LONG and SHORT of it

So I havent completely landed from planet Scissor Sisters yet. I admit it, it takes me a few weeks. I even had my ceremonial car accident. It wouldnt be a well rounded Sisters experience without a kink in my travels to or from work...it just has to be that way. So I have commenced searching for my new friends that I met along the way. So far I have been successful in finding quite a few of them. Myspace...what a glorious thing. I am currently determined to find Jason and Brandon from the Dallas and Huston shows. I have actually begun searching 2500 pages worth of friends on the Scissor Sisters myspace friends list. I KNOW they are on there somewhere...I WILL find them. I am currently on page 100 and guess who I found hovering around page 97. That top hat mother fucker that Jason and Brandon almost killed. LOL SO I have him saved to my favorites to share the bliss with them when I find them. The kicker is that the asshole blogged about the concert and about the near fight. Only his account is REALLY skewed from what I witnessed. Since Im not a "classic" shit-stirrer Ill say my piece here rather than there.

Dear Mr. Top Hat man,

You are not fabulous...you are a CUNT! You did not just step in front of people shortly before the show began...you HOVERED over a girl that was front row and insisted to her that you were NOT bothering her. It was an obvious ploy that you hoped would make her move. When you were confronted by the "nelly faggots" you did NOT stand your ground! After much bickering, you conceded and retreated to 3rd maybe 4th row. So dont glamorize your strong-hold on concert etiquette. And just for my own personal satisfaction...since you explained how much you hate "those faggots," let me describe to you the faggots that I hate. I hate faggots that hide behind an image. I hate faggots that think that make-up is all they need to be fabulous. I hate faggots that talk about the faggots they hate. And mainly I hate faggots that need to tell other faggots how fabulous they are...because if you were REALLY fabulous, words wouldnt be needed! So a word of advice...the next time you want to be front row, or second row at a concert...put the fucking time in bitch...stand in line for 5 hours like the real fans!!

Yours Truly,
Ms. Front Row At 6 Concerts

So here's a few more concert shots for you guys...Im so bored. I keep wanting to go to a show!

FAN FATALE Part 2

I’m home finally. I feel like I’ve been run over by a mac-truck. But it was so worth the experience!!! Here it is...the finally 2 shows.

