Note: If you have not read the entire story and would like to, click below on "older posts" and go back to part 1.

So as we were walking My mate Sarah F, Swaying Daisy & I,..decided to take a cab to the "Dock" where Paul was performing,...Oh my god!!! we were almost there going to see Paul in Liverpool woohoooo!! so the cabby took us behind the dock... as we were walking by people were saying HELLO~ I saw you on the telly christina! that was funny~ the line wasn't too bad as I was getting many a stare from my outfit!!~ after awhile a gentleman with a camera came up to us,, and said my I take your picture 'sure I said,..he was with the London Times..(christ Sarah couldn't find it & I even tried to mail the times with no answers)~ It was soo exciting to hear Paul doing his sound check!!~ and if you stepped on your tippiest of toes, you can see Paul on the huge screen,..

he was doing Volare ohhhh....lol...it was exciting...You could feel the magic in the air!!~ so they decided to open the gates and "let the fans in!" wooohooo I started to walk very briskly than I ran to get as close to the front as possible!!~ there we were standing in line & there had to be a guy there that stood about 7 feet in height maybe more..Sarah was getting tired so she sat on the ground an began to text message Paul our messages.. hell what did the messages say anyways?.. something

No mines no meet

Paul we love your feet.....lol harleyblues usa Sarah F.uk......

these messages were appearing on a giant screen above the stage. We were getting so very excited they had some great text messaging~ Fiona kept ringing Sarah which we were hoping that it was Paul!! and finally you here the intro that the gig was going to start,... the stage was pretty small & the pre-show started...it was great being so close to the stage!!~ not a little but

the 7 foot guy moved to the right abit where Sarah, Daisy & I could see.... than the silhouette of Paul ,...we were jumping up and down with excitement!!!~ it's Paul & he broke out in Hello Goodbye!!~I guess I caught his attention with my sign that said...

HELLO HELLO

PAUL

ITS A BEAUTIFUL NIGHT

HEART

CHRISTINA

USA

surrounded by hearts..they were reflective hearts. and as Paul was singing he was twisting his head to read the sigh to his right!!! nodding back & fourth, Sarah was jumping up & down Daisy too, saying Paul's reading your sign OMG OMG!!~ Sarah, ah Sarah pulling my arm"mate mate Paul is reading your sign" lol so were the other people around us.... he kept singing an looking our way it was grand!! Paul was sooo close we could practically touch him ....wooohoooo... he than began to talk after the song. don't ask me what I don't remember.

saying HELLLOO LIVERPOOOOL!!~ the crowd roared ...lol I thought I was at a football game the cheers were soo loud!! I think Paul noticed my MACCA hat..with all em silver glittery letters on them...as if HE HAD SEEN THAT HAT BEFORE, perhaps in the states or maybe the telly?

Crumb I don't know what else to write. except maybe bits & pieces I remember.I know it began to rain down hard for a few minutes... than stopped suddenly.. You could see people from across the Mersey...standing on their decks listening to the wonderful GIG!!!~ wooohooooo... I know at one point Paul said this song is dedicated .. and I screamed as loud as I COULD Me! wooohooo I'm a loud screamer... lol.. oh It was grand outside like that .. so much better than an indoor arena.. where security is so tight!!

so that is about it. unless Swaying Daisy provides me with some blurry details. I'm crrently trying to locate the setlist and Paul's face piccie when he came out singing "Hello Goodbye"

to be revised, wink!

part 7 the Macca experience

After a couple of hours, I left back to the Adelphi. I wanted to go. when I got there two people from the tour asked if I'd like head to the Cavern club - the band was having a party there so we went. There were lots of people hanging out ya know, no way in Sam hell you were getting into the Cavern.

We were waiting for some of the band to come out. The owner of the Cavern came out told us all "to go home" that Paul had left, lol man was he a smashed one? About 45 minutes later Geoff Baker comes out really lit!! ~

I went to take a picture of him, but Karen wanted a piccie with Geoff first, which I did she kept stepping on Geoff's toes he was wearing thongs multi colored believe it or not!! It was too funny!

Brian Ray came out, I approached Brian and said, Brian thanks for going on tour I'm from the states, he said thanks for coming told him I had just seen them in Sheffield & will be seeing them here in Liverpool, he shook my hand.... Than I asked Brian for a quick piccie together I managed to get 2 pics he then left...The pics didnt turn out well as they were blurry (note I just lost a whole page of this blog, that is maddening. errrr!!)

part 4 a Macca experience

We left & I spent a lotta money on Beatles stuff....Hey, I was in Liverpool what do you expect? Hehehe... I'm not sure what we did that night. Did we do anything? Hum...I dunno if we went to LIPA OR WAS THAT JOHN's ? NO..LOL.. I cant remember, Christ....well, we went somewhere......lol ...ahhh... we went to the Cavern pub to listen to a local band Mersey something that was pretty good actually, everyone was dancing an carrying on...lots of energy, I asked them to play...HERE THERE & EVERYWHERE, so they did,....the pub closed at 11pm...which was quite surprising...so it was that long walk back to the crummy Adelphi... heheheh

The next day, I believe swaying Daisy & myself
went walking around shopping for a bit that night was the concert @ Sheffield as we all were pretty excited not a lil but alot so we proceeded to get ready for the concert . I wore that infamous black MACCA hat & the rest of my garb...no ribbons in my hair this time just around my neck...when we were ready to split for Paul's gig we came walking out & the stares that I got from people some looked rather negative...oh my!! I cant HELP that I am creative...so we hoped onto the bus and started our way. Sam Leach Leach came with us

and told us a few stories, we then had a penny auction....some pretty cool stuff wouldn't you know it, I bid & won some damaged goods. I got 4 photos of Paul from New york...with flowers? a Beatle book from Canada, two promo piccies of Paul one was from pipes of peace, who knows about the other? A pretty big piccie of Paul with Wings ...Sam & Linda were in the photo too...I won a collectors set of RUN DEVIL RUN in 45's. I need that since I play 45's.....and some other things. I spent too much monies but that's a different story....so finally after all that driving we arrive @ Sheffield!!~ omg woohooooooo!!~
