We brought the Incredible Machine home tonight to the place where it all started: Philips Arena, where Jennifer and Kristian rehearsed two years ago for everything you've seen on the road since. So it's only appropriate that tonight's hometown show featured plenty of end of tour pranks no one could have planned for.
Full list of shenanigans (NOW WITH VIDEO!) after the jump, so come along, won't you?

You were feelin' Talla-sassy, Tallahassee, and we loved ya -- thanks for giving us a great life, and a great night!
In a strange turn of events, despite the fact that Jennifer is from Georgia, she had a lot of family here in Florida this evening... a few she didn't see coming. But the bigger surprise came from the Beecher Sisters, who brought a poster of Ms. Nettles in all her 1989 glory, with bangs like a waterfall. (The trick is, you curl them DOWN before you brush them UP.)
Some faves from the crowd: The gentleman in the western shirt and Mr. T mohawk spreading his arms wide when asked if he was feelin' sexy. The drunk cowboys lifting lighters to "Stand Up." And all of you who lifted a Little Miss Project Live sign in the air tonight, some 4,000 strong. As Jennifer put it from stage, thank you for honoring us... and honoring yourselves. It WILL be all right again, no matter your story. Believe in hope.

We can't believe it's the first show of the last full weekend on the Incredible Machine Tour, but we're so glad we could spend it with you, Orlando! Never did make it to your Harry Potter theme park -- save us some butterbeer for next time? -- but you were better than any ride they coulda built, and we loved looking out at all your smiling faces tonight, all the way to the rafters. As Jennifer put it during the encore, you were SO much fun.
A special shout-out to the "Pink Brigade" in the Sugarpit, whose tutus and feather boas caught Jennifer's eye. "Is this a bachelorette party?" she asked. "Or breast cancer awareness?" When the ladies gave a thumbs up to that, Jennifer dropped what's probably the quote of the tour: "We love boobies! And we hate cancer!" You're free to borrow that for bumper stickers, t-shirts, what have you. We think it pretty much sums things up.
Were you here on this magical night in the Orlando Kingdom? We want to hear all about it, so use the comments and the forum to write your concert reports. Tell us about your evening! And save the boobies!
