Rick Springfield
Potowotomi Bingo Casino
Milwaukee, WI
Rick put on a great show, as he always does. However, Sabrina and I were in the balcony, so we were a bit left out of the action, since Rick spent a great deal of time out of view out in the audience on the main floor. The venue was a great place to see a show, though.

Buddy Guy
Rialto Square Theatre
Joliet, IL
I have gained much appreciation for the blues. Buddy put on a great show that was filled with funk and soul. And, the Rialto is a great place for a show!!!

Bon Jovi
United Center
Chicago, IL
Opening Band: Goo Goo Dolls
Guess what?!? It was Mr. Bon Jovi's birthday (do I have a knack for seeing bands play when it's somebody's birthday, or what?!!?) An awesome show as always. Heather Locklear was in the audience, and created quite a stir when she made her entrance. The guys wheeled out a birthday cake with a Marilyn Monroe look-alike for the encore.

Rick Springfield
EFX Alive!
MGM Grand
Las Vegas, NV
The very last show for EFX in Vegas. A bittersweet goodbye, but knowing that Rick will be back on tour with us shortly! The strip was wild after the show...they had it closed down to vehicle traffic, and were only allowing drunks to navigate. We thought we had enough time to make it back to the Stratosphere by midnight to view the fireworks from our 18th floor room, but all attempts were in vain. So we watched them from in front of the Frontier. All was well, though, because I have never really been anywhere cool for New Year's!

Rick Springfield
The Pageant
St. Louis, MO
The most AWESOME Rick show to date! Sabrina and I both got up on stage for IGE this time, and the entire show was so much fun. The Pageant is a great venue...just wish it was closer to home!
Here I am for IGE...on the far right...
After IGE...don't we look happy :) ?
