Perfect match for her "Psycho Bitch" shirt!!!

She gave me one of those for my birthday. I think we should wear them on the plane to the UK for Firefest ... International road trip. Starts in 3 weeks.

I'll bet we get wanded if we do. :roll:

mock me not, tx, for there are "make anything a temp tatoo" kits all over. :twisted:

it could happen........ :shock:

I did buy the tatoo sleeves. hahahaha!! CVS!! $1.99

i'm switching my calling plan to international for 1 week. you drew the line in the sand, dano, and I accept. OK corral at high noon. and don't send us to voicemail!!

I hope you are still thinking about coming to Firefest, Drew. that would rock..

Mainly because the sound was absolutely crystal clear, the mix was perfect and Arnel was as good as I've ever heard him. Plus I was able to witness this all from the front row.

by **nutz4Neal** » Tue Oct 07, 2008 5:56 am

** Tour opener show in Vegas..seeing Arnel take the stage for the 1st time after all the hype..had my doubts but he brought IT! Making the DVD, of course. So much fun with my gal-pals I can't even begin to list them all. Meeting so many from MR, you guys are great. Seeing Wyatt for the 1st time, what an adorable baby. Oh, and meeting Deano - don't anybody tell him I said so but he really isn't all that bad. :lol:

Seeing old friends for the 1st time in a long time..priceless. Asking SJ if he could wiggle..you probably don't remember that Dan but it was a funny moment for me..yeah, I had already had 2 martinis so maybe that made it even funnier.

** Irvine - did 4* for this show so we had 8th row center on an elevated platform, so it turned out to be 1st row on the platform. Neal saw us, acknowledged us with a big smile and wink. <THUD> These seats allowed us to have a great view of all the stage..awesome. Again great fun times with my gal-pals..road trip from Irvine to Vegas in the back seat laughing and singing all the way.

**VegasII - More fun than anyone should be allowed to have! Meeting more new friends. HUGS. Singing and dancing. Shopping. Drinking

. 5* for this show - front row in front of Neal, don't get no bettah than dat! Boot sex. Eye contact. <THUD> Reaching out to Arnel and him grabbing my hand. His singing right to Sandi. Was able to get my CD signed by the entire band, YEA! A special moment with Jonathan about TDTWT..awwwwww.

**Nashville, my hometown - Several friends came in for this show & stayed with us..most fun. 5* again so back on the front row in front of Neal, I'm getting used to that. :wink:

Deen came to our ILAA party and was so sweet. When the band took their bows, Deen was looking at me, walked toward me and handed me a drumstick..OMG!

Awesome memories..can't wait for 2009!

by **epresley** » Tue Oct 07, 2008 6:23 am

Highlights for me--

*Meeting the MRers in San Antonio, great, great group!

*Not thinking anything special about Heart being on the bill, then being BLOWN AWAY!

*Arnel. What can you say about him that hasn't been said?

You're right, I don't remember. :lol:

But what I do remember is meeting everyone (You, Barb, Sandi, Hope, Val, etc) and having an absolute blast. I honestly don't think I have ever laughed so much as that weekend in Vegas...a couple of times at myself!!! :lol:

No. I was referring to The New York State Fair show. The sound was incredible, the weather was perfect and I was in the front row. The sound at that particular show was head and shoulders above the rest.

Hell yes...I am glad I was at the best show of the tour

by **Escape Artist** » Tue Oct 07, 2008 7:57 am

highlights for me - seeing Journey live again for the 1st time since 2001.

Seeing and HEARING Arnel for the 1st time live, I am impressed! He is the real deal, indeed.

You were sitting with Dean at the bar in P.F.Changs waiting for dinner as were our group. Lula introduced me to Dean and he was questioning me with questions like "you're a Republician, aren't you?" and "you're a wiggler, aren't you". LOL, you know the drill. I said yes to all those and Lula introduced me to you. I said you were pretty cute and could you wiggle? :lol:

Oh well, guess it bombed; but all the girls seemed to think it was pretty funny. :lol:

by **Tito** » Tue Oct 07, 2008 8:07 am

My favorite memories were even before the tour. Neal's comments in the GQ interview were spot on. Arnel makes Jon Cain a better person, etc.

BTW, the Headline News feature were rerun yesterday.
