THE BEST NIGHT EVER!!!!!!!

OKAY FIRST LET'S START THE DAY WITH THE BEST HUSBAND EVER. HE SAT UP LATE AND LOST PRECIOUS SLEEP TO GET ME 5 STAR VIP TICKETS. YOU ROCK HONEY! SO I HAVE BEEN COUNTING DOWN THE DAYS SINCE MARCH AND IT WAS FINALLY HERE. WE DROPPED OFF THE KIDS AT GRANDMA'S GOT READY AND TOOK OFF TO GRAB SOME LUNCH BEFORE THE SHOW. THEN WE TOOK A BRIEF SHOPPING BREAK. ANOTHER BRIEF BREAK AT THE PARK TO USE THE REST ROOM THEN OFF TO THE CONCERT. WHEN WE PULLED IN WE COULD HEAR JOE ELLIOTT DOING SOUND CHECK FROM OUR CAR. AWESOME! THEN WE GOT CHECKED IN. DID A LITTLE SHOPPING AND HEADED OFF TO THE VIP TENT FOR FREE BEER, WATER, FOOD ETC. WE STUCK TO JUST THE WATER.
WE MET UP WITH MY VERY BEST FRIEND AND HER BOYFRIEND AND SISTER. WE GOT OUR 5 STAR GOODY BAG FULL OF ALL KINDS OF DEF LEPPARD STUFF! THEN OFF TO OUR SEATS. WE HAD NEVER BEEN TO THIS VENUE OR UP THIS CLOSE BEFORE. SO BEING CONCERT VIRGINS WE SAT DOWN IN ROW C SEATS 15 AND 16. THE SEATS WERE LESS THAN DESIRABLE. TO SAY THE LEAST WE WERE DISAPPOINTED. THEY WERE CLOSE BUT OFF TO THE SIDE AND YOU COULDN'T SEE ALL THE STAGE. THERE WERE SOME FOLDING CHAIRS RIGHT UP FRONT AND I SAID WONDER HOW YOU GET THOSE SEATS. THEN WE NOTICED OTHER PEOPLE FROM OUR 5 STAR GROUP DOWN THERE. HUBBY ASKED THE SECURITY GAL IF WE WERE IN THE RIGHT SPOT. SHE SAID NO AND POINTED US TO THE THIRD ROW OF FOLDING CHAIRS. MY NIGHT JUST GOT A LOT BETTER. AS WE CONTINUED DOWN THE ROW WE HADN'T FOUND SEATS 15 OR 16 YET COULD IT BE WE WERE CENTER STAGE NEXT TO THE CAT WALK? OH YES WE WERE MY DREAMS COME TRUE! THIS WILL NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN IN A MILLION YEARS.
THIS IS A GREAT SPOT FOR THE FIRST TO BANDS WE GOT GUITAR PICKS AND GREAT PHOTOS, BUT DIDN'T GET TO TOUCH ANYONE, BUT THOSE BANDS DON'T USE THE CAT WALK BUT I KNEW I REALLY WAS IN THE BEST SPOT.

FIRST UP CHEAP TRICK. AMAZING IN CONCERT. I REALLY ENJOYED THEM.


NEXT UP POISON. THEY ROCKED OUT. HOWEVER THE GIRL 2 ROWS BACK WAS DRUNK AND TRIED TO PUSH HER WAY UP. SHE WAS QUITE ANNOYING. SHE TRIED TO CLIMB OVER THE CHAIRS AND FELL INTO THE STAGE SPILLING BEER ALL OVER THE CAT WALK AND BREAKING THE LIGHT RIGGING OFF THE SIDE OF THE CATWALK. BUT REALLY SHE WAS AN ANGEL, BECAUSE THE GUYS CAME OUT TO FIX THE LIGHTS BUT HAD TROUBLE REACHING THE BOLT. NEVER FEAR MY HUBBY STEPPED UP AND OFFERED TO TIGHTEN THE BOLT FOR THE GUY FROM A BETTER ANGLE. THIS GOT US A HANDFUL OF DEF LEPPARD GUITAR PICKS. YEAH BABY!



NEXT THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE NIGHT MY DEF LEPPARD BOYS! DON'T THEY ALL LOOK GREAT! WE HAD THE VERY BEST OF SEATS. EACH TIME THEY CAME DOWN THE CAT WALK THEY STOPPED IN FRONT OF US TO PLAY. I WAS LESS THAN AN ARMS LENGTH FROM THEM. JOE ELLIOTT SMACKED MY HAND 2 TIMES AND LET ME TELL YOU HE HITS HARD. PHIL TOUCHED ME THREE TIMES. GOT TO SHAKE RICK ALLEN'S HAND AT THE END. I STILL HADN'T GOT TO TOUCH SAV, WHICH WAS WHO I REALLY WANTED. HE HAD COME OVER AND PLAYED RIGHT BY US A FEW TIMES, AND ONCE COMPLAINED TO US HOW HOT IT WAS, BUT NO HAND SHAKES YET. BUT RIGHT BEFORE THEY WENT OFF STAGE HE CAME DOWN OUR SIDE OF THE CAT WALK AND YES I GOT HIM. HE WAS RIGHT HE WAS HOT THAT GLOVE OF HIS WAS VERY SWEATY. I WAS IN HEAVEN. ONLY ONE I DIDN'T GET WAS VIVIAN AND THAT'S OK I'M A VERY VERY HAPPY GIRL. HERE ARE PICS TO WET YOUR APPETITE I'LL POST MORE SOON.
