Ah, what a great day! I set out by myself (cause my friends pooped out on me) and stopped at my step-mom's house to get the video camera. Her daughter Pam was there and said "Hey sis, I'll go with ya" ! Yay! Company! And Pam's an excellent photographer too! So, it took about 4 hours to get there, we were plenty early so we roamed around and had some very good barbequed ribs - I love ribs... anyway we staked out our spot which was on a bench right in front of the stage with only some people sitting on the ground in front of us. SCORE!! But it was in the sun and it was SOOO hot and humid but at least it wasn't raining! Anthony performed first and was really good. He did his song from the Edy's CD. I said something about it and he asked if I had it and then had to explain that you had to buy two half gallons and then you got the CD free. He was really sweet. Next Gina Glockson performed, she was pretty good too, but we wanted JUSTIN! Finally he came on and was awesome! Pam says "OMG! He's HOT! hehehe... another convert! She was clicking away whilst I video'd. I think you'll all be happy with the results. I see that LST already made it to youtube, I didn't notice anyone else filming, but then I had more important things to concentrate on image Next he sang MY awesome again, then Space Cowboy and yes, he injected his humor into it, he even addressed that made-up word, said he looked it up! LOL!
 

So the meet & greet was half an hour later so we got in line, I think we were 6th. Talked to Anthony, he said he was singing to us because we had big smiles on our faces. I did notice that he looked at us quite often. I really enjoyed his performance. Talked to Gina for a minute while Pam was talking to J and then took a couple pics of them. My turn.. imageHow is it possible that he just keeps getting better looking? So I blathered for bit, I remember asking him if he'd seen the Flint videos and he had. He thanked us for coming so far even though I assured him it was only 4 hours this time. image Got my SQEEEEEZE and we left. Looking at my autographed pic, my name is a scribble that looks like "Mule" with curly que's on both ends Bwahahaha!!

So on the way home going south, there was a storm to our left and sun to our right. We saw about a dozen rainbows, some of them doubles! It was beautiful! See?

An omen of things to come perhaps?
