Wow, lots of replies!
Clearly you have all been having better luck than me, still theres always next time.
One thing I have managed, is to get spattered with the fake blood that gets slung up in to the air and on to the crowd. Its really sticky pink stuff. Didn't want to wash my head, face, pumps etc afterwards

This is true. You're all very lucky.

Think i fought Sparky for this @ Bournemouth? Only finally getting it coz it was for Kai (just checked his bedroom & yes it's there)[/quote]
Yes, it was Bournemouth and I did the decent thing and let go LOL!
(Actually I just didn't want to get clobbered by Ravenred...
)

Other thing that I have that's a bit different is the "LAS VEGAS - NEVADA" place name prompt from the stage. From Vegas, obv. Duh.

That's a "proper" spattering there!
I am glad I never got that "bloodied", but I got some drops sometimes. Last year was when Calico gets "attacked".
Made me think of what I wrote in my review last year on my blog:
Alice was so close with the « Billion Dollar Sword », on our side he could lean out further out, because he could lean on the speakers to do so, I could almost, almost touch the tip of the sword! [oh! And as I type this, Alice is playing « Billion Dollar Babies » on the radio!!! Coincidence?]
« Cold Ethyl » really made me chuckle, when I started my current job 15 years ago I would always hear that song in my mind, when I put the dead animals in the freezer (I work in a natural history museum) and by coincidence (again?) the taxidermist came yesterday morning to collect the frozen bodies. Refrigerator Heaven anyone?
Got duly splattered in blood when Alice cuts Calico's throat, oh bliss! Er... whatever. Just seeing a forgotten drop on my forearm this morning triggered the song in my head. Fun!

I think you might have, can't remember - tho looking at it, the shot was done head on so it might have been a quick self-snap - tho I remember you taking a photo also, but to get at that angle you woulda had to stand right infront of me lol.
It was a hell of a gig! Good venue (despite lack of barrier).

No, that was the setlist. Which did get passed on.

I got a little spatter too in '05 and yes, I've got the paper napkin I wiped with!
I was so close to a whole diamond strand at the first '08 show in Vancouver. Alice was right in front of me, making eye contact, so I really played it up with the pleading. He held 'em out, then threw to the right and left, flashed me a beautifully evil grin and walked away!
(sigh) Oh well, the one-on-one contact was worth it!

I have 2 canes, a riding crop, a DD necklace, several bills, a whole SO balloon, a drumstick Alice used to "conduct" the band during Halo of Flies.....and I think that is it.

Zoogirl, I know the feeling I always have this when the dollars are being "distributed" love the "teasing game". But last year was the first time I actually caught two dollars in mid-air!

I had nothing until the show a few days ago.
Chuck and Keri both handed me a pick each, Alice shook off dollar bills right infront of me. And I got a dirty diamonds' necklace (as Alice was waving the whole pile above me, one just dropped on the stage rignt infront of me)
And after the show I pulled the set list from next to Keri's Mic
All that from one show, great

After reading a couple of the "close shaves" on here with flying objects I am surprised that the over zealous Health and Safety Executive in the UK have not demanded a seventeen page "risk assesment" about the throwing of objects from the stage. The way things are going I wouldn't be surprised to see drummers being banned from throwing sticks; guitarists from slinging picks and Alice from showering diamonds because there isn't enough cotton wool to wrap everyone up in!!!!

LOL! Love it when that happens! Which part of the show did the fake blood feature in, by the way?
