Bon Jovi has provided the background music too my life. I love my Bon Jovi freinds, a good group of people for the most part. I will never forget 3/5/06 and 3/6/06 or an elevator ride at 2:00 am on 3/7/06. I will never forget the look on my freind Janices face when she @#$%^&* and I @#$%^&*!!!! Then there was the ride in the Town Car from the Benson to the Rose Garden in Portland, with 3 of my girlfriends...Zany Driver and literally similar to a carnival ride- but we did arrive in "style" LOL - We had went to both the PORTLAND & SEATTLE Bon Jovi HAND concerts with a group of freinds. All three days could have been written for a sitcom....is there anything else better than laughter?!?!....well ....ok, however both concerts were FABULOUS!!!! I had FRONT ROW BOTH NIGHTS!!!! SEATTLE I WAS JUST ABOUT DEAD CENTER IN FRONT OF JON, BUT NOT QUITE....WE ALL GOT IN THE FAN PIT @ THE SEATTLE SHOW AND YES....I GOT TO PLACE MY HAND ON JON's BEAUTIFUL FACE AS HE STOOD IN FRONT OF US WITH HIS GUITAR...MY MOUTH DROPPED AS HE PULLED AWAY FEELING HIS BABY SOFT HAIR RUN THROUGH MY FINGERS, ONLY TO REALIZE I HAD A PALM FULL OF JON'S BODY SWEAT ON MY HAND....eeeeeeeew you might say...NOT ME...BUT STANDING IN FRONT OF 20,000 PEOPLE ON STAGE YOU'VE GOT TO KEEP YOUR COOL - I think I pulled it off ;)LOL, Yes that's my hand (closest to his face, reaching for Jon ;) Didn't have to reach far as he bent inward ;) He did have a big grin on his face the whole time...believe it or not,what a sweetheart to play w/us & then he pulled back :( but OMGosh! Don't go! I & a Jovi gal pal stand there. VIDEO IS FROM PORTLAND - JON SPENT MOST OF HIS TIME IN FRONT OF US IN THIS VID, BY THE FAN PIT - CANT SEE US THO, TOO FAR AWAY. WHEN HE GOES TO THE PIT, TURNS AROUND AND THEN BENDS OVER HE IS SMILING AT ME and MY GAL PAL - WHO WERE FLIPPING OUT BECAUSE OF ALL THE GIRLS TOUCHING HIM - LOL - OH WELL IT WAS MY TURN NEXT NIGHT IN SEATTLE ;) .....................................CHICKEN SOUP FOR THE "JOVIAL" SOUL: STORY ABOUT CAITIE "My Angel"Ok...I told you about Caitie above...since she died, I have been blessed with so many signs...the following is just one of more than a few. I dedicated "Born To Be My Baby" too Caitie. She used to sit on my lap and listen to that song w/me as well. Well...I still talk to her sometimes... ask her for favors if she's able to help etc..ya see I know she lives on in a better place. This time....I wanted so bad to get onstage w/Bon Jovi in the fan pits...what to do..not only did I want for myself, but for all my girlfreinds to get in at the same time...for weeks this was my request & prayer. Well..long story short,....ya ya ya we got our wristbands to get onstage...ALL OF US! Then we were told to get in line to go onstage when the 4th song started. I didn't realize it 'till after the fact but the 4th song was...you guessed it "Born To Be My Baby". Coincidence? Maybe...but "I BELIEVE" ;) RICHIE SAMBORA PERFORMING 'I'LL BE THERE FOR YOU" Another gal pal & I in the front row...awesomely close to Jon's white mic ;) I've got the red sign in my hands - this was taken by still another gal pal, but I thought it was cool because of the fading guitar in the background, and I can see just about each of my girlfreinds in the audience, even tho we were scattered. I LOVE THIS SONG AND VIDEO...BON JOVI TAPED IN PORTLAND OREGON AND TACOMA WASHINGTON TACOMA DOME LAY YOUR HANDS ON ME I REMEMBER WHEN THEY TAPED IT I WANTED TO GO SO BAD BUT I WAS 8 MONTHS PREGNANT W/MY SECOND BABY SO I OPTED TO STAY HOME.********************* I won this autographed booklet (full of pic's)w/the BOX SET - - Lucky Girl I Am!
