Texas Cloud and CloudUSAer Tammy had barely gotten back from Rain’s 2013 ZEPP tour when suddenly he turned up here in the Deep South (a few states over from her) to start filming his scenes for The Prince… and she was off again like a shot to take advantage of what could be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. And doggone if it didn’t turn out to be just that. Wow. 🙂

Tammy, thanks so much for not only sending us a fan account to share with Cloud sisters all over the world, but including your point of view of ZEPP Tokyo to boot. There’s nothing like getting a “two-fer” (two-for-one), especially when it has to do with Rain.

Glad you’re safely home from your travels with memories that will last a lifetime. Well done!

(“Rainbow”? Really? Bless his heart. kekeke) ^@@^

A Cloud’s Adventure to meeting the “Raining Prince”

I’m Coming:

Okay, Clouds… to say I’m happy to have met Rain is an understatement!!

My adventure started out the first week of the Zepp Tour. I bought a ticket to the first show in Nagoya and was on my way to the concert… so I thought! Well, the airlines I was on had two mechanical issues on two planes… really?!  So, needless to say, 2 days waiting at the airport and I missed the concert (I understand now when people go postal)! And I did what any normal, sane, grown Cloud would do at that moment. I BROKE DOWN AND CRIED LIKE A BABY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE AIRPORT (so what if I scared some people walking by). I remember thinking, I want to talk to my Mom (one of those cries). Fortunately, I called my Cloud sister Michele DeMarco, told her what happened and asked if she had an extra ticket to the concert in Tokyo (because not seeing him was NOT an option)! She came to my rescue and said. “Yes girl, come on” and I love her for that!

My mom, on the other hand, called me from Chicago and said, “Tam, I want ‘The Rain’s’ email address, because I’m going to tell him what you’re going through to see him!” I said, Thank you, Mom, and I love you, but it doesn’t work that way and his name is “Rain” not “The Rain” (I guess that’s a plus, because she was calling him “Rainbow” at one point, eek). She said, “Well he needs to know that there’s a ‘dark cloud’ over one of his Black Clouds” and then burst out laughing and said, “I’m sorry, that was way too easy!”

After explaining to my mom what Michele was doing for me, she started to like “The Rain” again (and why was it his fault?!).  Anyway, a week later I met Michele and my other Cloud sister, Maria Cammarota in Tokyo…and it was on, baby!

Oh Yeah:

I didn’t know what to expect when arriving at the concert because I didn’t know how to speak Japanese. Fortunately, I met some amazing Clouds and they all made me feel so comfortable and helped me when needed. You ladies rock!

The concert started on time, and when Rain came out I couldn’t do a thing but stare for the first 15 minutes! He’s just as handsome in person as he is in photos and movies… Good Lawd!! I mean REALLY?! What does that man use on his skin?! His skin is so soft and smooth like milk!! Whew… and he’s so tall and lean, you just want to climb up and see what you can find at the top waiting for you…*clears throat*  I’m sorry… I got distracted for a minute… But you know what I mean! 😛 He tore up the stage at the concert with his Pop-locking and break-dancing skills from the past and his “Grown man” suave moves from the present! He’s so addictive you just want to go night after night to see him on stage! He’s a wonderful entertainer and will make you feel like you’re the only one he’s singing to (kekekeke).

I was supposed to stay for two concerts, but 5 hours before my flight I started to itch and scratch like an addict (I needed one more fix of “The Rain”). Needless to say, I bought a ticket to the concert to see him one last time (so I thought).  He rocked it like only Rain can! Towards the end he came out on Lil Kim & 50 Cent “Magic Stick”, and when he looked at me, stuck that tongue out and moved those hips… goodness gracious. *fantasy starts* (music playing) Rain is looking into my eyes and telling me I’m the most beautiful woman in the world and asks me to marry him and right before he kisses me… BAM!  Somebody bumped me (music scratched) *fantasy over*

Back to reality! NOOOOO…

Oh well, it was good while it lasted. I was still happy I had a chance to get my fix in! I thought to myself, “Now I can go back to the States a happy, happy woman!”

