ALBANY, NEW YORK

Image

Tonight’s show is at the PALACE THEATRE

Albany is the capital city of the US state of New York. Albany was permanently settled in 1614, officially chartered as a city in 1686, and became the capital of New York in 1797. It is the oldest surviving settlement from the original thirteen colonies, and the oldest continuously chartered city in the United States.

In the late 18th century and most of the 19th century, Albany was a center of transportation. It is located on the north end of the navigable Hudson River (the first steamboat service connected Albany and New York City). Albany has been a center of both state government and higher education for over a century, and much of the rest of its economy has been dependent on health care services.

Albany is known for its extensive history, culture, architecture, and institutions of higher education. Albany is a two-time All-America City Award winner (1991 and 2009).

The Venue
The Palace Theatre was originally built as an RKO movie palace. Construction took place from June 1930 to October 1931. When it opened it was Albany's largest movie theater and the third largest in the world. The Palace is considered an excellent example of the architect's atmospheric theatres. In 1979 it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The interior is designed and decorated in the Austrian Baroque style. The foyer, between the lobby and main entrance, has red marble staircases decorated in scrollwork, cartouches, and garlands. The wrought iron railing is foliated. Murals by two Hungarian artists decorate the walls.

The balcony level extends over two-thirds of the sloping main floor. The heavily decorated ceilings and walls include pilasters rising to complex entablatures, statuary, and arches framing the wall boxes. A Czech made crystal chandelier hangs from the ceiling. The orchestra pit can be raised and lowered by an elevator.

The Theatre is home to the Albany Symphony and has hosted concerts by many famous artists, including The Rolling Stones, Genesis, Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band, Bob Dylan & Jonas Brothers, among others.

Forecast is partly cloudy with a high of 85…low of 69
Allison will open
Venue is is seated and holds 2844. It is SOLD OUT

fangurl1964' date='Aug 24th 2010, 1:03 AM

So I survived the concert :w00t: My pics are grainy couldn't get a good one to save my life, just too far away I guess. I did vids of Fever, TCB, and either strut or SFW but I can't think right now, so I am not sure :haha: The vids were ok, but shaky. Partly because I was so damn far away, and partly because I have never done video before. Good enough for me to enjoy anyway, LOL.



I honestly don't have a coherent thought right now, so just a few things:



1. Adam DOES sound different in person; more effeminate than I would have ever expected

2. I got Monte's autograph, and even shared a couple of words with him about how great he shreds a guitar, and he thanked me :w00t: :w00t: :w00t:

3. Tommy walked by us, kissed a pretty girl, then kept on walking. He didn't stop at all.

4. I SAW ADAM UP CLOSE AND GOT HIS AUTOGRAPH!! I also told him how great he was, and got a quick look and a thanks from him before he moved on. The security were like 'no pictures!' which everyone promptly ignored. None of my pics of him at the gate turned out, but my sister got a good one.



The only thing that I am truly upset with myself for, was when the guards said: move back he is coming over, and I saw him walk my way, I totally lost my cool and barrelled to near the front :( I thought I would never do that, but everyone was suddenly pushing and shoving, and I wasnt any better. I hope I never conduct myself that way again.... but just before that I did let a young 10 or 12 year old right in front of me to get monte's signature, so at least I had my sanity at that moment, and acted like the person I really am. I just don't know what happened to me, and it is sort of coloring my experience a bit. I never, ever thought I would do anything like that - it was like I was possessed or something, and I don't like it.

Otherwise, my overall experience was awesome, and I will do a more extensive recap when I get home later tomorrow.

MY ALBANY, NY REVIEW
My daughter and I had a 1 & 1/2 hour drive yesterday afternoon to the Palace Theatre.
We arrived about 4:45 pm and thankfully the rain had stopped! As soon as we got off the
exit and got to the light the theatre was right in front of us and it said Adam's name!! I got
a pic while at the light.

Image

We drove up a hill and asked a woman where we could park. So we went to the street nearby
and parked in an open parking lot. I paid but Adam was worth it since I wanted us to hurry
and see if we could see Adam by the buses.

We went to the barricades and we were told by fans that Adam had come around 1:30pm
and he came out but didn't sign yet. We saw the band and dancers. The security guard, Steve
told us that Adam was inside eating. I didn't think so. I took pics of Tommy when I saw him
coming down the street. He also waved to us.

