Me too Brooke!
I was soooo excited I had to call someone and I knew the only people who would appreciate this was fellow Borderers. I was new to this site and the only phone number that I had was for Henley Honey so she got the call. I remember my heart was beating @ 200 beats a minute!
I gotta agree about Houston Baby's description of seeing Glenn fresh out of the shower is rather distracting.
On another note, this is a very bittersweet day for me. On this day in 2015, I saw my last Eagles show in Charlottesville, Va. It was a wonderful show and Soda and Houston Baby came to visit me and go to the show. It was extra special because we did VIP that night and also celebrated Houston Baby's birthday. I've been thinking about the show a lot the past few days. It is personally significant to me that my first and last Eagles shows were both in my home state.

3 years ago today, I drove to the northeastern part of my state to meet Soda. We went to see Joe at the Mud Island Ampitheatre in Memphis. We had such a great time. We went to a record store, ate at the Hard Rock Cafe, went to a museum where we saw a few Eagles memorabilia and of course we saw the man himself, Joe Walsh. That was my first time seeing Joe in concert. Of course I would see his bandmate, Don Henley 5 months later in Texas, but that's another story. LOL
Soda. It was great to finally meet you and have somebody from the board in my state. I need to come up there and visit you sometimes. I know I've been saying that years. LOL One weekend I will make time.
Brothers for life. RIP Glenn
I'm not sure I believe in fate, but I know that crossing paths with Glenn Lewis Frey in 1970 changed my life forever, and it eventually had an impact on the lives of millions of other people all over the planet. It will be very strange going forward in a world without him in it. But, I will be grateful, every day, that he was in my life. Rest in peace, my brother.

The 13th is a very good day for Eagles sightings, it seems, although I completely forgot to post about my JULY 13th, 2002 Eagles show in Ames, Iowa! It was the first time since the 70s for me and my husband to see them and we managed 3rd row tickets in front of Timothy! I was in heaven all night long as we had wanted to see them again soooooo bad and to be that close was pretty much unbelievable for us! It was called "An Evening with the Eagles" and it was fabulous! A dream come true for, really, both of us! We had always loved them and never dreamed we'd get to see them live, in concert again. By this time we were actually able to afford it and not be in the nosebleed section! Wonderful, wonderful memory!

Wow, Brooke - Thanks for sharing this. I just love reading about everyone's special Eagles memories in this thread. It's amazing how we still remember special dates.
Let's not mention that this was nearly 20 years ago.