DALLAS

Rhonda and Rachel met us in Dallas. YAY!! I knew it was gonna be hella fun with them. We met at our hotel and got dressed so we could go tailgating at the venue VERY EARLY. Apparently I was becoming paranoid about not getting front row. SO we made a mini bar in Guys trunk and got to the venue by 3:00. This show was taking place at Gilleys which was the venue used in the movie Urban Cowboy. For some reason we couldn’t ever get over that fact. LOL. We were first in line OF COURSE! So we took out a blanket and some pillows and made a nice lil picnic area. We were alone for about 2 hours. Then absolute sweetness entered our worlds in the form of 2 adorable teens. Cassandra and Michael walked up and asked us if this was the Scissor Sister line? We said yes, they got behind us, and they proceeded to tell us their story. Just before they were ready to leave for the show, BOTH of their cars broke down. They called a car rental place but were denied because they were only 18 (must be 25 to rent cars). So what did they do? Did they give up? Fuck no! These 2 geniuses called U-Haul and rented a moving truck to drive their asses to the show!! And they would be using the truck to get them to the Houston show the next night as well. How fucking awesome is that!!! I LOVE these 2 kids!!!! We immediately adopted them. And we also met Brian in that line. He was a sweetheart and he was gonna be in Houston the next night as well. So we had our lil Texan posse in place.
On with the GOODIES…Rhonda and Rachel had these AMAZING wine bottles created for each member of the band. We were hoping to give them out before the show. While we were having our lil private party in line, I noticed one of the roadies walking by so I stopped him and asked him how we could go about giving them the bottles. He took a picture of the bottles and told us his name was Ben. He gave us a plan but it didn’t work out. Ben was such a sweetheart. I wish I could have gotten a pic with him before the end of the trip. Anyhoo…we had decided to wait till after the show to give out the bottles. Then a cab pulls in with Jake and Del in the backseat. YAY! But they went to the back. Not long after, another cab pulled up with Paddy and BD in it. They stopped in the front. SO as they walked in I got Paddy’s attention and told him that we had gifts for them. He seemed surprised cause he even asked “Are you serious?” I told him Yes and asked what would be the best time to hand them over. He said after sound check. SO we listened intently as the sound check was going on wondering if this would work. Guy and Rachel had to go in search of a bathroom so they decided to go and come right back. As they headed to the car, I look up and Paddy is standing at our posse!!! I freaked out cause I was not expecting him to come out to us AND I knew that Guy and Rachel had JUST left with the wine bottles in the trunk. YIKES! So, I asked him to wait one minutes so I could see if they were still here. I ran to the parking lot and THANK GOD!! I beat on Guys window and yelled. “PADDYS HERE!!!!” They jumped out and grabbed the bottles. We went back to the line and Rachel gave him his bottle. HE really liked it a lot. He seemed impressed by the label. He was sweet enough to pose for pics with us all. I told him we were following them from Chicago to Houston and he said, “WOW like Grateful Dead.” When I thought we were finished, he asked if I wanted one more pic with him. So I obliged and got another pic with him. He told us to wait till after the show to give the others their bottles. He was really sweet!!
Next, the doors opened. SWEET!!! We got front row and there was Sammy Jo again!! He is such a sight!! I adore him!!
The show was amazing!! AGAIN!! Ana winked at me from the stage. God I love that woman!!! The crowd was a god crowd with the exception of a few assholes!! But I guess that’s typical!
At the end of the show, Jake announced that they would indeed be at this after party. Amanda Lepore was performing. OMG!!! So after I secured my set-list, we grabbed the wine bottles and went to the buses. We waited patiently and finally Jake and BD came out. Rachel yelled to Jake that we had a gift for them. She reminded him that he had humiliated her in NOLA and he totally remembered. LOL He loved the wine bottle and chatted with her for a lil bit. Then he posed for pics with us all. BD loved the bottle as well. Sounded as though he may create some of his own for gifts. They had to leave out quickly to head to the party. Next to come out was Paddy and Del. Del loved the bottle and chatted with Rhonda for a bit about it and the vineyard. As they left Paddy kissed my cheek and said something….but I don’t remember what it was. LOL So we waited for Ana. When she emerged she was in a BEAUTIFUL blue dress. The crowd was a lot smaller at this point. Rachel gave her the bottle. She read the label and admired it for a bit then in that special Matronic way she said, “Thank god its Cabaret and not Merlot.” LOL
She saw me and grabbed my hands for a cheek kiss. She loved my outfit. And we took pics together. Then she was off. We didn’t head to the party cause we were exhausted and convinced ourselves we wouldn’t make it in the door. THAT is the biggest regret of the trip.

