Oh my goodness I hope someone got footage of the Landslide dedication! So exciting that Christine was there and apparently enjoying herself.

So does Christine go to these things on her own, like us regular people??? This just really intrigues me! Glad everyone had a GREAT time!!!!

Agreed. I'm gonna go on a YouTube quest for it now.

By the way, I absolutely love your signature.

I listened to her talking and thought '****..why am I not recording this!' I wasn't in a great position to get Stevie on camera though

It's not a professional camera. The lens is not removable and although it is thicker than most cameras depth wise, it is the same length and width as all the pocket cameras everyone was freely using. I wasn't using a flash and I wasn't videoing anything. Plus, I was off to the side. I don't know what kind of infringing use he thought I could possibly get out of the pictures I was taking. I was nonplussed.

That's a shame about your camera. I let mine get rained on and I was afraid it would malfunction. And it's just Murphy's Law that your handbag would break at just that moment.

I tried to take a taxi to the event because other Ledgies had reported construction that slowed down the train and I wanted to avoid that. But the cab driver acted like I was harassing him by offering him to pay 40 pounds or whatever else it would have cost to get me there. He said, "I have things to do tonight." Apparently, his job wasn't one of those things. I told him I didn't want to try to learn the train route at the last minute. He told me to brace up and try to conquer that mental challenge. "All you have to do is tell them you want a ticket on the Metropolitan line. There's only one stop before Wembley. You can't get lost."

He dropped me off at the Baker station (practically forced me out) and I got there in time, but was wearing sneakers and my feet were soaked. Achoo!

That sounds like pure hell! Ugh... I recall doing my own running to get to the show on time because of the seriously f***ed up transportation situation. Not that it will help anyone now, but the London Overground system was a godsend! Just hop on it at Euston and 21 minutes later I was at Wembley Central.

I thought about you and what you said about trains, planes and automobiles. You are very brave to consider Australia. Michele

I got a cab home. I went to Wembley station, but all of us were leaving at the same time, so it was really crowded. So, I saw a cab dropping someone off and I got in. The traffic on the way back wasn't as bad as on the way there.

Michele

What model camera do you have?

Gypsy-Rhiannon · #25 11-08-2009, 12:04 PM

The boots were back for the final show!

Those are AMAZING pictures, all five of them. Mick was looking right at you when you took that!

trackaghost · #28 11-08-2009, 03:09 PM

Amazing photos Pip, I really think you and Suzy took some of the best photos I've seen all tour. Dani's right about the Mick one, it looks like he's giving you the thumbs up!
