•i already posted this on the official board•:wink:

I just watched her perform on the promenade in santa monica and she was SO wonderful. i was so so lucky and came upon it by chance, i had no idea she was performing there today and i was bummed because i couldn't get tickets to the roxy. i got in the FRONT row and i was touching the stage, at most i was watching her sing and play from about 7 feet away. since it was for victoria's secret promotion she said: "soo...after this, you're all going to go buy bras and panties...right?"
she has a very cute personality and is just so amazing to watch perform, im so grateful that i came upon it today, even though i had just gotten out of dance (another reason why i LOVE nessa) and looked disgusting. haha.

unforunately i had to leave and couldn't stay to watch the end and go to the VIP meet and greet (p.s. this was all free and they were just handing tickets and passes to random people standing around). when i left... i turned around to look at her one more time and she looked at me and i made a sad face ... i felt so bad that i was leaving and was so sad i couldn't just stand there and watch her perform forever.:cry:

was anybody else there? reply please!
xoxo

i was there, the meet and greet wasnt what i had expected, i thought that you could stay and have a conversation but they were out of time so you could just have her sign something and that was basically it, the rest was really good

i was there - were you next to me/us?
Let, Jess, Steve, JJ, Nicole and I were all the the very front stage right.
xoxo

meet and greet had some free pizza but it was very unorganized and rushed and vc didn't seem pleased - just as we weren't pleased with it...
they rushed her in and out - it was very power trippy
anywho the performance was great.

I am not orginally from here I was the original ATLANTA fan - but i have since moved out west and live in Sherman Oaks (shermie) i was on the right side of the stage if you are vanessa - the left side if you are in the audience.... I had on pink - had pink hair... and a big huge purple purse which was sitting on the stage part of the show... there are some pics of me in the last few pages of the pictures thread...
i will post one here in a minute

Great pictures Jess and Steph. Thanks for posting. Great seeing you all there: Nicole, John, Steph, Let, Jess, and Kevin.  I didn't see Manda but she wouldn't know me to come and say hi anyway. Hope she made it.

good to see the LA gang again... I wish I could have stayed for the meet & greet, but my kids got irritated with the bum rush and said fuck it.  But I'm glad I could see the show while working.

Yeah, it was cool. I was very surprised it was an actual show, minus, Morning Sting, The Wreckage, CLV, and Annie. (I will post the order later)I thought I drove all that way for maybe three songs so yeah...  I think I got some good pictures too. But I must sleep now for I work in a few hours.

Good to see everyone again, and Manda for the first time.  :)

It was a great show, I just wish my stupid camera could take a non-blurry shot for once!  Ugh.  I need to figure out how to get it to work properly, hunk-a-junk.  So please keep posting pictures, cause mine suck!

It was a really amazing show, she's so funny.

Gotta love what Vanessa talks about, when I got there their didn't seem to be many people around and I was standing with my friend DJ and I saw some people with this flyer that would let you go to the VIP thing after and I was looking for the lady who was handing them out and some lady pushed me towards another and while she was handing me the paper I saw Stephanie of course, I saw that wild pink hair! We said Hi and I had to go back like 4-5 rows of people, some really tall people were in front of me and I couldn't see that well but some guy had a cam corder and was recording the whole thing and I was watching the screen on that. haha. It was all good. ;)

Then I got in with Stephanie, Let, and Jessica, and Stephanie gave me a big hug, I was just thinking, "wow! they are so nice!"

You all made the show even better! :heart:

Can't wait to see you all Tomorrow, Tuesday. (or Most of you.)

I'll be there for sure.
