Inez (Katie) and Russ Are Going To See Trace!

ok my fellow "adkinettes" lets see if we can get the magic "pocket concert" bus on the road....battery has been charging all week so we should have enough power to get us to rockford, illinois....and join in the fun with russ and inez...be sure to pack your long johns ... or what ever all you "southern adkinettes" need to keep you warm...it is going to be just a little chilly tonite....kat...did you ever find a "long" extension cord????...we might need it tonite to keep all the "southerners" nice and warm.....so...check your bags to make sure all the "necessities" are in there....and keep an eye out for the "magic bus"...it will be heading your way soon.....be ready to jump on as we fly by......it is going to be one "big time" in illinois tonite!!!!

alright....lets see if this old bus will start....brrrrrr...it is mighty cold here....too bad inez and russ live in illinois....and not some place sunny...oh..well...come to think of it...there isn't any place that is warm..so..guess illinois is as good as florida....

ok....looks like we have a bus full....hey kat....we better do a head count...don't want to leave anyone behind.....they would be an ice sculpture by the time we got home..... ahhhhh...i think this ol' bus is finally starting to warm up.......good timing....cause it looks like kim and kathy have icicles hanging from their noses....which i might add....are a very pretty bright red..haha...you could lead the "magic bus" for us...just like rudolph....

whoa....good thing your aim was off kim...it's not nice to hit the "dream weaver" with a snowball!!!!!! you better be good...or "mr. genie" will get ya!!....huh....oh...what did you say kat...i was busy ducking....good...everyone is here...and ready to go...

ok...johnna..my goodness..what do you have on johnna...i thought last times outfits were the wildest i had seen.. guess i was wrong ... that is a very interesting outfit... haha...and i see that pat has one that looks just like yours..they look like snowsuits..with ...uh..just what is that you have wrapped a hundred times around your neck..sleeves and legs???..oh..teehee...its the "trace towel" ...that explains why i can see "parts" of trace..except the parts are not in the normal place parts should be...hahaha!!!..you are good!!...and love where his smile is located!!!...and is that one of his boots under your arms??...i think you and pat should get some kind of award for that "very orginal" outfit...ha..that is the perfect award ann..purple duct tape...that way they can make sure trace's parts stay where they are...wouldn't want any of them to slip to other areas on your "snowsuits"!!!

ok...lets get this show on the road..before these "southern adkinettes" start getting warmed up...everyone come on over here...so we can get this "pocket concert" going..... this is it guys ... you "newbies" can just follow along...it won't take you long to get the hang of this....sure hope you all are ready for the time of your life...this is the second best thing you will ever do....number one being seeing trace in concert...in person...as a big person... not a munchkin stuffed in a pocket!!!!

okie dokie...lets all join hands...and say the "magic" words..... ready? ....yoohoo...mr. genie...we're ready....pretty please.... "take us to trace...take us to trace...take us to trace...."...hang on...here we go........

ker-plunk....woossssh....whoa!!...everyone land in one piece???..boy....that was a bumpy ride...must be 'ol el nino is stirring up the air way up there...but..once again...mr. genie has delivered us to trace..."THANK YOU mr. genie!!!!"

alright gang.....lets see if we can get out of this pocket...not sure what inez has on...but this is one deep pocket......what do we have in our "bag" of goodies that we can use to get out of here.... wait a minute....think i can see some light way up there....oh...hi inez....we were just wondering how we were going to get out of this "huge" pocket...what do you have one girl??????...awwww.... what a friend...look... its a "trace" key chain....we can use it to climb up...just watch out for the keys...hey pat...why don't you and darlene go first...then you can help the "newbies" up and make sure they don't get lost....you know how fast you all are once you hit the floor...and wouldn't want one of them to get stepped on....

it sounds like a full house out there...ok everyone...one at a time....careful there tracey...don't step on shelly's head..that cast could be a dangerous weapon... we have to keep her and the other "newbies" in good shape...they are going to need all their "wits" about them to keep up with you all....there you go joan...all that moving must have built up those "pecs"...you almost picked christy up by her feet....you ok christy?...everything still in the right place?????...teehee... the girls get a little "wired" when it comes to these "pocket concerts"...hey pat...that is it down here ...no one left but me....whoa......weeeeeeee....golley..that was fun...it sure is nice to have you "boys" here with us tonite... thanks for the ride....teehee...a flying wheelchair!!!!!!