Image

Image
All afternoon before the show we saw everyone but Adam. At around 7:08pm I saw someone
open the bus door and all I could see at first was very black hair. I knew it was Adam!!! He
came off and everyone screamed. I took three pics, so I thought but ended up with only
one!!! He smiled at us. He looked so fresh and cute!!! I knew we'd see him!!!

Image

We stayed through almost all of Alison's set. We could hear her through the door outside
while we were at the barricade. We wanted to see Tommy but he wasn't around. Adam
of course never came back outside and I knew he must have been getting ready for the
show. We saw the crew roll out an exercise bike and I said that it must have been Adam's
because in a recent interview he had said he just got done exercising on his bike for a 1/2
hour. When I said that, they covered it with a large black box that said Adam's name on it!
It was sooooo cute that it was his!!!

I heard screams at the front of the building but we couldn't see anything. My daughter ran
to see but she said there was nothing. Soon after I saw a few people walk by and one
was Adam's mom!!! That must be what the screaming was. She didn't look at us and I felt
awkward just snapping a pic so I didn't. She walked by us again later. We also saw Neil
out there but he always looks like he wants NOTHING to do with the fans. Oh well. No pic
of him either, meanie! :haha:

So around the end of Alison's set we went inside the lobby and got a snack and
headed for the restroom since I had to go for 5 hours but didn't want to miss Adam!

When I was walking out of the ladies room I guessed that Alison's set was over because
the line was a mile long! Whew! Thank goodness I got in on time!!

We walked around the corner and saw the huge backdrop pic of Adam. I gasped!!!
Image

When we were walking to go to our seats my daughter saw a countdown clock
at the soundboard (?) and it said there was 20 more minutes left before Adam was coming on.
It was funny because it sounded like she meant we needed to hurry to our seats but we
were only rows away from them! I knew exactly where we needed to go to our seats from
looking at the seating chart online!

The crew was setting up Adam's stuff on stage and music was playing. People were
dancing and I was so excited to see him since this was the last of our tour. We were 6th
row center and I had my not brand new camera since I left my brand new "SUZ526" camera
home cuz they made me check it in Hyannis and I didn't want to go through that again. But
guess what? They didn't even check my pocketbook this time! I could have had close up
shots and vids :angry:

I took parts of vids of all his songs to have the memory of. I don't think I had enough room
on that camera to take the full concert. I just wanted the memories. They came out great
though. Not HQ but still really good! YUM!

Image
When IIHY ended, we both agreed we'd run out to the barricades. I didn't want to miss TCB
but I would sacrifice so that I could maybe meet Adam. We ran out there and the one girl
who we were with during Alison's set ended up there first and then us. We laughed at how we
were the last at the barricades before Adam and first after Adam! So my daughter was first
at the barricade and I was next to her.

We waited about 1/2 hr and then we saw the dancers and band members. I don't remember
seeing Tommy though. :no:

Finally Adam came out with his bag and went on his bus. My daughter started crying but I told
her that I he would come off and sign and that he was just dropping his bag off. HE CAME OUT!
When I upload my vids you will hear her reaction!!!

They had him start at the opposite end of our barricade, so instead of us first, we were last but
we didn't care if we had to wait years! We were staying! When Adam was 3/4 up the barricade
and we could see the top of his head, my heart was POUNDING like crazy. I didn't know how
I'd feel to be that close to him again (we met him in Providence last year on the AI tour).

This was our 3rd and last Glamnation concert.

When he got near us he seemed like he was going to walk away after he waved but then my
he signed our tickets that my daughter had in her hand and I took a vid. She asked him for a hug.
That is all she wanted. He hugged her and the girl next to us has a PERFECT shot of the hug on
VIDEO!!!! She hugged him and she said she told him she loved him. She said she had one hand
on the back of his hair and that she could feel his hairspray. She also said he was soft and that
he gently hugged her cuz he is so sweet. :wub: She balled, I started to cry. It was SUCH an
emotional night for us, especially her. I figure I will let her enjoy it as much as she can and she
can ask for the hugs (even though I'd love one!!). Maybe next time. :thumbs:

I'm going to take a screenshot of her hugging him. I could see in the vid when she put her arms
around him and she shut her eyes. I'll have to frame that one for her!!! How precious that was
to see that! Thank u to the girl who took that video and then showed us in her camera!!!
That is soooooooooooo sweet!!! Can't wait to see it tomorrow!!! Oh, and when he went to hug
her, I kinda touched/brushed his left VERY glittery arm. :">

Even the security guard was all emotional cuz he saw us waiting all late afternoon/night for him.
Then we were the last to leave the barricades before Adam and the first at them after the concert!
I would do that daily if I could. We love him so much. He is the absolute best. There was and
never will be anyone like him.

