Johnna's Going To See Trace!

I think we are going to have to dress Johnna today and send her down to where she is going to see Trace ...if she has to wait much longer she is going to burst....not that we wouldn't all be feeling the same thing and if we all didn't love her like we do ... we might be a little jealous...( just a little...) so girl.. take a great big breath... and let it out very, very slowly over the next two days....just think though... if you went down there now...you might get a sneak preview...they have to set up and practice don't they....we are all excited with you and if you like your pockets feel a little heavy Fri. night don't worry it's just all of us ...we will be good.. we promise and you won't even know that we're there...of course we will all be wearing the newest in face jewelry...duck tape...so we won't loose control and start screaming....just don't faint and fall to the ground...we might fall out of your pocket and have to go running up to the stage and find some smelling salt... or a 6' 7" hunk of a man...and see if he can revive you...of course it would take us a while because we will be so small and he is so big...we would have to take lots of breaks while dragging him down the aisle...but we would get him there eventually...no fair fainting on purpose though...I could offer you my chair...so you won't fall...but that would take the fun away...you might want to fall...especially if it means being revived by......

feeling better yet Johnna...... Johnna...get your "TRACE CONCERT" list out and double check it ...READY?... 

1.  color hair...you don't want those bright lights reflecting off that one grey hair...it just might bounce off and hit Trace right smack in the eyes and blind him...

2.  camera...gotta get those pictures...be sure to keep it out so that in case you didn't do #1 you can get pictures early before he is blinded and can't finish the concert... see how important #1 is..

3.  film...camera won't do any good with out it!...but then again if you forget to do #1and #2 ...you won't need the film because you can't take pictures of a man who was blinded by the light bouncing off a grey hair on the lady in the 4th row...and couldn't go on...see why #1and #2 are...

4.  hard candy... gotta have something to fix that dry throat you know you will get as you scream and scream and scream..more Trace...more Trace...Trace I love you...Trace all the ladies in your folder LOVE you..better put  a big bag in your pocket just in case you did forget to do #1,#2,#3...cause those of us in you pocket will be screaming right thru the duck tape.."you should have colored that one grey hair!!!"...

Here it is Johnna...the last of the "TRACE CONCERT LIST"...( and yes...you all will be able to read this just fine sitting down..)....

1.  outfit...check it out one last time...make sure there are no wrinkles... check all seams...wouldn't want a weak seem to split just as you are getting ready to smile for that picture with Trace...

2.  Kleenex...can't forget these...sweaty palms are a big no-no... especially at the meet and greet...don't want any slip-slidin of the hands now do we......(no we don't ladies)...one more thing.... HAVE A GREAT GREAT TIME !!!!!!!!!...and don't to forget to empty your pockets when you get home....sleeping in a pocket with 20 Trace fans is impossible...especially if ......we just happen to kidnap Trace  on your way out of the meet and greet....

Well...the time has come...hope Johnna got it all together...now for us "pocket travelers"...Linda had a good point...remember the dial...and here are a few other things we might want to consider... to go with the dial...dowse (don't know if that is a word or not...meant to cover from head to toe..) ourselves with baby powder...no perfume...we don't want to have all of us pushing and shoving trying to get out of that pocket when we can't breathe because of a chemical reaction to all of our perfumes... ppppppuuuu... anyone got a mini fan...bring it...

now I know that this is a no-no but know one knows that we are there..so..if you have a mini recorder...get the drift...of course that will mean no talking, screaming or singing...cause we don't want to get OUR voices...we could probably need a flashlight..just in case you never know when we might need to see...and NO BOOTS...especially the pointed toe ones...ouch..major ouch!!!...hope that Johnna doesn't talk to us...if she doesn't faint and get hauled off they might take her away because they  think she  had too much Trace and has gone over the edge and  started talking to herself.....and last but most important....no food with beans in it at least 8 hrs. before the concert... only if some one would remove the elbow that is sticking in my ear...is the recorder on...turn the light on so we can see to turn the recorder on... ohhhh...it's "left something at home"...hurry turn it on...now shhh....ooohhhhhh...what a song...Johnna stop jumping around we are going to come flying out any minute...who's humming..can't hear what he is singing....it's "catch you if you fall"...how appropriate...he better catch us as we fall...ok..who is eating something...your making too much noise...all we will hear on our tape is munching....at least Kathy stayed away from the Mexican food...ohohohohoh ...it's "thinkin thing"...Linda stop dancing...Connie, girl is that you screamin in my ear...Kathy if you have to jump at least jump at the same time as Johnna does...

all right on the count of three we will all jump....and scream at the same time as Johnna...ready...1...2...3... goooooooo.... phew...that was a riot...glad we have that extra dial in here... listen...he is singing "dreamin out loud"...what voice...are you guys all getting goose bumps...he is sooooo great.....shhh ...this is the last song...now we get to go to the meet and greet...

Johnna get your hand out of here...your kleenex is in your other pocket....quiet girls...we are getting close...sure glad Johnna is fast...3rd in line..can you believe her luck....quit wiggling Kat... your sitting on Wendy's head...and she can't breathe...shhh... she's moving up...ohh...it's our turn next...Linda and Connie stop fighting over who gets to climb up on Kathy's shoulders to peek out of the hole in the side ...sure glad Johnna didn't sew that up...wish Johnna would stop figgiting..I'm getting dizzy...what is that she is hummming...that girl can't carry a tune....ok...she's stepping up...she' giggling... now she's shaking his hand...don't move...she's sliding in next to him...I can feel his arm going around her shoulder...he's leaning down to whisper something to her...shhh...he's asking her why her pocket is moving..she's giggling again...telling him that its nothing she's just shaking so much cause she's nervous...

ok..on the count of 2...everyone jump out, Linda.. we don't have time to fix our faces...Kat your hair looks just fine... Wendy..no time for any breath freshener.. Connie and Kathy you are not going to pee your pants.. Ready..1..2...go.....SURPRISE...TRACE WE ALL LOVE YOU!!!!!!..***FLASH***...what a PICTURE... Johnna,Trace, and ALL of us....whoa...he is laughing and shaking his head...now he is looking at all of us...melt, melt...he's giving us that wonderful crooked smile....shhh...listen..." you ladies are the best...I just love all you TRACER fans sooooo much...can't believe you did this for me...gosh you are so great!!!"...ooohh Johnna pass the kleenex before we get Trace all wet....

well...we did it...got Johnna there...and we made it thru the whole concert without any one finding us..and we came out all in one piece..well not counting the messed up hair..rumpled clothes..and baby powder lingering all over us....wasn't it just awesome...ok...now we can all take a potty stop...and will get something to eat before we head on home ...to our beds to do a lot of dreamin about our TRACE...

what a show...the best we have ever seen...sure am glad that Johnna took us all with her ( and that she had big pockets)...what a girl friend....lights are off...bellies are full...bladders are empty...bodies are all curled up and all Tracer fans are sound asleep...with great big crooked smiles on their makeup smudged faces...it was the night of all nights...sweet dreams ladies..... ;0)
