only 3??? that is a brutal request.  this has been a big year for me following GPN. i have to up it to at least 10.  here goes:

#10... 7-5-10, the entire show (Aspen Co). nothing overly epic, more of a personal thing.
 #9...  7-6-10, simliar to my #10. my first GPN show at Red Rocks.  Pretty sure Cat and Benny can say the same (first of many).
 #8...  8-7-10, the Tiny Light with the new extended jam and "Something that I Want" lyrics
  #7... 8-19-10, epic free show at Bryant Park.  Grace recorded for television and absolutely makes the most of it.  best "Heart of Glass" to date. the whole show nocn hard.
  #6...11-12-10...Grace releases the acoustic video of the new twist on an old gem "Something That I Want" for the movie Tangled.
  #5...12-5-10, the DIVA broadcast.  Grace blows us all away and has become a superstar.  "Paris" is the clear game changer, but watch that "Medicine" and u see a woman possesed.  she officially has the medicine everybody wants.
  #4...12-6-10,  the GPN album hits #1 on i-tunes.
  #3...4-23-10, My first show and the spell has been cast. my one way ticket to luceville is apparently non-refundable.
  #2...10-28-10, "Things I Never Needed" AND "Take My Breath Away" played at the same show while i am in attendance. this was my peak of the year,  I almost didnt go to this show and it is still the most special one i have seen. 
  
 I have left a ton out here and still plenty of GPN 2010 to go...but it's not even a question what my #1 GPN moment of 2010 was.  hands down it was 8-8-10, Grace Potter dancing right next to me in the audience during the Blues and Lasers set at the Chicken Box.  That is about as loose as it gets right there, and i was loving every moment of it.  i am certainly not expecting to stumble upon that scenario again  anytime soon.

"year of the noc" it has been a great one.  thanks to all and really my #1 is miles above all the GPN moments-it has been meeting all of the other fans, both virtually and in the flesh-this band absolutely has the coolest and most diverse fan base of any band i have ever known.  holiday cheers and happy new year to all
