We're Getting Down Till The Sun's Coming Up

Yesterday was Warped Tour. I was really excited and couldn't stop talking about it x3 I'm sure I annoyed a few people. lol.
I packed a bag x3 I had a jacket, sunscreen, food, water, gatorade, stuff to sign, a phone, a camera... by the time I was ready to go that bag was kind of heavy x3 My mom dropped me off at my cousin's house and she drove me to her friend's house and she drove us downtown to the Time Warner Cable Amphitheater. We parked a couple blocks away and walked. it wasn't too terribly far.

We got there and I kind of expected the bag-checker people to actually look through my stuff but they just openned it up and didnt even touch anything and they said I was good. Soo... I could have stuck my camera under all my crap, and brought it anyways xD or something. lol. But I'm not complaining x3

We got there and we missed one of The Academy Is songs but we got to see the rest. Unfortunately they played into Cobra Starship time and I didnt get to see them. =[
TAI was great like always. I love them ^_^
We saw a band called The Audition. I'd only heard one song from them before but they were really good, i liked them. They had a smaller stage and a smaller crowd so we could get pretty close.

I also got to meet the lead singer, Danny, he was pretty cool.
And I got to meet Family Force 5. They were funny.


We also saw, in no particular order, Anberlin, We The Kings, Katy Perry, some of Reel Big Fish, The Bronx, I sat down and just listened to Jack's Mannequin. There might have been more but I cant remember x3 Long day. lol. I did get to meet the drummer from The Academy Is -- The Butcher. He didnt look too thrilled that I had spotted him but in case you couldnt tell by my stupid grin, I was kind of excited to meet him.



I *saw* Jack the Camera Guy TWICE but either he was busy or I was busy and I didnt get to talk to him. But I stared at him xD




Anberlin was awesome, I was a little surprised. We the Kings was also really good but the crowd surfing got a little crazy. It was kind of scary to all of a sudden have this giant person on top of you... so I had to watch out for crowd surfers xD Katy Perry was kind of boring. by then we were all ready to go and her lyrics were kind of stupid. Reel Big Fish was hilarious. I loved them xD All of a sudden they started singing Metallica and the guy was like "I just made that up!" x3 The Bronx was boring and stupid. We couldnt understand a single thing the guy said and they all looked like they were stoned or something xD Maybe they were, who knows? Jack's Mannequin was also good.



It was HOT outside! Luckily I came prepared ;D I must've had like 90 ounces of liquid between the giant water bottle, the giant bottle of gatorade, and then i *refilled* my water bottle. Then I sweated it all out again x3 gross. lol. Everyone was pretty smelly and gross by the end of the day though, obviously.

I got two shirts. A Cobra Starship T-shirt with their gang sign on the front of it and on the back it says "Fangs Up Cobra Starship" its cool. C:
I also got a Vans Warped Tour shirt, its black and kind of like half tank top kind of thing.
Then I got a cd for $5. Its actually two cds with a song from 50 of the bands from warped tour.




Sooo yeah. It was pretty cool. I wish I would've had the energy to go see all the other bands I wanted to see d: and I missed the signing of some bands I wanted to meet too but there was four other people who went with me and so I just followed them around xD

But yeah, it was a lot of fun. Next year I need to figure out a different bag strategy. I might just take a back pack or something. Some people did... But yeah. Now Im tired because i was out in the sun all day yesterday (but was smart enough to wear sunscreen so im not red as a tomato ;D) and i couldnt sleep very well. But i had a lot of fun. OH AND I got Gabe Saporta's cell phone number because i took them food x3 But unfortunately I didnt get to meet Gabe.

The City Is At War

Well I can't go to the concert in Columbus because its too far away...
Maybe next time. I'll meet Gabe and Vicky T if it kills me. :P Okay maybe not if it kills me. but you get the idea.




WARNING: they swear in the music video.
But its a funny music video....

It's Warmer In The Basement

Ohnoes!
The Cobra Starship concert I was planning on going to on the 25th at the Grog shop is SOLD OUT.

