So, here's my review:
My dad and I arrived at the place where the concert was being held at around 1/2 hour before the doors opened.. so we just waited for a while, ya know, then the doors opened, then we went to the merchandising table because I wanted to get two t-shirts, one of Jimmy Wayne and Lonestar.. and they are pretty nice, so I put both of them on.. and had Jimmy Wayne shirt on first, haha.. so finally, the show started, and this guy came out and said that he was gonna sing one song for us, and the song was "The Good Stuff" and he did pretty good! I was impressed.. then JIMMY WAYNE came out! I was so excited.. he sang all of his songs, and I just got teary eyed at "Stay Gone" and "I Love You This Much".. he is really amazing to see in concert, and he had a lot of emotion and I really liked that. So, I got to meet him! But I didn't get my pic taken, because it was too much going on, there were a lot of people, hogging and pushing everybody so they could meet him, so I just had him sign my CD cover and he smiled and I told him thanks and he said thank you! He was pretty nice, and oh, wow, he looked BETTER in person, haha. I took probably one roll of Jimmy, and I'm pretty sure, in some pictures, he looked directly at me, and I got goosebumps when he did that! Then.. I went back to my seats, and waited for Lonestar, and oh, the wait was so long, haha.. and THEY FINALLY CAME ON! I was so pumped and I was singing so loud, and Richie noticed, LOL. They opened with "Front Porch Lookin' In".. They basically sang all of their hits... and well.. guess what....
I... MET.... THEM.....
Want to know how I did? Well...
I had a sign and it said "Everything's Changed, Except the way.... I want a pic with you!" and I just stood up and showed Richie my poster.. and Richie was reading it.. and makes a face and goes "C'mon on up here!" and I did! So I go up there, and I meet Richie.. and I tap on him on his shoulder.. and he smiles and turns around and takes a pic with me.. and he signed my cd cover..and so i went over to Michael, and did the same thing, then I turned to Dean and Dean grabbed me, and I so did not expect it.. then he held both of my hands and started dancing, so I had to dance, and I was like... "is this REALLY happening...?" LOL.. I'll NEVER forget it! I was ONLY the one he danced with at the concert.. how crazy is that? So I had my pic taken with him, then Dean asked me if I wanted to go over and meet Keech, so I did, I went over, and Dean helped me to get over this big speaker that was on the floor, and he just held my hand and went over with me, and gave him my camera. So I met Keech and had my pic taken and got his autograph. then Dean walked me over to the other side, and I thanked him and he just smiled and so I got offstage, and I was pretty much.. dazed! I got in FRONT of 4,000 people, and I've never, ever, ever done that in my entire life. And I am so proud of myself and I actually went and did it! I'm so glad, and it'll be something I'll never forget! So, when they sang "Everything's Changed".. near the end, when Richie sang the line - "Everything's changed, except the way I feel about you".. and Richie looked at me and smiled and winked and I just smiled back! He remembered.. hehe.. so I took a lot of pictures.. 3 rolls.. and hopefully they turn out.. especially the ones of me with the guys, individually! Dean saw me taking a pic of him, so he was like.. 'wait", and made a funny face so I took a pic, and gave him thumbs up and he smiled.. At one point, somebody yelled something at Richie and Richie acted like he was insulted and yelled back.. it was HILARIOUS! They also sang a lot of cover hits.. that was awesome, and they sang "Margaritaville" and that was so good!!
At the end, they left, and we were cheering, and we wanted them back, and we saw the door open and close, open and close, and it was Keech, peeking out! LOL, we were laughing, then finally, Keech opened the door all the way and they came back out! Richie's little boy and girl came up onstage, and it was so cute, his son was standing behind him, and his little girl was sitting on his lap, almost and Richie just sang "Amazed".. It was an amazing experience, and I had such a great time, and I am so glad I went. I can't believe I didn't want to go few weeks ago! In the words of Dierks Bentley - "What was I thinkin'?!" I had a blast! I really loved the way how they were so personal with us, and it was great! We laughed and sang along..

I looked behind me and Keech in the pic, and I see Richie GOOFING OFF.. he had his tongue out and he was looking funny.. so I knew why.. LOL)
Seriously you guys, I don't know what made me GET UP THERE and DO IT.. it was.. wow! It'll be something I'll never forget!!
Mike took the picture of me with Richie, then Richie took a picture of me with Mike, then Mike took a picture of me with Dean, then Dean took a picture of me with Keech. Whew. That was confusing!
