Ft. Lauderdale kicked major @$$!!

[Songbird4]

Just got back from the ODC show and Stevie rocked!! So there was a little confusion between Stevie's security and venue security. Venue security was told that after 4 songs they could let the first 4 rows up to the stage. Well, Raul flipped out when everyone headed for the stage after 4 songs. He let the venue security have it, but they said they already told us that we could stay. So our third row seats turned into front row, elbows on stage!!

Vanessa was great again. She sounds just like she does on the radio!! Stevie was all smiles again loving the crowd. Stevie was very talkative tonight. Told us basically the same story about Circle Dance, although added that she had found out that it was written about Bonnie and her dad, and when she heard that she burst into tears and said that she needed to perform it. Then she made a comment about how she actually followed through on something that she said she was going to do.

During the intro to HAEWATFY she talked about how she was complaining about how bad her life was, but then she realized that she shouldn't be complaining because her life has always been fabulous.

Band intros Stevie comment about meeting Jimmy's mom and said she must have been 7 when she had him. And she asked Brett if he was tired from the 135 Fleetwood Mac shows and Brett did a itty bitty space between his index and thumb. Jana she says half of the 135 dates. And said that Sharon cracks the whip, then Stevie pretended to crack a whip and Jana pretended to be hit with the whip and was saying ouch.

During Stand Back she alluded to the almost crash after the high kick in Tampa. Landslide was dedicated to Raul, who will be leaving Stevie to go and tour with the Backstreet Boys, to which the crowd boooed. Landslide is officially The Cat Song and she said that she was being very chatty and proceeded to have her hands talk to eachother, then went on to say that she actually did have a cat that would just randomly show up on her back door, so the name actually did have some basis in reality.

The Edge walk was much shorter than the Tampa one b/c the stage was considerably shorter. Alex didn't hog Stevie tonight, so I was able to shake both her hands. She noticed that I was being smoshed and said to me, "You take care." Alex did get a hand shake, but not as long as Tampa, which he says lasted a life time (he is going to post a review tomorrow b/c he is really tired). Joy was able to sneek flowers into the venue past the Nazi security guards outside. Vanessa didn't come out for Rock and Roll. And when she came out for the bows, Stevie asked what happened to her and then asked where she was. I got to meet Suzanne and her daughter who were really sweet, and I also got to meet Julie2929 or Jules2929 (I'm sorry that I can't remember...it has been a long two days) who was very nice. I did get some picture, which I will attempt to post tomorrow night. I gotta head to bed b/c I have to work early in the am.
