    Point 2 Blue top. Definitely. The search starts HERE!

    Point 3 Do they let you take notes?

    Point 4. If there is any hope of getting backstage, myself MF and TT will wait all night if necessary,

    I'm getting too excited to think coherently or say any more for now.
    Point 1: GA, you can't confiscate TT's picks! She has to give them to me, since I need them to play in the band and all...

    Point 4: Oh, you said it, GA!

    I'm sorry, I'm letting my hopes run away with me again...

    And I know Glenn won't let me down

    You girls are very observant! I didn't realise I was making myself so obvious!

    MF - Believe me, I realize how lucky I am to be able to do this. I must say though, I had to wait a very long time. I have been an Eagles fan since the very beginning, but I never even saw them live until 2003 (yes, that is 31 years). So I figure that with all of my good fortune over the past couple of years, I'm just making up for lost time. You are also right that the guys do appear to be very caring about their fans. But you know the bottom line is this - I have been to some shows where I didn't get noticed at all, and it didn't matter. I still loved them. Special moments are just that - special - but, I know you all will have a wonderful time no matter what happens. When it's all said and done, it really is all about their amazing music. I know you'll be blown away at the experience of hearing and seeing them live.

    To answer 3.--Yes--they can stop you from taking pictures when they see a flash, but how are they going to stop you from taking notes?

    Although I did wonder how you had any time to actually WATCH the show, after reading your long and excellent review, Dreamer. I'm glad you were able to go to another show and concentrate on watching the guys the whole time!

    BTW, the next time someone asks if you are a reporter, just say yes. As a writer, I get that question all the time. And actually, you and everyone else who posts here ARE reporters, because we are all going to report what happened at each show right HERE!

    That is true DF. And believe me, I took my journalistic responsibilities very seriously. I did actually get to see the show because I remember doing a lot of my writing in between the songs. But still, I was very busy working the note pad throughout the evening.

    And GA - I meant to mention in my last post, good luck with Timtot (I love that name). It may be a good idea to dress her in bright clothes as well.

    And one more thing - MF - no, I'm not a Virgo. I'm a Saggitarius.

    Well I'll have to admit it I know what you are saying Dreamer. Realistically we are going to the gig to have a good night and to get as close to the boys as possible. Anything else will be treated as a bonus. But in saying that we make our own opportunities so ......
    We shall not be found wanting in that department!

    Wow, Dreamer - I wish I could say that I've been a fan for that long - 31 years is indeed a long time, and you did wait a long time to see the boys. Good grief, I'm 31 years old! I'm so happy for you that you've managed to make up for lost time, as you say.

    I agree with you that we will indeed have a fabulous time, whether or not the boys actually see us, although it would be fantastic if they did. As GA says, it would be a bonus. I must just tell you that reading your review really warmed my heart, both for the happiness that you experienced and because I love the boys so much.

    I have a lovely fuschia dress that she got for Christmas



    What do you folks think. Without the black cardie??

    Or would her cream one stand out more?


    I suppose in the end it'll be her decision anyway!
