Hey guys I tried calling again today and still no answer! But this morning I emailed them and he said most orders are a 2 day delivery! So I'm just going to place it and everybody just PRAY that we get it in time! I'm so excited and I know that Celine is going to LOVE it! Chelsey it was such a great idea!

Now the only thing I'm nervous about is I fly out that Saturday and I am staying at the Omni, and I was told to take a cab because the shuttles take forever. But apparently these are shipping in big boxes sooo I guess I'll just have to stuff it in the cab?! hahahah this is going to be such a sight...

January 8, 2009 at 09:25 PM

I was also thought about getting RC a b-day card cause his b-day is end of the month. what do you think.

Katelyn, my friends and I are staying at the Omni too!! We will be there Friday AND Saturday night, instead of just Saturday. I didn't even think about it when you offered to go ahead and order the frog, and you flying to Atlanta (sorry!) I have had so much going on, and I just didn't put 2 and 2 together. I would have been more than happy to order it, and have it sent to me since I am here in Georgia and you wouldn't have to worry about taking it on the plane with you. Sorry about that. However, IF you have not ordered it yet, let me know and I will order it. Kuddos to Chelsey for coming up with the idea. :yes: :clap:

OH, I want to get everybody's opinion on the banner material. Do you all want to use banner PAPER (which I have a huge roll) OR a blank vinyl banner? I can get some blank banners (vinyl) from the business across the street from where I work. I could get a 2 foot by 5 foot blank vinyl banner that we could decorate for the one to go to Celine's dressing room, and maybe use paper for the one we hold up when she arrives. I don't know , what do y'all think? They told me today that if I let them know on Monday, they could have whatever size I wanted by Wednesday. Also, for the banner that we want to go to Celine in her dressing room, be sure and bring a picture of yourself to put on the banner with your message!

I C A N ' T W A I T !!!!!!!!!!!! See you ALL S O O N !!!!!!!!!!! :whee: :kicking: :whee: :clap:

Oops, I meant to reply to this in my previous post. I have a little something for RC too. I have been looking for the perfect b'day card, but so far...nothing. I may just make one.....

January 9, 2009 at 01:20 AM

Katelyn, I really hope they dont charge you for an extra carry on for the frog.. maybe you can stuff it in his own little suitcase! lol ...

I am getting so pumped.. :whee: I'm going to go get some different color sharpies tomorrow.. Or should we do all black? :confused: whatch a think?

as soon as I get something written up to go with the frog - I'll post it on here. =)

I'm glad this little idea is growing! EVERYONE WHO WANTS TO BE INVOLVED, PLEASE POST SAYING SO

In all fairness, no one will sign the little froggie unless they help pay in some way! =) I wish that werent the case but space is limited and he wasn't cheap! :pinch:

... that way we can go ahead and break the finances down and see what we will owe the day of... BRING cash!

think of what you want to write on the little cutie.. so you dont feel stumped and pressured next saturday (THATS right, I said next saturday! woo hoo!)

about the whole getting RC a birthday card.. ive been contemplating the same thing. i'm going to the Miami show which is like 2 days b4 his birthday, I really wanted to put something together for him but he really doesnt need anything and i dont know what I would even say in the card.. except happy birthday! I DUNNO!

HEY GUYS! I don't have any new updates with the packages, except I did already order it Elisa so I'm hoping it will get here by Friday and then I can just stuff him in a suitcase! haha I'm sure it won't mind once it realizes it's going home with our girl Celine!!! hahah ok it's not real...but I mean who wouldn't want to be the frog?

I'm getting so excited the closer it gets here! I'll definitely notify you guys the day it arrives!

As far as a card for RC, I'm seeing Celine in Raleigh a few days later, so if I decide to get a card or something, I'll probably try to figure out a way to get it to her on that date.

Chelsey I will definitely start brainstorming on what I'm going to write on the little cutie! I'll try to gather what I can as far as supplies, but we'll have to see how my packing goes...haha picking an outfit for this kind of night is going to be difficult!

Okay well I hope you all have an amazing weekend, stay safe and stay exciteddddddd!!! :D

January 9, 2009 at 08:23 PM

Alright guys, well I have some bad news The lady called back today and we talked about the animal and she said that specific frog is on back-order until the end of January into early February! BUT I promise I will keep looking and if I find a reasonable frog with fast shipping I will let you guys know! She let me cancel my order so no worries about that.

