JOHN EDWARD IN PITTSBURGH

Margaret got an email about the psychic John Edward being in Pittsburgh on Dec. 12th.

Margaret and John's book Final Beginnings

All you had to do was buy his latest book
"Final Beginnings" from the bookstore in Pittsburgh, and there was a ticket to go see him in person.

Margaret already had the book, read it and told me it was a great book, that she would like to see it as a movie.

Well she called my sister Olive and asked her if she would like to go to Pittsburgh to see John.

Olive ordered the books, and early morning Dec. 12th we left Erie and went to Pittsburgh.

Early morning on our way to Pittsburgh (no teeth)

It had snowed a little the night before, but the weatherman said we were going to get a Blizzard on Monday.

The ride down was nice. We got there about 11am. The doors didn't open until 1:30 pm but Margaret wanted to be first in line.

We found the parking garage, saw that others were already in line.

That's Olive in the blue coat. Some people were there since dawn.

Wow lots of people here now. Me in the red coat with black fur

We went to the Holiday Inn and used their bathroom, wanted to have some coffee or something to eat, but decided against it. We just went and stood in line.

Peopled talked about seeing him in other cities and how some of the places even passed out coffee and hot chocolate while they waited. This place would have made a mint if they would have opened up the doors early and let us buy some drinks and snacks.

While we were in line, it started to snow. It was funny seeing people with umbrellas and blankets trying to keep warm and dry. It was cold.

An hour to go, it started to SNOW. it's cold

Olive's feet were froze, my knees were aching, Margaret's back of her legs were stiff. We stood there until 1:30 when they opened the doors.

	We got a seat right down front. John was due at 3:00pm. The place was pretty full. People were talking about their families and wishing for a reading.
My hearing aid battery went out while we were standing in line. I had to ask Margaret what everyone said even though I was sitting right in front of a speaker.

The security guard said no cameras, recording devices of any kind. It was distracting. People were disappointed but they put them away. Next a guy came out he asked that we turn off or put on vibrate our cell phones or beepers and at that exact time, his went off. Everyone laughed. Then he introduced John Edward.

John came out in sneakers and jeans. He thanked everyone for coming and explained why he had this type of venue. He actually rented the hall himself. This time he could focus on his book and the process of his work. He started talking and answered people questions. I couldn't hear all of what he said but the people were really excited. He asked a man about a young child that passed. Not his child but a friend of his. The wife had to help him remember people. Even his own family information. I know what John means by "deer in the car headlights" or family amnesia.

John talks fast and walked across the stage from one side to the other talking to people in the audience. A couple times he came near us, but didn't talk to us.

It was interesting and before you knew it the people that were with him said it was time to leave.
He thanked everyone for coming and then he was gone.

Margaret was able to snap a couple pictures of him on his way out. He looked at her and opened his arms as if to say take the picture now. It didn't come out that clear, but we knew it was him.

Not allowed to take pictures, Marg got this one as he was leaving the stage, looks like he is posing for a photo on the run

So many people trying to get out at one time. There was a line no matter which way you went.

We went out to the parking garage and Margaret went to pay the cashier. We did get out of there and headed EAST.

Olive suggested that we stop in Cranberry to get something to eat. We stopped at Kings Restaurant.

Our waiter Jeremy was very nice and brought us coffee and hot chocolate. We ordered some food and just sat and talked.

Talking to son John on the phone. ugh got a mess at home

Olive called home to find out that her new dinning room set was in and her son John went and picked it up.
He had a horrible time getting it together and found a crack in the table and had to take it back. He told her she had one heck of a mess at home. Packing and foam everywhere. He wasn't kidding.

Coming back to Erie we realized that it snowed a lot more than in Pittsburgh. Margaret was anxious to get the pictures developed and took some of her house and the snow.
