Attention Fifth Element Fans,
Thanks for your participation in the Fifth Element Live Text-Message-BLOG for the April 24 Concert! It was a lot of fun for me to sit through the concert sifting through the text messages. Now you can relive your concert experience (well...my concert experience) by reading all of the text messages that I received! As tempting as it was, I didn't correct any of your spelling/grammar. I did not do any of my own blog entries at the time, but you will find some of my commentary in [brackets] below. Enjoy!

8:55 kara Alex collie knows how to get LOW
8:56 Renae This song just makes Edward cullen 10 times hotter. :)
8:56 Anonymous53 Frank is my mom's favorite. Seriously.
8:57 laura kay I am curious... Is tim crazy for wearing a sweater in front of 100 degree lights? [Editor's note: The lights themselves are probably quite a bit hotter than that...resulting in conditions on stage that may have felt like 100 degrees.]
8:57 Lex & Megan Frank, AKA Edward Cullen, you really shouldn't dazzle people like that. It's not fair.
8:57 Anonymous36 I'll surrender to frank any day! Is he single?

9:02 Katy E. Oh and josh mathews looks like yanni.
9:02 Anonymous39 Its so cute how frank and nels urtel match!! [Editor's note: Interesting to me that this blogger didn't find it necessary to use Frank's last name, but that he/she wanted to be sure we weren't confusing Mr. Urtel with another Nels.]

9:14 Anonymous42 I think 5E needs to have a beat box contest with I-Men :) [Editor's note: No one loves Nikstad more than I do, but he'd have to throw together a hell of an army to compete with what we just saw. Bravo, friends.]
9:16 Anonymous43 Wow!

9:20 Ryan Cook I'm really glad Tom Anderson didn't just break his hip.
9:23 Sasha Ooo I want that one... [Editor's note: That was during the alumni section when the solos were moving really quickly. I think it was for Krukowski? Maybe Ross or Strayer? We'll never know....]
9:23 Anonymous48 Maybe nels should stick to singing and not introduce the wrong song twice

9:25 brittany v Could they please just let us know whos single...That would make this a lot easier...
9:26 Anonymous49 The first time I met joe, he sang me ‘a whole new world in oakridge at 3 in the morning. Yeah... [Editor's note: You aren't special. He did the same thing to me, and he never called me again.]
9:26 Kelley S. Dan Sinclair rocks my world! ~your loving wife
