Well, my good friend, Zee, summed up the evening in Cleveland perfectly. I just want to add that it was such a pleasure to meet Rich. He is truly a wonderful man and truly deserving of all the nice things people say about him. I think every forum member should have the same privilege of getting to meet him someday.
I don't think I've come down from the clouds yet....I do believe this was the best show I've seen personally. Those front row seats sure didn't hurt the situation, and sitting with forum friends is the ONLY way to go!! I was between Tom and Zee so you know I had a great time! The first show I saw with forum members was in Akron in November 2007. That night I met Tom and Darla, Coleen, Zo, Mel and Daryl, and they became instant friends. There have been 3 Ohio shows I've attended since and with the exception of Coleen and the Troxils not making it to Columbus, this core group has been together each time. The great thing is that now I can add Andi, Ann, Ryan, Chris, Joe and numerous others to my list of friends. Of course, the weekend wouldn't have been the same had Zee not been along for the ride! She is like Rich....deserving of every nice word ever said about her.
The Cleveland show was as energized as it could possibly be and just kept getting better with each song. Lisa becomes more special to me every time I see her, and Mairead amazes me more and more with each show! In Columbus, I got to meet Alex and Lynn and was absolutely enchanted by both of them. This show was more special watching them....I saw them in ways I hadn't before. Chloe just blows my mind with how far she has come and matured. She demonstrates such an effortless presence on stage....you can tell how comfortable she is and how much she loves doing what she does. Of course, that can be said for all the girls as well, but I think the maturity Chloe has gained over the last couple of years really serves her well.
I knew at dinner that this would not be my night to meet Lisa (I teased Mel that I need to stop hanging out with her.....I don't want it to be as many meet and greets as she went through before meeting Lisa!!). Our meet and greet was with Chloe and Mairead....they were both so sweet and gracious. I'm glad I got to meet them...I love how down to earth they were and could have chatted the evening away just as I could have with Alex and Lynn in February. Celtic Woman shows their fans true appreciation....they should be a role model for all the celebrities in Hollywood.
Thank you to everyone for making the weekend in Cleveland one to remember for a long, long time! As Zee said.....let's do it again!!
