Margaux, what a crack up. I could never do a set list after a show, I'm
always in a daze

haha, that's a good one (actually happened to me, thankfully there were videos on youtube to help me remember   )

I'm always TIBO-ing. I think I've done well and then someone mentions something and I'm like "huh????". I can't ever remember the whole show but I'm getting better. Practice makes perfect, right?!?

I know I've been known the TIBO. Duing the Avalon show, one of my friends said she almost shook me because I was in a trance.

I have one they forgot: Taylor-crack -defined as an uncontrollable habit or addiction to know and experience everything Taylor, not limited to but including spending all your money going to Taylor concerts, spending all your free time on Taylor fan sites or Googling Taylor, listening to Taylor CDs constantly for months on end, and jamming your hard drive with pictures and videos of Taylor downloaded online. Fit anyone you know?

(yes, I raise my hand)

OMG - I am still in a state of TIBO from my Foxwoods M&G, and that has been MORE than 2 months ago!

Of course, taking pictures at any concert that Taylor does one would, understandably, be in a constant state of TIBO...