So my other option is a dinky place in Columbus called the Basement that doesnt even have a website. o.o
But I really want to go... >.> And Tickets are only $10 after all.

Thursday, December 13, 2007

AAAAAAAHHHHHH

^_^

I finally got pictures from the concert! :D YAY!!!!!
Unfortunately my computer just woke up and its not quite as excited... so its working slower than I am...

OKAY So... here we go.
Standing in line in the cold and the rain makes my head look HUGE:


Chillin' -- Literally
My cousin's friend Jessica, Me, my cousin Tina

Me, my cousin, my cousin's friend's boyfriend Ryan



GABE SAPORTA ♥ and WILLIAM BECKETT!!! ♥ I dont know what was up with Bill's clothes but they were kind of weird... luckily he changed later.


William's "I'm getting possessed" face :D


Singing to someone ♥ but not me



singing to someone else, but still not me. lol



OH EM GEE ITS RYLAND. ♥ This dude pwns. And he has the best British accent.


Nate, the drummer. It looks like I was copied and pasted from the previous picture xD

And Alex ♥ I love this guy. lol.
Well I love them all but he was awesome... and so was Ryland.
Alex is the guy who asked if I'd rather he sign my poster and when I told him I didnt have one he grinned and said that I did. And wham, he whipped out a poster out of my cd. So I asked him if he could sign both and he agreed.

The Really Really Rediculously Good Looking Tour


At the Sleeping With Giants tour, Cobra Starship announced that they were coming back to Cleveland soon. I was quite surprised to actually learn how soon. d: January 25th they're coming back and will be playing at the Grog Shop, with The Cab, We The Kings, and Metro Station. Well I've never heard of any of those bands but it's Cobra Starship! :P

They said they'll be playing all the songs on their new album and since I love them live so much, i think it'll be worth the overwhelmingly whopping amount of $10. +$2 at the door if I'm under 21.

I have taken the venue into consideration. ;) I don't know if I mentioned this but I went to the Grog Shop to meet Daughtry. If you can remember that far back. :P Anyways, it was sorta small. Like a basement or something... But I'm convinced the standing area is actually a little larger than the standing area at the House of Blues which is where the other concert was. Actually most of that place was standing area... but anyways, yeah HOB standing area was SMALL.

So I really really really want to go! >_<
And if I do I'll crawl on my hands and knees to the front row if i have to xD
Plus I want a Cobra Starship t-shirt. :P

The only problem is finding someone to go with me... 'cuz i dont know if my cousin has school that day or not or whatever. So... yeah.

My Unforgetable Night

Yesterday was the day of the concert I've been talking about for three months now.
I was very excited, to the point of shivers.
My cousin picked me up at about 2:30 and we headed downtown to the House of Blues. It was cold and rainy and we stood in line for 3 hours, under the impression it would be worth it. We were second in line and convinced we'd get good spots.

After a few hours I saw a familiar face.


Not personally familiar but familiar nonetheless. I stared at him, not sure if it was him or not.
Then he spoke and it was clear as day. It was Jack the Camera guy!!! He is short. I think he must be about as tall as I am. But he's still awesome. Unfortunately, when he looked at me he was not recognizing a fellow photographer. xD He was looking for fanclub people. :( Which, unfortunately, I am not in. He walked by again but he looked kind of busy and so I chickened out and didn't ask him for a picture or an autograph. Which i regret now. I really need to stop chickening out. Because I didn't see him again after that.

5:30 rolled around. Thats when the doors were supposed to open. Someone asked the employees when the doors were going to open because it was like 5:45 and the employee said "When we say they're open." and so everyone started complaining. We were ALL freezing, it was so cold. So everyone was a bit annoyed. It was probably past six by the time the doors finally opened. We got in a line, took everything out of our pockets so they could wave their wand over us to make sure we didn't have knives or guns or anything, and then we went down some stairs into the main section.

To our dismay, there were already a bunch of people there. At least six rows worth. So we squeezed in there and waited for a while. FINALLY Cobra Starship came out. They are amazing. I love seeing them live and that was only my second time. :P Gabe Saporta, the lead singer, really knows how to work a crowd. Plus there weren't a TON of people so we could move and breathe and actually see.

