Downstream Casino in Quapaw, OK 5-16-09

Talked to Lou and Jess on the phone after the show and they had a great time! Gave me a few details...

- Don was wearing basically the same outfit he wore in Utah.
- No new arrangements; the only cover he did was Everybody Wants to Rule the World
- Voice sounded a bit shaky at times but overall goood
- Seemed happy and in good spirits
- Did an impression of Jack Nicholson while telling the story about "Last Worthless Evening"
- Prefaced "Witchy Woman" with: "This isn't about Stevie Nicks. When I wrote this, I didn't even know her. Now.... I know her." [the last said in a deep voice. lol] Then he laughed silently.
- Some security guy asked him a question halfway through the show and Don said to him, "I'm kind of busy right now."
- He left quickly afterwards.

Of course, they'll fill this out more when they get a chance, but since they might not have access to a computer for a while, they wanted to make sure I let you guys know this tidbits right off!

Soda and I were on the phone last night when Jess and Lou called her, so she patched me in and we had a "four-way" going on. Jess and Lou, it was really fun talking to the two of you. Your excitement was very contagious and I am very happy for you both. I hope you have another wonderful excellent adventure at tonight's show, and we will all eagerly wait to hear from you. I'm sure you both will be very tired after it's all over, but I know it will be worth it. Give Don some love from your fellow Borderers.

I'm sat right next to Jess in the lobby of a hotel in Tulsa, and couldn't resist writing something too. We'll give you a proper write-up of the show tonight or tomorrow, but in short, it was incredible. That man is something else :fainting: We'd had a couple of drinks beforehand (necessary to steady my nerves) and had a lot of fun dancing and singing along. We got a few pictures, but my batteries went halfway through and I was too wrapped up in the show to find my spares.

We called Soda afterwards while we were sat in the parking lot, and told her and Dreamer bits and pieces about the show. I'm sure we were completely hyper and largely incoherent, but it was fun anyway. Great to hear their voices. I only wish they could have been with us too!

The weather was beautiful. Don was sniffing a bit and complaining about the lack of a summer in Oklahoma, while I was about ready to break out the suntan lotion. (Us Brits are easily pleased.) He seemed in a great mood and told a couple of cute stories. My only complaint is that it went by way too quickly!

Still, we still have tonight. And we're about ready to hit the road again. Last night really whetted my appetite, and I can't wait to get to WinStar. 3rd row center is going to be something extra special!

Oh LOU! I'm so delighted that you and Jess had such a wonderful time last night! Roll on tonight. I can't wait to hear your reviews.

That's so awesome Lou! How exciting!!!! I'm so happy that you're getting to experience all of this! I'm a tad jealous that I'm not there WITH you two.....but thrilled for you both none-the-less ;)

Hope you guys made some eye contact! :woah::grin:

Usually i've got a ton of pics from the concerts to post but for the most part my mind was only focused on one thing...or one man!!! We didn't take many pictures and the ones that we did take didn't turn out all that great but here are the decent ones.

Midway through Desperado we made our way to the front of the stage...as did many other people before us.
