Cher wore my hat!!! :-D

[Erik]

Hi everybody!

I just arrived from Glasgow and I'm really tired but I wanted to tell you something about my very first Cher concert.
At about 10 am I went to the arena, just to find out that I wasn't first: there were already two people there (REALLY nice).
A couple of minutes later one of the most die hard Cher fans I've ever talked to showed up. She had been to every one of the shows so far,
and were up for several more. She was extremely nice, helped us out with everything, bought one-time cameras and showed us how to hide them properly
Anyway, eight and a half hours later, we were still in front of the doors (but the queue had grown bigger) and when they FINALLY opened them,
me and my newly found friends walked really fast (read "ran") and managed to get up front, in the middle, two metres away from the stage!
Cher was awesome!! Very talkative and cool. I hadn't read about the changes in the set list before the show, so she really surprised us
with the medley and Love Hurts (which is one of my favourites).
And then when they started to play the intro to IICTBT, I was so nervous that I was shaking. Everything went excellent, though.
My had landed a couple of inches from Cher's feet. She looked at it, smiled, looked up, smiled, looked down, smiled, looked up and then reached down and grabbed it.
Try to guess how fast my heart was beating by then...
I had decorated my hat with a big black leather cross in the middle, small flashing lights in between each "arm" of the cross and gold stars
around the whole thing.
I just can't describe how I felt when she picked up my hat. I have never felt like that before.
I didn't manage to get my hat back, unfortunately, but that's not something I'm gonna cry about for months. What's important is that she
picked MY hat!!!!!!! ;D
The two hours of the concert were the best hours of my life, so far. And one hour after the concert ended, I turned 18. I'm a big boy now... ;-)

Puh! I'm done for now. Please excuse my English, I'm still so excited!

Congrats! That is cool! If you have any pictures let me know and Lisa or I will add them to the photo section for all to see!
She wore my hat in State College. I think it was the only one to make it up on stage. There was a little girl trying to get one up on stage, but it didn't make it after a few tries (I THINK Cher was kind of waiting to see if the little girl's made it) So Cher went and picked up mine. You are right, it was a really neat. I didn't get mine back either, but a really nice woman saw my post and said she had a picture of Cher wearing my hat and sent me a copy of the photo.

CONGRATULATIONS! Your English is GREAT! I'm SOOO happy for you. Cher didn't wear my hat when I made one and it got on stage, but just the thrill of her picking it up and throwing it off the stage was enough to get my heart beating like CRAZY. I'm SOOO happy for you... and happy birthday! What a day!

[Susanelizabeth28]

Yes! Happy Birthday! I got so caught up in the rest of the story I forgot to add that!

Thanks guys! You're such a nice bunch of people!

Here comes my favourite picture from the concert. The quality is very poor, but it's better than nothing.



The girl on the stage is CHER, and the thing on her head is MY hat!!!! ;D

Here's a pic of my hat (that Cher wore). Sorry guys, I just can't get enough of saying that.
The four little thingies are lights that were flashing in red and blue during the whole concert.

Cher wore my hat in Manchester!!!!!!! I've never screamed so much in my life the few seconds before she chos my hat!!! It was so funny!! My hat landed centre stage and another one with pink feathers landed right in front of me on the stage. So Cher walks over to the pink one and is looking at it, but me and my two friends were screaming to her "PICK THE OTHER ONE!! GET THAT ONE OVER THERE!! GET MY HAT, PLEASE!!!" and she was laughing so hard at us!! She was RIGHT in front of me, and she looked at this pink hat, looked at me, and said "well I don't know what the hell that one is anyway!" and then she walked right over and picked mine up!!!! YEA!!!!! I screamed so hard that Patti and Stacey were laughing at me!!
I didn't get back either, but I don't care. I agree with you - just the fact that she chose our hats from all the others is the main thing! (She also wore my friend Karen's hat in Dublin, and my friend Mark's in Belfast!!