:wub:

Glambert_3799 What in the hell is this reviewer talking about[? RT @LambritsUK: Albany Times Union - Adam Lambert @ the Palace Theatre http://bit.ly/b8XqEH 15 minutes ago via TweetDeck

Adam Lambert glams up the Palace
By STEVE BARNES
Senior writer
He starts fine, but then completely misses the whole point...
ALBANY — Adam Lambert is a great rock ‘n’ roll voice in search of material worthy of his gifts.
The guy’s got serious pipes and thrilling showmanship. Of this there is no dispute. He can sing the hell out of just about anything, his operatic instrument soaring, shrieking, carrying on like a gospel singer whose dress is afire. It’s a joy to behold live.

But, as Lambert showed during his brief, entertaining, but far less than captivating concert Monday night at the Palace Theatre, he is not yet a complete concert artist.
Yawn. The cliched, generic intros epitomize the conflict between the outrageous, flamboyant artist that Lambert seems like he could be and the safe, unshocking, mainstream singer he revealed himself as during his concert. After all, who wants a black-nail-polished boy who can sing his face off while wearing a feathered top hat and fringed jacket but whose heart really is as gentle as Pat Boone’s?
I mean Pat Boone :sleep: :'( Well OK...he got the gentle heart thing right, but seems to think it's a bad thing when we who obviously know and love the man a whole lot better than he ever will, know that that is exactly the point...a whole real human person wrapped in that gorgeous, sensual, sexy body and out of this world talent and charisma and stage presence...the whole package, the real thing...he just ain't getting it or maybe wouldn't know it even though it was staring him right in the face in all it's glorious inner and outer beauty.<3 <3 :wub:

INTERLUDE

I will begin with an anecdote from the ending: on my way home, driving in my car, tears threatening at the corners of my eyes.

I was thinking back to the whole night; the barricades before the show, the show itself, the barricades after the show finished. Everything was rolling through my mind like a movie reel; I was reliving the journey in bits and pieces - a little of this and a little of that. I relived the adam moment; the autograph; the sheer beauty of seeing him up close. But then, I thought about my encounter with Monte, and that is when my eyes started watering up. Had I not been driving, I might have broke down. Here is why:

When I saw Monte come over to us, I was beside myself, because I really LOVE his guitar skills, and I love watching him on stage. He came over and really started talking to people, and taking pics etc. Then when he got down to my section, I moved near the front, and said: Monte, can you sign this for me? He looked over at me and said 'sure!', and someone moved so I could go up to him. While he was signing my ticket page, I said: "You shred some serious guitar - I love hearing you play and you sounded awesome tonight." At this point he looked right at me - I mean really looked at me and said "Thank you! That's nice of you to say" and smiled. He looked almost suprised I said that to him, although he must hear this often from other people. Maybe I didn't look like the kind of person that would say this or use the term 'shred' (and seriously, that just popped out-LOL). I don't know, but I do know this: when Monte looked at me, I felt like he was really looking at me, and not through me or around me. I know it sounds crazy or stupid, but as a person who has spent most of her life being looked around or through, having someone like Monte actually look into my eyes and mean what he was saying was arresting. It didn't matter for once that I was older, overweight, not beautiful by definition, not the pretty young person most people are drawn to. In the briefest of moments, he seemed to genuinly care about what I said to him. People have said before that Monte is very personable like that, and now I understand why. He made a total stranger feel like someone who mattered, without knowing it, and without trying. He won't remember me, and it does not matter. But the takeaway for me is that this moment will be in my head forever. I sensed in a flash of time that he is someone who actually cares about those around him, although I have nothing to support that. He just emanated that vibe to me....

