Funny thing was i was in the same spot for Anaheim night 1 and Richie gets up on the catwalk right in front of me and first words out of his mouth were "I need to pull up my pants" and pulls them up. Of course everyone in the Honda Center laughed and Jon seemed to wait for him to pull up his pants but unless you were down by me you had no idea what he said or said that to me directly. I managed that night to get amazing pictures of him smiling directly at me. I am so proud of those pictures. They turned out amazing.
Staples was fun just for the fact i enjoyed the whole catwalk experience better than Anaheim without the pushing and shoving going on. Plus i think i messed Richie up on the lyrics and that alone was really funny. Poor Tico he kept trying to get my attention but i kept looking at Richie and then finally at Jon. But seeing Jon do Hallelujah so close is just amazing. I am super glad that song is done on the catwalk.
Front row in front of the catwalk was just wow. I was glad i was there instead of regular front row. The main stage was set up much higher and the PIT alot lower then the catwalk. So in some ways front of the catwalk had the best view in my opinion. Plus the teleprompter below me when Jon would use it of course.
I'll never forget technically i can say i was front row at a Bon Jovi concert.
