The most amazing night in El Paso....

[DrummerDeanna]

Well I just got back from the El Paso show, and I gotta say I feel like I floated all the way home....

I was lucky enough to be in the front row...my sister was in the 11th and Jake was in the 12th..and both said there were some sound issues....but it sounded perfect to me....

Okay..this is just a sort of my experience thing..Jake said he'd get more into the music details

So...I was right in front of Stevie, which was great...but when the concert started only me and one other person stood...and we were the only ones by the stage, Stevie winked at the girl and then just smiled at me....then security asked us to sit down....

Now..unfortunately NO ONE in the front row was standing..at least not on Stevie's side...so I was there standing alone...dancing my feet off...then I felt bad so I sat a little...but kept popping up....AND....there were NO blondes in the front row...SO...I made myself as visible as possible..and since I seemed to be only one of a few people with a pulse in the front row I got a LOT of eye contact with Lindsey..including one point when he looked right at me...and I Just started laughing I was SO happy..then he chuckled and looked away....

Another person I actually interacted with a lot was Brett Tuggle lol....I made a face at him...then he made it back...and thus started our concert fun...I was excited...

Geez this is probably so sorted but so much happened tonight....OK...Lindsey got down on his side of the stage to let people touch his guitar etc...so I ran over there...grabbed a hold of his leg and played his guitar...then returned to my seat on Stevie's side...well then he came over there bent down again and I did the exact same thing...only this time I looked up into his face and smiled...THEN he stood up and stayed there for the rest of the solo...smack dap in front of me!!!! IT was SOOOO incredible...

Okay...as per other posts on here I decided to make a little "John Rulz" sign....here's the adventure of that:

I held it up toward the end and John saw it...he winked and nodded at me and made some sort of odd gesture...that was that...THEN a little later he looked at me and made a little frame with his hands...and I held it up again and he motioned for me to like put it on the stage...but I didn't...SO....then World Turning starts...and after that Mick introduced everyone...when he got to John I held up my little sign and Mick pointed and me and said, "OH look...they love you John!" lol....so that was that...I ended up smack dap in front of Stevie for Goodbye Baby...and the concert was over...

BUT....as they are bowing I meant to stand my little sign on the stage, but it fell between the big speaker and the stage...gone...so the house lights come up but I loitered around for a bit...and some crew guy comes out and is like..." HEY WHERE"S THE GIRL WITH THE SIGN!?!" hahaha...so I'm like..."RIGHT HERE!" and he says, "WHERE"S THE SIGN?" So I tell him that I dropped it, showed him where and he says, "Ok...these are from John..." and he handed me two picks!!!! And I said, "Are these John's?!?" and he was like, "Yeah...we're gonna fish the sign out...." LOL....SOOO

So then my sister, Jake and I are walking to my car and we come across the area where all the limos are waiting so we loitered around there for a bit...and here comes John...so I yell..."HEy!! Thanks for the Picks...I had the sign...!!!" Then he waved...and as his car passed by he rolled down his window and waved and said "Thanks" or something....Stevie was rolling up the window to her limo as she passed us so we didn't see her...and Lindsey just sort of slipped into his limo and never even rolled his window down.....


OK....so....as far as the concert goes...it was amazing..Stevie was just totally energized and she just kicked some ASS...and she made a cute speech about living in El Paso at which Lindsey looked at her funny and mouthed, "I didn't know that" and Stevie mouthed back, "Yes you did" haha..it was cute....

Okay...I feel like I'm leaving a bunch out...but this is long enough and late and I'm dead tired....and my throat hurts from all the screaming...hahaha..but damn....this was one amazing show....
