It was great to be with the Haley bunch, It was well worth going over budget to see her There are just some things that numbers cant measure UP TO. and that's the matters of the heart. Im ok with that.After all the opportunity may not come for a while to see her in Vegas. And I am still contemplating going to Chi town. That's a decision I have to make real soon----------------(thinking) When you see a chance, take it.

I just got back from my extended weekend in New York for my BFF's 3 day long 60th birthday celebration of my best friend for 52 years and read through the last 20 pages of this tread when I should be catching up with my clients that are breathing down my neck. Sorry I missed it in real time but my internet was very limited on the edge of Lake Ontario. I'll be able to watch all the videos tonight with wonderful anticipation! Thanks for the great stories from you semi-pro journalists!!
MNB... Chi town will be a quite different experience than Vegas. Informal relaxed playtime and gaming with Haley & family probably wearing shorts and a tanktop and seeing how her parent's band handles backup duties for a shorter outdoor show probably more like Lollapalooza was and likely some new surprises! Very different from the formal neon excitement of Vegas.
I'm thrilled with seeing the support Haley gets from her devoted fans - many of which are very intelligent and friendly "Dad Fans":

I want to thank my fellow Haliens in attendance at Haley’s Cosmo shows for making my first Haley experience so memorable. You were all extremely nice and welcoming and made a newbie feel very comfortable. I also won’t mention any names since I may leave somebody out but you know who you are. I’m really glad I met you all and I am even more disappointed that I can’t attend the Halien Party in Wheeling.

Haley is unbelievable, almost fictional being such the talent and star that she is and then extremely humble and accommodating to her fans. Haley takes the time to visit all of her fans, taking pictures with them and signing autographs and focusing sincerely on what each says to her. At that moment when you are one on one with Haley, her attention to you is so undivided to the point that no one else exists in the room but you and Haley. Haley always expresses sincere appreciation of what is said. It is really heartwarming. Haley is an amazingly special person. I will never forget my interactions with her.

As people have said, you have to hear Haley live to truly understand the greatness of her voice. Her voice fills the entire room and cuts right into your soul. As you’ve seen from the videos, her selection of music was outstanding especially loving the jazzy part of Haley’s music. She puts her all into each song and never lets down. Keith and Brandon were incredible and their playing meshed well with Haley. They got into and grooved with the music as much as Haley did.

You can tell how much of a Halien I am because I absolutely don’t like my picture taken even in family pictures, but I did with Haley, Keith, Brandon, Chiara and the other tremendous Haliens. Yes that is me next to yanni. Thank you again.

Both of these are great! I particularly love the stylistic changes she made on At Last.

WOW! Thanks to all of you extremely generous Haliens who refused to let what happened in Vegas stay in Vegas! It truly WAS the next best thing to being there. All the time and expense you went to in making this available is greatly appreciated. It was also fun seeing that y'all were not exactly suffering. Getting to hear and hang out with Haley had to be way beyond cool! I have a hunch none of you will soon forget the experience!

On a slightly different note, I came across a video that seems to say Haley and this new bass player, Brandon K. Brown are no strangers to each other. He was the bass player on Haley's Idol tour.
