Where to start, where to start....This weekend was so amazing, I can still feel the magic of Barry in my heart (sing that sentence to the tune of Copa Cabana). Here is a re-cap of the first annual Barry-palooza!
This is us getting our jazz hands ready for the big night!
This is us jumping for joy as our happiness could not be contained!Us Fanilows decided to walk to the concert, but when walking to a Barry concert, you can't just walk, you have to DANCE!
We made it safely to the Hilton to watch the concert. This was quite the feat as we were walking through Las Vegas wearing Fanilow shirts and dancing. Jon clapped his hands and screamed like a little girl when he saw the 150 foot Barry that we are all pointing to.
We found an ALL Manilow store. Derrick cried it was so beautiful. But those tears were nothing compared to the tears we all shed once the concert happened and we realized we were in the presence of greatness. Barry brought it home! He sang all the good songs, and we sang along. Besides the fact that we were BY FAR the youngest people there, it was pure MUSIC AND PASSION!

At this point, Jon, Dave and Derrick were singing along, holding up their lighters, and swaying to the music. Mel, Carolyn and Marcole were writing their phone numbers on their shirts so Barry would know how to call them, and I was on the floor convulsing from all the magic. What a wonderful night!

I am now a little sad and jealous. I vow to be there next year. Hilarious pictures. Did Nate take them or are we not supposed to mention that he was there to protect his "MANinity" :) Did I already mention that Melanee is a genius and that those t-shirts should be sold online right away.
"MANity"...good one! Brett took the pictures as he laughed and then pretended not to know us. The shirts are awesome! They are better than any of the shirts that were being sold at the Manilow store. Mel could make a butt-load of money.
I'm dying. So funny.
Did you know Neil is putting out a new album? I'm almost to the point of peeing myself with anticipation.
You guys are the coolest Manillow fans EVER! Remember that you need to name your next daughter Lola. It looks like you had a great trip and so much fun.....love the t-shirts.
You did not just make up the word 'crotch-ilow'. Your whole blog was pure genius and I am that much more whole as a person thanks to you. I am so glad it was everything and more you'd dreamed it would be. I remember you telling me about this night a few months ago. I'm glad it finally came. I really don't even know any Manilow music, but I basically love him and would bear him children because of you.
