When  I left my motel room for the Coliseum at noon on Saturday,  it was snowing pretty hard  and there was a winter storm warning in effect for the entire day with a forecast of rain changing to sleet and snow and a posibility of  3  to  5 inches of snow,  with temperatures dropping throughout the day.    Fortunately, the temperature never dropped below freezing.  However, La Mafia had flown in from Mexico, only to sit and wait for hours at the Dallas airport.  For a while it looked like their takeoff would not be cleared in time for them to make the show.  But, although things were running late,  they  made  it  to  the c oliseum  just  minutes  before t heir  crew  had  things  set up.  And boy did they make an entrance.   They opened with Sabor A La Fiesta and played hit after hit, and the crowd was pumped.  I couldn't believe they  were  so  energetic  after that  ordeal  at t he airport.   And of course as usual,  they  stayed after the show to sign autographs and take pictures with everyone who asked.  They didn't leave the building until almost midnight.
Oscar was all over the stage.  I don't think I've ever
       seen him move around so much
Mando was full of energy too!
I did manage to get one picture of  Michael way in the back of the stage.  I know he would have smiled for me if he had                 realized I was taking his picture.  LOL                
Tim was sporting a new hairstyle! 
Oscar introduced Marion,the newest member of La Mafia to the crowd.