hi inez and stacy....boy..these seats aren't too bad...at least i don't see any women with big hair in front of you.... haha....look out guys...the "adkinettes" + 3 are on the loose....sure hope the "newbies" will be able to keep up.....that stage looks like it is 10ft off the ground...hope they can figure a way up there without killing someone.... those girls will never be the same after tonite ...i know they don't believe us...but...they'll see we're right...this ought to be a fun night...everyone is ready to go...and let loose ...need to get rid of those "winter blues"....

have you spotted russ yet???...hope the girls will be able to see him...did we miss the opening act???..wasn't it the kinleys???... good...at least we don't have to wait very long...ooops...i didn't speak soon enough...i can hear "big time" coming from behind the curtain...yep....the fun begins!!!

here you go inez...your song!!!!....go girl go....teehee...sure wish i could "wiggle" like that!!..isn't she good stacy??...haha...looks like you inherited her "dancing" genes...oh no...look off to the left side of the stage....looks like ann has a case of stage fright....poor girl... hope someone closes her mouth...before someone takes her picture...she looks scared to death!!!!...oh...good...its johnna and debbie to the rescue...haha...they are going to have to pick her up...her feet must be glued to the floor...oh my goodness ....the "boys" to the rescue again...ha...there she goes...up...and on rick's shoulder.....she does make a "cute" bag of potatoes ......looks like the other "newbies" are catching on real quick... shelly and angela and patricia have taken over the speaker at the right side of the stage...good choice...it is right by steve...he will enjoy the audience....but i can't see the rest of them...can you... ooops...i better wait till the song is over...don't think your paying attention to me....

ok...now..what was i going to say to you???...oh...i remember... do you see the rest of the "adkinettes" ?...huh??..what..your going to have to yell...trace is singing too loud...teehee...oh...ok..now i see them...well...part of them...i see kim and kathy...and elise... and who is...ok..its pat..and jeanne with darlene...they are on their way over to where steve's private audience is sitting...i think kat is in a hurry...she is flying across the stage too...right behind pat....wait a minute..now pat and her gang are following kat... something is definitely brewing...and i think kat is the leader of that "tracers pack"....not quite sure what that girl has up her sleeve ..but by the grin that is from ear to ear...it must be a good one....oh look...i think ann has gotten over her stage fright...and she looks like she just might have some fun....and this is the song to get it going...."dick and jane"...yep...she is having fun...

didn't know that danny was such a good dancer...is he related to you inez???...teehee...it looks like we are going to have a line dance demostration...ohhhhh....they are "good"...and they have company....haha...it looks like they have been practicing...they are a lot better than the last time they all danced together... didn't think it was possible to practice line dancing in cyberspace...guess we "adkinettes" + 3 are just so talented!....hey stacy...you better grab a hold of your mom...it looks like she wants to join the rest of the gang on stage!!!

haha...our line dancers are getting a standing ovation...at least i think that is what they are thinking...look at them all "bow"...what hams they are!!!...ohhhh..."lonely"...looks like the dancers are now going to serenade trace....they look so "cute" standing in front of the mic stand....and singing to trace....ahhhhhh....look out dee....phew...that was a close one...tracey just about got her in the stomach with her casted leg...not sure why she was trying to turn around... but she was twirling around pretty fast....we are going to have to get her a rubber cast...that way the cast will bounce off  who ever gets in her way....teehee...there they go again...line dancing to lonely???...oh...now i get it...it isn't a line dance they are getting ready to do....haha.... here comes the "winding"...done by 22 "adkinettes"  + 3....ohhhhhh...and don't they "wind" good!!!...good idea inez...we better get this picture ...so we have proof....haha....those pictures just might come in handy one day...

uhhhhh..trace...you might want to step back...and look out...you are about to get mobbed...yep...here they come...20 drooling "adkinettes"....climbing up that mic pole...oh no...guess i was wrong...its not the pole they are heading for...hummmmm... "thinking thing"...and no "adkinettes" climbing up his mic pole ...now this is very unusal...and alittle scarey...if they aren't going to climb up the pole...what are they going to do???..can you see what they are up to inez?...you have got to be kidding stacy.... they are climbing up the curtain??...why are they going up there??????...are they all up there??..everyone but danny and patrica ....and they are climbing up the microphone pole??????.....this is weird...it looks like danny and patricia are tying a piece of string to the top of the pole....where did the string come from??..oh no...i get it now...that is what johnna and dee were doing..tying their end of the string to the curtain..and darlene just threw the string down to danny...what is that tracy,  dana...jeanne and dee attaching to the curtain...it looks like a sign.....i can't make out what it says....it says what inez?????...hee-hee....yep...your right ...it does say..."24/7"....boy..do they look proud of themselves or what.....that is a good one...FLASH....another picture for our "trace album".....tee-hee....oh and how appropriate...they must have had steve's help in plannig this little "episode"...that was perfect timing...."if i fall...."...cause here they all come...sliding down the string....right on to his hat.......haha...i think he felt that one...one big ker-plunk on top of his head....look at his smile...you can't get much more crooked than that!!!!

