In Chile

Friday - April, 2005     

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well
Hi to all...
First of all I want to say thanks to all the people who make my dream came true.
One is Magdalena (my sister) who gave me the money to go to Chile.
The other is Felipe (their producer) withouth him this can´t be possible.
I want to say thanks to all the GUYS who were so kind with me.
I have a lot of luck because I can see ALL.
And when I said ALL, it is because I was in Backstage. I saw Erin making his job with lights all the afternoon, and he did an AMAZING job!
First I didn´t recognize Adam because his cut his hair,....but then I say hi to him too.
Well..this is how my day started...
I came to the Hyatt Hotel to recieve the GUYS. When they arrive (I was the only one fan there..lol) I gave to Russell and Graham their gifts (I make one candle red for Russell and one green for Graham).
Agos make a drawing too..and Graham said: awww..hehe
After that I went to say hi to Jed, Mike and Jonni...all are WONDERFUL people.
And very talkative.
So...I went to San Carlos de Apoquindo . . . and saw how the guys (the men in black - crew) put all in order with the instruments and those things....

At 17 pm (a little more) Russell and Graham went into the place to check things.
I was sitting in the first chair near the stage (lol) watching everything, Russ and Felipe were walking near there, and when Russell saw me he winkle his eye to me .
Then they started to check the sound...so Adam was playing the drums for a little time....and Sparky and all the team was cheaking the other instruments.
So...the checksound started with Russell singing REMEMBER ME....what a fantastic song! I crid when I heard it. It´s very romantic.
Hope they add it in the DVD or CD.
People was outside before two hours of the show. It was a cold night, and I was only with a shirt (because in the afternoon it was hot). But well...
At 7.00 pm door were open and people came into the place to get the chairs.
The first places were only for the people of the Bank of Chile...so I was in number 15 (so so), but the view was fantastic.
At 20.30 the Show started!
The begun singing Remember Me. Follow by A little bit of Everything. Another amazing song!
So...Graham started to say some words.....and you are not going to believe this!
He was calling me to the stage!!!! Fisrt I thought it was for the woman who was near me, but I was wrong.
I went to the stairs and Graham told EXACTLY how I felt in that moment.
I am going to tell you something: I NEVER FORGET THOSE BLUE EYES TALKING TO ME!
HE SAID THAT MY HEART WAS BEATING VERY FAST, IF I CAN FEEL THAT AND A LOT OF KIND AND ROMANTIC WORDS. HE HOLD MY HAND AND THEN KISSED IT!
GRAHAM IS VERY ROMANTIC!
Well, so I return to my chair after that WONDERFUL moment and started to cry (obviously) and then they started to.

So...
Then after the GUYS sing songs like Sweet Dreams (new version wich is amazing)...and a couple more Russell get off of the stage...and Graham asked if there are children in the place...and asked them to came to the stage.
First only one go up and Graham told: Are you the only one? Is this the future of Chile? Oh dear, you are going to be alone!
So...next 3 more kids went on to the stage. And Graham said: I need around 4 minutes a few seconds because Russell need to get in his leather pants!
All the people laugh.
So he started to sing "We are Children". A beautiful song.
Then Russell return to the stage and he said a few words too.
He said that we must tell the people we love that we need and love them. And to the pets too.
So people laugh with this...but he told them: I am serious.
Graham also said another jokes (you must hear the way in which he said it) like before this years (he was talking about their beginning) NOBODY LOVES HIM, and they haven´t money to eat. As we are fans we know that, but there was a lot of people wich never knew that.
The rest of the songs are "Making Love"....and all the ¨songs we know.¨
Jonni, Mike and Jed make the SOLO and it was amazing!
As you know I love to play instruments, and when I saw the way that Jonni play the bass I really died! Maybe one day I can play like him and of course like Jed (Jed is really amazing). No words can explain Mike....another incredible man.
So...
The best part of this is that I can understand ALL that the GUYS told me...I mean cause of my English, Erin knows Spanish too...and the guys told me that they're learning it. But, as you know, I prefer to speak English...no sense to me to speak Spanish with them..lol
Of course I need to practice a lot yet.
Well, returning to my best day....Russell asked to the people to go to the stage (near) and of course I went there! and we sung with him.
Many people was asking for ¨Lonely is the Night", but he sings "Good night"...and then the show was over.

Well.....the last part.
After Russell song "Good night" he left stage, and I went to backstage. There their were in their camerinos saying Hi to a lot of people who were able to stay there.
Also I met Maria Inés...she is a friend from Graham, and she is very sweet. I was there talking with Jonni and Jed...we take some pics, and then Mike came and asked me if I like the show. I answer to him: WHAT KIND OF QUESTION IS THAT?? Of course I did!
Graham said thanks to me for the candle and I asked if he have that little thing he use for the guitar (in Spanish is PUA, in English it's PIC) and he gave me one.
I stay around less than an hour there watching ALL! I have Russell so NEAR ME...and so far at the same time...because I couldn't speak to him. You are asking why...but I can explain that. I thought that maybe my feelings were very sensitive at that moment. You know how much I love that man...and I was seeing him ALL THE TIME.
Well...later I return to my hotel and in the morning return here. Another 23 hours in a bus!...
What can I say? I am the most happy woman in the world.
My dream finally came true....and now I hope to see them again....

Lots of Love
THE END.
