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*

AWESOME story. Have a safe flight and enjoy the show with your Dad.

This is fantastic. BTW, it is hot as Hades here in LA. Bring sunscreen.

Marissa that is so cool! Your dad sounds like a great guy and it will be quite an experience for you to see Stevie in Los Angeles. She tends to be more nervous at LA shows since there are usually a lot of industry people there but it's very cute

. Tiffany and I will be there so you'll definitely have to meet up with us!

What a great story! Congratulations, Marissa! What a sweet Dad you have. The two of you will never forget this, and I think that is so cool!

Have a wonderful time!

Thank you so much Lorelei and anyone that I somehow missed for all your kind words!

What a great story! That must have been one pleasant surprise for you! Good luck and I hope that you have a safe trip. You might want to check the box office a few hours before the show if you really want the first 5 rows. I doubt that they will let you upgrade but it might be worth a try anyway.

I think your dad is my hero! What a cool father you have.

Enjoy the concert and post how it went! Hope you can take some pics.

inspired by your story, I am now going from Birmingham to Albuquerque with my dad for my last show of the summer! unexpected and exciting!

You are very lucky. My parents usually don't like hearing about Stevie because often times it means I just spent a sh*tload of money on something Stevie related and they get pissed. My dad won't go to any Stevie concerts with me because he went to see her 1991 and had to leave the place because there was so much pot around lol. I have spent so much money on this woman in the last 3 years! I wonder if Stevie will come visit me in the halfway house I'll be moving into since I've spent all my funds on her.
