I’ve been in the clouds and dealing with real life things. A little late but here it goes….

VIP- David walks in to the area through some curtain dividers, all smiles walks towards us, the cheering and applause is loud. I love the way he walks, not tentative but confident assured steps towards us, so relaxed, looking at everyone, not just glancing but looking, making eye contact and yes everyone he glows, his hair shines, his eyes sparkle, he has a perfect nose, his smile, OMG his smile made me forget anyone else was there. I can honestly say I have never seen anyone as gorgeous as David, he is stunning. He sits at the keyboard. I’m not breathing and my mouth is in a frozen smile, I smiled so much that my cheeks and jaw are sore today… lol I watched him I wanted to memorize his every movement, his mannerism’s, his facial expressions. He laughs so easily and freely, I could feel his joy, nothing fake, he is so real. He sang Crazy first and then Heaven. It was crazy, he goes somewhere when he sings, to hear him up close is breathtaking. My heart was beating so hard, it was like a feeling of disbelief, how can anyone sing like this? That VOICE, his intensity, his falsettos, its soul piercing, all so overwhelming. At this point the money I paid was not enough, this and this alone is worth every penny.

Most everyone went to get in line the line was on the other side of a wall where you didn’t have a view. I wanted to absorb everything about him, I stood with some others and I just watched his face, his body language, his interaction with the fans, young and old, male or female. One thing I noticed is his gentleness with children, he’s gentle with all and gives his undivided attention, but with children he’s so tender. I wondered how he could focused on each individual while we watched him during all these exchanges, he gave everyone the same respect, he shook hands, he gave hugs with no hesitation, genuine, sincere, so very real. I waited toward the end, trying to take dawn’s cue here. David took my extended hand and said hi! All smiles, his eyes looked right at me and I was able to say what I wanted to say without crying, he didn’t let go of my hand as I spoke and I instinctively placed my other hand over his, I didn’t realized I had done this until we hugged. I told him what I had rehearsed, he’s looking right into my eyes, his eyes literally sparkle, and he makes you feel at ease, like he really is interested in what you have to say. He says awww thank you, smiling… we hugged, this is when I realized he still has a firm gentle grip on my hand and I have his hand, huge hand in both my hands, we pose for the picture, I say thank you again and walk away. I’m so blown away by his graciousness, sincerity and genuine nature.

As he’s leaving someone points up to him, there’s big window on the second level filled with people looking down at us, he waves and everyone screams, I look up and what do I see, my 6 grandkids, my son and daughter, their spouse’s glued to the window watching with a huge crowd waiting to get into the venue. I find out they saw my entire time with David. Our hand holding, our hug, my grandkids asked me if I was crying, I was trying not to. It all ended way to fast. I recommend, I urge anyone who hasn’t VIP’d, to do so!

The concert was something else, WFM stood out the most for me, like he’s trying to make us understand it, he is where he wants to be. Barriers and Zero Gravity obvious favorites, Apologize unbelievable, You Can has a new life, he’s killing this one. Tons of screaming, arm waving, dancing! Every song was perfection. My son in law is a base player and singer in a punk rock band. So was curious about his opinion. He said he’s not into pop music, that most of the song’s have the same back beat, which makes them sound similar, except for Zero Gravity and You can. He is very jealous of David’s vocals, he would give anything to be able to sing like that and he said he can sing! That out of all the songs he actually had a favorite, from a punk rocker, it was You Can.

I’m anxious for Christmas Album! Had a great time with fellow TDC’rs after David’s set. We talked and talked about all things David, I envy those that can fly around to see him. I am overwhelmed by the whole experience meeting David and David fans. I now am so ready to do it all over again. I love him more today than yesterday and didn’t realize that was possible.
