"How many times have you seen them?"

Asked Sarah (about Over the Rhine), at Taste of Cincinnati last weekend. I think I'll try and count. Here goes:

• That free concert at Eden Park when I was in junior high.
• That free concert at Xavier when I was in college (with Faith).
• That free concert at Taste of Cincinnati. Chris and his mom; Mike, Elena, and Sophia; and Sarah. 2007.
  
• That Little Brothers concert with Sarah & Faith & friends
• That Little Brothers concert with Kate
• That Little Brothers concert where Lissa used my ticket because I was stuck in Cincinnati because of snow.
  
• That Canal Street show where we couldn't get in because Melissa forgot her ID.
  It was in the car on the way home from this one that Faith introduced me to Enter the Worship Circle.
  
• That Canal Street show where we sat on the hard benches. Kelly came to this one.
  
• That Canal Street show where we sat on the hard chairs next to the hard benches. I think this was the one where the real opener didn't show up and some guy filled in.
  
• That Canal Street show where we sat at the white tables and Kim Taylor was the opener. 2005?
  
• That Canal Street show where we sat at the white tables and Trent Wagler was the opener. 2006?
  
• That Canal Street show where we sat at the white tables and Ellery opened. That was earlier this year with Brecka. Steve's friends brought us barbecue to eat while we waited in line. 2007
  
• That Christmas show where we sat on the floor and my family came. There were a bunch of openers.
• That Christmas show where we sat on the floor and not all my family came. Griffin House opened, with somebody else, too.
• That Christmas show where we sat in the balcony. I think Kim Taylor and the lady who sang the sandal song opened. Faith was at this one. Christmas 2005?
  
• Christmas 2006. They had the audience sing a Christmas carol. It was good.
  
• That show at the Music Mill in Indianapolis. 2005?
  
• That show at Moonlight Gardens. 2005?
  
• That show at Southgate House with Kate and Faith.
• That show at Joseph-Beth with Kristin, Erin, Dean, and two friends whose names I can't remember. 8/30/2007.
  
• That show at Moonlight Gardens for the Trumpet Child album launch with Faith, Susanna, and Beth; Brecka and Drew; Dave and Krista; Kate; Steve and Sarah. 8/31/2007.
• The 2007 Christmas Show at the Taft Theater with Brecka, Drew, Joe, Chris. Faith & Mike were there, too. 12/15/2007.
• Canal Street w/ Joe. Sometime springish 2008.
• Christmas Show 2008: The first decade. With Joe, Brecka, Jennifer, Josh, & Hope.
• Christmas Show 2008: The second decade. With Joe, Brecka, Drew, Sarah, & Joe's friend James.
• St. Elizabeth's Christmas 2008. With Joe, Faith, & Mike. We stood back behind the coffee bar and got to meet Chuck the coffee-guy.
  

I don't think this list is quite right, but you get the idea... :)

Oops - I forgot one:

• That album-launch show (for Drunkard's Prayer) where Karen dressed up like a chicken for April fools. 20th Century Theater.

If I count correctly, the current estimated total is: 24
