Note from Kara, page admin: This was my first Emmet show. I'd never seen or heard the band before. I can remember that there was a huge crowd of people in front of the stage, singing along to every song and screaming "Clean Water! Clean Water!" (Some things never change, it seems.) After the show I bought Dark When the Snow Falls. I remember that there was a small crowd of people talking to Todd Watts through a chain link fence which separated the crowd from the "backstage" area. Some girls nearby, upon seeing Todd, shrieked, "Oh my God, it's Emmet Swimming!" in the most cliche valley-girl voice possible. My friend and I made fun of that for years to come... I certainly never expected to become the rabid fan I became in subsequent years as I saw the band again and again.
