11/14/2004: 3rd Street Promenade - Santa Monica, CA (review)

•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!

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

[divasteph]

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

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.

hey thats so crazy. are you saying "stage right" meaning you were on the left side of the actual stage or on the right side facing the stage? haha. becuase...technically then i was on stage left. so i dont know.. i was touching the stage it was so amazing.. ahhhh. where were you though? haha... i had just come from dance and i was wearing purple sweat pants and a white sweatshirt. do you live here??

[divasteph]

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...

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.

[Steveau]

Like Steph said I was there. I was behind Vanessa at the piano basically. But I was like the second row behind.

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.

[eclv]

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.