HOUSTON

We were getting ready for our last show. We were excited, sad, and ready all at the same time. With as much fun as we were having we didn’t want it to ever end but we were also ready to be at home. So when we left, we called Michael and Cassandra, our adopted groupies. They were at the venue already and 2 people were in front of them. This was at 2:00. We hauled ass down there and met them. We brought “end of the tour” gifts to the band and to Sammy Jo. We had portrait cookies made for the band and we bought some awesome chocolate creations for Sammy. A sweet lady named Nona made sure they received them backstage as we all stayed in line…for 5 hours. We made our own little party until the doors opened. I was extremely disappointed in this venue and this crowd. After we had waited so fucking long in line to insure a front row center spot…the corralled us in groups once in the venue and those mother fuckers let the BACK group in FIRST thru another door!!! When they let us in we darted and were able to eek out front row spots but we were to the left and sandwiched like sardines. And some CUNT had the nerve to try to cut me in the line twice after my friends had saved his spot in line twice while he enjoyed a drink in the bar. Anyhoo, Sammy was spinning and I immediate started dancing in my tight quarters. After a few minutes I yelled at Sammy, and he saw me and told me Thank You!!! Then we he had a chance, he came over to me and told me thank you for the sweets. I told him thank you for a wonderful tour and I told him that I love him. LOL. I couldn’t help myself. I’m a dork!!! WHO CARES!!! So as the crowd started to grow a bit, I felt someone tap my shoulder. I turned and Brandon asked me if I was in Dallas the night before and I said yes. He got really excited and he said “ I KNEW IT WAS YOU!” And his friend Jason was excited cause I remembered him cause he almost kicked some top-hat mother fucker’s ass who was pushing and bullying his way through the crowd. I LOVED THEM!!! They showed me pics from the Dallas after party. Amanda had her titties out!!!!!! YAY!!! I wanted a pic with them and to exchange emails but I couldn’t find them after the show. Anyhoo…the Houston show was PHENOMINAL!! It was the last of their American tour and they tore it up!!! They were high energy and balls to the wall!!! Ana dedicated Kiss You Off to the people from New Orleans! OMG!!!! YAY!!!! We got a lot of love from Jake and Ana off the stage that night. They are the best EVER!! I SWEAR!! As they left the stage, Jake looked over to Guy and I and he smiled and waved. It was an amazing end to a wonderful trip. EXCEPT…the best was yet to come!!!!

So we go to the buses after the show and we make our own little private party while waiting. We sat in a circle and hoped and hollered until Del came out. We moved over the other end so we could get group shots. He came out of the barricade and took a group shot with us…he’s sooo damn sweet and so damn gorgeous. Next Paddy came out and he too left the barricade to take group shots with us. He told us that we were the coolest fans ever!!! YAY!!! Then Jake came out. It takes him a while to go thru the crowd. Babydaddy came out next so they were both out at the same time. As soon as BD saw me he says, “I know, I know….you can blame EVERYONE else but ME!! I know my part.” LOL He went on to explain that he felt bad that they didn’t have it ready cause he wanted it so badly just for us. AWE!!! I told him that hearing him say that was satisfaction enough for me. And I asked him to please have it ready the next time they are in NOLA. He said they were trying to work out a return date to New Orleans. YAY!!! Then Jake made his way over to us. He came out of the barricade to take group shots with us. When he saw me he said in a sad voice, “Its all over.” I said, “I know, what are guys gonna do without us?” He said, “I don’t know.” He was sooo sweet about it. We took craze pics ala the Star Wars poster. We call it the MONEY SHOT!! Then OMG!! I got pics with him riding me piggyback!!! OMG!!! I was dying!!! He is like a big kid! He really is!! There is a sweet boyish charm about him that is infectious. Anyway then he talked to us for a bit and he mentioned that he didn’t see us at the party in Dallas. I said, “OMG Jake were you looking for US?” He said that he had met everyone in there and he noticed we weren’t there. OMG!!! So as he was ready to leave, I told him we would be seeing them the next time they were in NOLA. He said AWESOME! Then he went on the bus and waved at us like a schoolboy. LOL Then he came back out with his camera and took pics of the crowd and YES we are in one of the pics!!! YAY!! Then my sweet Ana came out. Have I mentioned how much I fucking love that woman? We showed her the craze pics we had taken with Jake, so she obliged and took craze pics with us. We have one with us bowing at her feet. And she requested an ugly face pic…so we all made nasty faces. Then obliged a special request for me that shall remain secret for now. As we were talking to Ana one of the roadies came out and asked if Guy and I were the 2 from New Orleans. We said yes and he gave us 2 all access tour passes as souvenirs. It was the sweetest thing ever!! His name was Colin and he said that we had put the work in so we deserved them. OMG!!! I told him that it was because we loved them all so much. I thank him profusely!!