PART TWO:
**********

DESTINATION: GLAMNATION ALBANY

My journey started out with me driving to my sister's on Sunday, and spending the night before we departed for Albany on Monday. We got to Albany arount 2pm, in cloudy weather with light rain. We got checked in, then decided to walk around the town to find the venue. At the moment the rain had stopped, and we got a few cool pictures of the area while walking to the Palace. We were walking up the street and saw the palace ahead of us, and started taking pictures. As we got closer, I looked over and said: woah, those are the busses! We walked over there to find only a few people standing around; someone had said most of the people had come out already and gone inside. We didn't realle expect to see anyone at that point, and we didn't, but all of a sudden, we could hear faint music and Adam singing (OMG it was Adam!) We were listening for a bit, and I turned around and a woman waved me over to where she was standing (bless you nice person). I walked over there and OMG, guys, I could hear Adam singing Voodoo as clear as day. That stage must have been on the other side of the door I was now standing at! I told my sister to come over, and we stood there listening for quite a while. I heard him sing Voodoo, DTR and Ring of Fire, then Fever. During Fever, he sang low where he often hits a high note, and the woman who waved me over there and I looked at each other and said in convo: "He sang that note low. He's saving himself for tonight!" By then it was starting to really rain, so my sister and I decided to go back to the hotel to change and get food before the concert. We were like drowned rats at that point, and very glad to get out of wet clothes. But let me tell you, that voice was unbelievable, even hearing it through a thick wooden door. I KNEW I was in for a treat that night.


THE CONCERT

We left for the concert around 7 pm, and arrived to people waiting outside the venue. There was a good mix of men, women, young and not so young, but I would say an older crowd at this one overall. I was surprised at the number of men there - there were plenty, and the same thing in the section we sat in. I was in the balcony. The view of the stage was awesome, but it was still just far enough away to not really get that OMG feeling people must get up front. Adam's energy was palpable, his voice was spectacular, his looks on stage drop-dead gorgeous. His choreography was something to watch from where I sat he truly owned that stage and everyone in that venue. I was not close enough to se we the kind of details the up-close people would (like the 'glambounce' or any thrusting/gyrating action). We could see it, but the impact is not as pronounced from that far away. I got some vids, which are good enough for me, and my pics were grainy, but the best I could manage, so I am happy with what I got.

I was BLOWN AWAY by his vocals in person. STUNNED. When he just talked, he sounded more feminine than on videos. I was thinking: how can this big, 6-ft tall, sex on legs of a man sound...soft like that? LOLOL..... Then, when he sang Soaked, I nearly died. His voice reached the very last corners of that venue when he belted out that song. I felt at moments like I was listening to a form of opera. He projected his voice SO well, all I could think was: how could this man NOT win idol?? SERIOUSLY?? That song was so beautiful in person, I was just speechless to its beauty. I sat there leaning forward the whole time because I could not take it all in. I loved watching him sing all of his songs. My personal favorites are Fever and Sleepwalker, and they were awesome. I could not possibly retain enough detail to analyze each song or make comparisons; I am a big picture kind of person. But Adam was so amazing to see live. I can't even begin to wrap my head around what I experienced in that venue. His talent is so immense, so intense, that I cannot understand why he isn't all over radio and and in the minds of everyone everywhere right this second. After watching that show, I am even more convinced than I ever was before that he is destined for great things. We will ALL be glad we got this small, personal type of concert in years to come, when he is no longer accessible to anyone, ever.

I loved listening to the crowds shouting and yelling; seeing the people really enjoying the show. There was a guy next to me - a regular joe, if you will (there with his GF/wife) - and at first, he yelled a teeny bit, tepidly, probably a little embarrassed. By the end of the show, he was on his feet, screaming like a banshee with everyone else. I think it is safe to say he enjoyed the show original.gif And on the other side of my sister, there was another man with his GF, and at one point he asked my sister if he could use her binoculars so he could have 'just one close up look at adam.' She was like sure, here, use them for awhile! So we shared with our neighbor so he could have some of the same goodness we were enjoying, LOL. Loved those moments. Also, the balcony largely sat, including us. From so far away, it is hard to totally connect to any artist, even Adam, so that feeling of wanting to be on your feet lessens, I think. Also, I think if people don't start a trend in standing, lots of others won't get up b/c it makes the person behind them not able to see. We are short, so honestly, I was glad to not have to fight around tall people for taping songs. But if I were down front, I would not have sat for one minute, guaranteed. The energy down there must have been amazing....

