Wow! Loreena "rocked" as usual! And the Lighting! What fabulous colors! And there was even a few times when it had that "fishtank" look, where it seems like everyone on stage is under water. And the BLUE! AWESOME! The Blue was so beautiful Even more beautiful than on the album cover. (If that's possible! )
I can't believe my luck tonight! My bro. got me the ticket as an early birthday present. But...when he first checked about getting the ticket, he couldn't get any. The website wasn't working right or something. I told him to check back. He expected me to remind him, and I figured he'd remember. So on Tuesday when I asked for my ticket... Aaack! And they were sold out! Thank God the venue held a few tickets back, and released them a couple days later! And the best part? It was 10th row, center!!!
I thought I was running super late, and ended up parking near one of the buses. I also lucked out, that they had the doors on that side open, and the guy who had to scan my preprinted ticket was right there! I went right to my seat! Less than 5 minutes later, the lights went down! Whew!
I bought a 'tote bag' and a t-shirt. The items are now made of Hemp, so the prices are a tad higher than I expected. (When I attended her concert in S.F., the t-shirts were $20.00 each. T-shirts are now $35.00 each!! Eep! )
The lady seated to my left, may have been tired or something. We barely spoke. She wasn't terribly social, and was either 'stone-faced' or looked like she was meditating during the show. She rarely applauded, and seemed unhappy that we got two encores. Shame really. I like to make new friends and be sociable at events like this. (Perhaps she had a Migraine? ) I hope she feels better soon.
There were 2 empty seats to my right, for the first half. For the second half, two people and their 4 & 1/2 year old had moved down from higher up. (A friend of theirs was on their right, and had told them about the seats. ) Surprisingly, the 4 & 1/2 year old was quite well behaved, and these people did enjoy the concert. We chatted briefly after the show. :-)
I hung out afterward, and chatted with a few other people, while waiting to see Loreena. (And one of them is already on tribe! I need to see if I can find her! ) We waited about an hour, but it was well worth it! I got her autograph for the second time, and a hug. And got to chat with her for a couple minutes.
She has wonderful people working for and with her, and I appreciate all their help and kindness.
I wished 'safe travel' to them, and headed back home.
They have a LOT of miles to travel this morning, as they are headed to Seattle. (One driver said about 800 miles. ) Please keep them all in your thoughts, prayers, or whatever, so they may arrive safely, and finish this tour safely. (They only have a couple more shows left. )
Please forgive me if I rambled... It's that feeling you get after a great concert, when you want to tell everyone you know about it. (And go out for pie or something afterward. :-( I didn't go out for pie. I started this tribe instead! ;-P )
