Bolt of Blue

So last night there was drama at the show. But to make a long story short, I cried cause I’m too damn sensitive and was actually called George W. Bush as an insult. I’m just not used to being called ugly names everyday by two huge guys for trying to get two inches of space in order to breathe. Way too physical of a show last night. And yes, I don’t think they have shows like this in Omaha! So go home! (Note – the two mean assholes that literally 30 girls wanted to kill for me were from there but I mean no offense to anyone from that city aside from the already mentioned idiots.)

It was great fun of course though two chants of Late Bar didn’t do the trick and Simon definitely heard us. I was right in front of him – finally against the rail. The LeBon girls were there. And all in all, it rocked. I was right in front of Simon and boy did we get a view! Plenty of Simon moments… after one encore, I was calling for Warren to come over because he never really reaches down to the audience. Instead, Simon does a bow and takes my hand and gives it a firm shake. That was funny…

Night #3 was much better… the show was rocking… Warren kicked some major ass during ‘Ordinary World’. And they played ‘Secret Oktober’ and ‘Friends of Mine’ and ‘Planet Earth’. I also got to talk briefly to Warren and told him they better play Late Bar. He is such a down to earth sweetheart.

I’m exhausted. Two more nights. I’ll cry when it’s all over. Maybe more from the physically pain than anything else. Thank god it’s Labor Day weekend. I’ll have a bit of time to recover before it’s back to work. Back to real life.

My feet are aching. My ears are still ringing.

I need to get earplugs bad. And I’ll be doing that along with getting insoles and picking up the photos I dropped off this morning. Took a whole roll of film last night.

Awesome time. Better than the first night. Totally rocking. Yasmin was there sans kids. Lovely. She is seriously one of the most beautiful women on the planet. I’ve never seen her in person so I was in awe.

They played ‘Anyone Out There’ and I almost cried. I got teary eyed. And they also played ‘All She Wants Is’ and ‘Wild Boys’. I’m glad they are mixing it up though they teased us with not playing ‘Late Bar’. Finally succeeded in getting a group of us to chant for the song and I think the guys heard us. When they came back for an encore, Simon said, ‘Should we tell them about Late Bar?” And Warren said something to the effect of, “Tonight isn’t the night for that one, you’ll have to wait…”

Afterwards, I walked out with two of my friends and we noticed their tour manager waiting out front with security. And sure enough, a limo pulled up right next to the sidewalk we stopped at. And then Yasmin walks out – stunning! And then Warren and Simon walk out. We were able to tell them as they walked by what an awesome show it was. And that was it…

So now I’m recovering. Going to fetch the photos at lunch and track down some mags I need to get.

On a side note, I think I’m going to either redesign my personal site yet again though I do love this layout or make my log look totally different and have a link icon on the main page somewhere to come straight here. I don’t know yet. We’ll see…
