I'm really sorry you're missing them yet again. I look forward to their next tour when they will support a CD that is really theirs, rather than this patched together Neil solo/CH sorta one.<BR/><BR/>Neil is quite the sweetheart. I was really hoping to take advantage of my fan club life membership this year and get to be at the soundcheck but it wasn't meant to be. I think I'll hang around to say hi though. They remember who it is that keeps their paychecks coming so they have always been accomodating to their fans. Now if I can just stop having these nightmares that I miss the concert...<BR/><BR/>Oh, and FWIW, my celebrity fantasies are pretty tame too - the ones with Neil they only include some kisses because I know he loves Sharon too much to cheat on her!Mary A Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08621414825323086139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11125127.post-13421312782243626252007-08-14T13:40:00.000-04:002007-08-14T13:40:00.000-04:00I gave away tickets to another concert show tonigh...I gave away tickets to another concert show tonight (NOT CH), as a friend I'd gotten them for couldn't go, and I didn't care, but the struggling on two low-paying jobs mail courier I gave them to was THRILLED. So, yeah, glad the giveaway CH tickets went to someone who could use them.<BR/> I used to have dreams about Jackson Browne. Thee best ones were us hanging out, not just meeting, but hanging out at places equivalent to a coffee bar. So, I'm not the only one who doesn't dream sweaty sex dreams for the celebrities we drool over? Jackson was always real nice in person when I'd see him at small shows, too. Blue October at 9:30 Club within the last year were all really nice to their fans, btw. Some truly conversant and decent musicians are out there:) p.s. -- my child is 13 -- 1994 is 13 years ago. I had to miss Jackson Browne's show the July my daughter was born. Hopefully, you'll get CH next time!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11125127.post-27603421881712521082007-08-12T16:50:00.000-04:002007-08-12T16:50:00.000-04:00Damn, damn, damn, damn, damn - I went to that show...Damn, damn, damn, damn, damn - I went to that show ALONE because I couldn't find anyone to go with me!! Oh, I wish I'd known... We could have semi-carpooled to the show.<BR/><BR/>The show was great, but chilly. I swear when I left Baltimore it was 90+ degrees and when I got to Philly it was 62. I shivered the entire show but I didn't care!!Liseysmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16751571582105976429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11125127.post-49503266108077473782007-08-12T14:51:00.000-04:002007-08-12T14:51:00.000-04:00M, you should post stuff like this earlier, as in ...M, you should post stuff like this earlier, as in not just hours before the show, then how's surprises going to reach you in time?!

Was at both NYC CH shows this week, and Neil was in fine voice, so his NPR/World Cafe thing surprised me (I listened earlier this evening)... I thought he sounded fine last night. <BR/><BR/>You wrote about imagining that Neil would be one of those people you'd like to hang out and chat with... I had the opportunity to meet him a week ago after the show in CT and he indeed is just that. We sat and talked for a good 20 minutes and he was very genuine and quite lovely and warm.<BR/><BR/>And I've always said, I'd love to hear him sing the phone book too... :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11125127.post-42380316971472540812007-08-10T21:33:00.000-04:002007-08-10T21:33:00.000-04:00You know we're sharing the same boat. But not onl...You know we're sharing the same boat. But not only the missing the CH show boat -- I also have those hanging-out-over-a-cup-of-coffee fantasies. <BR/><BR/>I mean, when I was younger, I did have my conversion to Mormonism and an entire big LDS wedding to Donny Osmond all planned out - but luckily that fell through. (Life without Coke Zero? Unthinkable.)<BR/><BR/>It must be hard for someone who has fans to have to live with the prospect of random interruption and recognition (maybe I'm projecting because I enjoy solitude though!) but I still give huge credit to those who are cordial when approached. Because in some ways, it's part of the job, ya know.<BR/><BR/>You're lucky to have that friendship with Dolby. And he's lucky to have a cool (and articulate, smart, insightful, witty) fan like you.Cynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06257007871257096529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11125127.post-29987022929682908462007-08-10T17:47:00.000-04:002007-08-10T17:47:00.000-04:00...but something tells me that if you'd been the o......but something tells me that if you'd been the one to snap them up, we wouldn't have gotten this lovely trip down memory lane. :o)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
