The GA tickets were furthest from the stage. This is where we were seated. These seats had an advantage, they were closest to the door.

Ha! :)

Thanks for the report. Interesting that she's ended up at the Imperial Palace. IMO, the worst casino/hotel on the strip. She's been replaced at the Excalibur by Carrot Top it appears. My how the mighty have fallen.

Yeah, getting bumped by Carrot Top really means that you've hit rock bottom.
 
Very interesting, Fastrudy, and not what I would have expected. I mean, I did expect the VIP thing and the GA seating, and her sitting on a throne or a couch, but I never expected her to read from a sheet. She's usually, as Ex-Minister said, a person who speaks off the cuff, directly to her audience, and even can be funny sometimes. Her humour is one of the things I used to like about her. Now I don't find her funny at all...

That show sounds like it is her getting too tired to do her schtick, but still wants (or needs) the money, so on she goes. Just like the Energizer Bunny. On and on and on and on...
 
About 10 years ago, my sister and I took my mother to see Sylvia at The Westbury Music Fair here on Long Island. This was around the time when my sister and mother were big believers in her and my beliefs in woo were beginning to wane. I'd always been skeptical of the paranormal, but still leaned heavily on the side of belief.

It was very much like fasturdy described in his account with less preaching and she had an opening act, Gordon Smith, who I will say was quite entertaining.

At the time, Sylvia was of the Gnostic persuasion. She would toss out a few laughs, make her vague predictions, etc. Then we had nap time, I mean "meditation".

She went on about spirit guides, hawking her many books with emphasis on the new one at the moment. And the topper was that creatures like Bigfoot, Aliens, Nessie, Chupacabra, etc. were real but they didn't exist on this plane of reality. They were from a parallel universe and people see them because there was a brief break in the fabric between the two. And that would be why we can never find them and never will!

Near the end she did a few readings. One of my favorites was a woman who basically called her bluff. The woman had been to a Montel taping and Sylvia told her that her health problem was fibromyalgia. The woman went to her doctor who said Sylvia was nuts and didn't know what she was talking about. Sylvia's talons started clicking. She was getting steamed and said, "Well, it is. Tell him to do the right tests." Then the woman said she had also called Sylvia on her radio show and Sylvia told her it was something else. The woman went to answer but Sylvia kept interrupting her and telling her that the doctor was wrong and she needed a second opinion, which the woman had done. Eventually, the woman was ushered away from the mic and Sylvia berated her for not believing.

I hope you have fun at the Sylvia Extravaganza.

I wonder if she is getting Alzheimer's. It seemed like after the Montel show ended and he was traveling with her doing the lectures, people would say that he seemed to sort of intervene and get her back on track, or repeat things she couldn't hear or misunderstood.

You know, that DOES explain a few things, now that you mention it.

Remember how Robert said that Sylvia said at the Vegas show that "Someone will take care of you," and when he bent down and asked her to repeat herself so he could be certain, that her attendant guiding her wheelchair quickly turned her around and took off?

I believe that I read that she herself said she would live to 92 with her faculties intact. No matter how much I don't care for her, I hope she doesn't end up with Alzheimer's. I don't wish that on anyone. My uncle has severe dementia and this has been a horrible strain on him and the family. :(

Yeah, I wouldn't wish it on her either. But I do wonder. Especially with what fastrudy said about her reading the lecture from notes.

Read over Robert Lancaster's article over at stopsylvia.com. He attended one of her shows a couple of years ago.

I thought his approach was great.

From Robert's article:
When Browne answered the first part of my question, I thought that she said "San Francisco University," but my wife, who was under less pressure at the moment, insists that she said "University of San Francisco."
She also insists that Browne said that she graduated in "Nineteen eighty...something," while I remember her saying "Nineteen eighty...two or something.".
Either way, I will be investigating this claim to see whether or not there is any evidence to support it.

So Robert, did you ever verify her degree? It's not mentioned on that page whether or not you did.