My Final part


AFTER THE SHOW

After Adam finished his encore, my sister and I decided to walk outside and see what was happening. We saw a crowd of people and realized it was really deep, so we decided to go across the street where a small group of people were hanging out. When we got over there, we realized how LONG that other line was, and figured, well at least here, we might get a photo and a sighting at least. We stood around for awhile, shuffling our feet, waiting... and nothing happening. I decided to wander a bit and found that there was a very small group of people at another barricade at the end of the first bus. I motioned for my sister to come over, and it was the best decision I ever made. We stood around for awhile, still waiting, watching, talking to others. We hear a few yells every now and then; maybe false alarms. We don't really expect anyone to come over our way, but then Terrance comes over to talk to some of the fans off to the side. I didn't get an autograph or talk to him, just watched him interact with others. I have to say - he was so nice to watch and listen too. He left and a little while later Tommy came whizzing by. He did not stop - he smiled, said 'hi' and then as he was exiting the gated area, went up to some younger fan and planted a big ol' kiss on her! She was stoked, let me tell you. Some of us were lamenting that he didn't sign, but not in a bad way, we just wished he would have stopped for a bit, since there were so few of us standing there (maybe a dozen or so). No one was sounding entitled or whining, just truly wanting to say hi b/c he is so damn handsome and fun :) But he moved on... so we waited some more.

Then Monte came out. I started with that story, so I won't repeat it here. I will say though, that he is shorter in person than I expected, and he just seems so damn nice and friendly. He really seemed to enjoy talking to the fans - he was so comfortable and easygoing to everyone there. So we waited yet again. People were getting excited, hoping beyond hope that the man himself would show.

Then it happened.

Adam came out the door, and the place erupted. People were shouting 'Adam' 'Adam', and he looked at us, smiled and waved. Then he talked to someone, got a pen.....and headed over to the main barricade with hundreds of people. The dozen or two of us folks were just, omg, I hope he comes over here... to 'he might not come back here.' Then all of a sudden, the security guy tells us to step back behind the barricade, and we just knew he was coming over. He walked over to us to sign autographs, and he was so beautiful, I just couldn't contain a coherant thought. I started snapping pics - none of which took - and then as he came my way I said: Can you sign this? and he took my paper and signed it. I said really quick that I thought the show was awesome; he heard my voice and looked at me as he gave me my paper back, smiled a bit and said 'thanks.' It wasn't much of an encounter, but OMG I was flying so high after that, I thought I would never come back down. That man is beyond belief. So kind when he speaks - he said he wouldn't do individual pics b/c it wouldn't be fair to everyone (who wouldn't get pics), but he did let us snap pics of him while standing there. Or maybe the guard told us not to, and we just ignored it. That was what I thought at the time. But Adam surely did allow people to take pics of him. I feel this is such a rare thing, and that we will never see this again in the future, but who knows - adam likes to break boundaries, so maybe he will make more opportunities for fans to meet him in controlled situations in future tours. I can only hope so. I already plan to try to get VIP stuff if the do that in round 2. I just better keep it together next time, cuz I do not want to get caught up in the crazy again like I did this time :( Fangurl needs to remember her manners when in the company of AFL and enthusiastic crowds.

But after that, we went back to our hotel to try to come back down to reality. On the way back, my sister called her husband, and I called my friend in Cali. I have no idea what i said to her, but I know I sounded like a drunk fool and she did not get a word in edgewise!! I will never live that one down, I just know it. I am going to be hearing 'I told you so' for the rest of my life, b/c I swore I would not go all fancrazy in his presence. I was so wrong it pains me to admit it. But, OMG, I would do it again in a NY minute, which BTW, is said to be, what? about 30 seconds? LOLOL.

OK, so here goes nothing...

Before talking about yesterday, I must go back a few days. I pm’d VistaDiva to discuss how we could use our networking skills to get M&G’s. This was my last show and therefore my last chance to get one, if any. I was floored when VistaDiva called me to tell me that she already had some irons in the fire and that I should keep my fingers, feet, eyes crossed. Then Sunday night, she called me to tell me we were ‘IN’... OMG!!!! Sleep Sunday night was evasive to say the least!!!!