We will find something!!! Don't worry!!! Chelsey it's a great idea and we'll go through with it somehow!

January 9, 2009 at 08:41 PM

OKAY, now I have GOOD news! I found the same frog but CHEAPER! It is on sale for 35 and I got 2 day shipping which made it out to 70 that way we know for sure it will be delivered on time! It still came out cheaper than the other one so I hope that is okay with everybody that I spent that much on shipping! I still emailed these people but I wanted to get the order in as fast as possible and again if things don't work out I'll just cancel it! But it said that they have 4 left, now 3 hopefully haha and that all in-stock items are sent out within 24 hours! So again, I'll keep you posted and just keep praying for good news with this! Hope you guys are all having a good day! Edited January 9, 2009 at 08:42 PM by kwright

January 9, 2009 at 08:52 PM

Oh GOOD that you found it cheaper! :clapping:

January 9, 2009 at 09:17 PM

KATELYN you rock my socks! THanks so much for working so hard on this! =) the little fella is on the way now probably! What a special froggy to be able to go home with Celine.

AND girl, i know all about that outfit deal! i have been stressing out about outfits for the shows for EVER! =)

let us know when the little booger arrives!

Tim, - thanks for the offer! Hopefully we'll all catch up with each other the day of, you can pm me your number if you want.

January 9, 2009 at 09:37 PM

YAY! I just got the email back from the company and they said it will ship Monday and will be here by Wednesday!!! I will let you know when the cutie arrives!!!

And I think I'm gunna try to start planning my outfit! Dah so much preparation! hahah

January 9, 2009 at 09:39 PM

Well I'm sooo glad you all like my Idea about the banner, and b-day card for RC. As for the banner I would go with the Vinyl, where you could put MY LOVE/ OUR LOVE.I think he would really like that . I saw that someone is staying at the ommi , can I ask how much a room is , and how are you getting there from the airport.I might do the same thing.

January 9, 2009 at 10:17 PM

i'm so excited for you guys!! this frog idea I think it's GREAT!

If I may I would like to share with you our frog experience...it's at the end of the song Celine takes the frog and gives him a kiss

In my opinion the best moment to throw it onstage is at the end of MHWGO, but you can also try during My Love and after TPOL when she's talking.

good luck for Mr Whispers :thumbsup:

:clap:

AWWW girl that video was great! how adorable! she really took the time to turn back around and show her appreciation! You would think that all the frogs she gets she would be getting tired of them by now.. but each one means something else! too cute! that really gets me excited.

I guess as a group we're going to have to decide if we want to try and give it to her personally or just get someone to sit it in her dressing room chair.

I like the dressing room idea that way if she does stop going into the arena we can tell her she has a suprise waiting on her in her dressing room. That would be adorable!

getting closer. clearly you can tell I'm pumped.

January 10, 2009 at 12:55 AM

Aw yea Chelsey I think that is a good idea to put it in her dressing room! That should get her mighty pumped and between the poster and the frog she will definitely know how excited everybody is for this concert and how much she is loved!

January 10, 2009 at 01:45 AM

It would be awesome if she said something at some point about it...

:dance:

January 10, 2009 at 02:17 AM

Hey everyone !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :kicking: E I G H T days to go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :whee:

Wow, you all are getting me even MORE excited (if that is possible!!!!!) :kicking:

Katelyn, I read your message that you had ordered the frog and I thought :clap: , then I read where it was back-ordered, and I though :cry: but then I read where you found it somewhere else, and cheaper and it will be there by Wednesday and I thought :yes: :kicking: :clap: !!! You ROCK Girl..THANK you for all your work on getting "Mr. Whispers"! I don't know if we have decided we ARE going to name him that, but I am going with it!! :yes: I think it would be great to have "Mr. Whispers" waiting on Celine in her dressing room with her banner. She will have her signed froggy, and the banner full of well wishes (and pictures too!)

I am thinking that I will get a 2 foot by 5 foot vinyl (blank) banner to go into Celine's dressing room. We can decorate it on Saturday. I am staying at the Omni hotel, and we can all gather there if you want. Remember to bring a picture of yourself to add to the banner with your message. I have all kind of supplies for the banners. Glue stick, glitter, different color markers, stickers, etc. I am going out tomorrow and will be on the search for anything else I can get for the banners. We can make the banner that we hold up outside as long as we want because the banner paper I have is on a HUGE ROLL!!!!

