December 18, 2008 - Minneapolis, Minnesota (Target Center)

[j411celine]

Hello!!

 

I'm still planning on going to the Celine Concert on Dec. 18th. I was so disappointed that it was cancelled as well-I had a good room booked (without a pool of course because we didn't think we woud have time) that was non-refundable (cheaper price). Oh well. We still had a great time in downtown Minneapolis.

 

It was a good thing in a way because I purchased TeamCeline tickets that were in on the floor 11th row and I purchased better tickets-3rd row and I couldn't get a refund (in which I was giving them away) on them and now I can! He He!!

[celineangel7]

Welcome. I have kind of arranged 2 meeting spots for before the show

and possibly after if my ride shows up right away after. I now have my room mate coming

with and another bringing us home. Saves me cab fare. So far it's not too cold,

and I'm hoping it stays that way he he. I just want to be one of the first ones when she arrives

so I can make some kind of contact with her and hopfully get a pic WITH her.

 

Less than 3 weeks to go yeah!

[Kye]

What time are you going to try and meet her? I might be staying downtown a couple nights!

[celineangel7]

I want to be there 4:45-5:00. Read back a page or 2 I wrote down the meeting details a few times. I was a bit nervous reading that she showed up early for rehearsal in Anaheim. I know my room mate is going to think I'm nuts. If she doesn't want towait with me, maybe she can catch a later bus and meet me down there if she knows where to go? I just though of that now ha ha. That is what I had planned the first time.

Again it had to be on a Thursday when I get off at 2:30-3:00 and have to rush home, get changed and

get things together and take 2 busses. Then I have to find something quick to eat or I'll be starving until

maybe after I know for sure that Celine has already gone inside to rehearse. That would make me feel sick

not eating since I leave for work at noon.

 

Hurry up December 18th!

13 days! Please no snow so I can go! Edited December 6, 2008 at 03:46 AM by j411celine

[celineangel7]

j411celine, why no snow? Are you driving or flying?

 

IMPORTANT:

 

I must warn everyone that the bitter cold has arrived here and

I greatly suggest whether or not you are waiting for Celine

wear layers and cover as much skin as possible!!!

When the doors open an hour before showtime,

there are often long lines outside with people trying to crowd in the lobby as they arrive,

so get there before then if you can.

 

I actually went out and bought those hand warmers and want to find the body and toe warmers, but I'm saving my money for the stuff I may buy. I can NEVER keep my fingers, toes, and legs warm with feeling on their own!

Since Thursday we have reached up to -3 windchills mainly

at night, but still close during the day and very windy. I had 2 layers of everything and thermal and my legs went numb in 10 minutes! We have had our first measurable snowfall 1"-3'' 2 days in a row.

 

I'm very worried I may not be able to handle waiting long. I could always step inside the main doors to the Target Center to stay warm, but if I come out a few minutes later, then Celine might arrive

and I would want to see her that is why I'm going so early!

You can go in 4 hours before the event to go for will call, so I imagine

they would let you sit in the lobby or stand, but I'm not sure if they would make you stay?

 

You have a few places across the street to stay warm, but again you could miss her.

We may all have to huddle around to block out the cold. There's a Starbucks across the street

to get hot chocolate not sure how much it costs though. Coffee, pop, and alcohol constrict your veins and make you colder my doctor told me.

 

I can't wait! I had the best Celine dream ever last night.

I thought it was real for awhile.

 

I also was watching Youtube videos of Gordie Brown and he's not the same comedian we had last time here.

His song parodies are really funny! I love comedy and laughing will get me all warmed up.

 

Luckily I jsut checked the site for my local transit company, because their schedules are changing

again and one of them I have to take for Celine! I hope this won't give me less time to get ready.

[j411celine]

That is funny, you are alll ready for Celine!

 

I am probably not waiting for Celine-I'm going with people so I plan to just go to the concert. I want to get the Tour book as well. We are driving down for the concert (in which I hope the weather is good). I don't have willcall tickets so I don't have to wait in line unless you have to wait to get in. I've never been to the TC before.

 

Anyway, I can't wait I was mad that it was cancelled in Oct. Lets hope everything works out well this time!

 

Anway, thanks for the info!

Did you see that TM has $25 tickets for the upper levels? You can order from 1 to 50!

[j411celine]

Hi,

I saw the TM was selling seats for 25 bucks (nose bleed section) I bet they discounted them to sell all the tickets for the show. like 225 section Q and it is letter a-z really bad nose bleed section but they are cheap!

[lissie]

I am so excited, you guys!! I just feel so bad for Celine that she has to brave our weather to sing for us, lol. Poor thing, she'll freeze to death, not being used to these frickin sub-arctic temperatures, and all.

[Jacqui]

Lissie...I think I know you, or rather, used to know you, on another forum? Not a Celine one...lol.

[lissie]

Maybe!! How would I know you from? I'm into X-Files, House MD, and American Idol so maybe one of those?

