And no flash - it's my little Kodak Easy Share (I forget thhe model.) This time I used the "action shot" setting, which pretty much eliminated any blurriness.

PAULA! I am going to upload my pics tonight....I used the same setting on my Nikon and I got some FANTASTIC shots! I cant wait to post them!

EDIT: My pics are from the Borgata show...I didnt have my camera at the Tweeter Center, just the cameras that everyone were passing up to me on stage! ha!

Paula, your shots are amazing. And I would also be very antsy if someone might make me miss Stevie. Oh look out! Love your commentary. Stevie's gotta take you out on the road for photos and blogging. No wait, she's gotta take me but you would do in a pinch.

You are a hot, sexy bitch. <3

Backpedaling to Landslide. Should have been a very touching, extremely moving performance. Father's Day was 2 days away, and Stevie tells the crowd how she lost her dad last year, dedicated the song to our families, tells us to be together. The song begins, the photos of Stevie & her family start rolling on the screen & a woman just behind me (so about 10 feet from Stevie) screams "Yeah! Landslide! This is for you daddy! Stevie, daddy! This is for you daddy! I lost my daddy too Stevie!" A few of us turn around, and this woman is obviously drunk. We try to gently shush her, but she keeps going. Same thing, nonsensical "Stevie daddy, this is daddy, Stevie, you're beautiful, my dad died Stevie...." Screaming. Loud. Waddy heard it, kept looking over. We try to shush her again, and the guy next to me turns around & shouts "would you shut the f*ck up." Oh ****. I understand his frustration. But. If there's one thing I learned from my parents owning bars, it's DO NOT argue with a drunk.

So, it proresses to "No, YOU shut the f*ck up!" I pat the guy on the arm, and say "let it go, please, don't let her ruin the show for you." He tries to ignore her. She yells "you don't tell me what to do, you're illegally taping the show, that's illegal." The guy was taking pics, nothing more -no flash, he wasn't being rude, and security was fine with it. He tried to ignore her, so she called him a "f*cking faggot" and pushes him. Waddy saw it, and security steps up & tells her she's out if she doesn't stop it. Guy next to me remains calm, I keep telling him "don't let her ruin this, she's drunk."

On & off for the next few songs, she'd shout something like"don't tell me to shut up...." here & there. Her friend tells guy next to me "you know, you have to understand, she really loves her, you didn't have to be rude." He starts defending himself, so I finally turn around & say "please, can everyone just let it go? You're all ruining the show for the rest of us." It settles down, but it was just terrible & uncomfortable for a while. I'm sure Stevie heard it too. Anyway, she was in tears after Landslide & her voice cracked, she had to take a moment to compose herself. I'm sure it was because of Father's Day, and not the drunken hag/rude guy. At least I hope not.

WELCOME TO SOBOBA! The same crap! Just not me. Others starting fights w/ others. Lots of yelling and pushing and AGGGGH! That crap like above but 10fold. Was so dpressing. Then the one guy repeatedly yelling to Waddy..."Expensive Wino's!!!" Whoohoo. Unreal....

ANYWAY.....

I think your pics need 1st place winning this go round. Simply gorgeous. And sounds like you saw enough Ledgies!!!!

Damn sure wish you were in Cali to be w/ us loons all the time. haha. We have no annoying hub's wifes friend or whatever.

FAB review, clips and pics. I am all geeked out again for my REALLY LAST TIME...I swear..... Still time to get here Paula!!!!

Livia · #54 06-20-2007, 04:10 AM

Glad you had such a great time!

Yay! Video of the HSML off-stage sauntering!!!

And that GDW wail is one of the best ones evah!

When people around me start yelling "STEEEEEVIE!" during Landslide or BATB, I tell them, "Yeah, she knows her name." They usually laugh and stfu. Or the people around them laugh, they get embarrassed, and then they stfu.

Great pics, great review, thank you!

WildHeart69 · #55 06-20-2007, 08:16 AM

this sounds like the same lady who was at the Borgata the next night...She kept yelling "Superstar!" and "You're Beautiful" and "This is for you Daddy" and all this other crap

GypsySorcerer · #56 06-20-2007, 08:50 AM

Great review, Paula. Those pics are beautiful!

You and Marissa look amazing!

Katherine~ · #57 06-20-2007, 09:32 AM

Wow, your photos are amazing... thanks 4 posting them...
The recount of the whole experience was pretty funny too.
But, what was with the drunk lady?? She obviously paid a lot of money for her ticket and was probably that hammered that she wouldn't even remember much of the night... and why was she going on about Stevie's dad??... what the??!! It sounds like the woman just wanted to upset Stevie for her own sick amusement.

skcin · #58 06-20-2007, 01:57 PM

^ Unfortunately, there's 1 (or 5

) in every crowd. I agree with you - why pay all that money to get trashed & not remember everything clearly? Whatever.

Thanks for all the great compliments, you guys. I am still having a hard time believing that I took those pics!

And I forgot to mention a few important details:

Stevie did the usual kick for Stand Back, but I missed the shot. Also, at the start of R&R, she does a big kick too.

During Edge (I think ) when she was walking around from band member to band member, she tripped over a wire - nothing major, she caught herself, but it was noticable. She stopped, smiled, looked over the the side of the stage, and made a motion of cutting her throat, as if someone was going to get it for that.

I hope this show's on video.

Yeah. That. First, Paula, great shots. I was looking for Ledgie people who looked familiar (I think we were in Vegas at the same time ages ago--Cheesecake Factory gathering, maybe?), but I didn't see you at Camden.
Anyway, I wanted to add that yes, there were plenty of drunk, rude people at Camden.
A lady came up to the girl beside me at the stage during Edge and started trying to push her way in. The girl wouldn't move, so drunk lady started yelling, "You are so selfish! I have a handicapped *something I missed,* so you'd better move out of the way!" Girl beside me kept saying "No way, I"m not going anywhere." This continued. I was saying, "Stevie doesn't like it when we fight. Stevie doesn't like it when we fight! Come on, she REALLY DOESN'T LIKE IT." Next thing you know, girl beside me was on the ground and drunken lady was yelling to the security guard about girl on ground. Somehow drunken lady got beside me for the Edge walk, and as Stevie radiently smiled at us and reached down to take our hands, she took mine and drunken lady's at the same time. Stevie and I let go as I felt her tipping forward, but drunken lady held on (she was pulling Stevie). Stevie glared at her and said very sternly, "Let go of me!" I sort of pulled drunken lady's hand back and Stevie moved on.
It was the weirdest Edge walk experience I've ever had. I felt that I'd done something good for Stevie though besides adore her.

But I'm scared of crazy Camden people from now on. Where's Veteren's Stadium jail when we need it?

skcin · #60 06-20-2007, 04:21 PM

^ That's awful!

It's a wonder the woman still does Edge walk at all - I know I'd be leery.

And yes, I think we did meet in Vegas, as I was also at the Cheesecake gathering.

Where were you in Camden? I was front row center (seat 10) and during the show, I was in the middle about 3 people back from the stage. Sorry I missed you.
