As I said yesterday I was tweeting to Train and Butch Walker for a couple of days trying to find out who was opening for the Train gig. I never got a reply, not surprisingly, they are rock stars after all and I am nobody. After the gig and finding out there was an opening act for Train's Sunday show I got annoyed and tweeted again... only more pissy. Yeah it wasn't all that mature but I wanted to know.
@train answer me please why Foxwoods had no opening band. Loved Train but would have liked to see Butch too
@butchwalker and again, why answer a puney fan but why no opening bands at Foxwood. Just curious..
Like I said mature... but it worked I got this reply from Train:
@LauraBlue24 Casino resorts limit the length of a show. They would rather you gamble! So, openers at casinos are rare.
Interesting that Train answered the tweet to Butch. I buy the answer but Rob Thomas had two opening band at Mohegan Sun, also a casino. Mohegan Sun has an arena, bigger and more set up for bands. Foxwoods has a theater, or should I say theatre. Don't know if that is the difference just a thought.
So I replied:
@train thanks for the reply, thought it might be that....something to remember. You rocked for sure
Just thought I would let you all know what I found out since I am sure you were on the edge of your seats wondering.
I am off to watch The 2010 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony on my DVR. Rob Thomas and Pat Monahan are both on the show. :-)

I don't tweet, but think that's the cool part about tweeting. You never know who's goign to reply.
omagosh. are you gonna save and frame that tweet? i would!!!
nice. cool that they responded...
Very cool. I am still a tweet virgin.
Nice that you actually got a response.
Love that you got a reply. I think Rob Thomas is great and very talented.
i hardly tweet, but how cool to have gotten a responce.
Good to know - thanks!
Has the "Hall Of Fame" already taken place ??
Interesting that the Hall of Fame inductions are in NY, when the actual Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame is in Cleveland. I don't really get it...
Now I can carry on with the rest of my day ;-)
I do love me some Rob Thomas!!!
Very cool ! :-)
Ummmmm, sooooo, can you send a tweet and tell Def Leppard's lead singer Joe Elliott that I want to make out with him? Thanks!
;)
I don't know who opens for Train, but it's usually followed by Caboose.
You're welcome.
well don't get too big for me. kkkk
So that's the secret to getting a rock star to reply!
Oh man, sooo jealous! Have fun!
So this is pretty much EXACTLY why I love Twitter. I've gotten some VERY random people to reply back to me...although somehow I've obtained a following of porn authors. I literally have no idea HOW that happened. But one of the glories of the internet...you never know when you might get a response, no matter how much dripping in BS it is. Have fun at the Hall of Fame. You're making me into a redonkulous Train fan.
This totally makes me want to start tweeting again!
Oo very cool.
I love Twitter.
