Well, it's done. Thanks for the nice messages, everybody.

There were a couple of problems. On opening night, one of the microphones stopped working (not while being used), the left footrest of my wheelchair fell off while I was using it on stage, and a spotlight came crashing down from the ceiling where a lot of us had been not long before. But the rest of the show went fine for the next three nights, and teachers and people in school were telling me how funny I was in it.

Congrats, LAFB! I am surprized that our old friend Mike R. Phone would have been uncooperative, as omnipresent as he is on the daytime show!

Nickname the W-chair Footofi, and keep the Zombies away from the followspots!

ummm, were you SUPPOSED to be funny in it?

cheers,
Ringo

We're baaaack! Bon Jovi was sold out at the Pepsi Arena. They had 3 satellite dishes on stage that showed Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora up close and a laser light show. They played for almost 2 hours. The Goo Goo Dolls was the opening band; they played for 45 minutes. My ears are ringing from all the screaming and shouting near us. I saw hairstyles on some women that I haven't seen in 30-40 years! We had a great time together.

Oh yeah, right, Connie. You took LAFB to see Aerosmith. Bon Jovi is more my speed.
Elaine and I drank beer during the concert and she's still 6 months short of being 21 so that was my daring do for the the evening. She's staying at home tonight and returning to college tomorrow morning.

OMG! It's a good thing no one was hurt when that light came crashing down. (Are you sure Count Petofi wasn't there??)

Im glad it all worked out well for you though. You must have had a blast! I can remember doing a play when I was 14 (that long ago) and between the crazy rehearsals, no airconditioning (it was late June) and the frazzled nerves, it was one of the best times I can remember having during my teen years.

I bet you can't wait for the next one.

Glad you had a good time, Carol.

30 to 40 year old women's hairstyles!!!?

Now *that* would have been worth the admission price to me! LOL!

Well, jennifer, I've been through the Disney On Ice, Stars on Ice, Barnum & Bailey Circus, etc. My last concert before this one was when I took my daughter & her friend to see the Backstreet Boys. I paid extra for floor seats and we still couldn't see them very well. She denies it but I think she wanted me to join her to pay for the parking garage fee, the outrageously priced Bon Jovi items, and the snack food. It was easily a $100 night plus tickets.

Dom, you would not believe what I saw! Beehives, bouffants, straight hair parted down the middle(I think this style is coming back, right?), Dynasty/Falcon Crest big hair, over processed dye jobs with roots, over processed perms, spikes in day-glo colors, etc. It was culture shock for this old broad! Maybe even for my daughter who looked at some of these styles like they were from another planet!

Sounds like a blast, Carol!!

LAFB, congratulations on your success! Sounds like you could've made your own blooper reel. Was your mom there when the light came crashing down? Eek!
