Ok, here goes!

Well, Saturday night we went to the VB show. It was an interesting night. We ran into some people we knew from Sting's crew. It was good to see them. Our seats were ok - on Chris' side right behind the pit up a bit. Ang had the sign with her. We found a second row ticket on the ground that someone had lost... so we took turns going up front. Ang walked up with her sign and Sting saw it. He said something about what it said - then he said to Angie, "Oh, and you are looking very good tonight!" It was really funny and sweet. He knew we were there.

We went back up top and then a little while later he called us up... well, our friend Michele was right behind me as I ran up by Angie - then as we headed towards the front of the stage the security guard wouldn't let us up!!! He was such a jerk! He pushed and shoved us back - I have bruises all over my arm from him. We were just standing there and he hurt me, Angie and Michele. He said that we couldn't go up and that if we wanted to dance we could dance over there - pointing up to the seats. A$$hole.... sorry, but that's what he was. I was so mad and Angie was so upset. Sting saw what was going on and so did Chris and the rest of the band.

We went back to our seats very upset and ticked off. Our friend Matt was waiting for us. The night had been ruined. Ang and I decided to leave and go outside of the theatre. We were disgusted by it all. I went out to try and get some water. I was feeling pretty dehydrated and was afraid of passing out. I walked up to a vendor and asked for some water, that was right there... and the woman said, "NO! There is none here!" - she was pretty nasty about it. I said, "oh, great, I'm about ready to PASS OUT here because I'm dehydrated and you won't give me some water.. gee thanks!"... another woman next to me that worked there started to panic and looked around for me for a water fountain at least.

Whatever...

That was that and I said that Hershey would be better..... Sunday - off to Hershey. We arrived around 4 and got ready for the show right away. The stadium was pretty big. They had some of the seats blocked off. Huge stage... and after spending a rather large amount of money on 11th row seats.. our seats turned out to be 11th row in section A but way down the other end. We were far from the stage - it was a big disappointment. I watched for Chris.. and saw him just before the show but he was too far from me to get his attention in time. I saw Dominic though.

The show started and Angie had gone and stood in the center section with Michele - Michele had a ticket over there. She stood on the chair at one point when Sting asked to see the sign... he knew we were there early - he had spotted the sign early on and pointed to it. He read it aloud and said to Ang, "do you want to dance out there, or up here.." well you know she said up on stage of course. I in the meantime had started making my way over to Ang and then we all ran up front together. Matt included. Security was soooooo nice! They let us right threw no questions asked. I made sure Matt was with us and they let him threw as well. We were very happy.

Tom, one of the stage crew, came down the stairs and got us. They had seen what happened the night before and wanted to make sure it didn't happen again. We walked up the stairs and there we were watching the concert from the side of the stage!!!!! It was very cool. Chris saw us and finished playing... then he walked back towards us. I got a very nice hug and kiss and then he said, "Glad to see you guys made it again! What the hell happened last night?"... we filled him in. He shook his head in disgust and when he saw my arm he told me I should press charges, etc. He felt bad for us but was happy that we had another chance. The band was pretty ticked off the night before about what had happened. Chris had seen us struggling near the front of the stage. It was good to see Chris and talk for a minute. Roxanne finished and then we got ready - Ang loaned me her coin belt so I had that on my waste over my black shiny pants.. it looked cool. It is a fun belt because it jingles when you shake! haha... we walked out hand in hand.. Michele was with us as well. I had a huge smile on my face and walked right up to Sting... "HI!"... and then I leaned in to give him a kiss on the cheek.. well to my surprise I got a big, sloppy, wet kiss on the LIPS!!!!!! WOW! A kiss like that from STING! Woo hoo! hahahahaha... Anyway, he asked our names again and thought I said Jill at first and then said, "Oh, SUE!"... like he suddenly remembered. Then Angie and Michele. It was good to be up there once again. I was very nervous and shook like a leaf! We started with our backs to the audience an then slowly turned around. I used the coin belt very slinky like. It was fun. At one point I walked up by Chris - made it to the first part of the platform - didn't want to go any further because he was playing and I didn't want to screw him up... but we were looking eye to eye and I was trying to keep a serious like face, but sexy too and was trying not to laugh and make him laugh... He was into it. He started to walk towards me and got the end of his horn right in my chest! Yee Haa! I moved very sexy like towards it... it was fun and then he was done playing and started to laugh... like "I'm loving this and it's so much fun" kind of laugh. I laughed as well. It was AMAZING!!!! "Chris, you can stick your trumpet in my chest anytime!" hahahaha...

I jumped down from the platform. I had looked over to Kipper and pointed to him - and did the lick the lips thing to him kidding around. Smiled at Jason, Ross and the girls - Janice and I don't know the other girl's name. I didn't really remember seeing Dominic because he was by Angie.

I had gone right up behind Sting and he looked over his shoulder at me... MEOW! He slinked over to Ang at this one part of the song and told her to do the drop/backbend (Turkish Drop)... she couldn't because her back was bothering her.

The song was over and that was that. It was great to look out at the crowd and hear everyone screaming! Matt took pictures of us and Tom took some digital photos that he is going to send to us. COOL! I got the photos back tonight. I'm very excited about them.

We hung out for two more songs and then went down front between the barrier and stage... GREAT SEATS! I got some great photos down there and a couple of good ones of Chris! Don't worry - You'll all see the photos soon!

Last night was the Central Park show.... we were front row on Chris' side!!!!!!! He saw me wave to him and waved back when he realize that is was ME! Jason, Kipper, Sting - they all saw us and acknowledged. We were very excited. No dancing though - we didn't expect to. Ang brought the sign just to let them know that we were there... There was no way we could've even gotten up to dance - it would've been too dangerous and too many people probably would've tried to rush the stage, etc. as well. Not cool.

Cheb was great - he performed before Sting. Dennis Miller was there as well - he's too funny. Cheb came out for Desert Rose. Chris sounded and looked fantastic as usual!!! He played right by us a lot and Sting came our way quite a bit as well. I got some more great photos!

Angie and Michele got there picture in the NY Daily News today.. page 6!!!! Very cool.... I was behind Ang at the time so you can't really see me. We had sooooo much fun.

At the end of the show.. Sting came over looked at us, smiled and said to us... "OOOhhh, Belly Dancers!" and then shook his hips.. it was so cute!!!! Chris winked and waved good night to us as well. What a GREAT NIGHT!!!!

I will never forget any of this!!!! And look forward to future Sting shows - Spring 2001.... and of course when Chris does his solo tour.. which I really can't wait for!!!!!!
