George Michael Rocks the Pond!

Yuppers! George Michael rocked the Honda Center (also known as Anaheim Duck Pond) in Anaheim, CA last night!! I went with some of faire friends, Dyana, Lu and Nancy (HUGE THANKS TO DY for getting the FREE tickets!) We were sitting stage right in the balcony looking right onto the stage. From out vantage point, we could even see the backstage area.



There was quite an eclectic variety of people attending the show, from all age groups (mostly MY age) and walks of life. I have to say that most everyone was dressed to the nines!!!!



There was no opening act, and he didnt start promptly at 8pm the way the tickets stated....LOL. But once he took the stage the crowd went WILD!!!!



I was quite impressed with his voice! It was simply amazing. The stage was lit up by 3 screens, one that was actually part of the stage he and the singers stood on.



About half way through they took a 20 minute break, never have seen that happen before. Considering he played for about 2 hours, I guess I understand. There were no cameras allowed inside, but of course that didnt stop the thousands from taking pics and vids on cell phones... (me inlcuded!) Please excuse the quality of the pics and vids... again, it was only my little cell phone.









Pic of big screen





WARNING:

The quality is poor and sound is even worse
not to mention LOUD, please adjust your speakers
BEFORE you play the videos!
(and it only takes 15 seconds of video)






It was a terrific night... please dont ask what songs he played, I really couldnt tell you the names..... =0P



It was an awesome show. I highly recommend if you are a fan, get tickets and go see him!!!



Ok... thats it for today... I am off to a "private" faire, known as Funco Faire... sorry NO cameras allowed there either, well after 6pm anyway! =0P



I hope you all enjoy your Saturday..... cant wait to hear the stories and see the pics from TEAM WI!!!



Hugs and love to all!



Minxie



PS: Vicky THANKS for calling me with the JD fun!!!! You ROCK!!!!

Minxie, that's cute about your DD & Sweeney Todd. I had the granddaughter in the car yesterday morning, to drop her off with her parents, and I had ST in the CD. After a couple of miles I noticed that she was trying to sing and keep beat with the music! She can't even talk yet!

I started to tell my daughter this, and she interrupted and said that the GD does it all the time and with all kinds of music! How funny. She's only 11 months. I thought I was hearing things!

Lotus said...

Well, Sir Jack, I'm glad you asked. I am going up to the cabin tomorrow. Thought I'd go today, but that didn't happen. Then I'll probably read my 'golden nugget' from you-know-who and hang out. I'll probably start the day by sleeping in late!

You doing anything else, other than going to Captain Blies place (the gangster place). For some reason I cannot remembet the ganster's anme today!

~Minxie~ said...

LOL.... Shakes got sucked in by Jack!!!!

Yes, Lotus love what are your plans for vaca?

Lotus said...

All the girls get sucked in by Jack! He's a sly boots.

-Sir Jack said...

Whoa? THE cabin? Where's that love?

We're still on the brewery ticket on the way back. Maybe do some go kart racing too :)

-Sir Jack said...

Minx- what's the tail end few words of that URL...not working love.

Lotus said...

Sir Jack, the cabin is about 10 miles north of Little Bohemia. I thought I'd told you that before? Did you think I would just go up north to stalk you? Well, I would, but you shouldn't think it!

~Minxie~ said...

When you copy it.... take the copy all the way down....
if that doesnt work I will do the tiny url

~Minxie~ said...

Try this

Lotus said...

Minxie's URL post worked for me. Andy, I think that was his name, looks VERY different without his long hair!

~Minxie~ said...

Lotus.... will you be dining at little bo again?

-Sir Jack said...

Lotus, well that must be nice, um to have a cabin, not stalk me!!!

I'm really not stalking material...
*swigs*

~Minxie~ said...

LOL... I laughed when I saw his self pic from in the bathroom! Poor guy prolly didnt want to get caught with a camera.

-Sir Jack said...

Thanks Minxie!! Interesting story!!

Lotus said...

Actually, I have NEVER dined there. In all the years I've been going up there, never been to Little Bo's! I do want to go and if I cannot get family to go with me, I will probably just go myself this week!

-Sir Jack said...

Lotus, at Bo's there's this really big room with all the tables...and then there's a little room off to the left...that's where we were seated.

The little room next to that room is where the shootout was...check out the bullet holes on the outside of the building. Very cool.

I'm surprised nobody in your fam has gone?

Lotus said...

I have been going to a (either my parent's, sister's, or my own) cabin up there for 45 years now. My folks used to tell me the stories about Little Bo and Dillinger when I was a kid. I was always interested, but never went.

~Minxie~ said...

I am excited about the possibilities of tomorrow and the cast/wrap party for Manure...... how cool is that? LOL....

-Sir Jack said...

Minxie, you're going to the wrap party? Whoa, she's a bigshot!!

~Minxie~ said...

Well now you have a reason to get your arse to Little Bo !!!!

You can feel like you were part of the action of PE now....

-Sir Jack said...

Yeah Lotus, we both missed out on meeting JD and this is as close as it gets honey!! GO BO!!

~Minxie~ said...

