Rick Springfield Rockin in MN!


11/07/08 & 11/8/08
Onamia, MN - Grand Casino Mille Lacs Event
Review & Picture by Jill Fahey

A two day in a row with Rick is always the best. The first night I had fellow co-worker who her and her husband have gone to a show before. We had pretty good seats the first night. I was happy I didn't go up to the stage. I wore my t-shirt that said "If found please return to Rick Springfield" and brought along the sign that said "Hey Grandpa Drake, Emma was born". With that and that the people in the front row were standing I had good view so I didn't have to raise my sign and obstruct the view of those behind me. I could sense alot of eye contact from Rick. After the second time of showing the sign, I had placed it back in my bag. A little time passed and Rick brought up to the crowd of the sign and I took it out and it got up on stage with him :)

The second night I stood up by the stage with Angie. Pretty good spot except it didn't work out to get many picture moments of DTTS. Rick was on the far (our left) of the stage and went to an elderly woman and her name and age was pretty close to Rick's mom. Than he mentioned someone was giving him finger motion for.."Come here". He was making comments and than said "kiss my ass and he pulled down his pants. He came over by Angie and I. Let Angie hold the microphone while he buttoned up his open fly and I took the moment to take a picture :) When Rick is out and about in the crowd I watched the fellas and they looked like they were enjoying to goof around. Roger banging and causing Rick to yell at him. Derek, Matt and George were doing something all by each other...who knows. Every Rick show that I go to has some sort of experience that I will never forget ...from the Rick experiences (my shirt, the sign and the hug) and to the people (the people that I have seen on the list and meeting for the first time. The people I am next to and finding out they live in my city. And to the one I met from my state and has the same name. I will never forget.