At one point the crowd started shoving and it was like dominoes. A bunch of people fell over, myself included. It was pretty annoying because at random times people would start shoving again. But Cobra Starship was worth it. At the very end, the lead singer reached out into the crowd. Everyone surged towards him and then all of a sudden it was like a huge dominoes set, everyone just fell down, almost bringing Gabe with him. Fortunately he was saved by a near by security guard but still...

Then Sherwood came out. They were good. Their keyboardist was awesome, he'd jump around and do crazy stuff. He was cool. Then it was Rocket Summer -- Everybody loves Bryce, the lead singer. He played the piano a few times, the guitar, and then at one point he did a drum solo type thing so he was pretty cool. After them was Armor For Sleep and they were pretty good too. They were all good considering their music from their albums that I had heard online. Sometimes there's a particular sound where you think maybe they messed around with it on a computer or something but the sound was pretty genuine for all of the bands so thats good. :)

But as the night wore on, more and more people crammed into that tiny space. There were more people shoving and several taller people standing in front of me. Finally the Academy Is came out. It's pretty cool, I think, to follow these bands online for so long and see all the pictures and videos and then to finally see them in real life. Maybe I'm just weird. But William Beckett is amazing. He doesnt work the crowd quite like Gabe does but he makes eye contact with everybody he can. And Im convinced he looked at me at least twice. x3 But anyways. Yeah, he sings to people and makes eye contact and then he smiles as we all sing every word.

By this point, I was pretty tired from all the standing and looking up and the shoving and jumping and waving and stuff. And I had been sweating a lot... and really thirsty... REALLY thirsty. Suddenly, I'm pretty sure it was during one of the last handful of songs, I felt really clammy and cold and got that feeling I get when i turn pale. I turned around and told my cousin that I needed water. Now. And I didn't feel good.

So she had her friend's boyfriend take me to get water. We made it through the sea of people and i held onto his arm so i wouldnt get lost. Then I started getting dizzy and my vision was suddenly going dark. I was freaking out, thinking "Im gonna faint. This must be what its like when people faint. Im gonna faint!" but luckily I didnt faint. We got to the counter and water was like $3.50 for a bottle. Then suddenly my stomach gave a few heaves, but there was nothing in there to come up anyways. I went to the bathroom and just sat down for a few minutes to catch my breath and calm down and then I went back out. My cousin's friend's boyfriend had gotten me a bottle of water after all, which i heartily thanked him for and i sat down on the floor and drank almost the whole thing on the spot. We chilled out for a while then he suggested we go buy merch before there was a billion people in the other room. I agreed.

At the first table I saw Cobra Starship's new cd was $10 so i got one. Then I turned and BAM. There was Ryland. ♥



Ryland is the guitarist for Cobra Starship. He's also pretty tall. And VERY nice. So i was tearing off the plastic from my cd so he could sign it for me. :D I had this huge grin on my face and he was smiling at me and stuff. ^_^ So yeah. Then I saw another guy with a sharpie marker and found out he was the drummer. Nate. :)


So i got him to sign my cd too. Then I was standing in line (sort of) to get a shirt and there was Alex!



w00t. So I HAD to get his autograph. I walked in the same parking lot as him at Honda Civic Tour in May :P My mom said I should've gotten his autograph cuz he looked famous but I didnt know who he was at the time so... But i got his autograph this time. And first he said "Do you want me to sign your poster instead?" I said "I dont have one", kind of confused. And he smiled and said "yeees you do..." "I do?!?" "Yeah, this is one of the best things about our album" and he pulled out the booklet and unfolded it and BAM. A poster. ^_^ So i had him sign both and thanked him with my big ol' grin and he smiled and said i was welcome and thanked me for coming and stuff.

So I bought my TAI shirt -- the very last one of the kind I wanted. And then my cousin and her friend came and we got pictures with all three guys. And then we left. lol.
I dont have any pictures since i didnt take my camera but my cousin is going to email me the pictures she and her friend got so I'll post those later. Until then here are some that I have:





Mah poster. ^_^


verreh happeh.

