The spotlight was blinding her, so she didn't notice me holding them up. I laid them as far as I could reach, but was still about 6" from her toes. Well FML!!! So I took my phone (the stage was a good 5' high) and pushed the roses about another 6". They were right at her feet then, and she noticed them. But in the meantime!, she had been waving at some ginger boy that was standing next to me, which is partly why she didn't notice. Fkng gingers ruin everything!
But by the end of the show, she didn't collect any of the TWO rose bouquets(a lady gave her the other one) and left the stage. Chris's assistant was out there collecting her things, and the lady started bitching at her, that she wanted them back if Chris wasn't going to take them. Then I asked her if she could the them backstage and give them to Chris. She promised she would.
If course we'll never know... I'm still waiting for Chris to call me. I wrote my number on the back of the card. She has yet to call.. How rude!

Thanks for the mini review! Also thank you for the incredible gesture to Christine. I feel for you that you did not get your moment with her. I saw something exactly like this happen during her 1984 solo tour. There were a few single roses or tiny stuff animals some in the crowd gave her. During the end of Songbird someone threw their newly bought Christine McVie tour shirt on top of her piano. She picked it up and said thank you "just my size." As she took the center stage for bows, this guy appears in the far end of the stage with this huge white box filled with roses. She missed them completely. The crowd was frantic and trying to get her attention for this guy to have his moment. But sadly she left the stage. A roadie with head gear came out and grabbed the box and actually ran back stage. So I am fairly certain she got them. I am sure she got your roses too. Thank you so much!
I am saddened by the small turn out
