My previous LOVE

So before I met Bill and had Charlotte my first love/obsession was Dave Matthews. If you don't not know who Dave Matthews is, shame on you! Just to name a few things I used to do are: I would plan my vacations around DMB shows and write the lyrics to my favorite songs instead of listening to professors (I still got an A in those classes thank you very much). In college Mandy, Amanda and I would would pretend we were members of the band and play air guitars and sing along to our fave songs, Tripping Billies and Stay! I miss those girls! Reunion? In recent years I haven't been able to keep up with DMB b/c of work and since I've been on maternity leave I've been catching up. I came upon the following article "You know you are obsessed with Dave Matthews when" and decide to share a few of the obsessions. For some of you that know me well will laugh and say, "yeah, that's Katie." Enjoy!

*You've tried to excessively mimic that crazy ass dance he does at live shows.
*You do the eyebrow and facial type gestures that Dave does when singing a Dave song.
*You make your friends stop the radio on a Dave song when they're flipping channels, even if you know the song is already or almost over.
*You feel light headed and woozy 5 minutes before DMB takes the stage at EVERY concert (and you are not drunk) I don't drink b/c I'm afraid I'll have to leave and use the restroom.
*You day dream about becoming rich when you are older so you can hire the band to play at your wedding, playing a set list completely devised by you.
*When you are at a concert and everyone around you thinks your psychic because you can tell what song it is by the combination of Dave's guitar, Stefan's bass, and what note Dave has his hand.
*When you are 100% certain your very first dance song at your future wedding is I'll Back You Up. Or Crush
*When you proceed to inform your family on how many which ways you plan on getting to a concert halfway across the country. Traveled to Rhode Island, North Carolina, Georgia, Texas, Florida and Colorado
*You make a romantic play list of ONLY DMB songs. I'm in the process of making Charlotte a cd
*You join a Dave Matthews Band MYSPACE group.
*You get pissed when somebody tells you they have no idea who Dave Matthews Band is.
*You have a dream about meeting the band, but then wake up and are horribly saddened by the fact that it was only a dream. Ha! I met him. Please see pic below!
*You don't go out with a person because he/ she says the band is trash.
*When you just can't fathom how people could NOT love this band, and you try to get everyone you know as hooked as you are, despite what they listen to.
*You have a majority of your bookmarked pages on your internet explorer being DMB related websites.
*When you stick a camera in your chest to get it past security so you can take pics inside the venue.
*When you strongly think of naming your first child Dave, Boyd, Stefan, Carter, Leroi, or Grace.
*Know every word to every song.
*Listen to at least one song of DMB everyday.

These are just a few obsessions, please let me know if you'd like to read the full list. :)