This trip was THE BEST TRIP EVER!!! I have never had so much fun in my life and it’s doubtful that anything will ever happen to me again that is as wonderful as this trip. I met amazing people at EVERY venue. Some of them I have contact info, others I’m going to search for. I would do this again in a heartbeat!!! And I recommend it to anyone!

WOOTS!!!!!!!!

I haven’t unpacked yet so if I have your contact info, ill be in touch soon. PROMISE!!

FAN FATALE

Here I am!! Finally I have a moment to catch my breath and blog. I really would have preferred blogging as it happened but I now I have a new found respect for people (i.e. rock stars) that LIVE on the road. This is HARD SHIT people! I can’t ever recall what city I a in, what state I am in, or my fucking hotel room number. We haven’t been eating a whole lot either...we don’t have time. So with that said, I AM HAVING THE BES TIME EVER!!!!!! Here goes as I recall it in a hotel room from....Kansas City, I think.

ST. PAUL

St. Paul was sooooo cold. I had never seen so much snow in my whole life. We had a day off before the second show on our tour so we took the opportunity to REST! For show 2 I had a wardrobe malfunction so I had to wear jeans...yeah boring I KNOW....but shit happens. We went to the venue 2 hours early and no one was there yet so we went in search of a band aid for a gash on Guys face from a shaving accident. We got back at the venue about 15 minutes later and 2 men were in line. We parked and Guy tended to his wound while I rushed to the line so that the bitch that just pulled up in a cab wouldn’t get my spot behind the 2 other people. As soon as I get there, relieved to be there, the bitch gets out of the cab. WHO WAS IT?? Go ahead, ask me. WHO?? It was Jake Shears!!!!!!!!!!!!! He was all bundled up to protect his hot lil body from the cold. Sitting in the cab as he struggled with luggage and paying the cabby...ANA MATRONIC!!! She was not made p yet and the woman is still gorgeous! I struggled to get guys attention to get his as to the line but I didn’t want to yell. I don’t like doing creepy stalker things like that, especially when my target is 15 feet away from me. Guy finally arrives and pus thru my lips "ITS JAKE!" So their security people sow up to carry their stuff and as they proceed to the door, one of the gentlemen in front asked them if they had a minute. They came over and I got my picture with Jake. I asked him if they had received the king cake we had sent them from New Orleans. His response, "Oh that was YOU guys? It was DELICIOUS! Thanks so much, tat was really sweet of you." At that point, Ana came over and motioned that it had made her fat or something of that nature but I couldn’t really respond because Jake was starring at me with those beautiful blue eyes. That shit melts me!!! I mentioned to him that we would be following them all the way to Houston. He thought that was awesome and thanked us again. Then they had to rush in cause the sound check was waiting on them. I was so flustered by Jakes eyes that I didn’t get my pic wit Ana.
As we waited in line we became friends with Rob and Jeffery, the first 2 men in line. And as we chatted we could hear the whole sound check!! I flipped out when I heard them doing Making Ladies!!!! And they also did Get It Get It. Waiting in line was a lot of fun, if you can believe that! Great people and lots to talk about. I was so happy that Chicago was already a distant memory.
When we got inside the venue, I met Dennis. He had made his own shirt and it was fucking FABULOUS!!! We started chatting and he asked me what my fave SS song is. When I said Almost Sorry, he screamed like a school girl because he said that was is favorite too. We both screamed and hugged each other because it’s an obscure song on an extra disc only released in the UK. We both agreed that it’s a lyrical masterpiece and we could listen to it all day long!! DENNIS I don’t have you’re email...I will find you someway and somehow dear. WE ARE KINDRED!
The show was fucking FABULOUS!!! OMG!! 100 times better than Chicago. Funniest moment of the show was when Jakeliterlly got caught on an attachement on Anasmic stand...the hook went up his ass and the look on his face was priceless!! The crowd was just amazing!! And the cherry on top the cake...Jeffery and I caught Jakes sweaty towel and we split it in half. So YES people, not only have I licked his sweat off of my own arm, I now OWN his DNA!! And I also got a set list as well from the sweetheart Matt that would soon realize that I am like a fungus. LOL. I was sad that it had to end. BUT we had to roll out immediately because St Louis was next and we had no time to spare.

