Slims was great last night! I was with my Steve and my older sister who lives in San Fran. We were first in line with our tickets and got to meet Joe, Jeff and Jeff's wife, Christie! They just walked out the front door and talked with the three of us. At first I didn't see Jeff 'cause he was wearing a hat and wasn't facing us. It was funny because I asked about him.....He said something about recognizing his "good side".....He's a funny guy. We mostly talked with Joe and enjoyed the moment.......and of course hand shakes and hugs! What a great time!!

Hi! I'm Steve, Milli's hubbie. Was a great concert, albeit the quality of the music seemed to reach it's ultimate when Joe came on stage (could have listened to him the entire 4+ hrs). It was really kickback - meeting the performers and spouses.

I managed to take some pics - the first experience with my new camera. Edited down to eight and sent them to Milli's FB page and will attempt to post them to this forum as well. Steve (alias robbie_scotland@hotmail.com)

Grant... Frank was Robin Williams' (very gay) brother in the movie Mrs.Doubtfire. Jack was his live-in boyfriend. When the kids asked him who made him up like a woman, he said "Uncle Frank and Aunt Jack"...lol

Only 5 days into our high speed internet, we get a virus. Fortunately we have great anti-virus software.

Damn you, you sneaky little pocket organizered, highly intelligent nerds, who have to pay for sex, putting viruses on the web just for fun. I'm gonna kick your ass the next time I see one of you.

GG, hi 5 on getting to see Joe and the dimpled one up close! Great guys - all of 'em are hilarious. Happy for you and Steve.

GG2 - glad you had such a great time and got to meet Joe and the others!! Did u say hi from me? It's OK if u were caught up in the excitement :)

And you got to hear Crushing Day!! Fantastic.

Steve - glad you took pics we peeps 22000km away appreciate them.

Peace - I played the Andalusia vid on my iPhone driving down the freeway I didn't want to wait haha but I am an extremely careful driver so no danger to anyone....

Skippygirl- You what........? Joe would not be happy if one of his most devoted fans was harmed in the pursuit of watching ......Oh...Lol.....be careful......no speeding

Are ALL those graphics throughout the entire video? Fux sake man, let Joe be Joe, not some glowing out of focus guitar guy with an overkill of 60's graphics. That's my band they're effin with!! lol!

That said on just seeing one song, I'll see what it looks like on my tv tomorrow and see if I eat my words. I hope I do.

Aww, that gives me warmz for gg2 and Steve :) Any time anyone gets to meet up with Joe is a GREAT time! And BONUS!! A Cappucino with yer Joe!! Lovely :)

Those guys never disappoint :)

Chelle, u'll get yers before I gits mine, cuz remember, yer 3 hours ahead of me you BRAT!!! But....I shall allow it just this once :) Getting excited over here!!! WOO WOO!!

Michelle- I don't know for sure but I think I kinda like the glowing Joe.........Lol... That being said a whole DVD of effects might be tiresome but I thought Joe's playing was absolutely jaw dropping.

Peas Lily, Joe's playing is always stellar, which is why there's no reason to throw in all that other who-ha. I wanna see their expressions and emotions, not a glowy blur that hurts my old eyeballs. lol!

T-Bones, You need to move. lol! We have a Best Buy less than 4 miles away too! Just another reason to pack up the ol' Focus!

TONS of marijuana found in the back of a truck not to far from here. Dats alotta weed!!

Wow, my son's new jam band just finished a 20 minute feckin tune. lmao! They go down there and just jam away in a kind of jazz/funk kind of haze. I gotta tell them to put a hole in some of those jams for some solo stuff. It's great tho cause there's no Cookie Monster screams. lol! No vocals at all, so it's all gravy and the hubs and I rather enjoy it.

It's always better when there are'nt any Cookie Monster screams....

Dave: Gotcha on the Uncle Frank & Aunt Jack. It's been a while since I've seen Mrs. Doubtfire.

Skippygirl: I just got back from doing an easy 10 mile run. The weather is in the 20s-30s (thank gawd the wind wasn't blowing). I'm also trying out one of my two new pairs of running shoes. I'll wear my other pair later in the year or until next year.

Michelle, Peace Lily, and Tracie: My Amazon order is being shipped out as well. Can't wait until comes! WOOHOO!!!

GG2: Thank you (and Steve) for the info on the benefit/concert. Amazing that you got to talk with Joe and some of the other musicians. Kudos to you both.

Pea Lily, I'm excited about it too. Guess I got 'em all up in a bunch because we finally get to have some "just Joe", and they done went and effed with the visuals. I must take a moment to say one thing about the vid and Joe...nice pants. lol!

