Ok, let's do this. First of all I would like to say that I really do feel like a family when all of the Loah lovers get together. I would encourage any one who has a chance to go to one of these fan events to do so. You won't regret it. I wasn't as nervous as I was for the luncheon. I WILL NEVER TAKE A BUS AGAIN!! IT SUCKED!! I didn't get to Fla until Sat afternoon. When I arrived Rachel picked me up and drove me to the hotel. It was a nice one. I had to go down to Vicky's room and sign the banner. I must say that Vicky made these wonderful gift bags for us. They had personalized hershey kisses, Loah buttons, laynards. She out did herself. Then I had to sign the beautiful books Sherry made. When that was done I went to my room and showered and changed and met the gang down stairs.

We head over to the the parish and we take a group photo.


They finally let us in and we go to the tables. I had a VIP ticket so I got to sit at Jake's table. *thud* He had flown in from Africa so he didn't get there until Sat. He sits down and he's talking to Jammie and the other people right next to him. He looks across the table in my direction and says, "I remember this beautiful lady from the luncheon. That's Angie, my num 1 fan." *thud* *is dead* Once again he looks even better in person than on tv. { I still don't see how that's possible, but it is.} He was making small talk with me through out the night. He said, "Are you going to eat? I know you're hungry." He also said, "Are you tired?" Awww, he's so concerned for me! Ain't I special!!

The dinner is done and we head over to the Bar Bash. That was sooooo much fun!!! I took a pic with Tala and Sherry. Tala is so pretty and nice.


Here's another pic of me at the bash. Recognize what I have on?


Me and Champayne went to the bar when Jake was making the drinks. She told Jake, "You know this is your num 1 fan." He looks at me and says, "I know. That's Angie." This is the best part. He then stares at me and says, "I love you." *thud* *thud* *is dead* *thud* *thud* So I say, "I love you too." Now I know for a fact that Jake loves me! I also know that he can dance. He danced with me. He and Tala did karaoke. They sang "Twist and Shout." Jake and Tala were feeling no pain on Sat night! None of us were. Oh, I also did a shot with Van and a shot with Jake. A few more pics from the Bar Bash.




This a pic of Jake when after he got finished singing Twist and shout. He thinks he's a rock star. Party like a rock, Party like a rock star! I liked our dance together. It was "special."



Jake and Tala singing Twist and Shout. How cute!!!




On Sun was the boat thing. I was so scared because I don't know how to swim and boats make me nervous. It was so much fun. I wasn't sick or anything. Here's a pic of me and Jake on the top deck of the boat after we gave Angela her surprise B-day cake and Van's surprise emmy brick and letter.


Here's me and Frances. I really like this pic.


The one thing I wanted out of this trip was a chance to talk to Jake. Me and Eileen were on the lower deck and we were talking. I then started talking to Roger (Angela Baldwin husband). Jake was next to us just staring at the water. I then got up the nerve and said hi. We then had a 20 to 30 minute conversation. Just me, no one else, solo, alone. HOW AWESOME WAS THAT!!!! Sherry saw that me and Jake were talking so she cocked blocked for me. You guys know that where ever Jake and Van were the people followed. Sherry finally came outside and snapped a pic of us.
