Welcome to

Well, here we go! Off to an awesome start with an enthusiastic crowd who went on to see the first of 41 AWESOME shows. We did 3 backstage tours tonight. First group saw PCD soundchecking, 2nd group saw DK in the hallway, 3rd group saw DK soundchecking….the fans all loved it! Had to take the freight elevator to get to the backstage! Our party room a lovely room on the Lower Suite level behind the stage. Great catering staff, they took good care of us. The venue was excited to host opening night, and our ILAA gang was amped too. First time raffling off the grand prize….A MEET AND GREET WITH CHRISTINA! The couple who won had a great time. They met us after the PCD set and we took them backstage with all the VIPs! They got a great photo with Ms. A! It’s cool to be able to add this cherry onto the sundae J Next report from Dallas, bye!

All 4*s picked up.

All 5*s picked up.

We had our first Christina Ticketmaster Charity Auction winner tonight (Houston venue doesn’t use Ticketmaster so we started here in Dallas). The winners joined the ILAA experience plus they get a meet and greet. Christina is donating auction proceeds to the 1736 Family Crisis Center in LA, the Womens Center and Shelter of Greater Pittsburgh (both support the cause close to Christina’s heart…domestic violence victims and more, and the Recording Artists Coalition as well). It’s great ILAA can help contribute a bit towards Christina’s favorite charities.

Huge party tonight, so we split the backstage tours into 3 groups. All 3 tours went really well. They all saw the PCD and DK in the hallway!!!! Couldn’t have planned it better. That’s how it goes out here, we blow through backstage world, and whatever’s going on at that time, that’s what everyone gets to see! The party location was also down on the event level, sort of backstage, too. So really easy access to where all the action was.

See ya!

Whoo hoo….home town crowd for Christina and our guests didn’t let her down, going crazy from the rows way up front and of course those wild fans in the instage sections!

Party was held in the Grand Reserve Room….room is gorgeous!

Typical for LA with crazy traffic plus a bunch of construction going on around Staples Center for that new entertainment center coming (hopefully the next time ILAA does a tour we’ll be in one of those new venues!), so one of our helpers Ethan stayed at the meeting spot for pretty much the entire length of the party waiting on late arrivals. He was such a good sport! Well, LA is a pretty good place to people watch at least!

Everyone was accounted for by the time the show started, so another glitzy night underway with all those fabulous gals – Danity Kane, the Pussycat Dolls and of course ours truly Xtina!
