This one I believe is from one of the shows they played at the Ventura Concert Theatre in July 1998. Do you remember the exact date of this one too? Thanks for sharing these pictures yes luis, i have all my ticket stubs. you'll hear some of the dates on the second podcast, i think. the ventura theater dates were july 28 and 29, 1998 w/ homegrown. poo poo pee pee tour. i went to both but i only took pics on one night (green music man; above). i do not know which. the SOMA dates were october 24 and 25, 1998. poo poo pee pee tour. first time travis played SOMA. i took pics on both nights, but do not know which is which. for one night mark is wearing a light blue shirt (above). for the other he is wearing a dark blue shirt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mystery solved davey! That green music man picture is from July 29th 1998 (as a source I have another picture of that same day of the band doing a meet & greet just before the gig and Mark and Travis are wearing the same clothes (Ernie Ball shirt and visor hat for Mark and same snapback and shirt for Travis) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean I was one of the last ones in my class to get one, but even then I'd say it was like 12 or 13 you'd get a cell back in 2001-2004. Nowadays it's like you buy your kid one at 6 years old.
