Thanks!
The camera I use is a Panasonic Lumix DMC FZ28 with
a built in 18 X zoom lens.
It has video also and comes in handy at concerts because
most venues dont let you take in SLR or pro grade cameras.

Here's my Strait Event..................................
Well, to start off with..... my Strait experience was not starting off so "grait". When I made my reservations at Days Inn, back in March, I asked "is this the one by Six Flags?" A non english speaking person said, "ya, we by Sick Flag" So, I made the reservation. Shoulda had a clue!
Just to confirm this WAS the one by Six Flags, on Friday night, I called to see. Because, after all, I wanted to be by my Strait Friends. Well guess what? This motel was not the one by "Sick Flag". It was on the other side of town, by the freaking airport! I just started boo hooing.
I had painted my car windows.....Strait Rules, Strait Bound, Twang Me, ect.... Hoping maybe my Strait Friends would see me, or maybe even get a shot on the news in all the traffic. Well......my motel was NOT in the traffic or anywhere near my friends. Boo Hoo
I had made this huge poster..........Twang Me George. It was in the back of my Jeep......We were in a cab on the way to the stadium. Boo Hoo
Our cabbie, Amos, was great. He took us almost to the door of the stadium. Even other people were asking us, "How did you get your cab to come up here? We had to walk forever" Hummm....things are going better.
Got in the building, phones not getting good reception inside. Couldn't reach Strait Friends. But as we were walking thru, we saw LeeAnn Womack's dressing room. That was cool!
Almost to our seats I saw Kathy Tomchek! Yay!!!!! One of my Strait friends. Such a nice person. I did get to finally talk to Karen Flook a few times, and Kathy W. a time or two. Both were the sweetest ever. Sorry, I did not get to meet the rest of the group.
I thought our seats were grait! Row 13 in section D. Come to find out, Reba's family was sitting right in front of me. In fact, my camera strap stayed in one lady's hair most of the night. oppppps.....Sorry 'bout that. It was her mother in law and more of her hubby's relatives. Reba was good. My hubby was thrilled.
Then came George..........OMG!! He is so beautiful. He smiled the whole time. He belted out the songs. The sound was kinda weird. It kinda sounded high pitched, like they had inhaled helium to start with. But it was so LOUD! It was awesome. Did I mention how georgeous George was? He looked wonderful. I can't believe I was there. I was grinning the whole time. I saw Tom Foote on the left side of the stage. LeeAnn was sitting there for a while. I saw Norma come on the stage. I don't think she stayed very long. If I'm right she had on a black tank top and jeans. I saw Bubba, but no Tamara. She said she was excited about going to see the Stadium. Don't know what happened there. Loved, loved, loved, the show. It ended way too soon. Seems like he was only on stage a few minutes. Could have been more like an hour, but way NOT long enough.
Talked to some of the girls, after the show and tried to meet up. But it just didn't work out. Went back to our motel, and wound down. Then slept like a rock!
Since I didn't get to meet any of the girls, I asked hubs if he'd take me by the airport. Maybe I'd at least get to see George's jet. We drove around and did see three jets. Two smaller ones and this huge big ole thing. Couldn't see the smaller ones because of this big @$$ old jet in front. OMG....OMG.....the big one had GS on it. It had freakin' N518GS on it. It was George's!!! The door was open! I turned to tell hubby, and there came this big ole gray, beautiful bus. OMG.... When it passed me it had GS Transport, Inc on the side! I could have touched that bus. I was so excited! I was so freakin close. Of course a security woman came running up and said she was gonna call the police if we didn't leave. We just looked at her and said...."we're just taking pictures". She barked "OK, but don't come any closer" OK.......OK......We were the only people out there.............She was acting like she was doing crowd control. It was just me and my hubby. Good grief, chill! The bus turned around out there, and pulled up next to the jet......out came Bubba. Out came Norma, in that black tank top. Then .......there was George. He was in a blue shirt, baggy, maybe wind pants, and flip flops, and a cap!!! I was closer to him there than I was at the concert!! I wanted so bad to yell at him and maybe get a wave. But I was afraid that grumpy old guard would bite me, so I just stood there, quietly, looking on. I started to get my Twang sign out, but I coludn't hold it and take pictures. So I didn't. But maybe George saw my windows on my Jeep. I nearly cried as the jet rolled down the tar mack for take off. And it did. It just took off. Headed south. So all in all........us being at the motel out by "that airport" didn't turn out so bad after all. I just wish I'd have been braver and yelled "hi" to George! Dang.....I hate being a chicken.
I'll go thru my pictures and see if any of them are any good, then I'll post them.
Me..........DonnaBe

I was on the aisle seat in C section down in the middle.
I had a black Fort Worth Outfitters shirt with a bucking bull on it. and a black hat.
As far as loading pics to Youtube. Did you mean videos?
I have a few reba pics off the screen but wasn't in the same
spot that I took the pics of George. I was moving back and forth
between two seats and visiting with friends.

Thanks Ranger. Again the videos and pics are GRAIT!! I put links to a couple of your YouTube videos in a couple different places, but I didn't embed them. This is a Grait board, and putting the links to the videos out there might help some people find it who haven't been here. I found this board through your YouTube, so others might too.
