Meet and Greet Pictures...

Pics of Meet & Greet from Mohegan:
This displays some of my lovefest with Donnie. Our group consisted of a lot of 5* virgins so they really had no idea what to expect. We lined up and they all asked who we all wanted and it lined up perfectly - there were only 2 Donnie girls! As soon as I got him, I wasn't letting go...and I notice I always go to his right side. He kept whispering things so it made the time so much fun!

Meet & Greet Pics from Mansfield:
I had a very fiesty group who the majority were Donnie girls so I know my chance was limited. I figured that as long as I got my hug/kiss, and he signed my tag then I could share him. And if I can't have Donnie, I'd like Joe please. I chatted with Joe about the bookdrive and how I brought a lot of books tonight. He was so excited and appreciative!

Stacey was extremely happy with Mansfield because being on the end with Jon makes it feel as if it's just the two of them. Plus, it makes for a nicer cropped/zoomed picture of the two of them! Normally, we have to wait almost two weeks to have these pictures posted. But for some blessed reason, each group was posted the night of the show! Talk about being blessed!

Where's Waldo?

Here's a picture from the Launch Party taken by the promoters. Can you find myself & Stacey?? We're the ones looking around (and unfortunately not smiling in this one)... but if you find amazon women we're right next to them.



As Stacey pointed out to me, our heads are in a few other pics so here's the link to them: Mindless Photos

Photos: Manchester, NH

Here are a few of my favorite pictures from the show in Manchester, NH.

I originally took 385 but got it down to 228 (due to blurriness or just bad photos). Aren't you surprised/proud/shocked that rather than uploading them all, I actually deleted over 100 pictures!? I know I am.

I plan on adding more as I finish the recap - but these are just to tied you over...

Doesn't it figure...

So I was all set to scan my old pics from back in the day and post them here but alas, I broke my printer/scanner. I know it doesn't print, but it still reads my memory sticks, so maybe the scan function still works...I'll have to test it out.

Afterall, who doesn't want to see old Danny as I blinded him backstage or Donnie with his BIG HAIR at Danny's house or Joe during his solo days...

I know I do...

Once I attempt the scan, the pics will be uploaded here of course

Paris Pose Off...

Here are the guys during a recent Pose Off session in Paris. They really have been stepping up their game when it comes to Pose Off pictures while over in Europe. Hell - even Jon's off the ground!

Let's hope they continue they exhuberance when they come back to the States for the Spring leg.

Pictures for Mohegan Sun...

Here are a few pics from Saturday's show...somehow I managed to take 403 pictures! I have no idea how I managed this. The only thing I can think of is that I tried extra hard to take good/quality pictures because the fat-head man in front of us was ruining all of my intended shots.

These are in order of the show, not favorite. We all know that this whole post would be Donnie, Donnie, Donnie, Joe, Donnie, Donnie, Donnie, Group, Joe, Donnie, Donnie, Donnie, Donnie...well, you get the idea.

"Official" Pictures...

As I mentioned in a previous post, the "official" group pictures from our VIP moments posted on the sponsor's website left a lot to be desired in the quality department. Gee, my 19 month old son can take a better picture than what they have taken. Did that sound bitter as I didn't mean it to!? (heehee)

Anyway, I read on the messageboard that I frequent that there was a trick to getting a clearer picture without photoshop.

So I followed the steps...and let's see what happens.

You tell me - do you think the pictures are clearer than originally posted:

5* VIP Pictures...

Finally, the 5* VIP pictures have been posted for our shows. So while I'm very happy to have these as a momento of the evening, I have a few gripes.

For what the cost is per person, these pictures are horrible. The camera they use is a small digital point & shoot that is clearly a few years old. The quality of each picture has a lot to be desired for. While I understand they may not be able to hire professional photographers for each show, they could at least use a better camera. If you try to enlarge this picture, it becomes grainey & pixely.

And not only that - ILAA (the event sponsor) does not mail you out a copy of the photo. You have to save it from their website and that's all you get. So if you wanted a high quality 5x7 or even larger picture of your experience, I hope you're okay to have a shite-arse picture.

Edit time...

Hey Megan... don't hate on me if you see that I crop our CT group pic so I can try to get a somewhat decent Joey pic! And obviously it's not going to happen because of the damn quality...

My Donnie one from Boston is just as bad:
