THE DAY WE MET MICKY DOLENZ

It was June of 1997. My sister Amy, my best friend Heidi, and I were off to see Micky Dolenz at an art show, and then The Monkees at The Palace Theater in Cleveland Ohio.

We got to the art show early, the room was almost empty. We waited for an hour and a half as the room got really crowded.Rumors were going around that Micky would not sign anything unless you bought one of his paintings. I was so upset, I could not afford a $200+ painting on the spur of the moment. My sister then figured out away to purchace a painting for herself. We were then told that all three of us could go up and meet Micky and they would take our picture and send us each a copy! I brought my own camera and took pictures from over my head. ( they actually came out preaty good )

It was our turn to meet Micky. We walked up and he signed my sister's painting,then we all stood around him. My sister is in the front, my hand is on her shoulder, and Heidi is behind me.

After the pictures were taken, we were shown into a room in the back where they took care of my sisters payment. Micky's girlfreind was sitting in the room. A young girl around 25? with red hair, I can't remember her name. She was really nice and talked with us for a while. She told us where she was sitting for the concert that night, she was only one row in front of us and over one section.

We then went back into the room with everybody else. I still hadn't gotten an autograph and was getting really nervous that I wouldn't. I stood right next to the table where Micky was standing, when he was finished signing all the paintings he signed my Justus CD. YES!!!
