I agree with you Maria, the Hilton became like a second home when we were there. I was comfortable each time I went there. It was off the strip, quiet and small which made it easy to find friends while we were there. Barry certainly brought class ...
i was shocked to hear about the new hotline as I have not been getting them lately and his upcoming surgery. maybe next year we can all meet in vegas at Paris if that is the new venue. Id love to be there on opening night!
Maureen, Hi. yesterday was a big mess I agree with the lack of communication. i called the fanclub and found out about the rumor being true as I got no hotline. I think everyone should have received one but calling the hilton yesterday was an exercise wasted. today I finally got thru and they are processing the refunds. I wanted to se ehim again this year one last time in november and now i feel awful sad. I lost money on the airfare $450. and I do hope he will be in vegas next year and we will hear someting in a few weeks.
OMG can you believe the hotline. I was really hoping for the original CD soon too as I'm craving new material, but I'd rather him perfect it than rush to get it. We'll have the romantic CD to hold us over though. I'm sure it'll be fantastic. I'm just so excited though. I love when Barry writes letters to us. It just makes my day a whole lot brighter. haha. I did hear the Proms too. I listened to it live from the UK. It was amazing. I so wish I could have been there but being able to hear it live ont he computer was the next best thing.
I'm great though. School is bringing me down a little just because I really do hate it, but I just get through the day and everything else is great for the most part. And yes I am enjoying PE. haha. We're just walking /running the track now which I like so I am enjoying it...for now, until we do something I don't particularly care for. But you get the back to school cold too? I was sick for almost a week with a horrible one. I got through it though because I had to go see a taping of Rachael Ray and I didn't want to miss it.
And I actually started working today. I'm working at the Waldbaum's right in town. I'm just training for now, but I actualy am enjoying it. It may be a good thing I'm wroking now because I have a feeling Barry is goign to be swinging his way east especially if the romance CD is released in say February. I always need some sort of money for Barry it seems, but I don't mind. But I'm just cashering, nothing too intense.
well i've just written like a whole novel here so I'll just shut up now. Hope all is well with you and enjoyed the day off today. I love when we get Mondays off. It's the best.
It would be so great to meet up with you again. Sharing the mutual excitement of the show was fantastic. Love meeting other Barry fans!!
Thank you for the kind comments about my pictures. I use a Canon Powershot SX110, in case you're looking for something that can get good pics, but that's not at a professional level. It has 9 megapixels and a 10x zoom. It works great, now that I've figured it out, LOL!! Takes a little practice!
I hope you have a great week, keep in touch, never know when we'll meet up again!!
Not even close. My friends have even noted how I've been in such a good mood this past week. i'm just so happy that Vegas happened and I got to see him 3 times in a row that I can't help but be chipper all day long. I just can't wait to see him again.
First week of school was good though. I feel so privileged as a senior because I get to sit in the senior section of the cafeteria now and you get so much more lean way from people and the classes are just all fun and easy. This will definitely be a good year though I can't wait to graduate at the same time.
And I've told everybody I could about Vegas. I've tried to spare some people, but the ones I know best have heard all about it, especially my parents. Like yesterday I had a father-daughter night with my dad and I would not shut up about Barry. haha. We even went to this mini golf place and it was Wizard of Oz themed and you kep thearing Dorothy say "I have a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore" or whatever she says and I was like "Dad! That's in Barry's opening sequence thingy!" haha.
Oh that's really cool how you like having student teachers because I've known some teachers in the past who can't stand having them. I usually don't mind having one as I always usually have one in at least one class every year.
This Labor Day weekend is going to be a beautiful one though. The weather has been so amazing lately especially as ithasn't been humid. But enjoy yours as well. :)
It was great meeting you in Vegas.
I had a wonderful time last weekend. I think it was the best weekend ever and that's because I got to spend time with so many friends I made on MMN, and I got to meet new fans as well. Bekah, Doreen's pride and joy niece was lovely as always, a breath of fresh air. Barry of course, was the highlight of the weekend and his performances were fantastic. I couldn't have asked for a better weekend.
I will be in Vegas again in November. I would like to see Barry one more this year.
Have a good week!
Maria
