That's me! Great reviews! Kristine, that is so awesome! I would love to just hang out on the bus and with the band. Sounds like a fantastic day!

That's what I say to myself all the time. It's still hard to wrap my head around it. I'm so grateful for his kindness and generosity- he really treats me as a true friend.

Wait a second...Bela passed away?! Where was this posted and when?

Besides that shocking news from your post Kristine--YOU LUCKY LUCKY PERSON!

There is a whole topic dedicated to Bela here. CB was the first to post about the sad news.

Oh WOW, I got sidetracked about Bela. I met Bela at the Poodle Hat signing and she seemed like an amazing mellow little gal, especially with all those strange people around. That's very sad news indeed. My condolences to Al, Suzanne and Nina.

Sort of takes the steam out of what I was going to post.

Anyway, if you'd like to see a most unusual series of 5 pictures from the show, click here:

I should run a contest for the best captions. Oh, and before anyone faints, here's the explanation. Just as Al was about to go into "Cell Phones", a nice lady handed him some sort of plush doll. He thanked her very sincerely, turned around and stuffed it down his pants, feet up. That explains the very odd object sticking out of his, errrr....

belt area.

LOL Oh, I know- I'm glad he finally pulled the doll out before Albuquerque. I did take a few pictures of it, though....

I don't think he knew what it looked like.

(from my myspace, click for bigger picture)

The table on the tour bus- brownies and chocolates

Old Fisherman's Wharf (not to be confused with the new one)

Jim & Ruben (Old Fisherman's Wharf)

I like taking pictures of people taking pictures, haha. So, now I have one of Jim.

I was trying to get myself in the shot- it sorta worked.

Boats, two seagulls, and a sea otter.

This one should be pretty self explanatory. I was actually alone at this point- both Ruben and Jim had stepped out for a moment.

We were supposed to be ponies (Ruben's idea). I think I look like a derranged squirrel lol.

Again, Ruben's idea. This one was to mimick my photo with Al from the OC Fair.

Al's early birthday present- a framed print of Lady Dancer.