haha...i know that steve was in on this one...another "preplanned" trick...just as trace starts to sing "girl in texas.."...who should come sliding down the rope...the last one left up there in "24/7" ....none other than our very own "texas girl"...kathy....and that is one "YEEHAW" we can hear from here!!!!....they are going to be impossible to live with after tonite....but by the looks on the "newbies" faces....everyone is having a ball!!!...ohhhhh...ohhhh ...this is my favorite song...."every light...."...ummmmm....just love this one....teehee....look at trace..his hat is all lite up.....and it is moving!!!!!..they all must have stayed in the brim of his hat... what a time to do a "wav"....good thing that they are moving in the same direction that he is....or his hat...and his "adkinettes" + 3 would be falling on the stage!!!!...ha...now that would be a sight to see...and would be another good picture...oh....look...here they all come....slidding down his back...that must tickle..wonder if trace is ticklish????..hard to tell if he "moving" because of the music...or the "adkinettes"...

inez...girl...what are you doing?....why are you jumping up and down?...need to use the ladies room????...what????...no...they aren't...i can't look...what if they get tangled.... your right...they wouldn't mind...it looks like kathy, kim, kat, elise and angela all decided to slide down trace's ponytail instead of his back....did they get the ponytail holder...yep...guess they did get it off...well ...almost all the way off...looks like it is stuck at the end of the ponytail....they were bound and determined to get his hair down....those girls are "bad"....and they are loving every minute of it...i can hear their giggles from here....there is rick waiting to catch them as they come slidding down.... wonder how much hair they stuffed in their pockets!!!!...poor trace...he doesn't know what hit him...teehee...think this will make them happy now....you did get a picture of trace and his hair didn't you inez....inez... stacy...i think she is in shock....he does look mighty "fine"... doesn't he!!!...ummm...ummmm good!

well...that was a good one...who would have thought that they would be crazy enough to do that.....we should have!!!...i see they are all gathering in front of trace...again...lets see...what else do they have in their "bag of tricks" tonite?..your right stacy....not sure if we want to know.....there is pat's song...."634-5789" ...looks like she is looking for a phone...poor pat...one of these days when that song is playing...she is going to get her call thru ....guess we are going to have to get pat her very own cell phone..i think we are about to find out what their final act will be.....this is a good song to end the show on...."took her to the moon..."...which he most definitly did...and does each time....he just keeps getting better and better....hey...have you seen russ, inez???...he should have wore a sign that said "russ...+3 adkinette" ....we wouldn't have missed him then.....oh look inez...i think this "act" is in your honor.....yep...it is!!!!!...her comes your "moon"....haha ...looks like russ is getting his own "moon" too .....there it is...."hi adkinettes" + 3....inez and russ....."....wow ...those hot pink panties can be seen from here....that is some bright pink....must be neon!!!!!....how could you miss 20... ooops...22....(sorry guys!!)...hot pink "bums" ...pointing in your direction!!!!!

well gang...guess we better round up the "adkinettes + 3"...and head for the "magic bus"...johnna and dee...get joan and the tracies and make sure the "zombies" don't get lost...they all have that "look"...hee-hee....yep...the one we all know so well...don't think they are able to walk on their own....oh..what a great idea elise...tie those "trace" towels around their waists...then you can pull them along...who would have thought we could come up with so many "useful" ways to use those towels...johnna...we are so glad that you thought of making a towel like that!!!...

hey inez...it was a great night....thanks for bringing us along.. .wish we could have run into russ...oh well...and stacy..it was really nice to meet...ah..inez...i think you have your very own "zombie" to get home...teehee...when she comes back down to earth...tell her how nice it was to finally meet her....need any help getting her to your car????...no...ok...thanks again for letting us use your pocket.... have a safe trip home...you lucky lady...you don't have far to drive....hee-hee....we have quite a ways to go to get everyone home...see ya later....ok guys....lets find the "magic bus" and head for home...everyone ready????....here we go!!!