Now as far as my traveling adventures go, all was quiet, except maybe how I berated the Border Official for not knowing who Adam F*cking Lambert was! IDJIIIOT!!! When I got to the hotel (which Vista had found around the corner from the theatre), I was devastated to find out it is a non-smoking HOTEL and although it offered me a ‘smoking room’ on their booking site, no such room existed... Me? Excited? M&G? Adam? Last show? NO F*CKING SMOKING? Are you kidding me? I was told Vista had already registered and called her in the hope of moving us to another hotel up the street where SMOKING ROOMS were available, but she had already unpacked and with some cajoling on her part, decided that I COULD survive one night in a non-smoking hotel!

After unpacking myself (BTW, just so you all know my room number was 911! How appropriate!), Vista and I went to the theatre to get our M&G passes and for me to deliver fruit baskets for the band and the dancers to thank them for making GNT so much fun and full of love. Vista and I had ordered flowers to give Adam at the end of the encore. After being told that the M&G passes would only be at the Box Office after 6:15, we decided to go eat, get dressed for Adam (WHAT? That’s what we all do for these concerts, let alone M&G’s! Don’t you dare judge! :roll: )

After dinner, when we went up to our rooms is when it really hit me that I was about to meet Adam in person and the butterflies started doing this crazy dance in my stomach. Of course, I had Xanax and could have taken one, but I was afraid that I would not fully appreciate the experience if slightly drugged up, so I decided to forego my standard crutch when those darned butterflies decide to do their friggin’ tapdance!

Off to the theatre to find out where we should go for the M&G and it could not have been more confusing if they had tried. The M&G will be at 7:30, no 7:15, no 6:30, no 6:45, stand here, no there, wait here, no inside, no outside, security will come and get you, don’t know where security is, security is in a meeting... Finally it seemed that the answer was to wait in the lobby. Now please understand that this theatre has two friggin’ lobbies, so here we go again... Stand in THIS lobby, no THAT lobby, in THIS corner, no near the stairs, no not THOSE stairs, THESE stairs, now move to the OTHER stairs, now go INSIDE the theatre... Through all of this, came the realization that I had nothing for Adam to sign. It never crossed my mind. But as the saying goes... God will provide... and this fan approaches me with an original drawing of Adam done by this 19 year old Vietnamese fan. It is beautiful and very true to life... Saved by a 19 year old, a world away... Who knew?

Anyways, my butterflies were now doing Riverdance - forget regular tap dancing, that’s for the faint of hearts! Anyhooooo, to make a long story short (I know... Too late!), we finally get walked through this maze backstage and are ushered into this room that has seen better days... Actually it had seen better days 50 years ago! And here we go again, we are told to sit (there are two long tables with metal chairs arranged around them). Now to pick the best spot... This table? That table? This end? That end? Adam will come in from this door? That door? There are FOUR friggin’ doors... so who knows? After all the debating is over and we finally sit down, we are told (yup you guessed it!) to stand up and line up against one wall! By then, it’s about 7:10 and the electricity in the room (none offered by NYState Light & Power Corp) is exponentially growing with each passing second. There is one young girl who is actually hyperventilating which makes me feel oh so ‘together’ that all there is now is a fleet of butterflies doing an Irish jig in my stomach! Screw the line, I have to sit down or I am actually going to pass out! I actually feel lightheaded... Haven’t felt that since I was pregnant with my firstborn!

