That was a fun one, wasn't it? We were just standing there like we had just discovered the New World or something.

Back in the good old days when Stevie did new material;-)

We really must do it again sometime!

Best... every show I have been to at the Borgata because all of my friend and I end up getting awesome seats up front and all together

Worst...for concerts in General...when I get singled out to sit down because I am tall. now I am 6 foot 4 and I will be considerate and sit (EVEN THOUGH IT KILLS ME!) if everyone else is sitting around me. but when everyone else is standing and I get yelled at because I am tall that just bites the big one! I try my best to slouch down and stuff to be nice and all... one time when I finally got up to the front of the stage for the Edge walk, this lady asked me if I would move from against the stage so she could be against the stage instead because I was so tall...I felt bad, but I said no because I did pay for a front row seat in that case and I was ready all night to pounce at the very spot that I had gotten at the stage!

That was many moons ago. Back when you could get backstage fairly easily. I was lucky enough to get backstage several times both solo and mac. I have a few things signed, but never had a camera to get our pic together. I have to dig out the mac photos. I have pics with everyone but Christine and Stevie. Just never worked out. There is a thread about my *cringe* lamp meeting in here someplace. Have to see if it is still here.


Here it is with much more interesting ones:

best- last year I flew to Albuquerque. Had front row seats, and my dad made friends w/security, so a group of about 5 of us were the only ones allowed to dance at la nicks' feet all night. And touch her hand. And later that night, a security guy called to say he got me Stevie's actual setlist.

worst-chastain this year. 3rd row seat and security man handled us, so no edge rush.

My worst was at Chastain for the third Atlanta SYW show. We had like fifth row center and right as Rhiannon started, our security guy told us it was okay to rush the stage - so we did, esp. considering the first five rows were basically empty. I was the only one singled out to leave of the 50 or so that rushed the stage. The security guard was a fukcing a$$hole and Stevie people got onto him about removing people (read ME - the only fukcing one) from the lip of the stage. So, I guess that was cool that as she was singing "all the same, all the same, baby all the same" she obviously saw them treating only me like cr@p and told her security to do something about it.

The best was in Baton Rouge for the RAL tour when she nearly fell on top of me because I was holding her hand when the crowd pushed me down. Her ring nearly came off in my hand and I let her hand go and she said something like she was sorry as I fell. It was WAY intense.

It is where excrement extrudes from Atlantans. I fukcing HATE it!

The thing is the City of Atlanta runs it, which means it has been neglected for a decade or longer. The neighborhood HATES it because of the traffic, though the vast majority of people moved there knowing it was there and what goes on. Finally, the security staff is volunteer, so they could give shiitte and IMO enjoy their little pseudo power trip.

HATE IT HATE IT HATE IT.

And, the thing is, with a little effort by the city and a little bending by the neighborhood association, it could be one of the nicer venues in the South as it is in the middle of the city in a lovely park.