Tracie--I dig your story and I stand by you in that! Thanx for your comments about the meetin' up with Joe and Jeff. It was so beautiful just to hang together and talk about now and how great and special that moment is/was.....to be accepted just as I am. See what happens when I just go out as I am...not as what I'd like to be Mrs. Perfection. And I think Joe is so perfect because I want to be as good natured as he is and as easy going, generous and happy! But just being with him in the moment.....seeing his example....that means the world to me and hope I soak up all the joy and qualities I see in him.

Michelle--It's just like you said--great hugs......warmly given and received! Good times! I got my sway on last night and my feet still haven't touched the ground!

Blue_Moon Alan--You mentioned Eddie Money. I don't know anything of his whereabouts last night.......I only know either the Alameda All Stars or Billy Satellite did a cover of one of his great songs........I WANNA GO BACK AND DO IT ALL OVER, BUT I CAN'T GO BACK I KNOW-OH!!! That's the beauty of Eddie Money........I was so high from meeting Joe, Jeff, Stu and Jeff's wife....Waaaay Heh! And hearing this Eddie Money classic!!!!! Great times!!

Hey Joe! what you doin with that gun in your hands! ha cant wait to hear you play some hendrix!

Youtube: Andulasia (Live In Paris DVD 2010)
(yes a lot of those bloody childish FX: sometimes it's realy beautiful coloring (4:43) of stage/musicians view, but covering all with "tie-dye" or fractal paterns (5:34), no thanks! It's too bad, because this DVD has some stunning camera angles and close-ups, so it's exactly the one that didn't need much FX added or "fast and exciting" editing)
Listening to the CD -all day!- doesn't have those distractions :-)

Hey Alan...how is that lefty 1200 working out for you?

I watched the "Live in Paris"-DVD last night and I really enjoyed the sound and Joe´s playing (as always!!) It looks like the band and the audience was having a really great time with a great show. That is also the way I remember it at the London- and Copenhagenshows which I attended.

B U T . . . .

I have to say you guys made a BIG mistake on the picture side of the DVD. It is overloaded with special effects and flashing and distorted pictures. It´s like watching a really bad MTV-video - only this one lasts 2 hours plus!! Watching it to the very end was a pain, but I kept hoping for a steady picture...... but that didn´t happen!

One of the joys of the previous live-DVDs was watching Joe´s fretwork and facial expressions up close but with "Paris" that experience is totally ruined.

Hey Joe, if you ever read this message, for future DVDs please go back to the high standard of filming as on the previous DVDs, and cut out all the flashy stuff because with "Live in Paris" the clipping/cutting/editing is no less than a disaster.

I noticed though that Jeff at the end of "Summer Song" did a small solo, just like he did in Copenhagen! - What a pleasant surprise that was for me personally. He really made my day! Who knows, Jeff may even get to like doing solos some day....

All the best..... Lea in Denmark

Dear dogs and cats,

The dishes with the paw prints are yours and contain your food. The other dishes are mine and contain my food. Placing a paw print in the middle of my plate and food does not stake a claim for it becoming your food and dish, nor do I find that aesthetically pleasing in the slightest.

The stairway was not designed by NASCAR and is not a racetrack. Racing me to the bottom is not the object. Tripping me doesn't help because I fall faster than you can run.

I cannot buy anything bigger than a king sized bed. I am very sorry about this. Do not think I will continue sleeping on the couch to ensure your comfort, however. Dogs and cats can actually curl up in a ball when they sleep.. It i s not necessary to sleep perpendicular to each other, stretched out to the fullest extent possible. I also know that sticking tails straight out and having tongues hanging out on the other end to maximize space is nothing but sarcasm.

For the last time, there is no secret exit from the bathroom! If, by some miracle, I beat you there and manage to get the door shut, it is not necessary to claw, whine, meow, try to turn the knob or get your paw under the edge in an attempt to open the door. I must exit through the same door I entered. Also, I have been using the bathroom for years - canine/feline attendance is not required.

The proper order for kissing is: Kiss me first, then go smell the other dog or cat's butt. I cannot stress this enough.

Finally, in fairness, dear pets, I have posted the following message on the front door:

TO ALL NON-PET OWNERS WHO VISIT AND LIKE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT OUR PETS:

(1) They live here. You don't.
(2) If you don't want their hair on your clothes, stay off the furniture. That's why they call it 'fur'-niture.
(3) I like my pets a lot better than I like most people.
(4) To you, they are animals. To me, they are adopted sons/daughters who are short, hairy, walk on all fours and don't speak clearly.
