The night before the bosom ball, I got very little sleep. I was way to excited about what would happen the next day to sleep any! I mean seeing Crystal Bowersox live is a magical experience and seeing her live singing her original songs is like nothing else! It is absolutely amazing! After I had FINALLY gotten to sleep that night I woke up in the morning with only 4 hours of sleep behind me. It was only 7am in the morning and here I was wide awake with nothing to do until we left at noon! After hours of walking/pacing around the house it was time to LEAVE! That was exciting! I climbed into the car and we were OFF!! Once on the road Michelle turned on a Crystal CD that was burned for her and we listened to a LOT of crystal’s original music on the way.. Which only helped in getting me more hyped up!
I honestly thought we were going to be late to the show but some how we managed to get to Kentucky at 4:00 on the dot. Walking a bit fast we made it to the line. Not many people were in line which surprised me since it was 4:00 and the show was supposed to start! When we got into the theater we stood about 4 or 5 rows back. (all the kids were in front since it was their show after all!) And Crystal came on to the stage.. The feeling was amazing seeing her live again after the American Idol show! Her first song was “Farmers Daughter” that song is AMAZING to see live! All the emotion she puts into it.. I could feel it 5 rows back! I’m sure you could feel it all the way in the back and out the door, it’s just that strong!
After the song was finished we did a mini Q&A. No one seemed like they really wanted to ask a question so Michelle asked the first question. She asked about “Cry no more” on the way to the show we listened to it and wondered what it was about. So having the chance to ask Michelle did. Crystal answered something about it being about a Ex! That’s what I guessed on the way to the show! After the Q&A for session (For that part there was to be Q&A after every song) Crystal mentioned that she didn’t have a ‘set list’ that she followed so it seemed like she was scrambling a bit to think of a song to sing.. I looked at Michelle and told her that we should shout out ‘Finally got it right” so we did and Crystal replied with that’s a good choice! That was the next song. Finally got it right! One of my favorite Crystal Originals!
After a couple of songs I got to ask my question. I was a bit frozen so I didn’t really ask loud enough so she had to say ‘what’ which embarrassed me even more.. I shook it off and asked louder. I asked her something like “How does it feel to be able to sing your own songs because on Idol you weren’t able to.” her response was something like ‘The feeling is amazing.” I was so excited that I didn’t really hear her answer. I was excited that I got to talk to her!
So her set ended and I was sad, but then realized that I would be able to go over and take a picture with her and get a autograph. So we stood in line for a bit then went up as a group. Michelle, Mark and I and took a picture! She sighed my card. But only with her initials. She then looked up at me and said ‘Sorry I’ll have to get you later.” referring to signing my card with her full autograph! I smiled and told her not to worry about it because I already had her autograph twice! She smiled and we were on our way.. After they (the people running the show) ushered her to the back we plugged our phones in until they kicked us out..
At that point we were looking at a couple hours before the next show so we went down the street a few buildings and sat down. We realized that Tim and his girlfriend were there so we waved! After that we ate and sat around talking with Carole and her friend for a bit. Soon it was time to go so we went to freshen up a bit. Walking outside we realized that the lines were LONG and if it wasn’t for Carole and her friend we wouldn’t have been so close to the door!
I’m going to skip talking about the three groups that went before Crystal. But I will say this about VV. Brown. She is amazing and I will defiantly be looking her up and downloading/buying some of her music! Her guitarist was amazing too! (Right Michelle
)
Anyway onto Crystal! We were front and center for the whole show. It was absolutely amazing I had never been that close before to any show I went to! She sang a lot of songs in the show. One of which was a new one called “ numb” AMAZING! She also mentned that “Holy Toledo” will be on the album. That made me REALLY happy! I love Holy Toledo! So again after a bit crystal was at a bit of a loose as to what to sing. So Michelle and I started to shout out “Speak now’ which she did sing! That is another amazing Original song!
After few more songs Crystal’s set ended. And right before Sara came on there was a bit of a fight between Michelle and some drunk girls. There was shoving and whatnot.. It ended and the one girl tried to get on Michelle’s good side. Anyway we stayed for one song then began to make our way out of the building. It was SOOO packed, very hard to move and get out. Such a fire hazard.
Once outside we decided to walk around back to see if we could meet Crystal. As we walked out back It seemed like we were doing something wrong. Which we weren’t so we continued on our way. There were not security guards.
There she was, Crystal Bowersox! She welcomed us and I got another hug from her. We began talking about a lot of different things. Her wedding, Jive, The Village Idiots and some stuff that I am not going to say because it seemed pretty personal. She showed us her ring and talked a bit about where she got her dress! I asked her about Tony ans she said that he was really stuffy and that’s why him and Brian didn’t come.
After that was basically just talking. We all got autographs again and pictures. She’s really awesome! I also got Frankie May’s autograph and I actually told him he was going to be famous.. Haha I felt pretty idiotic but then again I am a Idiot!!
She did invite us to go to a bar with her but we had to decline because we had a 3 ½ hour drive back. Michelle had to get her son on the School bus and I had a Halloween party that day! To say I was tired was a understatement!! We drove home.. And I pretty much fell into my bed and went to sleep!!
And that’s the end of my Crystal Bowersox Weekend!!
