My Lindsey Buckingham experience

[DavidMn]

Well, Ive made it back to Minnesota and recvovered sufficiently to post my review of my weekend. Here goes.

10-20, Cleveland

I made my way to Cleveland with little difficulty and arrived at my friend Debbie's at about 9:00 AM. Needless to say I crashed and woke up at about 4:30. Debbie, er husband John and I went to a nice Italian resturant for dinner and Debbie and I got to the venue at about 7. The show was fantastic with Trouble and SMAP being highlights for me. After the show I met up with Theresa, Curtis and Paula and we decided to go to the Hardrock for aftershow merriment. When Debbie and I arrived, the rest of the guys hadnt arrived so I told Debbie lets go around the corner to the Ritz and see if anything's up. Sure enough we round the corner and there's Lindsey signing autographs for fans. We went up and I asked him if Debbie could have her picture taken with him. He obliged and I had one taken too. I was really happy for Debbie cause she'd never met him before. The whole gang had a great time at the Hardrock and It was alot of fun meeting Paula and Theresa fot the first time.


10-21, Cincinnati.

I made my way down to Cincinnati and got all checked in to my hotel and got downtown at about 5:30. I was able to snag a spot right across from the theater and park. Met Pattie standing outside at about 6:45 and we agreed to hang after the show. Once again the show was fantastic and he did Bwana which was really cool. Afterwards I met up with Pattie and we decided to go back to ehr hotel and hang out. Well we were relaxing in the lobby for about 20 min when the white van pulled up and Lindsey and the band got out. He saw us and came right over and sat down and the 3 of us chatted for about 2 min. One of the really cool things that happened is that his tour manager was standing off in the dietance and Lindsey said to him "You can go. These guys are ok." It was an incredible experience and I am totally indebted to Pattie fot it. Afterwards we hung out till about 3 AM and I treated her to her first Waffle House experience. . We really clicked as friends, what a sweet lady she is.


10-22, Detroit

I made my way up to Detroit and arrived at the venue at about 4:445 to miserably cold and rain. Of course this show was GA so we all had to hang out outside in the rain for 2 hours before the doors opened. BUt the show was again great, and I consider myself extremely lucky to have been able to experience another side of Lindsey's talent. I marvel at how at 57, he still has a great time and plays with such enthusiasm.
