Sadly, I cannot. I had to work the evening of the concert and could not find a way out of it. But I couldn't bear the thought of Gordon being within a 20-mile radius of my home and not at least seeing his tour bus or something! So after I finished working, my husband and I drove into Portland. We arrived about 20 minutes before the show ended, and we entered the hall as people were leaving. I was fortunate enough to be allowed to stay, so I got to introduce myself to Gordon, shake his hand, look into his eyes, and get his autograph on a poster I won in a drawing after his April '00 show on the Oregon coast. I didn't have the guts to ask to have my photo taken with him, which I now regret! I just hardly knew how to act -- this was a 26-year-old dream come true!!! My life is now complete, except for that non-existant photo!!!
