First comes January 31-HOB with The Rez or was it really Borderstone?

This venue was a new one for me. I was not prepared for this night at all. As reported by the wonderful man(who ever he really was) this was not like any of Gordon's concerts I have ever been to. I am so glad I did not sit in my VIP seat. Being directly at Gord's feet and singing along with a room full of Lightheads was one of the most awesome times I have ever had. My mystery man was close behind me protecting me from the other women who kept yelling I love you Gord. I finally let these women know that I loved Gordon the most and longer than they had,so stop yelling.

Two hours went by in the blink of an eye. I wanted to write down the set list but I hear the music and then I forget. Please forgive me for that. No concert will ever be like this songfest again.

Tonight-Agoura Hills, The Canyon Club. Again, a new venue for me. There were long tables where they packed us in like sardines. I will skip the dinner part as it left a whole lot to be desired. Gordon and the guys came out. There was some clapping and cheering but not enough for me.
I left my seat and walked toward the stage. I tried to get The Mans attention. He did not see me and started singing. I sat in an empty chair for a few songs and then tried again. If only that mystery man from last night was there to help me. Okay, here is a break between songs. I stood up and yelled "Excuse me Mr. Lightfoot(I had never called him that before). Finally I got his attention. I walked the rest of the way to the stage smiled at him and handed him a bouquet of long stemmed red and yellow roses. There, I did it. Gordon smiled back at me took the roses and said,"Thank you". I got a few tears in my eyes as I ran back to my chair. People were looking my way and telling me that was so cool and some other positive things.

Gordon's voice was stronger and he was looking mighty fine.
Last night after the concert I spoke to Gordon and the guys for a while and then left after taking some pictures.
Tonight after to concert Gordon came into the room actually looking for me to thank me for the roses. I had him sign a few things for me. My wonderful husband took some pictures of Gordon and me. Then totally in a dream state we left so we could start our hour and a half drive home.

Tomorrow after working half day we will head out for concert number three in a row. I think I have forgotten that I am 55 because after the last two nights I feel like I am 25 again. Thank you for reading all of this.
