Bon Jovi: Jon joins Sugarland on stage... *sigh*

So Sugarland had a show in NYC for AMEX and Jon showed up to sing MY FAVORITE BON JOVI SONG EVER (OMG this sentence is dripping with sarcasm).



Ok, does anyone know how many It's Alrights Jon does on average during WSYCGH? Cause it seems excessive too me. After the 3rd one it's no longer Alright, it's just annoying. I was making cut throat motions Friday night I think each cut throat motion I did that he clearly saw because I was like King Kong amongst the munchkins from the Wizard of Oz (bunch of short Bon Jovi fans in Gulf Shores) got an additional 10 or so 'It's Alright's'.

But "it's Alright" cause Richie clearly saw the Richie Show Us Moose sign and cracked up (but wouldn't look at us when we would hold it up there after).

Bon Jovi: More fun From Gulf Shores Part 3

Some more pictures I took:

We were all surprised when Jon out of the Blue proposed to Richie (during Bad Medicine).  We don't know what  Richie's answer was though.  I expect my invitation in the mail soon.  LOL

Richie gave Jon his answer just before SYDIM aka Lay Your Hands on Me.  Awww they're going to make the Sexless Marriage Legit In IA MA and NJ.  LOL

Bon Jovi: Richie Sambora: Richie's New Guitar!

Lots of Richie stuff today.  Don't think I don't take care of my Richie girls.  Thanks to Amit for pointing this out.  Thanks to Christi for pointing out during the show, that during Whole Lotta Leaving that Richie was playing a wireless guitar which he doesn't like to play, but here's the story on why, and a picture I took because even before Christi pointed it out I recognized that this was a new and special guitar.  The pictures of Richie below were taken by me, please credit me accordingly.  Thanks.

The state of Alabama are celebrating 2011 as the Year of Alabama Music and have commissioned the Gibson Custom Shop to craft a guitar in the shape of the state.

Bob Harrison, from the state’s marketing agency, explained that the idea is to use the guitar over the next year to bring attention to Alabama’s rich musical tradition.

“We want people to be aware of Alabama’s musical legacy from blues to country, Muscle Shoals, jazz and so on,” he said.

Television spots and print ads will feature musicians playing the Alabama guitar. Also, bands and artists playing in Alabama next year will be offered the opportunity to play the unique guitar at their concerts.

Bon Jovi - The Concerts for the Coast Happened, and I was there. Part 1

So this is my weekend Friday and Saturday.

Went to work Friday, left early, hitched a flight to Pensacola on Continental thanks to their Fantastic One Pass program that I hope doesn't go away due to the merger with United and their sucky Mileage Plus program. Arrived on one of those Flintstones jets where you actually go up stairs to get on the plane and then you self propel the plane with your feet. I thought I was going to die.
Met Stacy & her husband Mike (who is a Cowboy's fan but otherwise a very cool person) and Lauri. We end up cramming ourselves and our luggage into Stacy & Mike's car as they drove 14 hours from West Texas. Stopped along the way and bought some essentials. Then headed for Gulf Shores for Condo of Sin Gutter Girls weekend. We have rented this 3 bedroom condo right on the beach in Gulf Shores. I've never been to this part of the gulf coast its really nice. The waves are breaking right under the balcony.

We were all tired by the time we settled in for the night.

Friday morning we got up and planned to be at the venue around 1 because allegedly fan club could get the VIP tickets at 2 PM. We got there and couldn't find the Fan Club tent. Some nice guy who worked for the City of Gulf Shores escorted us to the tent. We got our wristbands and were told we could go into the venue & get in line with all the other VIP's and Fan Club peeps.

Bon Jovi: Free Concert Tickets Go Fast!!!

Well. Tickets were distributed locally for folks in the Gulf Shores area. But if you are a member of Backstage with Jon Bon Jovi you could get 2 free tickets & early access!

Yeah I got those too!

Here's some info, watch this and ask, Is anyone going to see Brad Paisley?

Hundreds of music fans lined up outside three ticket distribution centers to score free Bon Jovi and Brad Paisley concert tickets...many of them spent the night outside the ticket booths, waiting for them to open at 8am Saturday.




In Orange Beach, several people set up shop Friday night at 8pm...making sure they were able to get tickets. Others arrived an hour before the ticket booth opened. City officials say everyone in line was able to get free tickets and report no major problems during distribution.

Foley and Gulf Shores were also designated ticket distribution centers. City officials there also report a problem-free event.

Bon Jovi will perform a free concert at the main public beach in Gulf Shores October 15th. Brad Paisley's free concert will be held two days later at the same location. The artists agreed to hold the free venues in an effort to get visitors back to Pleasure Island. Both venues are expected to draw huge crowds...something Pleasure Island hasn't seen all summer because of the oil spill in the Gulf.
