To say the trip to see Chris & the guys was a trip from hell would be an understatement. We started out early enough but wound up spending 5 hrs. bumper to bumper trying to get across the boarder and another 5 hrs. trying to get there. It was so hot in the van that we were all starting to not feel too good. It was real nasty but inch by inch we made our way across the border. Quote.."Only for Chris we say." We got to Carey about 8:30 p.m.,just almost in time for the meet and greet. We had about 1/2 an hr. to talk with and see our Chris friends and get a few pictures together. The meet and greet was great and he looked so handsome as usual. Hugs and signings were given to all of us even Jake, Shirley's dog who now by the way knows Chris as his new best friend got his meet and greet hug too. You say Chris's name now and Jake gets all excited and barks lol. Jake knows a good guy when he sees him...
) Dot, Chris's sister has become the official baby sitter for Jake at the concerts and it was love at first site there too. lol Jake seems to steal the show until Chris gets up there on stage then move over Jake the Bomb is taking over. Show time:What can I say Chris came on like the Bomb he is with Beer or Gasoline and the crowd went totally nuts. The place was packed wall to wall and standing room only and of course everyone wanted a piece of up front at the stage. Awesome crowd. Chris really has a lot of great fans. I got to hear Chris's first song then something not so nice happened to me and I missed the first part of the show. Right here I have to say Thank you to Dot, Caroline and Shirley for being there for me. Being the stubborn person and loving Chris the way I do nothing was going to keep me down for long. I got up dusted myself off and went right back to the concert. These guys put on a show to die for...no pun intended here and if you have a chance and have never seen the live in concert Chris and the boys go. I will promise you that he will get you hook line and sinker and this is a for sure. The energy and the voice just totally takes you over. He puts a spell on you I swear it. lmao For us old pro's who have seen him several times in action you all know what I am saying as we seem to keep on meeting again and again at Chris concerts. Chris did a few of his new songs like Tequila and Salt and Once You Go Cowboy whoo hooo already have...lol and I can't wait for his new C.D. to come out...awesome songs. No doubt about it he is "DA BOMB". When he did White Lightening Hit the Family Tree, the signs came up...no names mentioned to who got that one going..that read "Chris show us you Hinny". That was sooooo funny and I really did not think Chris was going to make it through the song as the grin on his face and on ours of course was so priceless. Talk about a show stopper that was so it. Still laughing at that one. I can honestly say 10 hrs in a hot van was all worth it and the Canadian group are headed his way for the last time ( in awhile this Friday in Ostego..this will be a sad day for us all. It was nice to see Dot again and all of our Chris friends..(Sweet) Caroline, Trich,Amy and Rob, (princess Ashley), Carrie and Kristy and get to know Sandy and a few new people that were added to Chris's clan. It was like a family reunion of all of our Chris friends with Chris thrown in as a bonus..whoo hoo what a bonus. This is the end of another Great Concert by our Favorite 6'4" cowboy and a grrrrrrreat time was had by all, even me in the end...........Love that Cowboy. Love and Hugs from Sharon aka The Chris Huggy Bear!!!!