On the road gain...

ST. LOUIS

I LOVED St. Louis. This city is soooooo adorable, cute, clean, pleasant, quaint, WONDERFUL! We had been on the road ALL DAY. Driving on 4 hours of sleep at some hotel in the middle of NO WHERE, USA. We arrived at the hotel at 4:00 knowing that our hopes of front row were quickly fading. There was an early entry trick to this venue and in order to be the winners of "first in" I thought we should be there by 3:30. So to my estimation we were arriving 30 minutes late TO THE HOTEL. So we got to our room showered, dressed, and made ourselves pretty as fast as we could. I had ANOTHER wardrobe malfunction so was forced to wear jeans for the second night in a row. BUT we had to go so I didn’t bitch too long. We arrive at the venue, driving in Guys convertible with the top down, pull to the back to ask a guard where the parking was, he motion us forward and WHO do we see walking toward us? WHO do you ask? JAK SHEARS! OMG!! He was looking scruffy with those sexy glasses he wears. As we approached, Guy slowed down but didn’t stop, I put my arm up and waved and said "Hey Jake, were back." He looked at us with a recognizing look on his eye and he said, "Heeeeeeeeeeeey." He smiled and we moved on to park. We went around to the bar for the early entry trick and to our fucking amazement; we were first in line at 4:50. We could not fucking believe it!! So the door to the bar opened at 5:00, we were given a reserved booth with the other 2 winners, Scott and James. We had so much fu in thee, drinking and getting to know each other. It was at that point that I realized that we were very fortunate to be meeting people that were awesome at each location. So as soon as the doors opened we went in and easily secured out spots at the front row. Sammy realized we were there AGAIN and he promptly waved and smiled. This venue was very odd. It looked like a bowling alley or a bingo hall. Oh well, no matter to me, I was front row. On the dance floor I met Kyle and Joe and a cutie patutie that could dance his little ass off named Shan. The show was AWESOME! The Sisters know how to work a crowd even a stiff as nails crowd *coughs* the balcony *coughs*. As the show ended and the sisters exited the stage, Jake waved and smiled at us...yes a separate wave for US. :) Next, we went out to the back to meet the band. When they emerged, we anxiously waited for the crowd to die down a bit so we could get some "personal time" with them. It worked. We talked to Jake for about 5 minutes or so. He told us how much he loves New Orleans and that he was thinking about buying a house there. He mentioned that they were trying to do something special for New Orleans but he didn’t elaborate. He asked about the "intensity" down there right now meaning the spike in crime...I told him the truth "we are use to that shit; it just means we are getting back to normal." He chuckled. I’m sure he realizes m right. We got Guys pic with Jake this time and I forgot to get one. On to Ana. When I walked up she gave me a hug and I said, “was so excited to see you guys yesterday that I forgot to get a pic with you." So we took a pic and I handed her a cd booklet to sign. She said, "Melissa right?" OMG, se remembered my name!!!! I was sooo excited. So then Babydaddy came out and I was pleasantly surprised at how nice and fun he was. He seems so subdued that I was thinking that he would be of interest to me. But I got a pic with him and I told him that we had been with them since Chicago and that we were going all the way to Houston. He told us thank you and asked if we were ok with tickets and everything. Hold up. Did Babydaddy just ask me if I needed tickets?? So I took a chance and said we fine with tickets but we could really use some backstage passes? He said "there’s really nothing going on back there." S I said, "Sound check?" He said, "There’s really nothing going on here either." So I left the 'please let me in' questions alone and said to him, "You know when we were in line at the Myth, we could here the sound check, and I heard you guys do Making Ladies." He said, "Yes you did, were working on bringing that one out soon." OMG I got a lil loopy at that moment and I asked him how soon. I told him, "I would give my right arm to hear t live!!" I extended my arm and asked if anyone had a saw. I begged for it before this tour was done. He said they would try their best. I motioned to him that he had 3 shows left. Ad I reminded him about my arm if he needed it. The exchange was fun. Overall, I still get a lil hazy when taking to them and I just go with the flow as best as I can. I keep forgetting to mention poor Rachel and our Dallas surprise. And Chad. What the hell is wrong with me? Don’t hate me girls...I get blinded by the EYES!! LOL

