The second half of the first leg was really fun. It had gone from somewhat Serious FM to a much more fun, personal encounter with them. And I do remember one of our first front row experiences. I was with a friend and we got front row in Philadelphia. And we were standing b/w Stevie and Lindsey (which was a real tennis match, at times). I believe this was the second Philly show at the Wachovia (which was the FU at the time)...because that first show we were ALL the way back in second row (we all got so spoiled by that stuff, it's not even funny).
My friend sort of nudged me because you could clearly see Leelee and Will at the side of the stage. Leelee, in particular, seemed fascinated by Stevie's Gold Dust shawl and we were fascinated with her because she was adorable. Will was very serious and quiet. But, then they left mid-way through, if memory serves.
Later, I was singing along to something...and I had definitely been looking more at Stevie at that point than Lindsey, I will admit. It was only my second ever time at the stage and I was just awestruck and taking in all the little details you take in when you're up there--like exactly what those funky beads look like on her mic stand, her jewelry, her really rather ratty looking fishnets, the goodness that was the Granny Sweater. Anyway, I was singing along to something and screwed up the words. And I looked at Lindsey and he was laughing...right at me. And I laughed, and he laughed a bit harder. It was my first Lindsey moment (sigh). Later..my friend was warned about her camera so...what does a good FM fan do...but slip the camera to someone else to take pictures. Namely, me. And Lindsey was trying to stand as still as he ever does and look in our direction but I kept messing up and snapping at the wrong moment. I kept thinking...I'm certainly not doing anything to dispel the dumb blond myth.
It was great fun.
