We sit in a booth right in front of the area but it was facing the other way. I was not that excited about getting my photo with the band. I hate getting my photo taken. About a half hour later Jess Nicks was speaking but I could not hear a word that he said. I could see Mick and Lindsey at the door. I tried to take a few photos. Then the whole band heads over to the photo area. I was trying to take photos but I did not have that much film left. I was not too happy. I should have taken more with me. I am in shock because the whole band is right there almost right in front of me. I looked over at Lindsey and he looked like he was thrilled to be there .His face kind of changed and he smiled when he spotted me. I did not make eye contact with him at all the rest of the night. Jan and Christie were sitting next to us. We had plans to take their pictures when they went up and then they would take ours when it was our turn.
Jan and Christie go up and get their photo taken with the band. I try to take their photo. Janine and I finally decide to go up now. We get in the roped off area and this mean guy says to us” THAT’S IT NO MORE PHOTOS!!!” Janine tells the mean guy that we paid for this and we did not get our photos. A few people in back of me are complaining that they did not get theirs either. The mean guy did not care. Finally the guy says OK this is the last one. I notice that my cover-up lace top has come undone. I did not have time to fix it because we just got shoved into the photo area. Janine goes in front of me and heads toward Stevie. I see John McVie to my left and he says “hi”. I just say a friendly “hello” to him. He seemed really nice. I wish that I had more time to talk to him. I go and try to hug Stevie. I just go up to her like I am at an Italian wedding. LOL. She kind of puts her are around me and she asks (I think the mean guy) “is this the last one” I was like um gee Stevie thanks for saying HI. NOT!! So we pose for our 2 photos and I have my arm around Stevie. I really hope that I did not have my hand where it did not belong. After she said thanks for coming and nice to meet you. I just said yeah-OK thank you. I was not too happy with the whole Stevie meeting.
Then it happened!! This was the big one. I saw Lindsey standing there and he looked a little lost. I wanted to say hello after all of the interaction that I have had with him on stage on this tour. I had no idea what to say to him and I had no idea what he would think. He might run away from me.
Well, I was one step from getting kicked out of the area so I was quick. This all happened so fast but I will never forget it.
I went up to him and just said a friendly, casual “Hi”. Well, he looked around to see who said hi and when he saw me that was it. He looked at me like I was an angel that just came down from heaven. He had a surprised look on his face and his mouth opened. His blue eyes were just looking at me and he was frozen and just speechless. His eyes sparkled and he was kind of smiling and his mouth was kind of half open. LOL I think that he was totally shocked that I said Hi to him and I was so casual about it. He seemed like he was star-struck. I wanted to say ‘hey I should be looking at you like this”. Well, I was so freaked out by his reaction that I did not say anything else. He wouldn’t have heard a word that I said anyway. I was being thrown out of the area, too.
I can just see the 2 of us staring into each other’s blue eyes; LOL That’s something that I will never forget

Thanks for posting! I was very curious