On the road again...

KANSAS CITY

Kansas City’s nowhere near s nice a town as St. Louis. But, the people were just as awesome! We arrived with a few hours to spare so we located the venue and the buses. Then we got a hotel so we could rest before the show. I wanted to arrive in the line by 5:oo. We go downstairs at 5:00 because we never seem to do anything on time. We are digging in the car for my shoes and Guy locks his keys in the trunk!! GOD DAMMIT!! So we waste about 20 minutes trying to get to the keys from the backseat. I could feel time and the front row slipping away. I refuse to give up so I called us a cab. When we arrived we were about 16th in line. I got several compliments on my purple shimmery pants. I have to admit, I did look cute. We sat in line next to some college kids that were so much fun!! Josh is hilarious and he did a great job of entertaining me throughout the night. Guy seemed concerned about his keys on this evening but he lightened up when the doors opened. As I entered the venue, I had a mission. FONT ROW!! So I started off walking at a brisk pace then ran to the sage to beat out people that were behind me in the original line. I was so excited that I yelled “SAMMY!' He looked up and waved with a smile. We proceeded to have fun with the college kids and I also met Sam who was behind me. He was really sweet. He said he was going to Dallas too. So hopefully we will see them there. I also met Dick, I mean NICK lol. He was Joshes adorable boyfriend. He had never been to a concert in his life. He’s from a town with a population of 25!! OMG!! He was so cute tho…they both were. The sow was again AMAZING!! It doesn’t matter how skint the crowd is...the work their buts off on stage!! Jake was smitten with Josh as well, I noticed. He spent a lot of time smiling and apparently laughing at him too. But the highlight of my night...Jake mentioned US on stage!!!! He said, "We have these lovely people here tonight who have been traveling with us from New Orleans to 4 or 5 shows now...you’ve heard this, just bear with it." YAY!!!!! Can I lick this man already?? PLEASE!! During the encore of take Your Mama, Jake climber on top of the speakers which were easily 15 feet high..he canced ad tok off his shirt...GORGEOUS!! Anyway, I had to fight for a set list this time. But Matt, the peach, didn’t let me down. I’m gonna have to get him a thank you something for Houston. After the show we tried to find a place to meet them but the buses were secured in a private parking area and we couldn't get anywhere near them. So we left. It was at this point that I realized how tired I was getting and that the ROAD was starting to get to me. I’m having so much FUN on this trip but I am a home girl...I want me place.

We leave for Dallas today and the show is tomorrow. BIG THINGS will be happening in Dallas. I can feel it!! And Rhonda and Rachel are finally gonna be there!!! YAY!!!

FAMOUS ANONYMOUS

CHICAGO

Here's my Chi-Town experience in a nutshell.

We arrive in the morning hours and went straight to the venue. We immediately notice the buses parked on a side street and we became so excited that we looped around about 4 or 5 times just hoping and praying to see someone, ANYONE. Then to my erroneous surprise, I thought Sammy Jo walked in front of our car. But later that night we realized how ever so wrong I was...In a good way!
We made it to the venue a full hour and a half later than I was hoping to arrive, it was raining, and there tons of people already in line. I gave up my hopes of a front row show. When they allowed us in, they made us separate into a boy line and i girl line. WTF?? So again the men's line FLEW thru the door, we women were at a snails pace because of purses and such that needed to be searched. The venue was old and dank and not very impressive.

