    I joined this club almost a year ago.  I cannot believe what power this group of women have.  I am so happy that you won.  Give them a task and they will succeed.  You do need to post pictures of this great event.

    I am so happy, and proud of all of us, and of all my Facebook friends who voted and told their friends to vote.  What a sisterhood!

    Okay..... what a day!!!  Max is stunned.. overcome with sheer joy ... I cannot tell you how happy we are at this moment... he is texting, emailing like a crazy person... he will NOT be sleeping tonight...

    So, we are eating spagetti.. and we (my husband and I) decided to play the game "if you could meet anybody (dead or alive) who would it be......." So, I went first and said mine.. 1) Elvis and 2) Rod Stewart (I'm a huge fan)... then my husband went next and I don't even remember what his two were because I was so excited I wasn't listening.. and then we said Max .. who are your picks.. and I kid you not.. he says...

    Well, 1) Joe Perry and 2) Stephen Tyler... !!  So, I said .. you know what?  You ARE meeting them Wednesday night.... and he said "What??" with this Very confused look... like he couldn't comprehend what I just said (or he's wondering how his own mom be so cruel as to make a joke like that I don't know (lol)..... and I started to explain and he just stared and you could tell (as we explained about the contest and people voting, etc..) that it was clickin in that this was somehow Real.. and the tears welled up and he's rubbin his eyes.. and the chin quivered a little and....... well... I have never seen him happier..... he is totally shocked... and happy and... I don't know.. .... you know... during chemo... it killed me every day seeing his face when he came in from school..... he always came in the door at 3:25 and had this scared/worried look like every day he didn't know what he'd see when he walked in (some days I looked ok (wig, makeup, somewhat normal), some days I did not.. pretty scary)... I will never forget that scared/worried look when he came through the door with this backpack.... THIS... was a different look.. this look tonight... sheer happiness and joy.. this is the best day I have had in a Very very long time... life is good Smile

    We cannot WAIT for Wednesday... first we are invited to a VIP Pre show party (Joey Kramer will be there. the drummer)... food, drinks, contests for more prizes... then the meet & greet with Stephen and Joe (pictures, autographs)... then the CONCERT ... OMG.. we are so so excited... we can't stand it... (oh yeah... they also send him some exclusive Aerosmith gift bag.. stuff from the fan site store)... Ahhh!!

    This would simply NOT have happened without you guys!!!   Thank you so so much for making my son smile... he SMILED bigtime!!!!  He's still SMILING!!!! Laughing

    Oh, what a wonderful story!  Thanks so much for sharing how you told him!  (You know, I'm also really impressed with how much of "Dream On" he figured out on the guitar!!!)  I'm so happy for you all, and I feel, like Marybe said, like I won something too!

    Cry Hey girls...

    The Aerosmith concert was cancelled on Wednesday and did not happen.  All we know at this point is what has been posted on the venue website and fan website.. postponed due to "artist injury" ... they say a reschedule date will be announced.  We all hope that no one is seriously injured but they also postponed their concert in Hershey PA tomorrow... (?)

    As you can imagine, it was a huge disappointment...... instead of moping, the three of us got in the car and went to an amusement park (Kings Island) and rode roller coasters... we all have our fingers crossed that they can reschedule and Max will still get to meet them...... at some point.....  just wanted to let you know ....hope you all have a great fourth of July weekend!!!

    That's a serious bummer ...   I'm sure that they will reschedule (hopefully for sometime soon) and that they will honor the special night for MAX getting to meet his icons.   Glad you went to do something fun as a family...  Have a wonderful 4th of July weekend!!
