Vent here about missing out on the Nicks birthday extravaganza!!!

[Amlyn]

I intially felt completely shafted when this show was announced. It was just a few days after the Webster show was cancelled, not to mention I had JUST returned from a trip to LA and taken 5 days off of work for aforementioned trip/planned Stevie shows in NYC and AC, and had 2 more vacation days in the coming days spoken for, so additional time off from work just wasn't possble. Talk about sucky timing. I was feeling so bummed.

After the dust settled from the announcement of the LA show and it was clear from her few appearances that she was really getting over being pretty sick, I came around and totally understood why she had to cancel her east coast shows. Knowing she was recovering and bouncing back, I was feeling relieved that this was just a minor setback, and again, bad timing.

When everything started to gel last week with Ledgie meeting up plans in LA and more people from here came forward with flying x-country to go, I really started to wonder why I didn't just figure out a way to go. I was feeling so mad it just couldn't happen for me.

I had the luxury of hanging out with two fellow ledgies last night, all of us with different reasons for not being able to go last night. We had a fun time just talking all night about all things SN/LB/FM and then we settle in with some wine, check our phones and see the setlist. We see confirmation that Mick is there. We officially know Lindsey is playing Soldier's Angel with Stevie. 8 new songs. Well, ok, 7 cause we've all heard Secret Love already. But still 8 IYD songs. Hell, Moonlight and FWIW are even in there. Songs we all WANTED to hear live, but weren't sure we'd ever get to. Now I am feeling so jealous, I just want to scream.

I get home, read some twitter accounts, go to bed for a few hours, wake up, and get ready for work. I am tired as can be and after reading Michele's review just prior to leaving my house, decided I am just a glutton for punishment as a Stevie Nicks fan.

I put in a few hours at work, log in here and the first video I see is Soldier's Angel, followed by Ghosts are Gone. The reality of what I missed really sets in. I am officially heartbroken.

BUT as 2 good people said to me last night...the best things come to those who wait. Our time will come.

Thank you to everyone who shared their experience, shot video, took pictures and is taking the time to share with us here. It truly is a gift from a few to many. I feel grateful that we live in a digital age where within a few hours, the rest of us who couldn't be there can just for a moment, feel like we were.
