I woke up with a start the next morning. Had it all been a dream? No, I slowly realized as the room came to life around me. No. It was real. And that was only day one. *This is part 2 of a 5 part series. Missed part one, Cincinnati? Click here to go back. …

2006 was a very good year. A couple months after the dream sequence that was the Glenn Frey tour, Lindsey Buckingham announced his first solo tour since 1993. I had dreamed of seeing him solo live--and meeting him--since falling down the Fleetwood Mac and solo rabbit hole in 1998, so this was a non-negotiable: I …

In case you haven't noticed, many of my brushes with the objects of my fandoms haven't gone exactly according to plan. When I met Brian Wilson in 2001, despite my best attempts and highest heels, my friend who introduced us had to stand about 15 feet away to fit Brian's 6'4" frame, and my 5'2" …
You already know how I became a Coyote. But the announcement of a brand new Lindsey Buckingham solo tour has me super excited, and thinking of all my past Lindsey adventures. I mentioned one of them on Facebook the other day, and thought I'd tell the story here. After all, it's the day that kinda …

Today, I got on a plane bound for a brand new life. At 7am, my dad came in my room and told me I needed to get up or I would miss my flight. My parents drove me to the Toronto airport, the huge green suitcase that I'd had to sit on to close riding …
It was all supposed to start 14 years ago today. In 2001, I swore off concerts completely after a chance meeting with one of my heroes caused a rift with friends and family. Not wanting to take the chance of hurting anyone again, I decided that I would never go to another show. I had …

My Eagles trip was incredible. But that's gonna be a story for another time right now. Time to switch to Lindsey Buckingham fangirling here. I say Lindsey Buckingham very specifically, instead of Fleetwood Mac. Because on my way back home from Eagles dreamland, I discovered my other favourite band did the unthinkable. Fleetwood Mac fired …
God protect us and keep us safe. This is what I say to myself over and over and over from the minute I get on a plane, through takeoff, until I feel comfortable (or, as comfortable as I can get) at cruising altitude. God protect us and keep us safe. It’s adapted from what an …
I had a plan. When the Eagles' massive 2018 tour first got announced, I was brand new to my job. I hadn't had a full pay yet, and wasn't sure if I had calculated my taxes right. I didn't know if it would even be enough to cover the bills, let alone allow for a …
The other day I decided to go back in time. I've been trying for years to remember when I met my husband. Typically I'm great with dates, anniversaries; this should've been an easy one for me to recall since it was the first day of a brand new job. But January 2001 was a dark, …
