My Vegas Weekend with Barry and Friends!

Friday, May 1, 2009, 11:15 a.m.

As I sit at my computer today, I feel such a range of emotions. I'm so sad that it's all over. I'm thankful that I was able to do it. I smile when I think of all the new friends I made. I get teary when I think of how long it will be until I see them again. I laugh when I think of the adventures some of my new friends had, just getting to the Hilton. My head hurts when I think of the very loud 4 hours we spe… Continue

This Is My First Blog Post. . .

This is my first blog post, and I thought I would write a little about my history with Barry as well as my experience last Saturday night, October 4, 2008 at Ultimate Manilow: The Hits at the Las Vegas Hilton.

I took my 22 year-old son, who is not a Barry fan, but has very eclectic taste in music and is quite open-minded. I knew he would have fun just being in the theatre with all the excitement that surrounds Barry and his fans at his shows! It would also serve to help him understand the stran… Continue

Hi Laura,
hope you enjoy the shows. Sorry to hear about November.As you say, it is important to keep perspective, but it is very disappointing. Hopefully one day it will happen for you. Best wishes

Dear Laura,
yes I was at the Proms, down in front of one of the big screens. It was fantastic. I had only just returned form seeing Mr. Manilow in Las Vegas(my first and only visit I expect). What an unbelievable couple of weeks.
All the best

Hi Laura:
It's been a while since we've been in touch.
Hope you are doing well.
I just left you a pm in your box.
I just realized from reading Lani's message bellow that you've been to the Proms? Wow! How amazing.

Hi Laura, I read your review on the concert you went to alone. Wow, you really know how to express yourself! What a great review! Oh, those pictures of Barry are out of sight!! They are so perfect in my opinion. It sounds like that one song really, really, got to you and a lot of other women. Boy, I wish I could have seen that one. Barry looks to good in that red jacket, he looks great in just about everything he wears on stage any way. Just wanted to let you know that your review was just enjoyable and fun to read. I am so happy that you were able to go alone and enjoy the concert. Manilove, Connie

Hi Laura,

My husband and I were in the 4th row center section (Row D - Seats 26 & 27). We had a great time! I hope that Barry will still be at the Hilton during 2010. I also wonder when the new show that he has been rehearsing will start.

Take care.

Hi, Laura,
This is Diane who was sitting in front of you Saturday night. It was so wonderful to meet you and your family. Your parents were a delight to visit with and you were so friendly and nice to talk to. I was really struck by how similar our Barry stories were and how much we had in common.

I've had fun looking at your lovely page. You have some very nice pictures in your photo album and on your page. It is a nice escape from the rather stressful day I have had today. Only a few of my pictures turned out very good. I will email the best ones to you.

It is always a let down to come home and get back into the regular routine. But I must say, I couldn't have been happier to get back home to my girls. I missed them terribly. At least I have another trip to look forward to in May. I bet you can't wait until your Platinum in November. You will have a wonderful time. Both times I have met Barry were great. He knows how frightening he can be and will do his best to put you at ease. Just let him take the lead and you will do fine! I was nervous until he walked into the room. After he came in and seeing how kind he was to the people there, my knees stopped shaking.

I don't want this to be too long, so I will sign off. I would love to hear from you.

Take care,
Diane
