We had the Hot Sound Package and it was great. There was 40 of us that got to go out for the sound check and it was awesome. We sat by one of the wings that came out. She came up on the stage for a few minutes and then came over and spoke to us as a group. It was awesome to have her only about 10 feet away. Very soft spoken and so graceful. Then she was off to warm up her voice. She sang a bout 6 or 7 songs, but maybe only 1 all the way throught. I guess we were out there about 35 or 40 minutes. Hard to remember, I was having such a good time did not even notice my time. We clapped after each song and she acknowledged us each time. After that we was off to the hospitality room where we ate from a gourmet buffet style supper. All we could eat and drink and then some really great deserts. They had a raffle for an autographed program, but we all got a program from the tour. Our special gift is being mailed to us. I heard it was a really nice embroidered carry on luggage bag.

 

This was our first Celine concert and we were not let down. We will for sure have to go see her again in the future. A real class act. When she left the stage she had to go down by the floor seats and she actually stopped for some pictures, hand shakes, hugs and autographs. The stage setup was also really awesome.

According to this source(see below) Céline was staying at the Houstonian Hotel, Club and Spa all week since January 5th I guess.

 

Home sweet home

 

With concerts in Dallas, San Antonio, Houston and New Orleans last week, Celine Dion took up residence at the Houstonian Hotel, Club & Spa with her husband, René Angelil, and their son, René Charles. No sense checking in and checking out of hotels all over the countryside when the Houstonian provided all the comforts of home.

 

One of those comforts was a massage chair that the Canadian songbird enjoyed so much she bought it.
