Well, It was Friday June 13th 1997 I was at the Shoreline Amplitheater for BFD. The sun had set the music was pumping and the Cure was playing. I thought to myself Robert Smith really looks bad and sounded worse. (and i loved the cure for years before then) I turned to my friend and told her" I have to get away from this dieing cat I will catch up with you later." So there I was, wondering around looking at the faces of the drunks the stoned and everyone in between. And Then something happened, something shifted I looked up to see a guy sitting on a picnic table. He yelled out to me " hey you want a Blo Pop? " as being a hard candy freak I said "sure what flavor" It was strawberry, my favorite. We made small talk and exchanged numbers. I was thrilled to know he lived 5 miles from my house. hmm maybe he'll call I thought as I walked away and stuffed his number in my pocket. He called the next morning before 9am...
this is a photo of our original numbers and tickets. it sits next to our wedding invite and flowers

We were married October 16, 1999.
And now we are living a happy peaceful life. and who ever said don't take candy from strangers. Look where it got me. A terrific husband, a best-friend, and a bigger better family. mmmm. I can still taste the strawberry Blo Pop. okay maybe not. Maybe it's just my flavored chapstick but hey, a girl can pretend!
