It's pretty surreal. Jamie and the drunk PGA guy just made it all the more interesting. And Jamie is a riot.

I know - I mean it would have been cool to talk to her and hang out with her, but it would also have been really rude. She was in a group of people and it would be like walking up to a group eating dinner and just speaking with one of them. So, no one really did that - and her body guard was not really letting anyone get by her. While that seems harsh, I always think back to all the creeps that have stalked her and people that have stolen things from her like demo tapes and just crazies in general. I mean some guy hung himself outside of one of her concerts one time and other weird stuff has happened like that. So, I respected her privacy. But, she noticed us and sort of nodded faintly and then continued her conversation with her friends. It was just great to be there IMO

Being able to get away and do stuff like this keeps me going. I'm thankful for every experience I've had and I'm fortunate to have had them. They were in our hotel purely by accident. And the Thrown Down incident at the Rat Pack steakhouse was like a premonition. It completely freaked Strand and I out.

I was actually speechless and wide eyed for like five minutes!!!!

Glad you had such a great experience....

The first time I "met" Stevie at Red Rocks on the Timespace tour was when she came walking down the front row during Edge where I was. We were literally face to face and I spoke to her briefly. She hugged me and when she let go, I burst into tears. I was embarassed to be sure.
To answer your question, in that setting, while I did make eye contact with some people, I wouldn't have felt comfortable with the out and out staring. We were in a social setting and there was lots of security around. I just wanted to drink the whole thing in. So I glanced discreetly.

True - the only person staring was her body guard

Taku was with Bette before, too. And Ray has worked on her albums with Taku. Only two more weeks until my show!

Sounds like that show went better than the drunken towel thieves last year.

Hee. You should have been with us in the convertible flying down the highway at 70+mph while Jason and I were singing harmony at the top of our lungs.

Good times.

this show appears as both a bootlegged video & audio cd, I have had several people emailing me already for it...Would make for an interesting show.
