And I had to move myself along the chain... Grrr.

Poor thing... she had to simultaneously listen to her fans, talk to her fans, sign booklets, listen to whiny publicists and move things along while flashbulbs are popping in her face. She is going to sleep well tonight!

Sweetie that's so sad.

Look at the bright side you got to meet her. But that woman Liz really needs to back off

Didn't she manage Madonna at one time or do I have the names confused. Sounds familiar.

OMG she looks absolutely stunning. I am dying of jealousy and thrilled for those of you who were able to experience this.

(That outfit is very flattering, btw. Maybe she is a size 8 after all...)

^ She slimmed down quite a lot from what I can see in the chicago live clips.

When they were phumphering around with the "gels" and light bulbs over the stage several times during the afternoon, I was starting to get concerned that we were going to see a very "Norma Desmond" version of Stevie tonight, but, my goodness... the woman looks fantastic for any age, but good God- almost 61??

That we, the fans, will be there for her and will buy it and support it 100%. She got all feisty and smiled and said "I'm gonna do it!" and I said we needed her and she held my hand, looked me in the eye and said "I need you". I made it off the stage before bursting into tears. Worth my 14 hour wait. Just enchanting....

Chills. Jesus, I almost started crying just reading this and I never say that.

I was wondering what all of the cheering was about, so thanks for that!

Seriously, I stamp what you told her 12,000 times.

That was the girl behind me!!! We spent the entire day together and had a blast. I'm so happy for her! I will let her know. Thanks!

I tell ya... as much as I was dreading this long day of waiting, it was actually quite a bit of fun. I was almost sad to see it end! The energy, the freaks, the music, the common purpose... it was just so much fun.

The only downside was the feeling of imprisonment- but it's nothing that a slice of Oreo pie couldn't fix.

What a nice ending to a fabulous day.

Was anyone able to video tape the BN signing?

Wow, that also made me tear up as well! I wish I could have met her! That's awesome that she said that to you though! Congrats!!

I had THE BEST TIME EVER!! It was well worth getting up a 2am and driving in, paying $50 parking etc!

Poor Ed's misfortune was my good fortune because when the bitch Liz interrupted his time with Stevie, I held back to see what the hell she wanted, and in my scatterbrained way I forgot to get my cd from Stevie! I realized it, thank god, and went back for it. Stevie saw me hovering, said "is this yours?" and I said yes and went to get it. She patted my hand sympathetically, perhaps she sensed my dopiness. No matter! I will take any conversation with her I can get!

I cannot believe how long the line was outside the store. It went down the block and around the next one. You could not see the end of it. Poor people....

Now I have to go straight to bed so I can go try and get tickets for Jimmy Fallon tomorrow!

How unbelievably amazing is this???

Gosh this is an absolute dream- it's so perfect, and would be pretty much exactly what I would do!

Congrats to all of you who had your moment with Stevie!!!

I can only hope that one day soon I will have the same opportunity- mission of mine for 5 years!!