LOL.... no big shot here... just have a great friend who doesnt want to go alone. I get to go if the DH decides he doesnt want to go.... or if the director says its cool. So its still an IF....

Lotus said...

Actually, Jack, my family of origin has not been wealthy enough to eat out too often. Until recently, most of us probably could not have afforded to eat at the Little Bo. It's only recently that I figured that my husband and I could afford to go to Little Bo to eat.

This probably makes no sense to anyone other than me.

-Sir Jack said...

OK spill it Minx!! What/how does your DH fit in with all this? What does he do?

-Sir Jack said...

I mean your friend's DH...what the?

Lotus said...

Jack, I think the DH is Minxie's friend's husband. I believe Minxie is divorced. Is that correct minxie?

-Sir Jack said...

If you have a cabin...I would think you would be able to buy a meal at Bo's...most everything is under $20.

More than McD's and less than a good steakhouse.

But I think I know where you're coming from on this Lotus. *smiles*

Lotus said...

Well, I'm falling asleep so I have to call it a wrap. Hey, I'm in the movies! You two be good.

Jack have fun tomorrow! Minxie, go get him!!!!

~Minxie~ said...

*laughs hysterically* NOT my DH.... I dont have one of those.... lol.... used to.. but now he is my ex-DH....( and the D doesnt = Darling anymore....=0P ) I am not married....

Its my friend's DH.

She has written a screenplay that the directors are interested in... so they invited her to the party. Since they are not allowing press (which she and her husband are professionally) her DH prolly wont go to the cast/wrap party. That means I get to go. Savvy?

~Minxie~ said...

Good night Lotus love!!!! Sleep well! Have an awesome vacation. We will be thinking about you!!!!
Enjoy Little Bo!!!!

-Sir Jack said...

G'nite my sweet Lotus!
Have fun this week!!!
I'll miss you!

-Sir Jack said...

Minxie, wow, I hope you get to go!!
So her DH must be well known enough to not want to be there if press isn't invited. I get it.

Screenplay!! Very cool!!

Lotus said...

It's a very tiny cabin! Not like what the FIPS have. Actually, our cabin was once the Honeymoon Cabin for a small resort. I think it was actually built around Dillinger's time period, and updated once or twice since then.

As for the eating out thing, my parents had nine children and very little money! So we were probably lucky that we had food. It's like a mindset; you don't do anything unnecessary, just in case the worst happens and you need the money! And the cabin they bought when I was five, was VERY rustic! No electricity, no running water, and an outhouse! I loved it!

~Minxie~ said...

Wow! Nine kids.... what # are you?



Jack... lol... no the DH isnt well known, just doesnt want to drive from San Diego to LA unless he can make a buck! LOL

Lotus said...

Yep, night Jack & Minxie! I'll be missing you both, along with everyone else!

Good luck Minxie!

-Sir Jack said...

Lotus, my family was big, but not as big as yours. We too, didn't eat out much. If we went to Mcd's, and it was rare, as kids we had to split everything in half.

So your cabin is an authentic cabin!!
You're so lucky!!

Lotus said...

I'm number nine!

-Sir Jack said...

OOOooohh Baby Lotus!!
G'nite Baby!!

Lotus said...

I really like this cabin. It's very small, so not a lot of cleaning to do! I do more than enough of that at home. Well, someone expects me to do it! :) Stop sucking me in, Jack! NIGHT!

Jack, maybe we will pass like ships in the night on the Wisconsin roadways tomorrow.

~Minxie~ said...

Thanks for the well wishes Lotus.... wishing you a FABULOUS week!!!!! Lots of rest and relaxation!!!!


I am the second of 2!!! Babies RULE!!! LOL

Lotus said...

BTW, how many were in your family Jack? And what # are you?

-Sir Jack said...

What will you be driving Lotus?

~Minxie~ said...

Good night Lotus!!!!


Jack you sticking around ? or you out too?

Lotus said...

"Nobody puts Baby in the corner."

Green babies rule!

-Sir Jack said...

Babes, all of ya!!

5 in my family,

1 kid

1 kid--me
1 kid

-Sir Jack said...

~Minxie~ said...

Ok all.... get some sleep.... its late here and even later there!!!!

Good night.... sleep well..... enjoy your vacation!!!!

Will keep you all posted about tomorrow!!!!

Sweet dreams!!!

Lotus said...

A red Chevy Impala. The official Social Worker's car. :)

-Sir Jack said...

I can't believe I stayed up this late...I'm going to pay in the morning.

Take care...
G'nite loves & lurkers!

Lotus said...

Jack is # 4. How sweet. Good thing he wasn't a twin. I don't know that the world could handle 2 Jacks! Night luvs!

-Sir Jack said...

Red Chevy Impala? God, there's a million of those on the road!!
Wear a pointy hat love!! Then I'll know it's you!!!

Drive safely!!

Lotus said...

OK, I'll take my witch's hat with the orange hair! You can't miss that!

-Sir Jack said...

ooh, sexy orange hair. Lotus Baby!!

-Sir Jack said...

Good luck tomorrow Minxie!!
