............oh giddiness!!.....
So I'm at this NYCGMC fundraiser/auction thingie and I'm bored as hell. Especially cuz everyone there is like 20 - 50 years older than me and none of them feel the need to talk to me. Also, I'm all under-dressed and refusing to check my coat with a backpack on. So I'm like totally bored, totally feeling ostracized, totally got my feet hurting (no place to sit).
But I stick it out. I get a beer and count all the glowy blue lights on the floor (there were in 11). I pace around and force conversation on an usher. Luckily, SonII saves me by inviting me to chat with him. Yay. It helped some.
So we both kinda chill for the next 2hourz, getting the evil eye from some peepz. But it's all worth it...
I didn't think she'd actually be there. I thought she'd cancel or something. But sure enough they announced her. Something about the song Rapture...appeared in Hairspray...first major singer at the event...blah blah...I got as close to the stage as I could. And then she came out...Debbie Harry!!!!! AHHHHHHH!!!!!
I was soooooooo star struck. I never thought I could feel like such a chick. I couldn't really move for a few minutes, I just couldn't believe she was there within spitting distance singing Rapture, sounding almost exactly as she sounds on the CD. She totally wasn't lip-syncing, and she totally sounded awesome. Every note she sang totally made my heart wanna stop. It was her!
She started calling people on stage, but I was way too shaky to do it. What if it's not really her and just some creepy impersonator? What if she hates the way I dance and disses me off the stage. I just couldn't get up there. But I was down there staring at her and trying to send her telepathic messages saying "I love you" "Please blow a kiss at me"
Finally SonII joined me up front as she was singing End to End so wonderfully, just as it sounds on the Curse of Blondie album. I sung along to show her I'm a true fan and I don't just listen to her old stuff like everyone else, although I forgot about the "ooooh oooh"'s in the song.
Then just when I thought she was gonna go, she started up Heart of Glass...And all the while, not just for this song, she was dancing her ass off on stage, sticking her ass out and tossing her hair. Just having a good time for us. I totally wanted to kiss her.
Once again, she asked people to come up and dance with her and all the same people went up. Only this time she said, "Come on, take off your jackets and get up here." And I swear she was talking to me. I'm convinced I'm the only that had a jacket on, and I think she was looking at me from the corner of her eye when she said that. SonII decided to head up there. Something told me, "KiD, you totally have to go up there, you may never get a chance like this again." ....So I DID!!!...
There were a bunch of people lined up in front with Blondie so SonII and I just hung back, but I couldn't take my eyes off her. Suddenly, she totally danced up to me and...PUT HER ARM AROUND ME!!!!!...AND LED ME TO THE FRONT OF THE STAGE TO DANCE WITH HER in a line with everyone else. I almost passed out!!! I put my arm around her too and we shook our booties. I nearly died....but just like that the song was over and she totally had to break out...
I could not believe any of it happened...I was thinking I had to go see her in person...but I was so scared. I didn't think they'd let me in "backstage." But I wanted to try. This guy came out and told me he just met her, so I thought, screw that I'm totally going in. But alas, I had waited too long, she was already heading out the door, all I could see was her ponytail as the door shut. I was a lil discouraged, but like a crazed maniac, I thought "NO! I can't let her get away." So I literally ran to the door and luckily it led into a hall that led to the actual door to the outside. I caught her just as she was going through the door. I yelled "Debrah! Debrah!" and she finally turned around and smiled. I said "I just had to shake to your hand, I'm such a big fan and I totally love you."
And she smiled, shook my hand, and said "Sure. Thanks for the dance," and left. My eyes almost rolled to the back of my head! I had to lean on the wall so as not to fall down..."Thanks for the dance..." I'll never forget those words...
GEE-ZUZ people! I lived a friggin dream yesterday! I became a total bitch, Debbie's bitch...OMGosh!!! And SonII thought it would be funny to tell me that Sarah McLachlan was under the table waiting to meet me, I actually believed him for a few seconds. I would've just died if I that were true. Like seriously, I would've just fell back with no warning and my soul would come out of me and freak out that Sarah was there and die right next to my body.
So that's my once in a lifetime experience. Unfortunately it totally trumps meeting Richard Bay. But unlikely meeting him, I don't have a picture to prove it. I'm hoping Amy finds someone that took a pic or got it on video, I'd pay them my entire paycheck for it. (just don't tell them I said that, cuz I really can't).
I'm now 1 step closer to being able to die happy. Thank you SonII and the NYCGMC.
