New Years Eve, 2012

[Tusk]

I have new found respect for you videographers. Recording and deciding how close up or far out to record isn't easy. Tusk, I don't know how you recorded for 2 hours in Las Vegas. I feel you lose a little of the performance by concentrating on your camera or phone or whatever. It was surreal.

There is a little something you miss when you're recording, I really wished I could have been up there with you and Himm2 at Lolla, but those videos are now part of Haley's story (seeing as there was no plans to have 'professional' recording from her 'people'), so worth it, if not for the reason I have a terrible memory, and through the videos, will always remember my time at Lolla

That's why I really appreciated that Haley insist I enjoy the second night's performances in Vegas instead of filming. A true performer insisting her fan enjoy the performance rather than fumbling with a camera

^ Great photos Babbs...I did a breathalyzer test on them...You were definitely within the legal Halien limits. ...even though your head says otherwise.

I was sober when I filmed Wasted Tears at the Mall of America...afterwards it was all a blur. I couldn't remember the order of things and didn't even know she had shot me with her fake hand gun in the middle of the song...Miguel had to point it out. Too funny. Oh well, "it's all part of the wild ride" as Haley would say.

Same here, Buzz, I only saw three songs in Spokane, wasn't allowed to video, and STILL had trouble remembering what songs she performed and in which order. The girl is intoxicating

I only had a two song set and was all messed up...I can't imagine how scrambled 2012 was for you Tusk? Here's hoping for an all Halien get together in 2013...just to sort things out. (Himm's backyard?)

They were scrambled, for sure, but a very, very good kind of scrambled. A euphoria is more like it. The downside is the precipitous emotional fall from such heights. The withdrawals are not as bad now, but I find that only makes me even more impulsive for my next Haley experience....She really needs to help me out and do a show in the NW so we Norwesterners (MAE, cherelann and I) have an excuse to celebrate

I think the Himm2 backyard experience might be a fair possibility, he's got an expanse of lawn next to his 'stadium' enough for quite a gathering....the matter of neighbors is another thing though

Someone asked me later in the night what songs Haley had sung. She said I would know cause I was a big fan, and the only song I could think of was Spiderweb. I had to look on my camera to see what songs Haley had sung.

Your right Buzz, it was a blur.

Babbs you lucky duck!! I'm so happy you had a good time with Mr. Babbs. Mr. Nug isn't fully aware of my fandom, he knows but I don't think he really comprehends.

What a great way to start the New Year, Babbs!! I think your husband should look into Haley-Anons for support... Regular meetings for Haliens have been cancelled do to lack of attendance, as Haliens all over the world have declared that they do not want to be cured...

Congrats on seeing Haley last night!! Love your pictures

Babbs, that's awesome! What a great way to start your new year. Thanks for sharing your experience, sounds like a fun time. I told you there really is such a thing as a Haley High. Happy New Year to you and all of the Haliens!
