Let's keep our fingers crossed and pray to our lord that James is going to be the recipient of Best Male Country Vocal Performance award!

I was looking at the pics of James and I think the black and white one of him on stage at the grand ole opry is an awsome shot. Is it just me or does anyone else want to be able to comment on them? And when will we be able to actually have a buddy list and join the fan club for real? You OTTO know by now that I am addicted! =P

So my sister and I won front row tics. I took my best friend, Sissy, and we got to sit in the front row during the first half of the show.(Before the show started we wanted to smoke a cigg. We had asked a venue employee where we should go to smoke and she pointed to the other end of the building. So we go to the other side and find a door that led to an interior hallway. So we went down the hall to find a gym, exercise room and a locker room. Then a sweaty guy tells us we were in the wrong area and head back. We found the place we were suppose to be.

So the show started just after noon with Lawless taking the mainstage. I was so proud to see my friends up there. They rocked it out. And I was impressed with the new addition of their keyboard player, Todd. He has one arm and played like he had three. This man lets nothing hold him back.

Then Crystal Shawanda came out. I caught the last of her performance. I had been by the gates with some of my Lawless friends hugging necks and catching up. But, she sounded really good.

I got front row center! It was an awesome concert. James had a great reception from Springfield. And then I got first in line for the meet-n-greet.. And James remembered meeting me at the Columbus, Oh. show 2 years ago!! :)...I have no voice today, my hipp hurts, my neck hurts (from looking up), but it was all worth it. As soon as I can I will post the pics I got.
