Okay, I just got home this evening and have to tell you about my trip to Winstar. First, thanks for the birthday wishes, this trip to see Adam was my B-day gift to myself! Anyway, I drove up on Friday, it is about 5-1/2 hours from where I live. I got to my hotel about 5:30 so I just had time to change clothes, slap on a little makeup and paint my nails bright yellow. I wore black jeans and a bright yellow T-shirt, with my Adam Lambert dog tags and my skeleton key necklace. I really didn't even check to see where I was going just headed north to Oklahoma. When I got off of the highway there was a small casino and dumb ole me thought that was it.
Let me back up a bit and just say I had some new Nike running shoes, but they were white and I didn't want to wear them with my black jeans. So I had a pair of black shoes I bought several years ago and I had only worn them about 2 or 3 times, so I took those and wore them to the concert. Anyway, when I stopped at the smaller casino and went to get out of my car the ENTIRE sole of my left shoe fell off!!
I could have just died and naturally I had left my Nikes at the hotel. So there I was gimping along, with one shoe higher than the other. I went into the casino looked around and I was thinking what a dinky little place it was. Finally I asked at the Cashier's window where the concert was and he told me I was at the wrong place.

I get back in my car and finally find the right place and it was huge. The parking lot was full and I drove around a while looking for a space. Finally 2 women were leaving and I asked them where the main entrance was because there were several different entrances. I ended up about as close as I could have gotten to the front entrance. It was about 7:30 when I got there and there was long line waiting for the doors to open. Got in line and immediately started visiting with the other glamberts around me.
I went in and my seat was on the 3rd row, but off to the left. The stage was really wide, but these seats were way past the end of the stage. I talked to an older women and 2 younger women next to me. One of the younger girls was from San Diego and said she went to the same Junior High that Adam did! Also, all of them had been to the Fantasy Springs concert. I asked the girls how old they were and one was 19 and the other was only 16, but she looked like she was about 25. She had these yellow false eyelashes on that looked really cool. Adam ended up pointing her out from the stage and telling her he liked her makeup. Also, the trespassing tape that he had around his neck was what she had given him. I asked where she got it and she said at a Glambert party in India!!
The first 2 rows in front of me didn't have hardly any people in the seats, so as soon as the lights went down all of us on the end moved to the first row! Then I noticed the only barrier they had was short and you could go around the end, so I headed that way and everyone else did too. I ended up 1 person back from the stage directly in front of a speaker.
Then Adam came out in those red pants and I nearly DIED!!!! At first was was like this
and then like this
I loooove that video of him at Art 4 Life singing Crazy in those pants, with the girls dancing around him. They fit him like a glove too! Later a friend of mine asked if he had shoes on and I couldn't tell her, I never got past face to glambulge so I didn't know.
My B-day was Saturday, so I made a sign asking for a B-Day hug from Adam, but it didn't happen, Tommy saw the sign and grinned real big at me! Anyway, it was fantastic to see him up that close, his eyes are just incredible, not to mention the rest of him. [img src="

He came right in front of us, not 2 feet away, and grabbed his crotch, I thought me and the lady next to me were gonna faint, it was soooooo great.
Later he came back over to our side and got on his knees and laid back on the stage. [img src="

Anyway, we got to stand next to the stage for the entire show. Security never even asked us to go back to our seats. I tried to find LindaG and Juniemoon, but never did.
The lady next to me before the concert started was Ruth from Florida and she had been in London for the Queen shows and we talked about that. Another lady behind me had on flashing light bracelets and necklaces and she ended up putting one on my wrist and told me Happy B-Day. It was so much fun meeting other people who feel the same way I do about Adam.
The concert was over much to soon, but Adam said he would definitely be coming back to Thackerville and so will I. Adam sounded amazing and was having a lot of fun dancing and joking with the band. He also did a body roll right in front of me too!
When I finally left the casino as I was walking back to my car the sole of the right shoe came off, I took the fucking things off and left them in the parking lot!! [img src="

Got in the car and headed back to the hotel. I had been so excited that I forgot to check my gas gauge and when I looked down my gas light was on and it was sitting on empty. I was already back on the highway, in the dark, with narrow lanes and no shoulder to pull over on if I ran completely out of gas. Praying the whole way, I finally got to an exit, with a convenience store and was able to fill up.
Then I decided to go get me something to eat on my way back to the hotel. I just went through the drive-thru, but I had to ask the young man to repeat himself about 6 times, because I couldn't hear from standing in front of the speakers.
All in all it was a wonderful day and I met a lot of great people too! I keep thinking I couldn't love Adam anymore than I already do, but then I see him again in concert and it just grows that much more.
Now I need to go back and read what everyone else said about the concert! Sorry this was so long, just couldn't help myself. [/quote]
LULU we stood next to each other for this whole concert and didn't know it!!!!!!! I was right there flailing with you. What do you look like? PM me a picture. I remember the sign getting tossed on stage.
Therein causing an international publicity incident impinging on Sauli's career.
