Night 2 in Lowell

My mom sold our balcony seats to buy me a floor ticket. Someone outside had given he another balcony ticket so she could get in too and sell her pair. Before the concert started I was standing up front with a couple people we know and security was making people go sit down at thier seats and I stayed up front with the people I knew.....the usher came and made the people move to thier right seats but he let me stay with a couple other people who did have front row seats....I told him I would go back to my seat but he told me to stay and to go to the stage when the concert starts because I wouldnt be in anyones way.....I think he didnt want me to get runned over in the rush....he didnt know I am good at it already...LOL...as soon as the lights went off we went to the stage....I got my favorite spot in front of Philip....my mom was a couple people away from me but not at the stage.....I had my ticker tape again and I put it to say my name and Melissa and Philip immediatly spotted me.....I put up my moms song request for awhile....she has wanted to hear "When You Find the One" ...I had requested it last night too but Melissa didnt play it......when she was going to play "I Need To Wake Up" I put CORN on my ticker tape and Philip laughed...he showed Mark and Mark didnt understand so Philip told him it was about the Bio-diesel...when Melissa saw it she looked confused and then she realized what it meant and laughed and smiled at me.....right before the piano song Melissa took my ticker tape away from me and was trying to figure out how it worked....she said I must be one of those tech geek kids and gave it back....LOL....after the piano song she said that they were going to play 2 acoustic songs instead of one because I had been requesting a song for 2 nights in a row so she was going to play it for me!!!! everyone was patting me and telling me she was going to play my song for me!!.....my mom says I messed up her song spreadsheet because she hasnt done 2 acoustic songs in a row before now BONUS ...I put "Thank You" on my ticker and Melissa nodded to me to say your welcome......when she started playing "If You Want To" I grabbed my phone and held it up....the lady beside me held up her shoe?? Melissa tried a couple other peoples phones but didnt reach anyone....then she took the ladys shoe..."can you hear me now?"....the she saw my phone and asked me "who would I be calling?" and I screamed out "my mother" she looked confused and shocked and then I screamed out "my other mother" and everyone was pointing to my mom that was with me...Melissa laughed and then understood so she took my phone...I had already hit dial so when she listened it was ringing....all the sudden she asked whats her name so I hollered "Sarah" at the same time that Sarah answered the phone....so Melissa looked surprised and said "Sarah?!!"...she was excited to have someone finally answer a phone.....she told Sarah that she was there with me and "Tigger" my mom....and asked her why she wasnt there too....(sarah told us later she asked melissa why SHE wasnt there) and we heard melissa say "I dont think we would all fit" she asked sarah where she was and she told her Orlando so melissa asked her if she was going to come to the concert in Orlando and she said yes so melissa told her to make a big sign that said "I am Sarah from Orlando" so she would know she was there....then she started singing to Sarah over the phone but when she got to the part about "in my bed" she looked at me and motioned for me to cover my ears....LOL....when she was done she gave me back my phone and I told her Thank You again....she smiled.....the crowd was really really loud they liked that she called a kids mom from a concert.....later after she played "Piece of My Heart" she walked over to the center of the stage and then looked over at me and changed direction and walked right straight to me and put her pick in my hand!!! I held on to her finger for a minute till she pulled it away....I was sooooooo excited!!!!! *squeal*.......near the end of the concert I put the message that said "8 down 1 to go"....tonights the last concert before we head back to Florida.....I am hoping my mom takes me to some of the concerts there but I will have to wait and see......after I went to our room my mom went back downstairs to talk to some friends and when she came back to the room she handed me a guitar pick with Philips name spelled right!!! she said that a lady she knew gave it to her to give to me!!....now I have a complete set.....I have 2 picks from Philip (spelled wrong), a Fritz drumstick (THANK YOU BITEY!!), a Melissa Pick *screams*, and a new Philip pick spelled right.....my mom says we are going to take all my tickets and the picks and stick and make me a shadowbox to hang in my room!!.....everyone has been so nice to me that I have met.....there was even a couple people who came up to me after the concert and told me they have been reading my blogs *I have a following!!* my mom says a following is good/stalkers bad....so, ummmmm, hi to all of you!!....LOL....and THANK YOU to everyone I have been meeting and making this a summer I will never forget......
