Richard:  Reading about that wonderful night put a much-needed smile on my face.   Smiley  I had a great time with you all before, during and after the concert.   

I will never forget what genuine, loving, funny and caring people the ladies of CW are. 

Plus, should I ever need to take a driving test again, I will have U-turns down pat!  Grin 

Love,

M/J/W  (he he - that made me laugh!)

Well Rich, That was worth the wait!!!   What a truly wonderful night you had.  To say I wish I could have been there is as big an understatement as anyone could ever make. I'm so very glad for you and the others and I KNOW the girls and Nick were more than happy to be able to show you just how much you mean to ALL of us.   And I'll bet you forgot you were tired for a while, huh!!!  I don't think I could have slept any after an evening like that-- but I'm sure you were ready to try.  Next year, friend, I will do my very best to be at the final show of the season ( No, I don't expect to accompany you to the meeting after--that should always be something JUST for you!! ) 
    Great review of the show-- but the REAL show was after.  Congratulations and I'll see ya soon!! ( I hope!!! LOL )

Rich,

Les and I enjoyed meeting you, Chris, and Eric, too. Hopefully, we'll get to meet up again at the taping. Your posts described the concert to a "t". I noticed that the girls  were looking at, winking, and blowing kisses your way, and I can only imagine how thrilled you must have felt.

I'm not surprised at Orlagh's warmth, since I have heard her praised so many times for being such a loving, genuine person. Please congratulate Eric on his engagement.

Stay well,

Dianne

Rich,

THANK YOU so much for sharing that with us. What an experience you had, especially with the girls after the show. I can't imagine being in a situation like that, how wonderful. It was amazing to read so thank you for posting all of it! Like Diane said, I'm not surprised by Orlagh. She seems to be one of the kindest, warmest people alive! Not a surprise! Also, good to hear that Chris was able to talk to Máiréad a lot. I know how much he adores her so that's wonderful!  Cheesy Great, great post.

Also, congrats to Eric on his engagement!

Oh, Rich, what fun to read!  I'm continually impressed with Nicky, Róisín, Órlagh, and everyone within Celtic Woman.  I hope to be able to see those snapshots that are on Órlagh's camera one day!  Joanne and Rachel are so wonderful, and it was great of Joanne to escort you outside.

Eric, congratulations to you!

Chris, I know Mairead made your evening!

Thank you, Rich, for sharing so much of your night with us.

Love you!
Kelli

PS I hereby volunteer to drive you to your next backstage event  Cheesy Grin

Rich,  thanks for sharing what happened after the show.I agree these folks have class and good charachter.  Though I didn't hear of any contest for a M&G here in Los Angeles.  Yes the time goes by fast for a happy occassion. Good the M/W/J was able to meet them too. I knew Joanne wouldn't leave her out. Hopefully some of us will meet the ladies as well(hint - me Wink)  We are fans  yet we are friends with CW Smiley

Rich!!!

WOW!!! What a wonderful ,memorable evening that must have been for you and your sons. I can't think of anyone who deserved that kind of attention from the CW crew as much as you. You have given so much of your time and effort to the forum.
Is it any wonder that I love Orlagh as much as I do?? She is just a very,very special lady. And I agree that Joanne is a definite asset to CW Ltd. as is Rachel.

Chris  - so glad you got to spend some time with Mairead.
Eric - congratulations on your engagement. I wish you much happiness and love.
Mary ( Willow/Jeeves) - thanks for taking care of " the boys ".

Kelli - If you drive Rich, I will navigate. LOL

Thank you Jim M and OFG for your LA Greek Theatre Performance reports. It’s never too late to write of the joy of Celtic Woman, what an outstanding Organization CW LTD is and the fine people that make it so!  Cheesy

Your narratives are rich with fascinating detail. So good of them to adjust that spotlight Jim M and I can picture Òrla responding to your gesture in kind. She is such a treasure! The events Rich recounts exceed my expectations. What a grand night you all had!

Congrats to Eric for his engagement and the complement from Lynn! What class she has and what a talent!

You’re right-on in writing that Joanne is delightful.  Wink I had the privilege of meeting Joanne at the Sacramento ’08 Performance. With direct eye contact she spoke with me as if I was the only guy in the auditorium. Her genuine kindness and interest in me took my breath away. Frankly, I wasn’t prepared to be so warmly engaged. I think I recovered enough to not make a total fool of myself. She accepted my stack of thank you cards with grace and humility. Wow! I still experience joy thinking about those moments talking with her and confidence the cards were safe with her until she could deliver them.

Good to know Òrla and John are vacationing. I hope they are having the best time, a safe time.

I hope the entire Casts and Crew are having the most wonderful summer and good R&R before getting ready for Europe. And I wish Alex every blessing from above as she goes on her way. Alex, you're fabulous!  Cheesy

Someone mentioned photographs, and we realized that none of us had a camera.  We had all obeyed the “no cameras” rule to the letter.  Orlagh came to the rescue and produced her own camera, and Joanne volunteered to take some snapshots.  All the performers and fans got into a bunch of group shots.
Better late than never, right?  At long last, here is the best of the group photos from last year's Greek Theater meeting with the girls.


(L-R) Mary, Chloë, Chris, Máiréad, (some old, fat dude), Lynn, Alex, Órlagh and Eric

What a great night!  That's me on the left trying not to pass out (hence the glazed look in my eyes - lol).  I just remembered that I managed to not make a complete fool out of myself, but each of the ladies was sooo nice and approachable.  The whole evening will go down as one of the awesomest for me (and a complete surprise!)  Of course I did manage to get a little lost (love those U-turns) driving Rich, Chris and Eric back to their hotel.   Cheesy

We were thrilled to have you there, M/W/J. We couldn't have asked for a better companion. Your presence and the joy in your face getting to meet the girls really capped off a thoroughly remarkable evening. Thank you.  Smiley
