Astrodome 74 - Some pictures

[TotallyInsane]

I updated the pictures so you guys would know who's who and where they were taken. Hope you enjoy.

Thanks so much for updating the pictures with captions, Gail, it helps a lot! I thought that was probably you sitting on the stage and perhaps the darkhaired girl was Rosanne (she had told me she had dark hair), but I was wrong on that guess. Did you guys see any Vegas shows together or only the Astrodome? Great memories to read about and always great to see Vegas pictures which bring sweet memories back for me also. Those were the YEARS!!!

"Thank you very much. Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to the big, freaky International Hotel. Those little weirdo dolls on the walls. And those little funky angels on the ceiling. Uh, this is my first live appearance in 9 years. H-uhh! Thank you. I've appeared dead a few times, but this is my first live appearance. Before the evening is up, I will have made a complete and total fool of myself, and I hope you get a kick out of watching it." --EP

I'll tell you a funny story Carole. That girl on the end looks ALOT like I looked at that age. The 1st time we went to Vegas to see him I had my pic made there at the table(remember the photographers who came around and made pics?). My top looked IDENTICAL to the top she is wearing, but guess what I had on???? Remember........"Hot Pants"? Yep...I had on Hot Pants and knee-high white patent leather boots!! The 70's....weren't they great!!!!

This threat started for sharing pictures, but ended as a good story!
Meeting old friends after 30 years, how fantastic is that? It is WONDERFUL!!
I got to say congratulation!

Think about all the memories you have to share

He,he...yea...sometimes hijacking a thread can be a good thing.....wow, this is just fantastic....feel happy for both of you...must be like a dream come true

[utmom2008]

Just to give you guys an update real quick.........Gail and I only talked for 2 hours today. We are making plans for this spring....finding a neat place to stay, somewhere halfway for both of us. We have had soooo much catching up to do. We have been over high school boyfriends, college, husbands, kids, the loss of a parent and the loss of grandparents, etc.... Maybe we should write a book!!

[Diane]

That's a great plan Rosanne and Gail! I hope you have a great time getting together again.

One of my best friends and I have been talking about meeting somewhere halfway between our states as well. Since she's from Idaho and I'm in Michigan I think GRACELAND would be a fantastic meeting place since we are both Elvis fans.

Hello, Sammycakes ...
I must say I've enjoyed this thread too. It does make one smile and takes me back to the way things used to be...
and hope to see them again. Friends because of Elvis .

[utmom2008]

This is one of the most heartwarming threads I've read in a long time! So happy for you Rosanne and Gail. Now you can spend lots more years talking about Elvis and catching up on old news together!!!

Diane

Thanks Diane! Believe it or not...we are all ready looking at our calendars and The Peabody's calendar so that we can spend a weekend together in Memphis.
I can't wait!! What is so interesting is that after the night we re-connected on here we talked on the phone for 3 hours the next day...and it really was as though we had talked just last week. Gail is the type of person that if she is your friend, then she is really your friend forever!
