That lady was funny, telling that whole group of people to say "Cher" when she took their picture. Gotta love it! ;D
We had a good time. John, it was nice meeting you and it was great seeing the rest of you again. Denise, you are too funny with your Cher stories.
I didn't take many pics this time, but the others did. Kristi has some on the way, I know.

Now that I can log in again (thanks to Susan's Olympic-style straw grasping), I can add my "official" post: John, Kristi, Denise, Denise's mom (I can't remember her name, I'm sorry!): it was so good to meet you all! Kristi - I'm glad we got to spend more than 15 minutes together, too - you rock! And to my partner-in-crime, Gaby - we did it!!!!! ;D We were the first ones on line at Serendipity, and passed the time waiting for the restaurant to open by swapping Cher stories - ticket buying, concerts, pre- and post-concert activities; all great stories. The group behind us in line was from California and one of the women asked me if we were a fan club or something; I told her we were the "or something," just a bunch Cher fans all drawn together for an adventure in the city with a twist of Cher added. She later offered to take a couple of group shots of us, which was very sweet of her to do, and before she took each picture, she'd say, "Smile and say Cher!" which we did; after those shots, I changed the tag line to "Smile and say Las Vegas!" ;D When we finally got inside, we were seated right next to Cher's table. There were more laughs and story swapping during lunch, along with making sure everyone had everyone else's addresses, etc. When you make new friends, you have to make sure you can stay in touch! And the look on Denise's face as she swallowed that first bit of Frrozen Hot Chocolate!!! Tastes soooo good..... By the time we were done, it was almost 1:30, so we opted to skip seeing Lincoln Center and visited Ground Zero - it did my heart good to see the subway station opened there again (and being used); when I visited a month and a half ago, it wasn't re-opened yet. We did start heading further downtown after that, but sadly, it was time for Denise and her mom to head back to their hotel to get ready for a concert out on Long Island, so after saying good-bye (and watching Kristi take "paparazzi shots" of Denise walking up the street), John, Kristi, Gaby and I headed toward The Village, where we - well, at least Gaby and I  - picked up some nice souvenirs. I had to beat Kristi off with a stick - every time I found somthing cool, she'd grabe it out of my hands!! (Just kidding, Kristi!) Following the shopping spree, it was time to head back uptown to catch our respective trains, buses, and subways for home. I hope everyone enjoyed themselves as much as I did - maybe the day wasn't as all-encompassing as it could have been, but Gaby and I will leave that up to Jan for the fall get-together. The most important part, at least for me, was that I got to meet some more terrific Cher folk and got to spend a little more time getting to know and hang around with Kristi (never did get to see that dance of yours, girl!) and Gaby, too. Can't thank you enough, Gaby, for all your help and support with this, too - you're a terrific friend! Of course, we missed seeing everyone who'd planned to come but couldn't make it or who wanted to come but couldn't; I'm sure all of our paths will cross some day - hopefully it will be the same day! Here's to the next one! Debbie |

LOL, Kristi! Yeah, there's a bare space on my wall, too, and I have an idea for the perfect poster to fill the gap! Finishing that hot chocolate was never-ending - I don't think the level in the bowl went down at all, and we worked at it for over an hour! Thanks, too, for the compliment, it means a lot to me. Thanks to you, too, Gaby!
See you all in the fall!
Deb