Touch Ya:

Meanwhile, somewhere in Pensacola, Florida…

My friend and sister Cloud, Cyndi Lacefield, contacted me and said (I quote): “I hope you are up. Just got the freak-out of my life. Rain is coming here, and girl, I don’t mean just U.S. here. I mean HERE, MOBILE ALABAMA, for the month of December. Let the stalking begin!” And I was thinking, “Yes, I can get one more fix!”

Cyndi contacted about 8 Clouds and started making plans. Unfortunately, the three of us were the only Clouds that were able to make it. All I needed to find out was where do I fly to and what day and time. She found out what hotel “our Prince” was staying in and confirmed he was in town, and I was on a plane AGAIN on Tuesday morning. By Wednesday morning around 10am, “Double Trouble” was in stalking mode, baby!

We went to the hotel and found out through our source that Rain was in fact there and getting dressed to do his next scene. OMG (heart beating fast) but I couldn’t freak out because all I heard at that point was my beloved friend in that sweet country voice of hers freaking out. “OMG, Tammy, Rain is here in the same building we are in. Oh my Lord, Tammy—Oh my Lord!” I told her, “Cyndi, please calm down, sweetie…” I was shaking and my heartbeat was getting louder, but one of us had to remain calm. So, after she had a cigarette and I did some breathing exercises, we were calm, cool and collected…

UNTIL that “tall drink of water” came out in a black suit and tie. Good Lawd!!  Oooooh… and I was thirsty for some water!

We squealed like two high school kids and started taking pics and videos!

Rain was his calm and fun-loving self before and after taping his last scene. When he started to leave the set, it was time to pounce. I told Cyndi, come on, let’s go! I ran over to cut him off and waved at him. When he started walking towards me, I couldn’t breathe or talk. Then Cyndi made a bee line towards him so fast it scared the both of us! LOL! Bless her heart, but could you blame her?! She introduced herself and started talking and talking and talking, LOL!  (I love you, Cyndi 😛 ) After turning around to shake my hand, Rain asked us, “Are you from The Cloud?” Yes, we said. “Okay,” he said, “let’s take a picture!”

Now, I want you to picture how all of this went down. He stepped in between us and put his arms around us…
Cyndi: “Oh Lord, Rain…my phone is still on video and, oh goodness, I’m sorry!”
Me (in my head, because I couldn’t speak): “Goodness, this man is fine and I can feel all of his muscles through this jacket.”
Cyndi: “Oh Lord, honey, I can’t change it to video… I’m sorry, Rain.”
Me (gripping his side to get closer to him while he tried to help Cyndi) “Yeah Cyndi, keep him busy… OMG, he smells so fresh and clean.”
Rain: (helps Cyndi with her phone with his left arm because I had him in a DEATH GRIP and he couldn’t move) “Calm down, it’s okay.”
Cyndi: “Rain, honey, I’m just so nervous…”
Me: (still exploring): “Mmmmmm, mmmmm, mmmmm, this man is a work of art… if only I can just get my hand under this jacket… awww, man, my family and friends said they don’t have bail money to get me out of jail… Dang!”
Rain (still helping Cyn) “Calm down…it’s okay.” (after switching her phone to camera and handing it to his friend, he looked down at me)
Me: “She’s just a little nervous.”
Rain (chuckles): “Yeah!”
After the pictures and after he walked away, we were so out of it and stunned, you could have bought us for a penny and got change! I mean, WE REALLY MET RAIN…WOW!

Instead Of Saying Goodbye:

I was blessed to meet “The Rain” again when our Cloud sister Gisele Winnier checked in at the hotel. We met one of the producers of the movie, Fred Song. He was so nice, and while talking to us about Rain, we were taped and interviewed for his show. It was awesome! When Rain got off of the elevator, I couldn’t move or speak (this man is the only person who can render me silent). Plus, I felt bad waiting for him because we heard he was exhausted, and I didn’t want to bother him while he was on his way back home to South Korea. But he’s such a nice guy, he took pity on us and took a picture with us anyway.

For the rest of the evening we were on CLOUD 9. I don’t think I’ve come down yet! One of the best experiences of my life!!!

Because of You:

I have met some wonderful women and made some great friendships all because of Rain (my Cloud sisters) and I’m very appreciative of that. I hope we Clouds stay loving and supporting of “our Prince” until he decides to quit… and thank goodness he don’t intend to do that anytime soon!