BUT, as we made it to the second row from the stage, we were regaled with Sammy Jo djing for nearly 3 hours. WOOTS!!!!! That man is gorgeous, I LOVE HIM!!! He smiled at me twice cause I'm sure hes in love with me as well. LOL. We met 2 super sweethearts, Alex and T.J. who were right in front of us. I loved chatting with them. We were tortured for about 20 minutes by the "opening act" called Wigs on Sticks. And they were just THAT, wigs on sticks! They "sang" songs out of the fifties I guess...old timey stuff. In between each song a voice talked to the crowd. We somewhat think this is the brainchild of Jake Shears cause its something insanely stupid that he would do. Guy thinks the voices we kept hearing were the Sisters. I'm not so sure.

FINALLY around 9:00 the SCISSOR SISTERS took the stage opening the show with Paul McCartney. Jake emerged in one of those damned Disney suits that I disdain so much. Ana was gorgeous as always. Del was looking quite scrumptious, Paddy was cuter than I expected, and Babbydaddy looks like hes lost alot of weight. The set list was different from New Orleans. I didn't like the order of the songs. Filthy Gorgeous was in the middle of the set. WTF?? By song 3 he was throwing water into the crowd which felt really good...I felt like I had stepped out of a shower. Jake relayed to the crowd that he had been thrown out of a bar in Boys Town earlier in the day because he didnt have his ID with him. It struck me funny how different their lives are in America. Anyone overseas would have known exactly WHO he was, HOW OLD he was and prolly what color his underwear was. But HERE...NA DA! Their encore was Take Your Moma and I Dont fell Like Dancing. I did catch a glimpse of Jake's ass-crack during the encore when he unzipped his pants and showed us "some REAL FRUIT." I was somewhat let down...Jake didn't strip, he didn't go nuts, and there seemed to be no climax to the show. Jake was alot more theatrical than he was in New Orleans. I was much more exaggerated in his movements and his facial expressions. I think the past several months of playing arenas has changed his style a bit. He is a SHOWMAN with high energy and a love for the crowd. As the roadies began taking down the stage, I begged and pleaded until one of them gave me a set list that had been danced on all night and he also handed me one of Babbydaddy's guitar pics. :)

I don't think they received the King Cake I sent to them. :( After the show we stayed by the stage door for about an hour in the rain. I noticed someone whispering in someone else's ear and then scurry off so Guy and I followed. We caught a glimpse of Jake in a back alley with Sammy Jo smoking a cigarette. We held eye contact for about 2-3 seconds. Security was yelling at us and I didn't feel as tho Jake was very receptive to fans at that moment. Guy thinks I'm overreacting but I sort of feel let down with this show. The crowd was a rougher crowd, they were shoving and pretty rude at times. I'm just ready to leave Chicago already.

Guys computer does not have the connection that I need to upload my pics so ill edit my posts when i get home to update them with pics. Hopefully Ill be able to update my blog after each show.

Anticipating the Unanticipated

IM OFF PEOPLE!!! And im late...Ill try to be in touch! MWAH!!

Rachel...see you in DALLAS!! WOOTS!!

FIRM PILLOW

Ive been SOOOO neglectful to my blog. :( But I have been so damn busy trying to get ready for my trip. Forgive me?

Anyhoo, this morning I was looking at Postsecret, as I do every Sunday. And this one REALLY disturbed me

It stopped me dead in my tracks!! The power of anonimity is amazing. The internet has liberated so many people of their weird personality quirks, their shyness, and their unfathomable secrets. Just thoguth I would share.

Now to update. I leave Friday morning to be a "groupie for a week." I cannot wait to get out of the DEN of HELL and feel the freedom of the open road and listen to the funk of the Scissor Sisters. It will be a trip of a lifetime!! Im sparing no expense. WOOTS!!
