Minneapolis, Minnesota
Let me just tell you... this is definitelly gonna be their mad season!!! lol... Ok... first I will start off in the morning. Kimmi and I got woken up by the phone around 8:30. It was my mom calling. First thing I thought was.. great, somebody died and there goes the concert. Nope... she was calling to tell me the radio station had just called, and we had won FRONT ROW TICKETS!!! Let me tell you... I had never been so excited before in my life!!! Anyway, we got our butts in gear and headed on down to the Target Center.
Once we got there, it was around one o'clock. Kim went and picked up her fan club tickets and then we went on a scavengar hunt for a bathroom. LOL.. we seriously couldn't find one. We finally found one and when we got back to the Target Center around two thirty, the boys were doing sound check, so we went snooping around the arena until we found one of the entrances to the venue. We put our ears to the metal doors, and listened to the whole sound check. It was so awesome and we could hear it perfectlly fine! After that was over, we decided to go outside to see if they were by their buses. As we were walking, a guy walked bus us and he was talking on a cell phone and walking his dog. We didn't think anything of it until he stopped on the corner. I was like... wait a minute... That's Paul! Kim and I debated the issue for a few minutes until he finally turned and assured us that he was Paul. lol... We said Hi and then he went inside the venue. We decided that we would stick around the buses for awhile. Kim's friend Andy came over and we all started talking and out walks Pookie. He says hi and then went on his bus to take a nap... hehe... or so I think. Then... this is funny. We had walked a ways down from their buses and were standing in the sun trying to get warm(it was like ten degrees out) when all of a sudden we heard a lot of banging on the venue door. Andy and I went to see what was going on and Adam and Kyle were banging on the door trying to get inside... lol.. they were acting all paranoid and stuff.. so I was like what the heck. Later that night when I talked to Kyle, he said that they had set off their bus alarm by accident. They didn't think Pookie had set the alarm when he went it, but he did... so it was going off and they got freaked. I thought that was funny:) Oh, Jason came out to talk to us too while we were waiting. It was so much fun:)
ok... on with my story. Kim and I headed over to TGI Friday's were we were gonna meet the other GD'ers. Not many people ended up making it... lol... ggme called about four times... hehe... they were stuck in traffic and lost:( Don't worry, they made it to the concert on time:) RAIN, Babs, Camala, MB20LightsMyFire, SomeOneLikeU, and I all sat around talking for awhile and then we decided we needed to head over to the concert... hehe. By the time we got there, Lifehouse was almost over:( They were singing Hanging By A Moment... which was really cool. The sounded awesome, so I give them much props:) We only stuck around for a couple songs of Everclear cause we needed to go buy our Matchbox Twenty sweatshirts:) hehe
Ok.. now on to the main event!! lol... All of us GD'ers were sitting within the first couple of rows so we were right in front of the boys. Our tickets were directlly in front of Kyle... which was awesome! I was in front of him at the last concert too. The first song they sang was Crutch... very very cool. The Target Center exploded!!! The screaming was outrageous! haha.. all for the boys! They then played Bent. lol... Those are the only songs I can remember in order... how bad is that:( It was so awesome! During the concert, Adam came over to my side of the stage and I had made a poster for him that said... Adam~ Show us your pink plaid pasted purple porpiouse puppies... lol... he read it and started laughing! It was great. He then came over a little while later and posed for a picture... it is so funny! Oh.. Kyle tried to throw me like five picks... lol.. but his aim was off.. haha... He finally got one to me though, which was awesome!!! He is such a cutie. Let me just tell you.. Pookie is so so so fine! lol.. the way he shakes his booty across the stage could make any girl go crazy.. At least I know I was:) Robbie was gorgeous. He was very excited last night and was jumping all over the stage, non stop:) Paulie's hair was adorable. He said that he uses some kind of clay stuff to make it stick up.. hehe.. very cool:) Oh.. I almost forgot... I got Adam's pick too:)
So, after the show was over, we all head out to where the buses were to wait for the boys. It was so so so cold out and we were all bouncing around trying to keep warm. I bet there were prolly fifty people standing around outside. After about half an hour, Jason and Chad came out to talk with all of us. That was some pretty fun times! During this time, Minime and Jessie found me and we were all excited! We finally got to meet and I love her to death!!! She is such a sweetheart! She was freezing though... ya know... those Flordia girls just are never prepared for these harsh winters!! I mean, she even fell and busted her ass.. hehe:) I think we ended up waiting for about three hours and by that time, there were only about ten of us die hard fans there:) lol All of a sudden, the venue door opened and Jason yelled at us to all come inside. We were all in shock! I mean... he was inviting us backstage!!! lol Once we got back there.... The guys came out and signed our stuff, took pics, and talked with us. I bet they were all out there for half an hour at least. Adam went straight to the bus. I think he still wasn't feeling well. :(
While they were talking to us, Kyle and Jason were trying to contact their inner spirits by humming for a couple of seconds. lol. It was so funny:) Kyle also gave me another pick of his... just cause he is so nice:) I talked to Paulie about his puppy.. whose name is Sophie:) To cute! He said that he isn't married... it is just an engagement ring. He told Moon that if she has to wear one, he had to too! He also said they have been to busy to plan a date for the wedding. Pookie was awesome!!! We talked about how we met at the last show and how I always end up in the front row... it was so funny:) Such a cutie pie! Omg.. Robbie was excellant. He came out and right away told us we were nuts for waiting in the cold to see them. lol.. I was able to snag too pics with him, which was awesome:) He also called Kim and I his front row gals... lol.. that is awesome! Means, he remembers us:) Always a good sign! He is definitelly the sweetest man I have ever met in my life!
Last night was the best night of my whole entire life! I had a blast and I will never forget this! Ashley, Jill, Gina, Kimmi, Min(who also fell and busted her ass), Tami, Cami, and Jessie.. you are all awesome! I love you all to death!! Thanks for helping make my night perfect!!