W00t. Ryland signed his name with a heart ^_^


I'm cool like that.
Thats my TAI shirt btw.



Anyways, if I had the chance I might go see TAI again. I would take WATER. And I would know that if I dont shove my way up to the front there is no way William Beckett will ever sing to me. x3



Look for more pics later! :D

Viva La Cobra!


W00t w00t!!!
Cobra Starship announced that starting October 23rd they're joining the Sleeping With Giants tour. Which just happens to be the concert in November I'm going to that I can't stop thinking/talking about! This show is gonna pwn. I am so glad I'm gonna go.

Worth The $20?

I think they will be.

Plans

Tommorow there are tons of book stores and places like that, doing things for the release of the latest Harry Potter book. I'm gonna go with my cousins and aunt. theres actually a whole city (or part of a city) that is transforming into Potter-Land or something along those lines, just for the release. All the Restaurants have special harry potter recipes, and there are contests, and games and give aways and stuff. It'll be fun...

Speaking of my cousin, she just happens to like The Academy Is and wanted to go to the same concert I've been talking about so we're gonna plan it out so we can go together, and she's inviting a couple of her friends, so it should be fun. :)


Work is the same. Sometimes it feels like time stops all together... lol. Other time it goes by in 2 minute increments. But after the 4 hours is up it feels like it went by sorta fast, its weird.

I need a new picture for my sidebar since i got my hair cut.

What did i tell you about those pessimists, man?

"Pessimists are never disappointed"
(for those of you who weren't paying attention)

;)

I went to the website to order tickets for the House of Blues for the concert I want to go to. Just to see how much they cost, so I could realize it was too good to be true and the tickets really were as expensive as i thought.
And i was SHOCKED at the ticket price.

$20 whole dollars.

For real?

Fo' rizzaaaal!!!111

(*ahem*)

I just might be able to go after all. ;)

So now I'm wondering if its a first come first serve kinda deal and you get squished by hundreds of crazy, screaming, rabid fan girls and separated from everyone you know...
Because William Beckett has some fan girls.
(not to mention The Butcher, Sisky, Chiz and Mike...)

And I can't imagine my parents enjoying themselves at a concert like that. At blossom there are rows with seats and you sit (or stand) and no one's in your face, screaming in your ear.


Maybe my imaginary friend Helga with go with me.
Y'know, the one with the Creedlers.
Thing is she cant drive...
Darn.

Anybody wanna pretend to be my friend and go to a The Academy Is concert?

Some Stuff

Yesterday I got two shots, one for meningitis and a chicken pox booster.
And so after that I was pretty miserable. Like my head hurt and i was tired and probably had a fever or something. Maybe it was all in my head. Who knows.

I was bummed out when my dad came home - with no concert tickets in hand. But I guess you can't win everything. Tickets for the other concert i want to go to this November go on sale this friday... not that i have the money right now but I do start working tomorrow at 9 am. After spending about a week or two on this stupid work permit. I'm hoping the tickets aren't ridiculously expensive because i listened to the opening bands and i like them too... so i kinda really want to go... but I'd have to buy one for a parent to go with me too.... and if they're $60 each i am NOT spending $120 just to go to a concert... no matter how great it might be. so yeah... i don't know.

This morning, despite having stayed up till 11, i woke up at 7 which is very annoying. For some reason, my head has some sort of internal alarm clock and I've been getting up at 7 all week. So those are my complaints. :P

You like pain? Try getting Braces.

(yay for butchered movie quotes!)

I'm not liking having my mouth be uncomfortable... Mostly because I know this is nothing compared to what is coming. My mom said I'll lose a lot of weight in the next two years or whatever. Lol...

My dad compared braces to medieval torture devises which put a pleasant vision in my head. ;)
And I have to get the expander device before the braces which you have to crank every day. I'm trying to figure out how i'm supposed to eat with a whole object big enough to crank at the top of my mouth.
I'll have to put all my food in a blender and drink it. :P
As Joshua would say:
eeeewwww....
then after the expander device of torture, I get the braces...
which everyone keeps telling me how painful they're gonna be...


