The artists met the audience outside the auditorium after the show, and when I realized that we were standing right where they would be coming, I asked my mom and sister (who were super tired and ready to leave) if we could wait just five minutes to see if Jenny would come.
Emily caught a glimpse of her blue dress in the crowd and shouted, "Jenny Oaks Baker!!" I didn't have any CDs for her to sign, but I did get a picture.
I rue my bear-smile in this photo, but it was the only one I got, so I'm keeping it. I'll attribute the too-gummy smile to my dorky, unbridled excitement over meeting my favorite violinist.
Of course I said dorky fan things like "I've played some of your arrangements!!" and Mom exclaimed, "We have your albums!!" Jenny was sweet and accommodating, even though we had a hard time containing our enthusiasm.
So yeah, the concert was so worth it.

John can't stop laughing at how large he think Jenny's head looks. I'm laughing at his laughing. I think that both you and Jenny look beautiful!
Cute pic. I'm glad the concert was worth it! Personally, I was wishing I was home in loungewear.
I'm glad that we got the redeeming picture with Jenny to make up for the first half hour of Mr. O and his "SUP?!"
I'm pretty sure your post inspired me to make an effort to meet Mindy Gledhill! Thanks. :)
