There is a down side when filming one of his performance's though, to me anyway. It makes me feel like I'm losing touch with reality. Like I'm in a tunnel and I can only see what's in front of me, so I'm not aware of what's going on around me and I feel like I'm losing some of the magic of the performance, if you know what I mean.... Oh well....some things are worth suffering for I guess.

 

* * *  

Dinner was great, and near the end of it there's no one in there but us and about 5 waiter's who takes turns waiting on us, believe me when I say we kept them hopping too. LOL

 

As you know by now, as were leaving J walks in with his friend Mike and goes right up to Linda and gives her a hug. I see these two guys kinda rush in the room and the next thing you know one has his arms around my friend. But before any of us can think straight we see that it's Justin. Can you believe that? After that of course we're never able to think straight until we get outside, and even then it took awhile. LOL I have to say I just couldn't believe that happened. I mean of all the restaurants in that city he walked into ours. That was something let me tell you, I was stunned and still am thinking about it. It's still hard to believe that happened. And dang it if he didn't look good, but then again.... humm..... he always does, doesn't he? 

 

Let me tell you something, an older more grown up Justin is a sweet thing to glaze upon. I swear that man gets better looking with age. I know you heard this before and a lot of his fans know this first hand, but none of his picture's can compare to the real thing. Justin is just so much more alluring in person, he's so full of light. He shines from deep within his soul which in turn makes his outer beauty so much more glorious to behold in real life. And you can't help but have a smile on your face when in his present. Our guy seemed to be full of energy and very up and ready for anything that night. He was in such a good mood, he made us all feel very dear to him, he has a way of doing that you know.

 

After I got my hello and hug, and maybe a kiss can't remember that. I went back to my seat which was at the table next to theirs and waited till the girls were ready to leave, which wasn't very long as no one wanted to intrude while they ate. As we're leaving (again), I asked him in passing, how many songs will he sing, he says just one. I was kinda of bummed to hear that but he gave me a big smile so I forgave him. LOL Not that it was up to him or anything like that, I'm sure. But two is always better than one. I left with a big time smile on my face. We all had one for that matter, and there they stayed for rest of the night and beyond. LOL

 

We find the place with no problem, but we had to wait to get in as you know. It was fun talking to the different people while waiting. Some of them really liked J too and were very happy to receive the gift's Mary brought. It was fun giving them out, so many people we're wearing J that night. LOL

J got in about 10 minutes before us. When it was our turn to go in I yelled at the bouncer for not wanting to look at my ID like he did everyone else's.  (Just kidding I didn't yell, but I did tell him he hurt my feelings). :)

 

The show got off to a late start, it started at 8:30 instead of 8:00 but no one seemed to care. We had the best seats too. Good timing again.

Soon J comes by and gives us all hugs and kisses, I think he was passing out kisses again, but believe it or not that's hard to remember. LOL

I pretty much stayed in my seat the whole night except when I went to the bar twice.  Dang their drinks were strong, and I'm not really much of a drinker so you know I wasn't feeling any pain. LOL We were seating up front and J was in a booth in the back. So I didn't see much of him before his performance. I didn't have anything to say to him, not really so I left him alone. I knew that he was holding court in his booth and mingling in the crowd at times. I could see him sometimes if I looked that way, but it was kinda dark back there. It was very cool to be in a situation like that believe you me. I'd love to be able to do something like that again.

 

The whole show that night was just so awesome, everyone was fabulous. I loved everyone. I was in a very loving mood  in case you didn't know. LOL. Every thing was just sooooooooo perfect. And then DRUM ROLL!!!! it's J's turn.  You know I think I'll let my video tell you what happens then.   Sorry but I'll never finish this post if I got started on that. LOL

 

After the show and auction, I'm still sitting at our table with Mary and a friend of hers, when Patrice came back to say I should go talk to J. I did want to film him again, and on our drive down Linda and I discussed the possibility of doing an interview with him. So I asked Patrice if she'd go ask him if we could. She comes back with a yes and so I grab my camera and off I go. It turns out Linda's  already at their table, so I say hi to everyone and introduce myself to his friend Mike and sat down. I asked J if he'd say a few words to his fans and he seemed very happy to do so. When it was over, I thanked him and wished him luck with what ever he was doing and went back to my table.

 

Not to long after that when everyone's back at our table J comes over again for the forth or fifth time. He came before to talk to Linda about the auction, then he was there when the auction was going on. This time he comes to say his good bye's. He gives us all another hug and this time I did get a kiss on the cheek, That one I remembered because it was kinda wet. YUMMY!!! We all were sad to see him leave of course, but we stayed till the end and still had a blast.

 

I wish I could go on the 19th and do it all again but I can't. I hope this show's going to be like Crash Mansion was for us. It was so intimate and joyous there, a fun time was truly had by all. Good friends, good music and Justin. Now I ask, what more could an old gal ask for I'd like to know.

 

I won't bore you with the rest of our trip, but just so you know we had the very best of times. I do want to thank Linda though for wanting to go with me, because if she didn't I would never have went alone. 

So big hugs to you girlfriend.
