and then got on the bus slamming the door.(how rude). We could see through the window Raine and Duncan watching T.V. They kept looking out at us. We talked to the bus driver. He called the other three girls dogs earlier for being out there. He is mean. We don't like him. Raine and Duncan continued watching T.V. and ignoring their fans. They would not even smile or wave. We did not see Mike or Jeremy. We think they must have killed them and thrown them in the dumpster. Then the security guards made us move and the tour bus pulled away. Lisa and I flicked off Raine and Duncan as the bus pulled away(we were very frustrated).
