That's awesome, Marissa! It's nice that he 'gets' it

Congratualtions to you sweetheart. What a wonderful thing for your dad to do. I know you will have a wonderful time. Please tell us all about it when you get back.

Congrats Marissa! That is the sweetest story!

that is so awesome for you!

my dad mentioned that he would go to the tampa show, but since there were no decently priced seats left he opted out. dads are so cool sometimes. last week he was over for dinner and i had TimeSpace on. when Stand Back came on, he sang a few LALAs and twirled. i was stunned. then he shreiked the IAF "shad-dow against shad-dow against" with me. ahh, stevie bringing families together

*LMAO*! That's about as good as my dad blasting the birds rising demo of Rhiannon as we're driving down the road...that one got us some strange looks

Well a half hour into the dvd, we are at 1:00 now, my dad came home. He sat down on the couch with me, looked at the screen and looked at me for awhile. I guess he was thinking that this was the second night in a row that he had come home to me sitting there staring off into my little Stevie Nicks world *LOL*. So he turned to me and asked me where Stevie was right now *like on her tour*, so I said that I had no idea, all I knew was that she had recently been in Coloroda. Then he told me to go upstairs on the computer and find out where she was going to be next week. Now, I'm leaving out parts of the conversation, but it was basically just him saying that Stevie looks nothing like she used to, and me going my usual over-defensive ways and saying that she is the most gorgeous woman alive

. So after looking up the tour dates, I come back down stairs, and tell my dad that Stevie is going to be in L.A. on Tuesday. He just kinda stared off into space and was like "L.A....wow..." So I just kinda stood there on the stairs waiting to see where this was all leading, and then he said to me, "Marissa, go back online and book us a trip to California, I know that you want to see her more than anything" By this time, it was 2 in the morning *LOL*, and I was, and still am, in complete shock. My dad is not rich, far from it, but he is paying an insane amount of money *and trust me, I know, I booked the trip* to take me from Pittsburgh, Pennslyvania to Los Angeles, California, just so I can see Stevie one more time. I also should make it clear that my dad is not some saint, far from it, but for some reason, he actually understands how much Stevie means to me. So my friends, come Monday afternoon, my father and I will be boarding a plane for the first time in our lives *that's right, we've never flown*, and going 3,000 miles so I can see my hero one last time. Oh and just to keep up with the times *LOL*, it's 5:11 am here and I'm too excited to sleep, I do feel a little bad about calling my friend at 4:00 and gabbing about it for an hour though *L*

Oh that is so awesome!!! What a great dad! CONGRATS

Thanks everyone

Don't worry, you'll be getting plenty of details, this is also the first time I won't be in the nosebleed sections for a show

catinthedark · #9 07-23-2005, 12:08 PM

Wow, Marissa. You have a great dad - who obviously loves you lots and wants to make you happy. That is such a sweet story. Have an awesome time together!

They're not much-more-fabulous, ORCH 9 row DD, but the other two shows I went to, I was absolutely as far away from the stage as humanly possible

If I find better tickets later, do you think Ticketmaster will let me upgrade?
