Since Yogi liked my JP pic so much, I thought I'd post a few of my favorites. Would love to see others' as well.

This one is my favorite for obvious reasons (Tampa - 2002, I think?) The 13 year old inside me was unconscious shortly afterward:

Image

Scranton July 2000. That's when I got JY and Tommy to sign the Kilroy jacket and JY was astonished that it was my first. Tommy actually took it with his new camera (he was such a gadget geek). Notice DDY's and JP's signatures from 1991. Chuck ended up signing it a year later. Without a doubt, my most treasured Styx item:

Image

March 2001: Tunica, MS. I was having someone take pictures with my camera, and I kept changing poses, like I was some kinda movie star or something (acting the bollocks, as my husband would call it), and a split second before this one was snapped, my friend Eve yelled out, "PHOTO WHORE!" and I lost it.

Image

The one and only shot I have of Tommy and me together. Well, that's not true. I have one from the year before at Glen's Xmas show, but it was majorly blurry. This one actually came out decent. Don't we look like brother and sister?

Image

And this one. Keith rocks. And my hair looked really good that day. lol

Image

Last but not least, I'm not actually in this one, but I took it, and it still makes me laugh:

Nice shots.
Looks like you are part of the in-crowd.
Were you a fan club VIP or something?

Not so much. Most of the time, it was just right place, right time. I have been a lot of shows over the past twelve years, and the majority of those shots were before 2003, when they were less reclusive. Good times. :)

This is of Me and Tommy at the signing for his bluegrass album. It was the night he played at the Opry. I was THEEEEE last person to get an autograph before they cut the line off. I have one of me and Dennis, but that is on my home computer.

Despite everything over the last billion years, I still love Tommy Shaw. This was a bucket list item for me to shake hands with Tommy. I was all nervous and shit. My wife used to work at the Opry before we met and she had back-stage access and I was able to see him practicing back stage before the show and everything. It was a real treat.

To have had face time with the two of the three faces of Styx is a dream come true really. My brother and sister introduced me to Styx by way of Renegade when I was 7 years old. So Tommy's is the first voice of Styx I knew.

good times.
