Happy Birthday to ME!!!!!
|
|
As I indicated on my front page, this year I decided to spend my birthday week in Las Vegas. What better way than to celebrate with TMBMOTP, right? I saved my pennies, and got EFX tickets for every show that week!
I also decided to do some serious belt-tightening, and purchase one awesome birthday gift for myself: THE guitar! For those of you who may be unfamiliar, if one purchases one of the beautiful autographed guitars at the EFX Merchandise counter at the MGM Grand, the purchaser can go backstage to meet with Rick, and he will personalize the guitar. Pretty nifty, eh? For a long time, I didn't think I wanted to do that, but these guitars are really lovely, and quite a distinctive collectors' item. So one of the first things I did when I got to Vegas was choose the model I wanted (I chose a beautiful silver sparkle electric), and make my appointment to have it personalized - On October 2nd, my birthday!
So the big day arrives! After the show, I met Helga from the merchandise booth, who escorted me and a couple of friends backstage. Helga had offered to take pictures for me, as did my friend Nanette. They did GREAT, and I'll share the best of those pics here.
Before Rick came in, me and my "baby"
