Home last night after another 22 hrs driving. 5,266km's round-trip... (yeah). Cool country to see though. How was your helicopter ride??

We're back in Canada, safe & sound -- not too much worse for wear after another 21 hour drive -- and wishing we were back in Vegas. It's cold up here!
What an experience seeing Priest in such a cool venue as "The Pearl" and having them all to ourselves ... but it was like the party just kept going on afterwards -- with all the Priest Fans wandering around The Palms everywhere!
We also met up with Steve & Johnnie (whom we met gassing up in Cedar City on the way there), and they got to sit with Ian and she got a kiss, so they have a story to go back to Utah with as well.
YOU SINFUL LADIES ROCK!!!
From meeting in the Loose Caboose the night before the concert, to having our posters confiscated (hee-hee), to going up to the Playboy Club ... it was an honour & a priviledge to meet and share all of this with you. Colley & I are looking forward to the next time ... Just say when and where! You *know* we'll be there -- now we know we can get across the border! (LOL).
Dee, hope you're real birthday was a blast -- though I can't think of much that would top your trip to Vegas!
A big "hi" and hugs to you & Janet (our Rocka Rolla girl!), it was great talking with you both and I hope all those things we talked about work out. Such a pleasure meeting you. Thanks for the pics, can we have some copies -- if it's not too much trouble? (Those ones up in the club are very cool.)
To Mara, Paperflowers, Jeanine, Bev, Mike, Darren, Priestess & HalfordsDoll -- So glad y'all had as good a time as we did meeting you. We wish we had been able to spend way more time with all of you. Can't wait til the next time. As I said before, going to see Priest was, of course, the goal -- but you all made it so very special. Memories of the best time with fans at a concert, ever.

Hi there WhiskeyWoman! I actually live in Calgary, not Edmonton. You ever come to Calgary? Were you at Monster of Rock too? Did you goto meet & greet for Edmonton? Where were you sitting/standing for the show? Hubby and I were front left of the stage. Right by KK. I was checking out youtube tonight and there's a really good video of Eat Me Alive from Edmonton. You might wanna check it out. (There is two, one really sucks and one is really good.)

Laurie I loved reading your perspective, being a new fan. I agree with Healer, true fan is all that matters. You appreciate these guys, that is priceless. Loved hanging out - it was great fun.

I still haven't gotten my voice back from the Vegas show . Very nice meeting you all - Mara, Healer, Janet, Jeanine, WhiskeyWoman, HalfordsDoll, JudasPriestess, and Dman!! I wish I'd spent more time with you guys. Between food poisoning, broken bones, and one lost Platinum VIP concert ticket (CRISIS! CRISIS!) we had to take things a bit slow.
Most of you probably already know this was my first Priest concert. I had never even heard a Priest song before last winter. Technically, my fandom is in its infancy at 8mos, but to make a long story (best saved for another post) short it really lit a fire under my muse! Next thing I know I'm in Vegas standing in front of all five guys without ever having seen them perform, not even on DVD. I blurted out who I was, where I was from and that I was a new fan. Ian stuck out his hand for me to shake. He has the sweetest eyes and just beams with warmth. It's impossible not to smile back at him. Scott had heard NC and mentioned he was from VA. I had to tilt my head back to see his face. Dammit, sunglasses. Glenn asked if I'd said I was a "new fan." I explained a bit and shook his hand also. Next up was KK. I smiled at him and he stared at me blankly. Someone stuck the now-autographed magazine in my hand, the flash went off and it's over. I told Rob "happy birthday" over my shoulder and I think he thanked me. They're not kidding about the meet'n greet going fast. It feels like five seconds. I'm glad I worked up the nerve to show up! I had been ambivalent until I heard an interview snippet of Glenn talking about seeing young faces at the shows and knowing Priest appealed to later generations. This was during the panicked 2-hour drive to the hospital the day of Janis's crash and it really meant a lot to me.
The concert was an absolute blast!! I've never seen such constant high energy. Generally a band will play the last song twice as big and go all nuts because it's the finale. Priest plays EVERY song like that. The way you know it's over is the lights come up and everyone leaves. No standing around all night hollering for an encore. I had a great view in my 5" heels in the front row . I haven't quite got the hang of the horns thing and I think I'm the only person who waved a lighter during "Angel." Haha, I'm such a dork. Next time I'd like to try being on the floor. Maybe I'll finally catch something LOL. One of Scott's drumsticks landed in my row, but I didn't even try. If I get my nose broken over a stick, my family won't let me come back!
PS. I told Janis about the backstage pass incident. He says I have his blessing to flash the guy next time. Edited at: Friday, September 05, 2008 7:20:04 PM |

Hey Laurie,
Great story about your meet and greet. Your picture came out great by the way! It was a blast hanging with you at the pre-party and very cool to wait in line with Janet and I. Since we were last in line, the anticipation must have been killing you. Even though you a "new" fan, you are a "true" fan and that is all that counts! Can't wait for the next meet up! Hey, I hope you find something sturdy to hang onto while Hannah blows through. Will be in our neck of the woods Sat.night/early Sun. morning.

