The best experience though was in Calgary on the SYW tour where my friends and I (all the same included) managed to push our way up to the front for the last third of the show. A couple of days prior I had drawn a portrait of Stevie for a friend of mine but at the last minute decided I would make an attempt to give it to her if I had the chance. Near the end of the show ,before the final encore, Lindsey came up to the front of the stage and signed some things for people. I said that he was amazing and the show was wonderful, but gave him the Stevie portrait and asked him to give it to her. She was standing further back so he brought it over to her. As he gave Stevie the portrait, he turned and pointed at me and I waved frantically, like a jackass. She then....get this......looked and the portrait, HELD IT TO HER CHEST.... and the mouthed the words "thank you sooo much". I then had an aneurism and consequently pissed myself.

So that entire night was the most memorable experience aside from my lusty exchanges with Lindsey, but that's a whole other story.

Cool story too!

Now... spill... lusty exchanges??

I am still floating on air from the fabulous show Sunday night. The Dallas show was amazing. I never thought I would be able to get so close as too touch her hand but right before the Edge rush I said screw it and went down. I worked my way to her and planted my but right in front of her mike stand. When she got to me she held my hand and I said thank you. It wasn't like the moment in OKC in 2003 where I got to tell her I love her and she said she loved me. I thanked her for her music and that I know that she has sacrificed so much for her fans. These two memories are precious too me! I LOVE THIS WOMEN! You can tell she is happiest when interacting with her fans and performing on stage.

I am have a couple of Stevie hand holding experiences.

Mansfield 2004~ I think this was the first night that Stevie started shaking hands on the SYW tour. Security was terrible and wouldn't let us up to the stage at the beginning of the concert. I'm not sure when we were able to start leaning on the stage, but it had to have been before Landslide b/c someone passed me a sign that said Happy Birthday Stevie on it and security yelled at me twice for holding it up. The only reason she started shaking hands was b/c there was a priest sitting on the other side of the front row. At the end of the concert, she went over to him and talked to him for a min or two. That was when Lindsey signed the back of my ticket.

So Stevie started to walk off the stage and I held my hands out. She came right over to me, ignoring the people to my left, and took my hands in hers. I think I said something like, "Glad you're back" b/c this was after they had just canceled a show two nights before. She just smiled at me and squeezed my hands. Then took more hands down the line to my right.

Tampa 2005~ Alex was hogging Stevie's attention, so instead of holding her hand, I touched her sleeve.

Ft. Lauderdale the next night~ I was being squished against the stage and Stevie held my hands and looked into my eyes and said, "You take care" and squeezed my hands. I told her that I would and then she was gone.

Okay, I'm going to my first Stevie solo concert this Sunday. I'm in the 5th row, about 7 seats in. Do any of you experienced hand-holders have any advice for me? At what point do I go up to the stage, where is the best place to stand, what should I watch out for??? Thanks!!!

ps--this is all just a total run of luck for me. I'm going to California on business, have never been there before, and found out that Stevie is playing 15 minutes away from my hotel on the night I arrive, so I ordered a ticket. She's not even coming out to the Midwest, where I live. How lucky can I get?!?!?!

SISTER HONEY!

You absolutely MUST say this!

Not to rain on the bird parade but I wonder if she's got some nasty scarring going on under there?

I shook her hand at each of the Atlanta shows on the TISL. The first time, we had seats in the front row, right in front of her, so I was right there for the walk. A very good friend of mine who is not a SN fanatic said she would be right behind me. Good thing! There was this drunken, shirtless fool who could only cry (real tears) and scream "STEEEEEEEEEEEVIEEEEEEE" at the top of his lungs into my ear. My friend, a big boned gal that she is, elbowed her way between he and I and probably saved my hearing in that ear. As she came by, I took her hand and said "God bless you! Thank you!" to which she closed her eyes and gave me an appreciative nod. Then she was off. Meanwhile, Mr. Drunken Obnoxious Crybaby, who did get to her hand also over the shoulder of my friend, was crying all the harder and now holding up some necklace with a cross on it. He seemed to get more upset as she moved away, and decided to wing the necklace at her. Being drunken and not able to see real well with tears in his eyes, launched the necklace which promptly flew across the stage in an unintended direction, landing between some of the drums. Seeing this, he dissolved into a puddle of tears and vanished, probably down a drain. A squonk!

The second time was on her return visit. We were in good seats, just not in front of her. Since I already touched her, I asked my firends if they would like the honor. They are not SN fanatics either, but said yes. So I told them the game plan, and they agreed with some trepidation on their face. So, EO17 starts, I yell "RUN!!!" and we are up there. Mr. DOCB was thankfully not there, and everyone in the crowd was singing and having a great time. Here she comes! I direct them to "PUSH!!!" and they get right up there. I got her hand again and said "You rock! Thank you!". She smiled at me and moved on. When it was all said and done, my friends thanked me profusely for helping them up there. They had never been to a concert where that happened and thought it was so cool that she actually does that.
