| Poison Santa Clara and Reno 2003 |
| Vince Neil opened the show in Santa Clara |
| Hanging out with friends... |
| ...then came Poison! |
| After the show, I was invited to go backstage to meet Bret Michaels for the first time. |
| I had such a great time that I decided to go to the Poison show in Reno just a few days later, where Vince Neil was again the opener. |
| Little did I know that Bret and his crew would arrange for me to have an All Access pass... |
| ...which meant that I got to watch the concert from the stage! |
| I also got to meet Rikki Rockett... an awesome guy! |
| Getting to see John, a.k.a. "Smooth", the hunky head of security again wasn't so bad either. |
| And it goes without saying that it's always a pleasure to see Bret again. He's one of the coolest guys I've met. My friend Amanda (below) was thrilled to meet him, too. |
