on another note..I am really interested to know how people get picked to go back stage? or for the meet and greets etc...

I don't know how they normally get picked to go backstage. I just happened to be in the right place at the right time in Melbourne. I made it to the 2nd row from the 5th and some guy leaned up and tapped me on the shoulder. He handed me the pass and said "I think you should have this. I can tell you are a huge fan!" I was so stunned I was like "Ok, what does this mean?" He said " You get to go backstage and meet her!!" I was ecstatic. I thanked him profusely and told him he just made my life!! Unfortunately, I didn't get to meet Stevie but I was backstage for quite awhile, just hanging out with the band, not talking to all of them mostly just observing what went on. I did speak to Waddy and had a pic taken with Taku but I saw ALL of them. Saw Sharon, Jana and Lori leaving with their suitcases. Another guy who I could tell knew Stevie because Sharon and Jana came up to give him flowers and wine for his wife that they had received and couldn't take with him, he was also waiting for Stevie. Finally, Waddy came out and said that we weren't going to get to see her because he couldn't even get his friends back to see her. So, that was a bummer and so I tried to get backstage again at Brisbane and they pretty much just told me there was no meet and greet even though I was the only one standing there waiting. I was pretty bummed. But, hey cool, I got to hang out with her band for awhile. Then Harry got backstage and he will have more to say to you about that when he gets home. Just got off the phone with him he is on cloud nine. Slept only a few doors down from the Goddess last night...Woo hoo!!!

I haven't written my whole experience yet but that's an official start anyway. Mostly, I just had a fantastic time with all the Ledgies at dinner before the Melbourne show. I met some really awesome people. Stevie looked absolutely wonderful and sounded awesome. Best Beauty and the Beast ever at the Brisbane show. I feel so lucky to have been able to go.
