It is difficult for me to write about this now. I don’t know why. Here is what I wrote to a friend when I got home from the trip:
Ok, here is my story!
Well, I had the fricken time of my life!! It was SOOOOOOOOOOO much fun!!Standing in line outside the Kodak, the Soul Patrol group I was with was interviewed many, many times by press from around the country. Everybody was all excited and everyone had signs...Best time I ever had waiting in a line!
We got into the theater and sat down and right away. I noticed this lady on the other side of the theater just freaking out, jumping up and down with her sign, screeming for Taylor and I said, "Man, that lady has lost her mind! LOL!" and the people in my row nodded.
And then it was my turn!
I sat in about the 6th row, ON the aisle. THE aisle. THE AISLE that Taylor danced down at the start of "Livin’ For The City." The aisle where he stopped right next to me and danced for a few seconds and I almost passed out because that beautiful purple velvet jacket was really 3 inches from me!!!!!I think I lost my mind. People in my row say I reached out to touch him, but pulled my hand back. I don't know, I don't remember. Thank god I didn't touch the poor guy!
The whole show was fantastic and the seats were amazing. I would not have traded those dress rehearsal seats for the real taping seats in the nose bleed sections for anything!!!!! Taylor was RIGHT there!! He sounded great, he looked great, he was great! Kat was…Katt. Not many Kat fans in the theater.
The Soul Patrol was on fire, and the energy in the room was amazing! It was lots of fun!! After the show, some of us went out to eat...then we went to the press area to try and get some autographs or hugs.......No luck for me. I stayed as long as I could, and I was in a perfect spot, right in front, but I had to go and catch a plane home. Many of the other ladies did get autographs and hugs after the press or at the AFTER PARTY on the 24th!! Argh!!! I should have called in sick to work Wed and stayed in LA! So there you have it! My Taylor adventure! When the concert comes around, it is going to be fun!! I can't wait!******************Now, that night is just a blurry Purple Haze (thanks eileenwest!) memory. A great memory I will always treasure.******************
To recap: "Livin’ For The City " was fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can’t remember "Levon," but I know it was good, and "Do I Make You Proud "made me like cheese!!
