Back home....
 

Well, no Vegas for me. We were well under way, happy, smiling and the care broke down!!!! We had a Honda Odyssey, very nice car, very comfy and we were driving along the I-5, almost into Oregon and the car just shut down, completely. We almost couldn't reach the shoulder. We called the rental company and waited for a few hours. They finally showed up and long story short, they drove us back to Seattle only to tell us that they didn't have another car available until tomorrow morning (the electrical system of our car was totally shot). But at that point it's too late for us to get to Vegas. They're going to reimburse us but it's gonna take awhile before we get that money otherwise I would've flown by myself. I am soooo pissed and that's an understatement. And still I'm gonna try to make it, I'll beg, steal or borrow, I don't care. I want to see Stevie so badly. It's been 18 years since I've seen her solo. Way too long.... I'm thinking about sueing the rental company, the mofo's. How can they give us an unsave car??? We could've been in an accident or worse. Man, I'm so effin' pissed, I'm ready to kill. But I'm not losing hope. I might still make it, if not I'll eat my ticket....

Man, I feel for you. I would be PO'd at the rental for giving you a car that could have had an electrical system fire.

As for trying to still make the show, My advice would be the same one of my close friends would say "Go for it - You only live once".

I'm soooo sorry. That is terrible. But I don't understand, can't you leave tomorrow morning and make the later in the week shows?

Thanks!!!! We might still go for it but Peg is pretty PO'd and she doesn't want a car from that company anymore. Plus the funds are pretty tight now :mad:

If I had tickets for the shows we would but I only have a ticket for the Wednesday show. That's all we could afford but I'm still checking TM and hoping for a (financial) miracle.....

Ohhhh, I thought you had other tix. :( That is weak. I feel so bad for you, if I could get you a ticket I would. :distress: You should sue the car people for intense pain and suffering, lol.

We're actually thinking about that. They put us in danger. But by the time we'll get any money Stevie's tour will be looooong over. Thank you for your sweet offer. Like I said, I'm praying for a miracle and drinking to one, I'm having a "stiff drink" lol.

Really sorry to hear about this Deb... and glad that you and Peg are ok! I hope you can make it to the show somehow!

So do I, sweetie.

Yes, we're ok,thank God. We had trouble reaching the shoulder but we made it and made it home safely. This sucks sooooo bad. Like Vanessa said: looks like a case of bad karma. Maybe it wasn't meant to be but I'm not giving up. I'll get there somehow.

Anyone want to lend me some money???? :lol:

oh wow...i'm sorry to hear you're back home. i know how much you were looking forward to seeing stevie :(

Thanks!!! I was really looking forward to it but bad luck got in the way (or bad karma). However, I'm not giving up, I might find a way to get there. Now, if everybody would send me 5 bucks, I'll be there in no time j/k :lol:
I'll find a way. I always do....

AAAARRGHHH Debbie, dat is KUT!

I hope you'll find another way....

Dat kun je wel zeggen: KUT MET PEREN!!!!

I hope so too, man. Like I said, I'm not giving up.....

Get off the computer and start thumbing a ride! :eek: :distress:

Sorry to hear about this... it sucks big time. But, there is still time...

good lawd. I'm so sorry to hear this. I really, really feel for you. and I'm holding out hope that you make it somehow.
