The crazy lady holding that sign was, of course, my faithful concert companion. Next thing I knew, there we were, splashed up on all three jumbo-tron screens. That would have been enough for us both, but Mayer took it to a whole new level, going off on a slight tangent about the sign. He said that there were two possibilities:--that
she was indeed having his baby that night and they they had met before.
He said that was entirely possible; after all, "this is rock 'n' roll."
He laughed and added that any romantic interactions with fans stay
above the waist.
--that
she had somehow learned how to compact a nine-month gestation into a
single night and would be getting pregnant and giving birth all in the
same night.

After that, he went right into Cat's favorite song, Good Love is on the Way. She leaned over and told me she needed something because she thought she was going to have a nervous breakdown. The next song....I Don't Need No Doctor. I don't think we could have scripted it better ourselves.
I think that any sanity we had left surely left us after that moment. We sang and danced for the duration of the show, having such a blast. I also snapped away as many photos as I could. The faces he makes are always priceless.

It was very exciting that he did My Stupid Mouth, both because I love the song and because he hasn't done it in concert in ages. Slow Dancing in a Burning Room and Clarity made for a great encore. I don't love Neon, but it was better than Your Body is a Wonderland. I hate Wonderland and he sang it during both encores of the shows we saw in February.
Overall, a completely and utterly fantastic evening. I also must commend the city of Cincinnati for making it so easy to get in and out, even with all the concert traffic.

I also must mention that I took tons of pictures. The full set can be found on flickr. The funniest thing is that in the few days following the concert, I've been getting messages from tons of people at the concert, wanting to buy prints of my pictures. Pretty cool.
