just to write a few things now about my picture with Liza and of meeting the wonderful Liza May in person, because after this morning I will probably not be back online until next week..I travelled to Las Vegas to see Liza May on May 12th of last year..the hotel/casino theatre offered "meet and greet" tickets for this show..as far as I know none of the other shows I attended of Liza May offered a meet and greet option, otherwise I would have surely bought meet and greet tickets for every show if available..I must have ordered right as tickets went on sale because I got the first row as well..in fact so close I actually sat on the stage in these fold up seats they had set up on the left side of the stage and right side of the stage..after the show we were given lanyards and were walked to a room called "the green room"..we waited while lined up along the sides of the walls..the concert hall manager told us Liza would be in shortly, but that she was tired and we should keep our time short with her..basically they told us we should just have our picture taken with her and keep conversation at a minimum..Liza came in after about five minutes..everyone clapped and Liza took a seat in a director's chair at the front of the room..I had probably about thrity people in line in front of me..people were filing up to Liza and getting there picture with her..I had a flashback in my mind of times meeting Santa Claus when I was a kid and to me this seemed like that..when it was almost my turn, I realized I was extremely nervous..my heart was beating like crazy..I walked up to Liza and she recognized me from being at her shows..she said "oh look at you, you look great"..I asked her "you mean you recognize me?"..she said "of course"..I seemed to forget all about the picture and I just stood there wanting to talk with her awhile, even though I was very nervous and I felt quite tense..she said "co me in close" so that we could get a picture..I told her my name was Anthony..and to my complete surprise she said "I know"..how did Liza know my name already? well I'll tell you..I am friends with a woman named Betsey who knows Liza..Betsey is the woman I mentioned in previous posts that I had seen going at most of the Liza concerts I went to..I struck up a frienship with Betsey from seeing her at all of these shows and we exchanged phone numbers..me and Betsey have sometimes gotten together in the cities we have travelled to for dinner and a movie..well betsey knew I wanted to meet Liza at some point..so in a conversation between Betsey and Liza, Betsey told her, there is a man from Texas who has been travelling around to see you shows and if you ever meet him he is really nice and his name is Anthony..and so Liza remembered my name..Liza obviously knew who Betsey was talking about, i usually sit somehwere in the first few rows when I go to see Liza and s urely she would have know who I was after Betsey told her what I looked like..after she said she knew my name..I asked her "do you know because I'm friends with Betsey?"..and she said "uh-huh"..by this time I was being hurried along..to make room for the next fan..I am a bit dissapointed that I was not able to talk with her more..I wanted to talk with her quite a bit..well at least I did get to meet her..I am going to wrap this up..Love, Anthony..
