My Daughtry Experience

I actually surprised myself today. I got a c0uple butterflies on the way there and i didnt have an appetite and my legs were a little shakey for the first two seconds when i stepped out of the van.


Other than that I was just chillin'. It was a little weird for me.


Normally I would be all tense and shaking, freaking out and sweating...
Chris walked by and I grinned and I said "There he is!"


and took a picture or two but I didn't shake or quiver or fall over or get pale or break into a sweat or ANYTHING. He was three feet away from me and I didnt look away from him or shake, I really impressed myself ;) I kept my cool pretty well. I dont know what happened.


The other guys were walking around on occasion and they were really cool.


We got into our designated line for the special people and the lady next to us started talking to us like she knew us. She was really nice and easy to talk to and we were all just hanging out...
We also exchanged email addresses so we can swap pictures.
We FINALLY got to walk in and she turned me and grabbed my arm, screaming. I thought she was going to start crying.


Then when they started playing she reached over with this big grin and squeezed my arm.


There is nothing like feeling your favorite music.
The amplifiers were up so loud I could feel it pulsing through me. Not deafening loud but pretty loud.

I got a bunch of great pictures. The drummer was really cool and I got a bunch of good pictures of him too. I think he's the only one who looked at me during the sound check.



We only got to hear two songs....
Then we lined up and they signed ONE thing each. A picture they handed out.
My dad asked if we could get a picture with Chris and he looked unsure and his manage said "There wasn't enough time"



So it was kinda short but we were right there. It was probably a once in a lifetime opportunity for me so I enjoyed it but I have to admit I was a bit disappointed.
there wasn't any time to hang out with the guys and chat and get pictures and stuff.


I have so many more pictures but its getting harder to keep track of the ones ive already posted and i've already posted a ton so... ;)
But I had a great time. i just wish it could've lasted longer.

I think its great to see that these guys are just normal people. They werent stuck up or snotty, they mingled with the fans a little before the sound check, they were really nice.
They just happen to be in a great, famous rock band.