On a more hopeful note... ;)
My dad entered his name for tickets to the Daughtry/Staind/Nickelback concert tonight so I'm crossing my fingers.

Chris Daughtry All Over Again

Well Mr. Daughtry and his friends are coming to Blossom next week with Nickelback and Staind, two very great bands.
I heard something funny on the radio station the other day... Something along the lines of:

"We're looking for the biggest Daughtry fan! Email us why you are the biggest fan in 50 words or less and we'll pick the three finalists and YOU'LL vote for the winner!"

Excuse me.

Not only are they going to meet said rock star, they are going to interview him for the radio station. Which i would be bad at because I mumble but that is beside the point.

I'd bet you anything they made sure this event is going to be great.
If I hadn't won last time, I'm sure it would have been great. I would've been very upset but hey.
But even if I considered entering this time, I'm sure it would suck.
I'm not sure if I'm still mad at Chris. I mean, he says he appreciates his fans, then a handful of extra special fans shows up and he wont sing for them, wont talk to them, wont look at them.
I really don't get it... if i was in his place I would want to make sure ALL of my fans loved me. He's still the new guy. If he makes enough fans angry his career could be over before you could say "I'm going home"

Even if I did want to enter the contest from the radio station they wouldn't let me win since I won last time and everyone hated me... so... Whatever. But still. I'd like to personally talk to the person who wins and see what it was like.

Now, the contest for Nickelback is more exciting. Mostly because you get to meet the band and then all access to the "photo pit" which sounds thrilling. To me. :P Ms. Band Photographer-wanna-be-person. Yeah... anyways. It'll be a great show. Hopefully Daughtry figures it out eventually and doesn't screw up his whole music career but what do I know? I'm just a teenager with lots of angst or whatever that word is. :P I'm supposed to hate the world for crying out loud. ;)


Tuesday, July 03, 2007

reminiscing;

Back to the Fall Out Boy concert... my ears were seriously ringing for three days after the show. But it was worth every minute.
The lady that my dad knows who was sitting next to us never emailed the pictures so i hunted down someone who posted pics from the show at Blossom on the Honda Civic Tour community online.

I was looking at pics online and remembering how much fun the concert was...
I wish I could go do it again. :P
FOB's touring over in Europe or whatever now though so... I'm just gonna have to wait. AND THEY ARE GOING TO BE IN AUCKLAND, NZ, Mrs. Kate Kiwi!!! :P I'm jealous ;)

The Academy Is... is coming to the House of Blues in November. And some other places I havent heard of in Columbus and Cincinnati.... I'll have to watch for ticket prices and stash some money away. ;)

Travis Barker on drums for +44. At one point he was smoking and playing the drums at the same time...

An awesome picture of Adam Siska aka: Sisky. The bass player for The Academy Is...

That weird guy Dirty that nobody knows :P I gotta give him props for shooting t-shirts in my direction though :P


nice pic of Pete Wentz, bass player for Fall Out Boy

Patrick Stump, lead singer and guitarist for FOB

Pete Wentz again, i loved it when they would spin around with their guitars/basses



Joe Trohman, guitarist for FOB, he looks better when he's shaved and cuts his hair...

Weekend Stuff Part 3: Wrapping it Up

You already know what happened on Sunday,
The concert was awesome, had a great time.
I liked seeing the different ways people dressed up for concerts, it was funny.
Some people wore normal stuff, others wore some freaky stuff
there were several stupid girls falling out of their shirts in the freezing cold.
I put blue streaks in my hair and it looked kinda neat :) they washed out though.
I was pleased to see several Volcom items though....

So Monday i was listening to one of the bands that performed, online and i decided i was going to buy their cd.



(The band's name is The Academy Is... and the album name is Santi, which is a word they made up i guess meaning something along the lines of "Thank you" or "Cheers")



So I did.
I think its a good cd, i like it :)
Of course now, between the $25 shirt and the $15 cd... i have no money...
And I've been thinking... I wish there was a way you could pay the BANDS the money you spend on their cds, and not the record company or whatever. Because thats just not fair.
But anyways...

