I had such a GREAT!!! (think Tony the Tiger! ) time.

It was so good to meet all the Ledgies and of course to party with Livia again. I am always so amazed to meet people based solely on their personality in type only.

I got to the hotel in Dallas at around noon, had lunch, worked out for two and one-half hours (I need to lose that last 20-30 pounds ), and then joined darklinensuit (this is when he played the joke on me ) and Livia at the pool. I then got dressed and went to the bar downstairs at about 4:00. I got a cosmo and literally almost knocked Mick over walking outside with it. Then, I saw Sharon and wished her well ("break a leg") for the concert. I also chatted with Taiku (sp.?) for awhile. What a nice guy. Then, I went upstairs and changed into my long pants for the concert and headed to the bar yet again On the way upstairs I chatted with Mick for a second and told him to have a great time at the concert because I was certain I would.

It was so great to have about six or seven ledgies in the bar partying before the concert! I had a BLAST!!!

The concert was great. I sat next to fun people and had a blast. Highlights for me were

Eyes of the World (SN just rocks on this)

GDW (when she did the pose at the end the large and sensibly 9sp.?) dressed girl next to me goes "She looks like she's taking a sh^T! I know its gross but it was hysterical at the time because she was squatting!

Stand Back (You twirl baby)

ISA (always amazing)

SS (she yelled a little and the whole crowd seemed to be singing along - she changed the ending "You Could be my . . . " to a staggered almost arpegio esq (sp.?) type thing that totally worked)

Beautiful Child (I just had to cry a river on this one and she changed the ending to a little softer approach with seemingly one note)

After the concert, I hooked with the same ledgies; then, awhile later, I saw the limos leave. When I got back to the hotel I realized that perhaps I had been, as we say in the South, "overserved" and boycotted the bar, proceeded directly to my room, ordered room service, and watched Lord of the Rings - The Two Towers for like the 25th time!!!!

What a great time I had with everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Strand!!! Glad you had a great time! So you nearly plowed into Mick...lol...no "guests" in the bar this time? And the comment about GDW....lmao....
