Shelly is some kind of woman. She is one of our new moderators. Shelly had no ticket and drove in just to meet us and spend time with us. We talked her into checking to see if she could get a ticket, and low and behold (you’ve seen the post) she got in.






SHELLY AKA SK888 AND ELLIOTT

As we walked back to the arena I decided to put the album back in the car. No use carrying it all night RIGHT! As Linda and I began to walk to the arena, Mary (Pilatesmom)called and wanted to meet us. She is a petite sweet spirited woman. With big hugs finished we walked to the car and then started for the arena.



MARY AKA PILATESMOM TOUCHING THE IDOL TRUCK



My cell rang (it rang more Wednesday than it has in six months). This call I didn’t want to miss. It was Mike. HE HAD A BACKSTAGE PASS FOR ME. My friend didn’t have one, sooo gracious Mike and his wife Cathy agreed to drive me to Linda’s home after the meet and greet. It was in the opposite direction they needed to go. So Linda went into the arena, Mary and I ran back to the car for the album. I kept saying to her, “Okay I’m a grown woman I’m not going to cry, I’m a grown woman I’m not going to cry.” Bawling starts. No tissue. Okay its stopped. I’m in control.

We separate and find our seat locations. I can see I’m down the wrong isle. I need to be the opposite end of the row for my seat. There’s only one young man sitting in the row above mine so I ask if I might pass by him to get to my seat. No matter what anyone says the new 26 is NOT 62. I can’t do seat jumping anymore. He graciously lets me pass stating, be careful there is food and drink here on the floor. “Thank you I don’t want to break my back now I just got a backstage pass.” You would have thought I won 100 million in the lottery by his reaction. He wanted to know how. I told him only what I knew and he said he’d been trying and trying to get some. When he asked who I wanted to see I told him Elliott you thought I won another 100 mil. “That’s who I’m here to see. He’s the only reason I’m here. Oh man, can you tell him he has a big fan here in San Jose. Well, Mike Rudolf I’m telling him now and all the Etrainers too. He is one cutie patootie. He even helped me with my glows bracelet. I gave him the rest for him and his friends. As he grooved to “Trouble” standing up he had two glow sticks stuck on his ears like pencils. What site! I’m just sorry I didn’t get a picture. Off in the distance I could see Mary’s green hat bobbing up and down to the beat of the music. Oh ya, floor seats nearer stage.




MIKE RUDOLPH IS A HUGE ELLIOT FAN.

Gogo, You looked great....why'd you delete?

MORE GOGO TELL US MORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!









GOIN TO A GOGO


:etrain: :eisfree: :eisfree: :eisfree: :eisfree:

GoGo...your 'recaps' are AWESOME!! Lovin the pics too! :wub:

Great story and pics Gogo. I'm so happy that Shelley decided to go. I wish I could have met all of ya, but maybe next time Elliott's in Northern California!

:etrain: :woohoo:

I wished you could have to Emjay. Maybe a solo concert and we can plan a big even like in Richmond. Maybe the So. Ca fans can come up too. I know a lady in NM that would like to come I'm sure. :grouphug:

Thanks for the help on the signature.

Nice pictures of fellow E-Trainers . Great to read about them. It was also great reading about the Elliott fan, Mike Rudolf, who was so excited that you were an Elliott fan and that you would meet Elliott later.

Off to read part 3.

hey I saw many young kids with Elliott signs and shirts. do you see the two groups of kids sitting across the stage from each other way up on the side seats? both groups wore the same Elliott Yamin shirts.

Do you also noticed Gogo from a distance that people next to me, were giving me looks during E's performance? they were probably wondering if they should go ahead and call 911~ :rotfl:

NO I didn't see them. Rats. I don't believe it. You were so calm when you were around me. But I would have recognized the green hat as the cuffed you and carried you out. :rotfl:

no cuffs, just a straight jacket! :blink:

Great post and great pics. Thanks for sharing. :)
