Now that is priceless Arlene. You had to sneak out of the house without getting caught by your son to be "on the scene". Well, you pulled it off.
If he finds out and tries to ground you, I'm sure we can find someone in LA from the forum to get over there and set you free. Tell him to lighten up or you're going to run away. Arlene, you are just adorable and devoted. Too cute!

Thank you for all your wonderful comments. I have enjoyed them all immensely. :D It has been a lot of fun doing this. To help explain my determination, I would like to repeat a comment I left on Dr HGuy's blog yesterday.
http://1heckofaguy.com/2010/02/02/leona ... are-there/
I would like to dedicate this prestigious award to the “20 thousand angels” on the LC Forum, especially the brazen polka dot blouse throwers and Fred’s persistent mum for convincing me that determined, inappropriate behaviour does produce tremendous results...


And thank you Mollydog, for spotting the significance of the "20 thousand angels" that LC chose to say in his recitation of his Tower of Song acceptance speech.

How about "chutzpah/results" Tee-shirts for the upcoming concerts. :D We can use our own likenesses, so won't have to worry about infringing on LC copyrights etc.

We can have a mnkyface (polo type) logo, saying "20,000 Angels", a picture of you on the front*

Oy Vey. My 'meshugene' photo resurfaced... :shock: :shock:
You're full of creative ideas, Arlene!
Personally, I'd buy a t-shirt with Esther's smile of 20000 angels on it.

My meshugene photo on a t-shirt is..is.. public hazard...
But my photos with Rafael or Roscoe on Maarten's site can have on them: Flew 7500 miles to take this photo. Chutzpah produces results!".

Now people, go through your memory cards and provide us with a precious photo of Mary running with Fred.

Hey, dar, thank you and hold that thought about setting me free. I may need you to organize my rescue one day.

It was time to tell son Leonard, so I sent him the Special Grammy report by DR HGuy because Allan summarized it so nicely.
http://1heckofaguy.com/2010/02/02/leona ... are-there/
Son Leonard admonished me for all my Youtube postings:
When CBS goes after you and arrests you for copyright infringement, I will not bail you out of jail.

Excuse me, your nine year old daughter was discussing Gaga's songs at the Grammys and told ME, "I am sure her songs are all on Youtube". And she was correct. They are.

When I was surfing the Grammy website for this year's live schedule http://www.grammy.com/live, I saw an LC clip from the 2010 live streaming.

Screen shot of LC from the promo for the Special Merit Awards 2011 (right frame)

His 2010 acceptance speech, which I captured off the TV, is on youtube.