... but then lo and behold, this wonderful young man walks into the room to a chorus of OOOHHHs and AAAHHHs and there he stands before us, an uglammed young boy, sweet as pie, and so darned thin!!! Eat something Adam! Come on, you can afford it! Get yourself some of that ice cream you are so fond of! I am maybe 7th or 8th in line to meet him, I am clutching the original sketch and as my turn is coming up next, I decide I should just shake his hand... except my hands are swimming in sweat!!!! I never sweat! I perspire at best when it is extremely hot, but SWEAT? Never! OK, so now it’s my turn... Forget shaking hand with the boy! I just know he would go EEEWWW and wipe his hand on the awful cement wall behind him because I KNOW he would not want to wipe it on his pants (gorgeous and tight BTW) or his wonderful t-shirt (why can’t I look like that in a t-shirt?)! So as he puts his hand out to shake mine, I kind of move passed it, breathe out the words “Can I have a hug?”. He barely has time to answer and there I am in his arms, holding on for dear life! He must have thought I was nuts! But I have a plan! I am holding this gorgeous sketch which I quickly start explaining to him is from a Vietnamese 19 year old fan of his and how well she captured him, and isn’t she great, and you know this is an original, and could you sign it, because she will be so thrilled, and she is so mad talented, and she is only 19, and she is from Vietnam, and... Adam agrees that she is very talented, signs the thing, and then tells me we’re going to take a picture... Probably wants me to STFU! So he puts his arm around me, this young boy (younger than both my sons) and I feel like I am being cradled by the love of my life (NUTS! I am telling you, all sane thought process just escapes you at a time like this). Picture is taken – I probably will look like a total loon, but who cares? He had his arm around me!!!! And then, I’m told to move away! Really? Do I have to? I really like it here, embraced by Adam! Could we take like a whole roll of pictures? Oh you don’t have rolls anymore! It’s a digital camera? All the better, let’s fill that card right up, shall we? No, really I have time! No bother at all! What do you mean, I really really have to move along? You’re so damned mean! OK, since Vista is next, I guess I can understand that others should get some time with Adam as well... but only because it’s Vista! I’ll let her tell you about her experience, but after she is done, we are then ushered back up and spitted out back into the theater. Vista and I look at each other... Did that just really happen? It was sooooooooo fast! Barely remember anything! I wanna go again, Mom! Please? Oh, it’s not like the rides at the fair? Well, crap then. I’ll go pout in my front row center seat then!

You all saw the concert through the special oven I had brought with me. When Adam appeared at the top of those stairs, he was no longer the young boy I had just met, he was the Rock God we all know and love and he was on fire! The vocals were out-of-this-world! At one point, the person standing to my right kind of poked me a little, so I turned to smile and say it’s OK (we are at an AFL concert after all), only to realize it was Leila! After he finished Fever and the lights went out, I leaned over and told her: “This isn’t exactly like attending one of his school plays, is it?” She laughed and shook her head!

When it was time for Brooke and Adam to do their dirty dancing bit, Brooke kind of stepped back from Adam, pointed to his mom and shook her head ‘no’. There was no way she could do that in front of Leila! That’s when Adam pointed to this mom, said “Hi Mom! I love you”, I turned to Leila and she blew him a kiss! AWWWWWWWWWWW!!!! I must say that Adam was not having any of Brooke’s reticence at being sexy, raunchy, erotic, OTT because his mom was in front row. He put on an amazing display of what sexiness is about and never looked back – in fact none of us did either, we were all mesmerized by the display in front of our eyes.

If you have any way/chance/possibility/plan to ever be able to get a front row seat at one of the shows... run! Don’t walk! Sell your firstborn if you must! OK, maybe not your first born, but you must have an aunt or cousin you don’t particularly care for that you could sell, right? He is larger than life! He takes over the whole stage, and I don’t mean that he ‘uses’ the whole stage, I mean the ‘whole stage becomes him’! There is nothing else in front of you, just this panther-prancing iconic star that oozes so much energy that you are totally spent by the end of the show!

This was my last show and I had prepared myself emotionally to deal with it, but I was totally exhausted and deflated afterwards. And that folks is why I haven’t been able to post anything yet. Partly to feel sorry for myself for a minute, but mostly I needed to digest what happened in that it-had-its-heydays-50-years-ago room! I needed to process it, chew on it, taste it, swish it around in my mouth for a while before being able to swallow the fact that I actually MET ADAM F. LAMBERT!!!!

OOPS! I meant to tell what happened to the flowers and got sidetracked by a certain Rock God! I had the flowers delivered to the hotel but they could only deliver around 7:00ish. So after the M&G, I went back to the hotel to get them. Vista and I had written a lovely card which I stapled to the wrapping. When I got back to the theater, I was told that I would not be allowed to bring them in. No matter how much arguing and pleading I did, nothing worked. So I went to get Vista so she could at least SEE the flowers before they got whisked away to Adam. I quickly wrote on the envelope that Vista and I were in the front row, aisle seats and that we had just met him at the M&G. I don't know whether he ever got the flowers before his performance or not... or whether he did at all for that matter. So sad!

So in order to bring full closure to this story, here is the M&G pic - You will notice my "deer in the headlights" look and Adam's "Get this loon away from me NAOWW" look....
