Robin's Little BEVR
Just A Little tiny piece of my BEVR (but it is the best piece I can offer�enjoy) We all know by now how this works�you primp and prepare for hours�you drive to the �meeting place� as if you are practicing for the Indy 500 (you and Clay singing loudly all the way)�you meet the Broads (laugh, love, LIMBER-UP)�and then it happens�YOU ARE STANDING IN FRONT OF THE STAGE�WAITING WITH BAITED BREATH, FOR THE MAN YOU LOVE, TO CAPTIVATE YOU LIKE ONLY HE CAN DO! �.. Well�every now and then�a little Sump�n Sump�n happens, that makes the night SHINE unlike anything you could ever imagine. It happened to me�� As you may all know, I sat by myself, due to Mr. Robin surprising me with a late Valentines ticket. I really didn�t think I would mind, but once I had to walk away from Erin & Amber�I began to feel a little blue�AWWWWWW, poor baby! The anticipation was over whelming, but I wanted BROADS to share it with me. Fortunately, sitting in front of me AND 2 seats down, where gurls I had met at the CD release party. We hugged and giggled like long lost friends. This eased my sad little mind and I became ecstatic once again. Now�I had decided earlier in the week, that I was NOT going to read the Charlotte particulars�no downloads�no pictures�not even personal emails. It was HARD, but I wanted it all to be a SURPRISE! A full-fledged CLAY IN THE BOX, and� I was CRANKED�I just waited for Clay to POP! Erin however, said, �Robin, you HAVE to know this ONE THING! He comes in from the back of the arena, and enters through the crowd�.so be PREPARED!� Well, it was obvious which way he was coming�with the lights slightly dimmed, the security guards lined a row from the floor to the upper level, midway between the seats. Everyone around me was screaming�OVER THERE, HE�LL BE COMING IN OVER THERE! We all turned and waited. *Now�here is a little side bar�I was sitting on the floor. The 2 seats to the right of me were empty and a young gurl sat in the last seat. I had plenty of room to move around. Then�like angels descending from the heavens�the lights were turned off and spot lights began to glow through the arena. The crowd went INSANE! I leaned over and realized the gurl down from me was facing the stage. I shouted to her, �HONEY, honey�he�ll be coming in from back here�. We ended up with NO ROOM between us, because we were drawn to each other in exhilaration�wanting to feel the touch of another human being. I kept asking, �DO YOU SEE HIM?????� She could not respond. He was singing�OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHERE IS HE!!!!!!! Then, the security guard looked at us and says��HONEY, honey�he�ll be coming in from OVER HERE�!!!!!! And points down OUR AILSE! We stand at the end of the ailse and wait�. He is still singing, the crowd is still insane�BUT YOU CAN�T SEE HIM! For all that is holy in this world�WHERE IS HE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh dear God�I think he is THERE�RIGHT FREAKING THERE! My �buddy� tenses up so much I can feel her butt cheeks stiffen! I knew he was heading our way! I yell out, �Can you see him?��and she says��YES, HE IS COMING�! Then�I do it�Oh God, I am sooooo sorry! Please forgive me! I pull an Elaine from Seinfeld and as I am screaming, NO WAY, I knock the poor gurl over!!!!!!!!!!!!! �WHAT�.I SAID I WAS SORRY! She flies into the aisle and I help the security guard grab her. As I do�I SEE HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I grab my camera and click a picture of CLAY AIKEN WALKING TOWARDS ME! My buddy, is now upright, but she is shell shocked�was it ME who knocked her over�NO, I THINK NOT�it would have happened regardless�IT IS ALL CLAY AIKEN�S FAULT!! You see him coming towards you and you just go down! She (buddy) is in a daze�I think she blacked out while standing, the security guard looked at her as if she may faint.� I lean out into the aisle� HE PASSES ME! I TOUCH HIM! I am screaming�CLAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And MY HAND runs down HIS ARM! That is all���.bye! Oh�wait, there is more�. I stare at him in disbelief as he walks away and climbs the steps up to the stage! I stare at my hand! I am taken to some far off land, where the sky is the ground, and clouds are the road. My buddy looks at me and says, still shaking, �I CAN�T BELIEVE YOU TOUCHED HIM�. SHE can�t believe it! HA! I start to shake and she asks if I am ok�,�No, I think I may throw up�. I am still staring at my hand�Is he still singing? Where the he** am I? Then�I just start crying. I cry like a baby! I actually concern myself at this point�Gawd�maybe I DO need therapy!!!! Where is Erin and Amber�Broads�I need to tell you something�quick�over here!�but I stand alone!�crying!!!! Then I get over it and realize�I TOUCHED CLAY AIKEN! I AM A HAPPY BROAD! Within seconds, I understand�hey, I know that feeling�..I know what THAT is! The BIG O can happen anywhere! Even in front of 10,000 screaming women! After Clay mesmerizes us for what seems like hours�he leaves the stage�he is not the only one dripping in sweat! I run to my Broads, still shaking and tell them�Erin cries! I love her�she makes me feel NORMAL! When I get home, my adrenaline is rushing, my house is quiet�I call LB Lisa and tell her my story! I want to thank her for listening to the ramblings of an insane Broad! The next day at work, people come up and ask me if I enjoyed the concert�I swear�all I can do is smile! If I say anything�I might wake up! I TOUCHED HIM BROADS! AND I KNOW NOW, IT REALLLLLLLLLLY HAPPENED! LB Robin A proud groper of Clay Aiken since 2/25/04 blog comments powered by Disqus |
