Hello everyone
My name is Kristii and I have been in the backround here. I was a member of a Blind Melon internet group years ago and I'll never forget a beautiful soul sent me loads of CD's, all the way to me from the States. I was sooo happy!!! I knew then that Melon Heads were special
I am so happy that after years of dreaming I am coming over for Shannons vigil this year from Melbourne, Australia.
I have been dreaming about this for so many years and now my kids are a little bit older I can fulfill the #1 thing on my bucket list and i can't tell you how excited I am. It's totally surreal that I am coming!
I am also nervous because I have never been to the US before and I haven't met any of you, but I feel like I know you in a way. We have that melon connection which is so special.
Blind Melon have been the back round music to my life, through the highs and lows, and without getting too soppy, Shannon has such a special place in my heart.
So I look forward to meeting you guys. Any advice is appreciated. I am flying into LA and missioning it from there. I am hoping to have my bestie in tow who is also a melon head. It's been her dream too. I remember the first house we lived in together 16 years ago Blind Melon was always blasting from the loungeroom and drunken sing alongs in front of the stereo while the party happened around us. Now we are grown ups and still the same music blares, and we still sit in front of the stereo singing! I hear the same music blaring from my daughters bedroom too now and my heart shines as I hear her & her friends singing away with Shannon.
I have checked the Knights Inn and thats all booked out. Can anyone give me advice on where else to stay? I have so many questions, so any information appreciated.
