DOLLY AT SANDIA CASINO MADE A RAINY AFTERNOON A BETTER DAY!!!

FOR DAYS I HAVE BEEN DOING NOTHING BUT TALKING ABOUT SEEING DOLLY. I TOLD THE PEOPLE AT WORK THAT THEY WOULD JUST HAVE TO GET USED TO IT, CAUSE I WAS NOT GOING TO SHUT UP. BECAUSE I WAS SO EXCITED! THEN I WON A MEET AND GREAT THAT I AND SO MANY OF MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS WERE PRAYING I WOULD WIN. THEN I DEFIENTLY COULDN'T CONTAIN MYSELF!! NOW PEOPLE AT WORK REALLY HAD TO HEAR ME GO ON AND ON, LOL!! THEN THE DAY OF THE SHOW ARRIVED AND I SPENT HOURS GETTING READY, I HAD RESERVATIONS FOR DINNER BEFORE THE SHOW WITH THE FRIENDS WHO WERE GOING WITH ME. WHEN I CAME OUT OF THE RESTRAUNT AROUND 6:30 IT WAS RAINING!!!!! I COULDNT BELIEVE IT. I RUSHED TO THE CASINO'S BOX OFFICE, LIKE MY EMAIL TOLD ME (I HAD TO BE THERE BEFORE SEVEN TO MEET WITH THE PERSON TO GET THE PASS). I RUSHED IN THE RAIN, GOT INSIDE, WENT TO THE BOX OFFICE WINDOW, SHOWED MY EMAIL AND TOLD HER THAT I WAS THERE TO MEET THE PERSON FOR THE MEET AND GREET WITH DOLLY! THE LADY SAID "OH YOU NEED TO GO BACK OUTSIDE" (SHE GAVE ME DISTINCT DIRECTIONS LIKE SHE KNEW WHAT SHE WAS TALKING ABOUT). SO I RUSHED OUTSIDE, AND IN THE DIRECTION SHE POINTED ME TO. WHEN I GOT THERE, THE SECRUITY FOR THE CASINO WAS PULLING PEOPLE OUT OFF THE STADIUM BECAUSE OF THE LIGHTNING AND WOULD NOT LET ME GO ANY FURTHER. SO I CALLED THE GUY IN THE EMAIL AND ASKED HIM WHAT TO DO. HE SAID THAT THEY WOULD BE DELAYED UNTIL SEVEN THIRTY AND TO COME BACK TO THE SOUTH GATE #D. SO I WAITED AND FINALLY A SECRUITY GUARD NOTICED THE TOUR LAMENENT AROUND MY NECK AND THE PAPER IN MY HAND AND ASKED IF I WAS THERE FOR THE MEET AND GREET. I EXCITEDELY SAID YES- HE SAID I NEEDED TO GO TO THE GATE NOW. I RAN RUNNING IN THE RAIN TO THE GATE #D AND THE STAFF SAID YES THIS WAS THE RIGHT GATE, BUT THAT I DIDNT HAVE THE RIGHT STICKER. I ASKED WHERE TO GET IT AND THEY SAID AT THE BOX OFFICE. I TOLD THEM WHAT THE LADY HAD SAID AND ASKED IF THEY COULD CALLTHE BOX OFFICE. THE CASINO STAFF WERE OF NO HELP! I ASKED AGAIN IF THEY COULD ASK ANOTHER FAN WHERE THEY HAD GOTTEN THEIR STICKER AND FINALLY I GOT TIRED OF THE RUN AROUND, AND DECIDED TO RUN BACK INTO THE CASINO, PUSHING MY WAY THRU THE THOUSANDS OF FANS, AND FINALLY GOT SOMEONE IN BOX OFFICE TO LOOK BEHIND THEM, FOR MY STICKER, I GOT IT, AND STARTED THE LONG JOURNEY BACK. I PUSHED MY WAY BACK THROUGH THE CROWD, RAN IN THE RAIN, BACK TO THE GATE, WHERE THEY FINALLY LET ME IN, RAN DOWN TO THE SECRUITY GUARD, TO FIND THAT IT JUST HAD ENDED!! I WAS