jessipsaloquiturLife has gone from good crazy to just plain crazy this week, but I'm steadfastly refusing to concentrate on anything but the sparkly until next week. So, let's talk about Adam! *beams*
I flew into Burbank on Tuesday to meet up with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
coolwhipdiva for the two shows in Orange County. We had so much fun!!! On Tuesday night I had upgraded our tickets to 5th row, center, in the pit. The seats in the pit were crammed in so tight you could barely move, so it was a good thing that security let those seated there rush the stage and stand at the barricade, otherwise it would have been impossible to dance. And, really, how anyone can sit through this show without being compelled to get up out of their seats and shake their ass is beyond my ability to comprehend. Believe me, J and I danced. *g*
Costa Mesa is the closest that this tour is getting to L.A. (at least as the schedule currently stands), so it was very much a hometown crowd for Adam and all the band and dancers and they all had lots of family and friends in the crowd. And, OMG, they all looked so freakin' HAPPY. Adam had this silly grin on his face for a good part of the show! And, even though the sound mix was a little off that night (hello! I'd really like to be able to actually hear Monte during his guitar solo!), it was still just so much FUN watching them have so much FUN!
Here are all my pictures from Tuesday night, including some great shots of Allison, who was again on fire! Man, I love that girl!
(Click on the thumbnails for the super-sized high-def versions; and feel free to use any of the pictures. They are here for your entertainment! *g*)
I also had the chance to meet the lovely and talented Chantala on Tuesday (@HideUrFeathers). She actually found me and introduced herself (I buy enough of her awesome feather jewelry that I guess she recognized me *laughs*). She was SO sweet! And SO beautiful! Seriously, man, when I grow up, I want her rack! *g* We chatted for a little bit and she was just generally made of win!
I also ran into several people that I had met in San Francisco, which was so cool. People who are in essence complete strangers greeting you and hugging you and gushing over the shows and just generally including you in their good times! Adam's fans are, for the most part, wonderful people! (We shall not talk about the two completely rude and obnoxious ones that we encountered that night except to say that if someone does you a favor, "thank you" is the appropriate response and, also, it's completely uncool to stand on your chair when there are people behind you especially if you're already over 6 feet tall, and if someone politely asks you to get down, you only look like an even bigger ass if instead of "oh, sure, sorry" you completely lose your shit and feel the need to let everyone in the general area know that your favorite expletive is "fuck you" followed closely by "you asshole." *shakes head*) But, like I was saying, for the most part, really awesome and friendly people! :D
On Wednesday,_lisalisa_ joined us. The shows were part of the OC Fair, so we spent the afternoon at the fair, checking out the exhibits, avoiding anything fried on a stick, drinking frozen margaritas, and just catching up and enjoying some much needed hanging out time! It was awesome! Before the show, we found a table and some wine, and I did up our make-up and glitterfied the three of us in the middle of the fair! We were very sparkly! *g*
I had an AMAZING view. I made friends with the security folks on my side of the pit and they let me stand at the edge of the barricade on Tommy's side of the stage, actually kind of between the barricade and the stage. The sound mix was thankfully much better on Wednesday night. And everyone was just on FIRE! Monte jumped into the pit for one of his guitars solos. Tommy was looking especially pretty. Adam's vocals were stunning. It was fantastic! And Adam's encore of Whole Lotta Love that night is my favorite next to Fantasy Springs. Just incredible!
Costa Mesa was DAMN GOOD TIMES!!! Now I need to get ready so I can make my flight to San Diego in a few hours.coolwhipdiva has promised me tequila shots and believe me when I tell you I can use them. Tomorrow I fly back home, meet up with editorzon at the airport, and then dance until my feet fall off at the Lady Gaga concert! And then on Sunday, another Glam Nation show here in Tempe. After that, I'm planning on sleeping for days. As soon as that happens, I'll come back and fill y'all in on how life outside of Glam Nation is sucking hard. But, for now, I'm gonna get my glitter on, hang with my girls, drink myself silly, and dance until I just can't anymore! *nods*
