Yeah, wouldn't it be great if you could tell him the rose story?

If only!!!

I've somehow managed to refrain from posting this until everything was purchased, but...

I'M FLYING TO THE STATES TO SEE DON IN BOTH OKLAHOMA SHOWS!!!!

I am so freaking excited. Peekaboo has kindly offered to put me up, so I'll be flying out on the 13th May (a few days after my birthday!) and travelling to the shows on the 16th and 17th with her. A few factors came together at the right time, and I just thought why the hell not! I've wanted to visit the States for years and seeing Don solo was too good an opportunity to miss. It's going to be the best birthday present ever. The flights were cheap, too!

Jess has managed to get me a 3rd row seat in the premier section for the WinStar show! I'll be sat on my tod, but I don't care! This is all beyond my wildest dreams. She'll have the unique privilege (ahem) of being with me when I see Mr. Henley for the first time. Lots of hand-holding and tissues will be needed, I think!

I can hardly believe I'm posting this. Nancy... Can't persuade you to join us?

Troub, I am so happy for you! I can't imagine a better birthday present either! You, Jess, and our mutual OK buddy are going to have a BLAST!

[Glennsallnighter]

TROUB!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is absolutely FABULOUS!! I know how much you have hoped and dreamed of going to a Don solo show, and to get to 2 shows in one weekend with 3rd row seats is the best that can possibly happen. I really hope you have a brilliant time. I'm sure it'll be EVERYTHING you expect it to be!

Tissues and hand holding indeed! I'll be there in spirit!!

Have a WONDERFUL time all of you who manage to get there.

[melrose]

Congratulations, Troubadour!!! That has to be one of the best birthday presents anyone can experience!

[sodascouts]

AWESOME!

That's wonderful Troub!!!! I'm so happy for you!!!!

Who knows, maybe I will show up! You never know!

[Troubadour]

Aw, thank you, guys It's all so surreal at the moment, but it's pretty much all I can think about!

[Peekaboo]

Lou, I was wondering when you were going to get around to posting about this. I know that you've been so anxious to post this. Remember when you posted this?

I need a flight to the States!!! I would give anything to join you.

It's around my birthday... maybe my family would be kind enough to... nah... no chance!

No chance, huh? Just a few weeks later you've got a flight booked and concert tickets ready for ya. A Don Henley weekend has got to be the BEST BIRTHDAY EVER!!! I've got plenty of tissues ready for you and if i need to I'll get some smelling salts in case you faint. Lol!!