"nuts2you", you asked about the rate at the Omni Hotel, last week the web special was $199 a night. I have to work part of Friday, and probably won't be getting to the hotel until late Friday afternoon, or early evening. My friends who are flying in from Ohio will go straight from the airprot to the hotel instead of coming to my house first. Right now I am not sure whether I will be picking them up at the airport, or if I can schedule pick up for them. I am still checking into that.

Wishing you all a GREAT weekend, and I will be seeing you in E I G H T days!!!!!!! If any of you will be in Atlanta on Friday night, maybe we can meet up then too!!

Take care,

:bye1: for now....

Elisa :flowers:

Oh, and I agree 100% Kimberly, it WOULD be awesome if Celine said something at some point about it....... :kicking:

January 10, 2009 at 04:08 AM

hahahhahah Elisa that was so funny :lol:

That's basically how fast my mood changed in like only a few hours! It was crazy! hahah But it's all good now and I'm super excited!!!

And Kimberly that would be so cool if she said something...like...well ladies and gentleman...i walked into my dressing room before the show tonight...only to find a life size frog sitting in my chair...haha too cute!

January 10, 2009 at 04:21 AM

Yeah, and then we could all SCREAMMMMMM so she would know who it was from! :lol:

January 10, 2009 at 08:46 PM

AHHHH I JUST GOT CHILLS! lol.. i thought about that same thing kimbo. Gosh, i just hope we can find someone trusting to put it in there! I hope this doesnt turn into a difficult task! eesh. I would think she would say SOMETHING. how cool.. we'll know she loves it even if not!

Elisa.. I love all the banner stuff! I also have some black acrylic paint and a sponge brush that will make big thick letters. (i made alot of banners in highschool lol) so I will bring that.

and remember, sharpies might be the only thing to stay on Vinyl.. any other markers might bubble up.

HOW COOL would it be if the banner for outside was so big and we could find like long poles to hold it up and they could drive under it to get into the arena.. okay.. maybe a little too optimistic.. lol. I'm just thinking about if she doesnt stop.. (which will probably be the case since there will be so many of us, we must remember that)

January 10, 2009 at 09:52 PM

Yea and it doesnt seem like she is stopping too much anymore my guess is because of the weather, can't take any chances ya know. But Chelsey I don't think anything would be too big, haha I think we should make the banner as BIG as possible

January 10, 2009 at 09:57 PM

I love the ideas. But since I won't be able to meet up with you guys, I have a special treat planned for the forum. Since I already saw the show in Columbus, this time I'm going to record it on my digital phone and upload it to the forum. Hope it comes out good!

January 10, 2009 at 10:42 PM

OMG...then we'll all be on video!! LOL! :maniac: Time is going by fast!!!

Unless you meant record just the sound? :hmm:

Nope, video! I'm sitting in the balcony so we'll be getting a rare vantage point: THE WHOLE STAGE! SCREENS, STAGE, PLATFORMS, THE WHOLE THING! SO EXCITED! 5 DAYS!!!!!

Yeah, that sounds cool and all until they pull up under the sign and the 2 holding the sides gets so excited it falls with the poles on her car. :sofunny:

If we could put them into the ground, it would be more stable! Let's do that! :clap: I have no idea how hard that would be to do, though.. :hmm:

January 12, 2009 at 11:39 PM

How do you go about doing a video bootleg and enjoy the show at the same time?, Can anybody who's done this give me some advice?

I'm going to Atlanta this Saturday and want to capture the concert on my LG Dare. However, I still want to get up, dance around, etc. Any advice?

January 13, 2009 at 12:23 AM

It will be difficult to capture the video, if you're dancing around. Particularly video using a phone. And I know it will be hard NOT to dance. I ran into the same problem, but I would just try not to dance as long as I was videoing. You can still watch her as you video and enjoy the show and, of course, you can hear her singing. You won't be able to video the whole show, so choose your moments wisely. Good luck with that and have lots of fun at the show.

January 13, 2009 at 01:06 AM

Guys, after further consideration, I'm not going to be able to do a bootleg. Plenty of other people are probably going to do one anyway. I just get too excited around our Celine and would be moving around too much to get a good bootleg
