Guest Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 WHAT A NIGHT!!! IT WAS OUR FIRST TIME SEEING DSO (MY HUSBAND AND I)...WHAT A MINDBLOWER!!! HAVING 133 DEAD/GARCIA SHOWS UNDER MY BELT...AND MY HUSBAND NOT SEEING ANY DEAD/GARCIA SHOWS - WELL, LET'S JUST SAY, WE WERE BLOWN AWAY!!! THIS NIGHT WAS OUR 'BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION' AS OUR BIRTHDAY (BOTH OF US!!!) WAS SPRING SOLSTICE (MARCH 20th)...SO WE PLANNED THIS EVENING WELL: A NIGHT AT THE BENSON, DINNER WITH FRIENDS, AND OFF TO SEE D.S.O. WELL, IT JUST COULDN'T HAVE GONE ANY BETTER...OR COULD IT!!!??? WE ARRIVED AT THE CRYSTAL AROUND 8:30 p.m. DRINKING A COCKTAIL...WHEN ONE OF THE CRYSTAL'S 'STAFF EVENT' PERSONNEL CAME OVER TO US AND TOLD US THAT MY HUSBAND WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO SEE THE SHOW (HE'S IN A WHEELCHAIR...YOU MIGHT HAVE SEEN HIM AS HE WAS WEARING A 'STEAL YOUR FACE' SHIRT WITH THE INDY COLTS SYMBOL), ANYHOOOO, THE GUY SAID HE WOULD PUT US IN THE V.I.P. SECTION DUE TO THE 'HEIGHT' OF MY HUBBY!!! WELL, WE WERE SO ESTATIC....WE AGREED, THERE ARE SOME FRINGE BENEFITS TO BEING A QUADRIPLEGIC ;O) WE HAD GREAT ACCESS TO COCKTAILS ALL EVENING AND A FANTASTIC VIEW!!! NOW, WE WOULDN'T SUGGEST BECOMING A C-4/C-5 QUAD TO GET THIS GREAT VIEW...BUT WE FEEL BLESSED TO START OUR LOVE OF D.S.O. WITH SUCH A FANTASTIC NIGHT!!! WHAT A BIRTHDAY PRESENT!!! I MUST ADMIT, I WAS A LITTLE HESITANT ABOUT D.S.O., BEING SUCH A DEAD FAN FOR SO MANY YEARS....THE SHOW STARTED SLOW FOR ME, BUT THEN IT JUST TOOK OFF!!! I WISH I HAD THE ENERGY (AND THE ANKLES) TO GO TO EUGENE AND GAMH (ESS EFF)...BUT AGE HAS CAUGHT UP WITH ME AND I'LL JUST WAIT FOR THE NEXT PORTLAND SHOWS...SEEMS LIKE TOO LONG ALREADY!! ONTO MY HUBBY....HE HAD SO MUCH FUN!!! HIS LIFE HAS CHANGED SO MUCH FROM HIS AUTO ACCIDENT (HENCE THE QUADRIPLEGIA) BUT NIGHTS LIKE THIS HELP HIM 'COPE' IN MORE WAYS THAN ONE!!! HE REALIZES THIS IS AS CLOSE TO THE DEAD HE'LL GET....BUT ABSOLUTELY LOVED THE SHOW!!! HE LOVED THE 'INCENSE', TOO!!! THANKS TO ALL WHO HELPED US GET AROUND LAST NIGHT....JUST ONE MORE REASON I STILL LOVE HIPPIES AND THE LOVE AND LIGHT THEY ALL SPREAD!! HERE'S TO FUTURE D.S.O. SHOWS....AND ENJOYING THE RIDE!! PEACE, LOVE AND UNDERSTANDING!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
