A lot of people I assume "know" each other and several of you really do know each other well. But I was kind of hoping to see people post a little about themselves so we know who the Shinedown collection of fans really is.

I am Will, and I live in Louisville, KY. I am a third year student at the University of Louisville studying in Communications to either do Public Relations or Radio Broadcasting. My dream job out of this would be to do PR/Marketing for a major record label or to be like the next Lou Brutus with a show like Hard Drive.

I'm Ray, I love in the north of England, and I study Media Production at college. I aim to study it at University as well for the next three years, before embarking on a career in the film / TV industry.

... unless I win the lottery BIG TIME before then, in which case I plan to retire.... already.

I'm Chris, I live in a small town in Pennsylvania right between Allentown and Reading. I am a Junior in High school. I'm looking at being an Accountant in the future, but nothing is set in stone.

It's nice to meet you Will and Ray.

I'm James, live in Rio de Janeiro (Brazil). I'm a future Cadet of the Army and hope to be the best I can in whatever I do.
I'm honored to meet all of you.

Keep on rockin' in the free world! ;D

My name is Bob, I live in Rome, NY which is pretty much dead center of the state. I work at a casino. My dream job is to be a concert/event promoter and booking agent. I hope to sucessfully plan and execute a concert festival in my area by 2011. I've completely researched and did the layout for a show which I hope to accomplish in the near future. So much work still needs to be done. I'll get there though.

I'm Tammy I'm 34 and work at an electronics factory as a team leader / supervisor in training in Milwaukee . I have a 12 yr old son who is a closet Shinedown fan. I say closet because he gets upset when " We have to see SHINEDOWN AGAIN" but then I hear him singing along when he thinks I'm not listening.

Now I know why you can't be trusted! Math people are EBIL! Keep in mind, this is coming from the person that ends up in tears BECAUSE of math.

Oh right. Back on topic.

San Antonio, TX
Criminal Justica major with a focus in Forensics. I'm still debating on whether I want to go general and scrape people's brains off of walls or if I want to specialize. If I do specialize, I'm thinking either blood splatter (shut up, I know there's math!) or handwriting analysis.
World's cutest 4 year old who LOVES Shinedown. Goes to concerts, Shinedown being her first. ANew Revolution is probably who she's seen the most.

I've met quite a few people from here IRL. I can't remember everyone, but most notably was FINALLY meeting Leesa (again...don't ask) for the first time after speaking to her for 6 years. Then there's that crazy Matt guy who really is awesome. And BOOBS!...even though she's been gone for a LONG time. And Cindi! Fun times with Cindi.

Oh and I'm not nearly as horrible as some people would like to believe. I'm just blunt.

I'm Daina. I'm 29 and I live in Auckland, New Zealand.

The only concert I've ever been to was Elton John/Billy Joel's Face2Face Tour (embarrasing as that is to admit). Had a choice between going to see Linkin Park or Hinder at one point and chose Hinder... only to have them cancel their NZ show. Nice.

Aside from that, to borrow a line from Breaking Benjamin... "I don't know what I want to be yet" I spent four years working in Early Child Care before becoming somewhat disenchanted with other staff members (mostly the boss).

My friends refer to me as 'the professional friend - always there when you need her'. In other words, I have no life... which gives me plenty of time to obsess over Shinedown

Hey in my defense I really don't like math. The accounting course I'm taking consists of using a calculator and a laptop.

Besides, how can you not trust someone who knows that 2+2=5?

Hey I am Morid and I hate fish.

Hey! I'm 23 years old and come from a little town in Germany. I saw Shinedown last October on their tour with Disturbed and I'm looking forward to seeing them next month when they come here again.

I'm a pretty new member to these boards so I think this topic is a great idea... While reading the posts you always think that all people know each other.

Matt,20, Communications(broadcast) major. Will graduate in may of '10 thankfully. Live in NC but family is in TX. If you ever see me at the show I'm the crazy guy in the front with the people behind me about 2-3 feet away.annnnnd I met my lady at a SD show so thats pretty swell. I've met some cool people at shows. Yeps thats me i suppose

Then you would just love the Research Methods class I am just starting. Looking at areas of communications and looking at all sides of it getting qualitative and quantitative data, and statistically analyzing it to come to conclusions as to what the people really want...

*looks for the nearest cliff*
