Hi! I was named The Concert Lady, here in Portland, Oregon, way back in 1973 because of the number of concerts that I'd attended, and my willingness to spend at least the night, if not days in line for that coveted front row spot! Back then, you were allowed to take pictures with a 35mm SLR camera too! You can see the results of this in my slide shows below. However, I have never sold, or published any of my concert photos, and they are not for sale now either. Unfortunately, this type of camera is rarely allowed into concerts any more, and that is a shame! I do still take pictures with a digital camera whenever I can, but the quality is poor compared to that of an SLR, film type camera. You don't need to use a flash with an SLR, film camera, but it is almost always neccessary with a digital. I still attend as many concerts as possible, but the ticket prices have become astronomical, and I can't go to as many as I'd like any more! If you look at the first slide show, you will see that a ticket for Pink Floyd, in 1972 was only $4.50!!!! I paid $140.00 to see Roger Waters in 2006! Not that Roger is not worth $140.00, he most certainly is! But, that's still a bit high! My last Stones ticket was $200.00!!! And they too are worth the price to see in concert! Nobody rivals Mick Jagger on stage! I'm also a HUGE fan of Russell Crowe, and his band, The Ordinary Fear Of God. I've had the fantastic opportunity to see them three times in concert so far, and I'm hoping that there will be a new CD, and more concerts here in the states soon!

Cool Slideshows

My Interests

Concert photography is my number 1 interest! I am also interested in astronomy, reading, collecting CDs, and movies. I LOVE MY SPACE!!!!! I also LOVE the eventful.com website that allows fans to create DEMANDS for their favorite performers!

Sydney

I'd like to meet:

First, I would LOVE to meet Jesus, my best mate Anne, Russell Crowe, The Rolling Stones, Alice Cooper, And too many other performers to list here!

Music:

I LOVE to collect the oldies, ( 50's, & 60's ) on CD! I have boxes full of 45's, and albums from that era, but, it's way cool to find them on CD! I've been a Beatlefan since 1963, and a Rolling Stones fan since 1965. I got to see The Beatles in concert four times in San Francisco, at The Cow Palace in both 1964, and 1965! I love ALL kinds of music, from classical, to rock! PLEASE feel free to add a DEMAND for Russell Crowe & TOFOG to play Portland using the sticker below! I would really appreciate it!

Movies:

Any movie that Russell Crowe is in. ALIEN! In my opinion, Alien is the greatest science fiction film ever made! But, I like to collect the old 50's, and 60's sci fi stuff too! My other favorites include: Cast Away, Ladder 49, Forrest Gump, Saving Private Ryan, ( I think that Tom Hanks is a fantastic actor too! ) both versions of The Flight Of The Phoenix, The African Queen, and too many more to mention!

Television:

Deal Or No Deal, Law & Order, The Price Is Right, The Tonight Show, Conan O'Brien, Craig Ferguson, Dirty Jobs, Mythbusters, Emergency Vets, Thank GOD You're Here, and ER.

Books:

My favorite authors are: Clive Cussler, Stephen King, Dean Koontz, Annie Proulx, Rohinton Mistry, and Amy Tan.

Heroes:

JESUS! And, all of the soldiers who have, and are now putting their lives in danger to protect my freedom!
