Shan's Story:

Hi all.. Jenn and I went to P.I last night....It was amazing..He was (I think) surprised that so many of us were there, it was pouring and the clouds were rolling in all nasty and dark..BUT to my shock, he ROCKED and it was a wonderful show..

Unfortunately, no glasses for AOTH :( Call me crazy but my heart flipped when he walked out to Atlanta with them on :)

But he was great, played the best songs and I LOST it when he came out in his silky, shiney outfit for the second show OMGG :) talk about HOT :) You guys he is just about the sexiest man I have ever laid my eyes on..he's gonna be 50? That is just not possible:)

He was messing with the crown about his age last night, LOL he was asking people to guess his age :) we FANS of TRUE nature, KNEW of course, and some people were joking with him & saying "25?" LOL and "35?" and he was like "YEAH, that's it, Im 25 " LOL:) "close" he said (and smiled the TO DIE FOR, AGELESS, DIMPLED, ADORABLE, MAKES MY HEART MELT SMILE ) OK OK Shan get a grip!! LOL... We were laughing, he reallly really interacted with US last night.

The highlight of our night was when he took a few requests and I was SCREAMING for him to sing My Fathers Chair and he eventually did sing it. He and I were both crying (my father passed away 3-22-97) it was beautiful and so was he singing it with tears in his eyes (DOES BARBARA KNOW HOW LUCKY SHE IS????)

THEN~~he went to sing "Free" off of Karma, by request, & he forgot the lyrics and JENN ( you go girl) was literally FLIPPING cuz she had the insert in her pocket and he TOOK IT FROM HER and used it to sing :) she was a grinning fool all the way home (hour and 1/2 ) LOL he made her day, year, life :)

We were right behind Bruce and Susan and Leslie so we were in the second row (or whatever ya wanna call it, not a row exactly, lol ) in the center of the stage :) it was GREAT and I can't tell you how many times ( I SWEAR ) I had eye contact with THE MAN himself :) he was superb and I can't wait to go to NYC for the Westbury show and then Philly the next day ..one question though?? WHAT AM I GOING TO DO WHEN HE IS DONE TOURING???:( OMG I just can't handle the pressure :( ~~~~wahhh~~~~~~~ ~~hating to admit it, but I was singing " wish I was Jessie's Girl " last night LMAO~~

Jenn's Story:

Well, "The Man" was certainly at his best last night at Pleasure Island! :) Shan and I had the best time!

It was a wet and nasty night and I thought for sure that they were going to cancel the first show.. but the lightning stopped and half way through the first show Shan and I were even able to take off our lovely yellow rain poncho's. :)

He, of course, opened with AOTH and went right into Living in Oz! I was so psyched since it is one of my favorite songs. :) He was wearing his Pleather outfit and looked as adorable as ever! :) He was nonstop on the guitar you could even smell the amps burning by the end of the second show.

During "Don't Talk to Strangers" he brought a bunch of kids up into the audience and sang with him. It was very adorable. :)

For the second show he opened with "Love Is Alright Tonight" And, he was wearing a really cool black silky and shiny type number. :) What ever it was... he was just too cute in it! :)

During the second show.. he started taking requests... he was great doing "She called me Bruce" and "Speak to the Sky" AND, the HIGHLIGHT of my night... someone requested "Free" (which he told the touching story behind why he wrote it) and he couldn't remember the words... I just happened to have my "Karma" CD insert in my pocket and with the help of Shan, Bruce and Susan, got his attention and he used MY "Karma" CD insert to sing to!!!! (I still haven't come down off the cloud.. poor Shan had to listen to me gloat the whole way home!) :) After "Free" he did a couple of other songs and he autographed someone's LP. THEN, he picked up my CD insert and asked who it belonged to.... And asked if I wanted him to sign it! Of course, at this point I was screaming that it was mine.... (sorry to the people that were standing near me if I pushed you in my excitement!) :) He handed it back down and I was in heaven for the rest of the night and will be for the rest of the year! :)

The show was great.... I am going to go through "Rick Withdrawal" for the next two weeks until we see him again in Westbury! :) But... until then....

I'll be wishing I had Barbie's Man! (corny I know...but I am in a state of Rick Bliss!) :)
