Default Security varies from venue to venue.

Last year Dean was the head of Security for FM,

he made sure that the Local Security knew what the Mac would allow,

it appears that there is no one in charge of Security for Stevie other than the Local Lads,

each individual venue has their own standards, usually they are on the offensive,

you have to read the situation before you make any move,

at Turning Stone I scoped out the situation before, and during the show, and timed my advance to the stage to avoid the surge, with little interference from Security, despite the fact that I am huge,

I dont push, I dont block,

I usually get pushed, &, blocked,

I have made it to the stage 100% of the time when attempted,

at Turning Stone I was in Section 31, Row F, Seats 1, & 2, (great room package deal seats), dead centre on the isle, terrific view, great sound,

but I had to get to the stage to touch those "small ungloved hands", (......have not washed hands yet......)

made it to the stage right in front of Sharon, &, Lori, ("......Hello Ladies........hello G......you again....."),

then when Stevie did the Edge Walk thing, the anticipation was almost too much, watching her approach with no gloves,

thank goodness the H1N1 Pandemic was cancelled,

for all the other fans who were successful in making contact, well done,

Oh, btw, someone, (crew member), told me that Stevie's tour next year will include the Great White North...........(c'mon up y'all),

Hopefully, Security at Foxwoods will be accomodating tonight..........

good luck all,
