I am utterly exhausted after a great day with Ledgies and night with Stevie.

Tonight felt like the culmination of the road to validation for her. I feel like at the end of this tour (US legs for now at least) it's fair to say, Stevie got her groove back. She was all smiles, laughing, dancing, chatting, motioning with her band, probably having a better time than we were. In the end, I almost felt like we were there for her and not the other way around.

Nothing striking stood out to me because everything was just great, minus a few flubbed lines to Ghosts are Gone, which was hilarious because the whole band knew it and was cracking up. And I did laugh my butt off when she was introducing Landslide and went into the whole shebang about she and Lindsey and their puny beginnings and how they ended up in Aspen, and the other stuff that GoldDustWoman22 mentions above because she couldn't stop herself and had to bust out with the fact that she was the "sew-er of the jeans. " We've all read it but to hear her say it at a concert was just a priceless moment for me. I really hope it ends up on You Tube.

And so here at 20 to 4 in the morning, I'm terribly depressed knowing that the run of Stevie is over for now. I got to see her 3x in 9 days and I got to be part of 2 edge walks. It was truly a very memorable week and I'm glad I had the chance to meet and spend time with many of you! And just a special shout-out to FumiDesigns who made a lot of this weeks festivities happens. We love ya darling!!
