I know a lot of you saw this already on myspace (I think I had 15 copies of the same bulletin when I checked last!) but I thought the rest of you should see it as well!


***** ***** ***** *
YOU KNOW YOU'RE OBSESSED WITH DAVE MATTHEWS BAND WHEN

*You have an odd obsession with the numbers 34, 36. 40, and 41.
*You refer to anybody in the band on a first name basis, people give you weird looks, then you explain.
*You've tried to excessively mimic that crazy ass dance he does at live shows.
*You do the eyebrow and facial type gestures that Dave does when singing a Dave song.
*You make your friends stop the radio on a Dave song when they're flipping channels, even if you know the song is already or almost over.
*You're friends advise you to play no Dave Matthews Band when they come around.
*You buy a brand new copy of Before These Crowded Streets because ONLY the Last Stop REPRISE skips.
*Only you know that you can hit, and for the most part hold, most of the notes that Dave can (ex. the end of Watchtower and Grey Street.)
*You feel light headed and woozy 5 minutes before DMB takes the stage at EVERY concert (and you are not drunk)
*You smoked weed for the first time because Dave does.
*You genuinely wept the first time you heard a song live
*You day dream about becoming rich when you are older so you can hire the band to play at your wedding, playing a set list completely devised by you.
*When you are at a concert and everyone around you thinks your psychic because you can tell what song it is by the combination of Dave's guitar, Stefan's bass, and what note Dave has his hand.
*When you are 100% certain your very first dance song at your future wedding is I'll Back You Up.
*When you have over 35 Dave Matthews Band articles of clothing.
*When your summer job revolves AROUND your DMB concerts.
*When you are drunk and you explain the meaning behind most every dave song.
*When you steal a city street sign that bears the name "grey street" and then when a new sign is replaced, you take that one too.

*You join a Dave Matthews Band MYSPACE group.
*You have so many MYSPACE groups, but only check and post on the DMB group.
*You're wandering through a department store when you hear "Satellite" (or another DMB song) come on over the speakers...you then stop in the middle of the aisle, start singing along, and claim to everyone who passes how this is your favorite band being played.
*You're pumping gas at a gas station and your favorite DMB song comes on the loudspeaker radio and you forget what you're doing and leave the pump running while you call everyone you know to tell them Dave is on the radio.
