I think Holly described them the
best: ~
Exhibit
A- Flip Stick 7-27-02 Tossed during What If, forever known
as "The Flip Stick Song" :: Points out various splinters
and wood fragments ::
Exhibit
B- Flip Stick 8-2-02 Stick battled in the pit over. Everyone
else was on the floor, except for our fearless stick lady
Belinda who triumphed above all and held onto stick for dear
life.
Exhibit
C- Flip Stick 8-7-02 The 3rd stick, but oh so precious. Handed
to the Stick Master by the Flipster himself- THUD - It's true,
she is the master of Flip Sticks.
Your
Honor, I do not rest my case as of yet. The Stick Master still
has
more shows to attend, therefore, there may be more exhibits
to add.
COURT ADJOURNED

EXHIBIT
D- Flip Stick 8/24/02: The fourth and final stick of Belinda's
Creed Summer Tour 2002." Hershey, PA. Held up a sign for Flip,
regarding a very "special day." He saw it several times during
the show, mouthed "Thank you" to me twice, and at
the end of the show, after the encore, he walked towards me
and attempted to throw it. I waved my arms frantically to
get him *NOT* to throw it, because people were alllllll up
on my butt, trying to get it, and I knew I never would . He
smiled...seemed to catch my drift...and proceeded to walk
over to the corner of the catwalk, where he could reach and
personally handed me the stick. Ahem. :::THUD:::

~ SOOO, Your Honor...Now, I rest my case. ~ ~
WHOA!! HOLD UP!!
11/19/02 ~ CASE REOPENED!!!
I
think it's safe to say I was really excited to hear that
the boys were coming back to the Bryce Jordan Center at
Penn State (PSU), especially after they had such a rough
time out West. I hadn't been to a show since SPAC on 8/31/02,
so I was ready for a 'Creed fix'...the girls met up at the
hotel late Monday night... we partied until the weeeeeeee
hours of the morning....and then Carol and I went straight
over to PSU about 6:30am...that's right...no sleep...whatsoever...completely
insane...froze our BUTTS off...but well worth it for what
I thought was my final Creed show for 2002... Anyway...twelve
hours later, my bootie was on the rail right in the front
corner by Brett...EXACTLY where I love to be. Kelly was
right along side of me... So...umm... it was an interesting
show to say the least...Stapp said, 'Fuck'....buahahaha....but
I'll save the rest of that for my 'review'... Anyway....end
of the show...Flip threw the first stick out over to Mark's
side...and then walked RIGHT over to me and ...
>>BAM POW<<
Belinda got 'FlipStick #5'....He actually saw my picture
at SPAC of all four of my sticks and he had even recognized
that one of them was never used...oooh...I wonder if he
gave me the white one intentionally...to....expand my collection
or something... awww....I dunno...probably not, but let
me be, wouldja huh?!?!?! lol ANYWAY...He walked away and
I looked down at the stick and saw that it wasn't the 'customary'
Kit Tools signature model....major 'O-Face' on ME!! So,
when he came back over...I held it up and pointed to the
'Vic Firth' label...and I said, "What's up with THIS?!?!"
He just smiled...and said, "It's new..." He said
something else after that...but dammit all to hell...I missed
it. :::sighhh::: Anyway...Thank you, thank you, thank you,
thank you for #5, Flip...it's just as special as the very
first!!
Update: 4/21/03 ~ I finally got my hands on a dvd copy of
the PSU show that I went to on 11/19/02. You should KNOW that
the very first thing I did was make video stills of me getting
my STICK at the end of the show~!!

Vic Firth sticks he ever handed out at the end of a show...!!
And

12 Stones...You rock, too, Aaron!!
And
finally...this is the guitar pick that Brett threw
out from the end of the catwalk when he read the
"Brett--You're a Brother of Mine" sign that Holly & I had..
