Oh awesome you were there too!! 
I think it was the best show of my life. I am still smiling from it. Here's my review:
I got to the venue at 5:30 (3 hours early!), I saw Sky a block away on his phone but I didn't know it was him until he turned his head and I saw the beard LOL I found the venue and they let me go in to watch the other show that was going on. Shortly after, the girl I was meeting showed up with her sister and we watched a bit of the band. Then someone else who I was meeting texted me and said she drove by and the band was hanging out by their van! So we walked outside, no one was by the van anymore but we saw Sky jogging down the road LOL WTF it was 90 degrees out, he must have been sweating bullets! Then on our way back in, we said hi to Aaron who was going the other way!
We sat back down at our table, the girls went out to smoke, and then who walks RIGHT past me...Daisy! He was bringing in his bass! The girls came back in and we had to move outside an hour before the show so we started the line. Daisy comes back out and towards us, and I said "Hi Daisy!" He stops and says hi and asks how I am, I say "Awesome, how are you?" He goes "Pleasant!" ;D He said he liked the girls' shirts (Foxy shirts) and I said I felt bad cuz I wasn't wearing one, I just had a shirt with musical notes on it, and he said my shirt was cool too and that I didn't even have to put in a lot of effort for it LOL We told him we drove there from Minneapolis (4 hours) and he said he loves Minneapolis, it's one of his favorite places to play, and I said "Well you can come see us anytime!!" Then he had to go finish loading stuff up.
A bit later he came back and was hanging around the line by us and we talked some more, nothing important just small talk, he was saying something about his fiance going into a bathroom somewhere, I didnt hear the whole thing. Then we got pics with him! We got pics with Sky too!
A bit later when it was almost time, the entire band walks by to go in for soundcheck! Someone held the door open so we could hear it, and everyone at the beginning of the line was singing and dancing along with Holy Touch!
We finally got let in. I got front and center, and everyone I was with (including new friends we made in line) were all around me! It was perfect!! The opening band, The Usual Things, was pretty good. Mathew from Cadaver Dogs was the only one doing their mic checks, it was funny watching him bounce around from one instrument to another! The break was only like 10 minutes and Foxy came on!
I am amazed at how quickly they just jump right into it, just intense action right from the start! The setlist was the same as all the other shows from what I've seen, so I won't repeat it. All the usual stunts and tricks were done, including Alex & Daisy flipping Eric backwards, which I got on video! Also Eric eating the cigarrettes. It was a perfect show, the crowd was into it but not too crazy! Eric stagedived twice. Some guy got up there and grabbed him and headbanged with him for a minute before diving into the audience!
After it was over, I hopped up there and grabbed Daisy's setlist, earlier I saw that he wiped his face with it so I wanted to own his sweat LOL
BEST NIGHT EVER!!!!!