[Allie]

Saula Heaven I bet? Or something in the Saula fandom a while ago, I know I talked to you about that, Jacqui. And Liss, I dunno if you were ever on Saula Heaven or anything but I would be that is how you guys know each other lol Edited December 10, 2008 at 02:10 AM by Allie

[j411celine]

9 days!!

Yeah. Although I never posted there. I think I know Lissie from the Msn Idol Judges Board...and probably some of the Paula forums too. I'm trying to pretend that part of my life never happened, but unfortunately it did LOL. Anyway I never knew you were a Celine fan, that's awesome!

[Allie]

I'm trying to pretend that part of my life never happened, but unfortunately it did LOL.

 

lol I know that feeling, I cringe when I think about my Saula Heaven days But that's kind of odd that you kind of know each other

[celineangel7]

Yeah j411celine, I've been ready for like 2 weeks before the October 30th original date!

 

I have my sign I'm going to make not the old one it's not that great, my glowsticks, homemade Celine necklaces, Paris earrings, and a ton of other girly things I'll be an all decked out Celine fanatic.

I will have to fix my hair after I take off my hat. I have everything picked out what I will wear and all that, but I will just have layers under and over lol! :mummy:

The Target Center is strict on stuff you bring in, so hide cameras well everyone. I always do.

 

I thought I would be as helpful as possible. Damn I have got to keep myself busy somehow.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I was mad they switched the date b.c. she was sick but I'm glad they switched it to Dec. 18-8 more days! YAHOO!!!Merry X-mas to us!!

[celineangel7]

Can people please post pics of themselves on here so I know who to look for if you are meeting outside or in the lobby. Thanks. I will be wearing a huge black and green winter coat outside.

[nuts2you]

I sure hope that this part of the leg of make up dates that she would able to fly in to. as in the weather being bad this time of year. But I do wondering where do u think she will be going after her shows.Back to LV. OR MONTEAL. What do u think she will do.

[j411celine]

Doesn't she stay at a hotel?

[celineangel7]

For the U.S. dates I'm hearing people say she flies between cities. Not sure if there are times she will be at

any hotels. You might want to ask somebody on here that knows her flight schedule.

I would not bother her at a hotel anyway if I can be at the venue before and after.

 

6 days! I can't believe she still has that dang cold! I hope that doesn't decrease my chances of meeting her.

She would likely be going super fast to sign if she does.

There are blizzards with 6''-10''of snow and storms going on all throughout the state north of here.

We're suppose to get freezing icy drizzle then snow not good for driving at all.

[j411celine]

3 days!

[celineangel7]

OMG it is so cold here! I'm grateful I don't live in any part of northern Minnesota where

public transportation has stopped and highways are closed for crying out loud!

They have so much snow and the winds and windchills are brutal up there and dangerous here, but Thursday is looking a little but better, but snow is expected now.

 

I tend to worry too much ahead of time, because of the luck we have had.

I pray to at least see Celine outside for a moment!

 

My room mate backed out because she doesn't want to deal with the cold, and I'm the freeze baby! I'm asking another friend if she wants to go, but if that doesn't work, then I'm getting a refund if it's not too late.

More money possibly for more stuff or to buy things I need for winter and lots of other clothing items.

 

My fellow volunteer staff just keeps hearing me say Celine this and Celine that going on about the show and her!

[j411celine]

Yeah where I live everything stopped because of the blizzard as well and everyone is plowing out.

So, you can get a refund before 3 pm et-today so it already expired but you can list your tickets on ticketmaster.

 

3 more days!

[celineangel7]

Hey where is everyone else that is going to this show at? Aly or any of the other ladies?

Come on people let's show a little excitement.

 

By the way j411celine, I contacted Ticketmaster and got all the info. Thanks for the info.

I just got word that a friend of mine wants to go. If she backs out I'm screwed.

 

I'm finishing my new sign and it's so awesome! It looks like it has studs

on it because I'm using dots of festive green glitter glue on the black lettering. It will be surrounded by other colors of glitter glue hearts all around the border. I should post it when I'm done.

 

I really hope I can handle the cold enough to see my idol.

Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr........... It's so cold out that the neighbor guy hasn't blown our snow away in 2 or 3 days and we are getting 1-3 almost every day. That's pretty sad and he gets paid to do it for a few others as well.

[j411celine]

2 more days!! I can't wait!!

 

Good luck-maybe you will get to see her before the show! I am going with people so I probably won't see you out there and we plan to use the skywalk. Anway, ttyl-but if I see you there I'll say hi (you said you will have signs and a green jacket right?)

 

I know what you mean about people screwing you over -I was suppose to go with 1 person in Oct and the backed out and I was stuck with TC tickets and I had to get seats all together so I had to get different tickets-but since it was cancelled I got money back. So, I sold a pair and I got a refund on a pair lol.

[j411celine]

1 day!!!!!

[celineangel7]

The weather I hope will not be as bad as Chicago! Weather says 2"-4" at night.

If she does the Christmas song I still want to hear PQTME too! Tomorrow!

 

Here is my sign and the glue I used:D
