Hey my fiance Kimi , me and her two sons Zach and Bubba saw Ozzy on the 30th of January in Skokie after standing outside for over 14 hours in temps as low as 3 degrees. We had the best time we ever had freezing our asses off with a guy from Canada who was just as determined to be one of the first to meet the Man known as Ozzy. We had a long cold shriving night but just the thought of meeting Ozzy was more than enough to keep us going. The mall security guys were real a**holes and kept chasing people off the property even though Barnes and Noble told us we would be able to wait by their door until it opened but that's ok we waited across the street until we were allowed to line up. Thanks to 7-11 down the street for being open to get an occasional hot cup of Joe. When they lets us in to see the man we ended up being numbers 1,2,3,and 4. My fiance was 1st and I thought she was going to piss herself when Paula, Ozzy's publisher's assistant introduced her to Ozzy as being the first in line and have waited all night to see him. Ozzy said you guys are f***ing crazy man, and that he had been to our home town many times before. He stood up and gave her a big hug and kissed her on the cheek and that made her whole f***ing life long experiences seem like only moments in time. She still has not washed her cheek off and it's been 5 days now. We met some interesting people that day and had the best f***ing time ever. To the guy from Canada that stood there with us you got big balls dude for standing there in just a coat thanks for becoming a friend. To Ozzy thanks again for everything you have done for rock and thanks for allowing us a chance to meet you in person We will never ever forget you. Also thank you to Black Sabbath for firing Ozzy when you did and to Sharon for picking Ozzy up from the nearly dead state he was in because he became the best thing for rock and our generation. Keep Rocking Ozzy see you on tour this spring at at Ozzfest this summer Front row.