The concert was an absolute blast!! I've never seen such constant high energy. Generally a band will play the last song twice as big and go all nuts because it's the finale. Priest plays EVERY song like that. The way you know it's over is the lights come up and everyone leaves. No standing around all night hollering for an encore. I had a great view in my 5" heels in the front row . I haven't quite got the hang of the horns thing and I think I'm the only person who waved a lighter during "Angel." Haha, I'm such a dork. Next time I'd like to try being on the floor. Maybe I'll finally catch something LOL. One of Scott's drumsticks landed in my row, but I didn't even try. If I get my nose broken over a stick, my family won't let me come back!
PS. I told Janis about the backstage pass incident. He says I have his blessing to flash the guy next time. Edited at: Friday, September 05, 2008 7:20:04 PM |

Good evening, ladies!! I still haven't gotten my voice back from the Vegas show . Very nice meeting you all - Mara, Healer, Janet, Jeanine, WhiskeyWoman, HalfordsDoll, JudasPriestess, and Dman!! I wish I'd spent more time with you guys. Between food poisoning, broken bones, and one lost Platinum VIP concert ticket (CRISIS! CRISIS!) we had to take things a bit slow.
Most of you probably already know this was my first Priest concert. I had never even heard a Priest song before last winter. Technically, my fandom is in its infancy at 8mos, but to make a long story (best saved for another post) short it really lit a fire under my muse! Next thing I know I'm in Vegas standing in front of all five guys without ever having seen them perform, not even on DVD. I blurted out who I was, where I was from and that I was a new fan. Ian stuck out his hand for me to shake. He has the sweetest eyes and just beams with warmth. It's impossible not to smile back at him. Scott had heard NC and mentioned he was from VA. I had to tilt my head back to see his face. Dammit, sunglasses. Glenn asked if I'd said I was a "new fan." I explained a bit and shook his hand also. Next up was KK. I smiled at him and he stared at me blankly. Someone stuck the now-autographed magazine in my hand, the flash went off and it's over. I told Rob "happy birthday" over my shoulder and I think he thanked me. They're not kidding about the meet'n greet going fast. It feels like five seconds. I'm glad I worked up the nerve to show up! I had been ambivalent until I heard an interview snippet of Glenn talking about seeing young faces at the shows and knowing Priest appealed to later generations. This was during the panicked 2-hour drive to the hospital the day of Janis's crash and it really meant a lot to me.

Hey Victoria! Did you just finish driving home? Glad you were able to make it!! [Show/Hide Quoted Message] (Quoting Message by WhiskeyWoman from Friday, September 05, 2008 12:48:16 PM) | | WhiskeyWoman wrote: | | Hi Ladies of "Sinful" ...
We're back in Canada, safe & sound -- not too much worse for wear after another 21 hour drive -- and wishing we were back in Vegas. It's cold up here!
What an experience seeing Priest in such a cool venue as "The Pearl" and having them all to ourselves ... but it was like the party just kept going on afterwards -- with all the Priest Fans wandering around The Palms everywhere!
We also met up with Steve & Johnnie (whom we met gassing up in Cedar City on the way there), and they got to sit with Ian and she got a kiss, so they have a story to go back to Utah with as well.
YOU SINFUL LADIES ROCK!!!
From meeting in the Loose Caboose the night before the concert, to having our posters confiscated (hee-hee), to going up to the Playboy Club ... it was an honour & a priviledge to meet and share all of this with you. Colley & I are looking forward to the next time ... Just say when and where! You *know* we'll be there -- now we know we can get across the border! (LOL).
Dee, hope you're real birthday was a blast -- though I can't think of much that would top your trip to Vegas!
A big "hi" and hugs to you & Janet (our Rocka Rolla girl!), it was great talking with you both and I hope all those things we talked about work out. Such a pleasure meeting you. Thanks for the pics, can we have some copies -- if it's not too much trouble? (Those ones up in the club are very cool.)
To Mara, Paperflowers, Jeanine, Bev, Mike, Darren, Priestess & HalfordsDoll -- So glad y'all had as good a time as we did meeting you. We wish we had been able to spend way more time with all of you. Can't wait til the next time. As I said before, going to see Priest was, of course, the goal -- but you all made it so very special. Memories of the best time with fans at a concert, ever. Thanks so much. Love you guys!! | | Mara wrote: | | To all of you great people I got to meet up with in Vegas...... everyone of you made this past weekend so special....Healer, Janet, Jeanine, HalfordsDoll, Bev, Freeze, Darren, Victoria, Colley, Paperflowers, Priestess.. you all are wonderful !

Hi there MedalGoddess! It's bloody cold here. I've had to turn my furnace on every morning for about 2 weeks now until it warms up outside. The other night it got to 0 over night! I woke up to frost. Freezing tempatures already! Today started out ok but now I'm wraped up in a blanket, cold again. Got to get out of Canada! Monday should be nice, hoping to get other day of hiking in.
Thanks for the kind comments! Yes, that's the correct web-site. Be sure to send me an e-mail before you pay for any purchases. I can give a much better deal in the shipping within Canada. And I have really nice satin gift bags for the necklaces and other free treats I can include for you.

TGIF, Ladies of the Sinful thread!!!
I'm so happy that you ladies and gents lucky enough to meet up in Vegas had a great time!! Reading your reviews and seeing the pics (especially the pics of you all having fun together) puts a smile on my face for the whole day. I really do wish that I was there... Speaking of which, thanks for the banner you gals made!! I'll do my best to get my butt to Vegas the next time Judas Priest comes around. |
