(I traveled with the Chicago fan caravan of John, Brenda, Sandie and Timre. We spent the morning in downtown Atlanta, and then met up with the rest of the ROers before the show.)
The Chicago
Roadtrip group visited Centennial Olympic Park.
(From left: Missy, Timre, Sandie, Janet, and Brenda.... The fountains were pretty cool!! : )
From there, we went to meet up with our fellow Repeat Offenders.
Fans met
at the Atlanta Beer Garten to "chat" and sign ROer books.
(From left: Robert w/Leslie behind him, then Timre, Brenda, John, and Cynde.)
Majid
got surprised when Brenda gave him a thank-you package.
After spending nearly three hours hanging out together, fans began
leaving for Chastain Park.
We waited longer than expected for our backstage time with Richard,
but our chance finally came.
Richard
received his own Repeat Offender book from Timre, and then began signing
ours.
Richard and I posed for
the camera. : ) 
I took pictures of many fans backstage -- like these of Brenda and Janet with Richard...
(Left) and Sandie with Richard. (Right) Many fans got long-awaited
hugs from Richard... like Kim here (and yours truly ; ) .
Then it was time for group pics! The Chicago group posed with Richard and Don.
(Sandie, Brenda, Richard, Timre, and me -- Richard and his sisters! : ) Then Timre, Brenda, Don, Sandie and me.)
All in all, everyone had a great time at an incredible
show. : )
