you know, you really should go show-hopping.. much more fun

I hope that she tours again next summer. I want to do the whole show hopping thing. I want to make a whole road trip out of it. I'd get to see a lot of the USA that I have yet to see and I would get to see Stevie every few nights... It would be a dream summer!

NOOOOOOO! no more touring for Stevie... she has oversaturated the market enough as it is in the past 4 years.... unless she comes out with a new CD next spring, she absolutely shouldn't tour next summer, imo...

Chris, can't you wait until 2007 to do the show-hopping thing?

I used to think like that, but Houston was packed.
And I think maybe much of the problem isn't so much oversaturation as the need for a new setlist or theme. Say...Stevie & Lindsey & a guitar?

The 2003 days were expensive.

Oh geez you guys - STOP IT!! I had already told myself that this Dallas show was it for this year since I already did Vegas in May and now I am actually thinking, "How can I make that work"?

I am so addicted to Stevie. If I keep talking to myself, I will get grateful that I'm not a coke addict or something, add up the money I would be spending on that if I were and then I can rationalize going to Vegas.

My mind is so twisted!

It was so difficult for me to not jump in the car and go to the second AC show but my husband has really reached his limit. I did like 15 SYW shows, flew to Vegas for four days, went to three of these solo shows and the hubby has finally asked me if I need therapy. I just cannot justify it to myself. Yes, I work hard, have two jobs but with a couple of kids my own desires are secondary. I would literally hop into the car and follow Stevie around from venue to venue if I could. I never tire of seeing her. I really want to go back to Vegas next May if she plays there again, so I am pacing myself with the spouse. I don't want to overdue it and have him put the skids on my plans. He has been a total doll with taking off work so I can split for five days to Vegas, he has turned a blind eye to the cash I have spent on tickets, he has driven to Hershey at five AM last year when I lost my car keys to pick Rissa and I up. He is pretty much a saint when it comes to Stevie and Lindsey. He knows it makes me happy and I always put myself second to him and the rugrats. He has been so cool with me doing my own thing but I have to set some kind of limits..unfortunately. I am glad that Vegas is probably the end for this Gold Dust tour and the next big thing will be the Mac. I can do Vegas in 06 if Caesars brings her back and then go crazy in 07 with Mac shows. My friends and I are already planning it. First and second show...last show...etc etc. It will be sad if it is their Farewell tour but I am predicting a total blast.

I dont go to any show unless I can afford it. I can afford Red Rocks, so my ass will be in the seats.

It's been an awesome couple of years. I'm fortunate enough that I work at a place that's understanding about my need to pick up and see Stevie and we're fortunate enough that we live in an area where we can pack up and drive 2 hours, an hour, 30 minutes or 15 minutes to go and see FM and Stevie. Annnnd we're also lucky that Joe is great -- carting our asses to the airport and picking us up after the handbag incident of 04' You and I have been all over creation following them around and I couldn't have asked for a better travel partner. You better miss me next year, woman! But i'm sure L and K will be almost as much fun as me

I think this is a much better sig quote than what you have.

When we flew home from Atlanta, my parents and her husband were waiting at the airport -- they truly think we're crazy

Just shows they're paying attention.