DEVASTED!!! CRUSHED, SOAKING WET AND IN TEARS. IN MY ANGER AND FRUSTRATION I TOLD THE GUARD OFF AND WENT UP AND ASKED TO SEE THE CASINO MANAGER, WHO SAID SHE WOULD CALL DOLLLY'S GUY AND TO WAIT BACK BY THE GUARD. SHE RETURNED SHORTLY AFTER AND SAID THAT THEY WANTED MY INFO AND THAT THEY WOULD SEE WHAT THEY COULD DO. I TRIED TO WRITE MY INFO ON PAPER WITHOUT IT GETTING ALL WET. THE GUARD TRIED SO HARD TO BE HELPFUL. I TOOK A DEEP BREATHE AND REMEMBERED HOW FORTUNATE I ALREADY WAS! I APOLOGIZED TO THE GUARD FOR TAKING MY ANGER OUT ON HIM AND FOR WHAT I SAID. I WENT TO THE MERCHANDISE STAND AND BOUGHT A COUPLE OF DOLLY T-SHIRTS TO PUT ON, SINCE I WAS SOAKING WET. TOOK MY SEAT AND PRAYED TO GOD TO STOP THE RAIN, JUST LONG ENOUGH FOR DOLLY TO PERFORM AND IN AN HOUR THE RAN SLOWLY STARTED TO STOP! THEN OUT OF THE COLD DARK NIGHT CAME THE SONG CLEAR BLUE MORNING AND AT THE BACK OF THE STAGE, LIKE A GLOWING VISION CAME THE UNMISTAKABLE ONE AND ONLY DOLLY PARTON!!! SHE WAS INCREDIBLE!!! SHE GLOWED LIKE AN ANGEL. HER VOICE WAS IMPECABLE AND HER ATTITUDE POSITIVE AND UPLIFTING!! IT WAS AMAZING AFTER THE GLOOMY RAIN CAME A TRUE CELESTIAL BODY THAT GAVE LIGHT, WARMTH, AND A ENERGY THAT FILLED THE SOUTHWEST SKY!! I HAVE SEEN QUITE A FEW LEGENDS LIKE CHER, MADONNA, KISS, BETTE MIDLER, STEVIE NICKS, AND LADY GAGA AND NONE OF THEM COULD HOLD A LIGHT TO HER!! IT WAS THE BEST CONCERT I HAVE EVER HAD A CHANCE TO SEE, I WOULD PAY AGAIN AND AGAIN TO SEE HER PERFORM!! YOU CANT PUT A PRICE ON THAT KIND OF EXCELLANCE!!! AFTER ALL I WENT THRU, I STILL HAD THE BEST TIME OF MY LIFE AND IT LASTED LONG INTO THE NIGHT, HER ENERGY SEEMED TO CARRY ME THROUGH THE NIGHT! ALL DURING THE SHOW I WAS EITHER CRYING OR HAD TEARS IN MY EYES!! IM WRITING THIS LONG LETTER IN HOPES TO HELP OTHER FANS LIKE MYSELF AVOID THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH GETTING THEIR STICKER. ITS AN AMAZING THING WHAT DOLLY DOES FOR HER FANS AND I WOULDN'T WANT ANYONE ELSE TO MISS A CHANCE OF A LIFETIME!! CAUSE THERE WAS NO OTHER PERSON ALIVE THAT I WANTED TO MEET! NOT MADONNA NOT EVEN A PRESEDENT OR ROYAL MEMBER OF ANOTHER COUNTRY!! SHE WAS THE TOP OF THE LIST!! NO OTHER PERSON IN THE WORLD IS LIKE DOLLY AND NEVER WILL BE!! I DO BELIEVE THAT GOD WILL GIVE ME ANOTHER CHANCE IN THE FUTURE TO MEET HER!! I GOT THIS CLOSE DIDNT I ? WELL I HOPE THAT PEOPLE FLOCK TO SEE HER BREATHTAKING CONCERT AND BUY HER AWESOME NEW CD!! AND I DO HOPE AND PRAY THAT GOD KEEPS DOLLY SAFE AND SOUND THROUGHOUT HER JOURNEY IN THIS LIFE, BECAUSE I WILL ALWAYS LOVE HER!!!!!
