By the way I forgot to mention one of my favorite parts-- at the end of
"3121" he sang "It's going down y'all... like George Bush's approval
ratings!" hahaha
And a shout out to the NYC crew holdin down up front--Kelly, U7, Jessica,
Cherrymoon(?), Largeroom/Belinda (sorry if I forgot anyone); and a big shout
out and pound to Andy for keepin it light back where we were standing...
through Andy, Beyonce spoke to me :D (I was telling him how fly she looked
as she walked by and she stopped turned around looked at me and said "Hi!"
Of course I just looked at her in hypnotic disbelief LOL)