My friend went home on Wednesday and there has been no more excitement :P
Which is good this time because i need a little break.

Glenn the Funny Song Man said he'd try and get his DJ friend to get me an autograph from Blake Lewis but Glenn is in Mexico with his wife celebrating their anniversary so I wont know if he got it or not until after the 29th....

Let's Get These Teen Hearts Beating Faster, Faster

(okay, not a fall out boy song but they played it over and over)

So last night was the Fall out boy concert.
It was awesome! for the most part anyways.
First thing we did was zip past all the traffic and head back stage to our VIP parking lot.
Then we went and I bought a t-shirt. :) I saw a hoodie that was really cool but those were $55 and I only had $40 so i just bought a FOB shirt.

The first band up was Cobra Starship and they were pretty good. I liked the guy's purple hoodie. It was almost impossible to take your eyes away because everyone just kept jumping around and stuff.

Then it was Paul Wall so we got up and went looking around. We were trying to find the radio station to see if Glenn was there but we found the radio station tent was outside the main gate and we werent allowed to re-enter so... We didn't see him though.
We went to look for my cousin and found her but she didn't recognize me which is weird but oh well.

Next up was The Academy Is... They were good too. Similar style to Cobra Starship. they both had the same trends going on - the "i just rolled out of bed" look.

Later was +44 and the lead singer let us know that The Academy Is... had the tightest pants of the whole tour.

+44 was not great other than Travis Barker who's a really good drummer.
Then while we were waiting for ages for Fall Out Boy to show up I FINALLY decided to head up to the tent where all the bands were going after their performances to meet the fans and then of course they were gone and FOB had decided to come out finally.

One thing I hadnt understood was that it's really Pete Wentz's band. Generally I imagine the lead singer to be the one to do all the talking and stuff but he didn't say much.
Fall out Boy was good too. Not like the bands they have to polish up on computers, they performed really well.

In between shows was this guy named Dirty. I have no idea who he was but everyone started screaming whenever they saw him so...
At one point he brought out this cannon and asked who wanted a free t-shirt.
I actually got up and waved my arms in the air and he shot two my way. My mom went for one and I went for the other but some girl in front of us who didnt seem to be enjoying herself anyways wouldn't let my mom have the shirt and took it away so... Maybe i was just annoyed with her but she sat there and messed around on her cellphone most of the time...

But i got my own t-shirt so it wasnt that big of a deal.
Then he got shot with baseballs and one girl in the front row got to go on stage and put the baseballs in the shooter and she got a poster "signed in blood" by Fall Out boy.

Then during Dance Dance he was up on stage dancing which was funny.

Despite what people who know me and have gone to concerts with me before may think, i did stand up and clap and cheer and make noise and all that fun stuff.
I'm not exactly sure i was really singing along half the time 'cuz i couldn't hear myself but oh well :P

My ears are still ringing.
But the concert was awesome, i had a great time.

At one point they played Panic! At the Disco's "I Write Sins Not Tradjedies" and every single person in the place (including myself) must've been singing along. Then they played Cupid's Chokehold by The Gym Class Heroes and everyone sang along to that too. It was cool.

It was funny to notice the difference in the bands.
Cobra Starship couldnt stop thanking us for being there.
Paul Wall couldnt stop singing the same song over and over,
The Academy is thanked us and was selling their new album for $10 (which i didnt manage to get)
and Fall Out Boy said that the first place they had sold out a show was Cleveland so they would continue to come back.

The tickets said not to bring cameras so i didnt bring mine but lots of other people were allowed to bring theirs but someone that knows my dad is going to email him some pictures i think...

Friday, May 18, 2007

This Ain't A Scene...

It's a Fall Out Boy concert!
They're coming to Blossom for their big Honda Civic tour pimping their new Cd.
And my dad won 3 tickets!!!

It's this Sunday at 6. Bands like
+44
The Academy Is
Paul Wall??
and Cobra Starship
are going to be performing as well.

*RIGHT NOW* I'm trying to set up something with my friend so she can come with me.
*crosses fingers*
I dont get to see her a lot so this would be a great sleep-over opportunity :P

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.
