OMG!!!
I don't know what to say. We two little Aussies made
it to the States! Staples Centre in LA was personally
a horrendous day for me. Everything that could go
wrong did. Goo-wise - missed the boys by seconds at
the venue, had unbelievably shitty seats and evil
security people who wouldn't let us hold up my banner.
Goos of course rocked - though no Robby which was a
bit worrying.
Thursday at Arrowhead Pond, Anaheim - possibly the
moment of my life. Only Mike came by bus, Johnny
drove. So quick wave and chat to their bus driver who
kept eyeing off my Goo outfit in the sea of Bon Jovi
gear. We had 5th row seats and made it easily up front
centre for Goo. No Robby again he was "home sick"
The show was GREAT!!! I don't know if it was just
because we were up front, but I swear the crowd were
really responsive and at one point John's just
standing there looking out and a bit amazed as the
cheering and screaming went on and on.
Had managed to sneak the banner in and we decided to
give it a go thinking security would snatch it quick -
instead they came over and helped arrange it!!!!!!!
John watched curiously as we unfolded it - it was
pretty big and said "From Australia for Goo". He gave
a huge smile and thumbs up. We then turned it around
to the other side where I had "Thanks for the GOO
magic". Another huge smile.
A few more songs were played, including There You Are
which was a welcome surprise, no Broadway that night
though. I was the happiest person in that stadium that
night I swear and then.... "And this is for our
friends from Australia who came all the way here to
see us tonight", a smile and wave to us and Iris
started!
I so nearly died. I shook so much I couldn't hold the
camera still. I'm still in shock.
Am at a crappy internet place, so haven't had chance
to catch up on all other news. Tried to get into the
STAR gig in LA, the DJ's were great, but I couldn't
manage to get past the promotions big wigs. Never
mind. We decided to ditch our plans for a couple of
days and head to San Jose... and here we are.
