Ok here I go.
I flew in from NY and arrived at 1:30 at the airport where Susie picked me up we then went to the hotel...Susie drove from SC and Crystal from WV..
We got ready and it was soo very hot anyway we arrived at the venue they had to unlock the gates because we had to set up for USA Harvest I was greeted by the person in charge of the Artist Arena venue for that night.. Wow talk about security police and they were having their pow-pow on the 411 before the doors opened.. I loved this place once you went through security at the gate we had out table set up on the left they you walked up stairs and there it was the whole venue stage and to the left was the lawn area.. to the far left were the bathrooms and lots to eat and there were balconies tables and soo many peeps having fun and hanging out..
I met soo many peeps at this show we were all over the place..
Me Susie Crystal and Cheryl all had meet and greets so we were on line at 7:15 well there wasn't a line just all of scattered yapping and taking photos.. There was a radio station meet and greet also.. Radio station guy was there also.. kept checking wristbands and asking where we came from FAN CLUB !!
they opened up the magic backstage gate and in we went. I noticed a canopy set up with a small fan blowing on a table or box or milk crate sorry I can't remember that.. Security Mike started handed out the cards to pick up your photo on line and when he came to us I stuck out my hand and he said "Hey you should know the drill by now you have alot of these" and smiled and giggled ! I laughed back and kept laughing when he looked our way keeping everyone in line !
My turn... I noticed that everyone was just in and out.. I said no way.. I first went to Robby and he said to me Hey I know you ! I said you do and he said I sure do I shook and hugged him at the same time then Johnny said sure darlin I know you ! I wanted to drop dead right then and there.. I shook and hugged him hard then I forgot about Mike and giggled I shook and gave Mike a big hug then back to Johnny... I said to him we were wondering about a NYE show and he said you know what we don't even know yet and I said you sure.. cause we were wondering.. I told him how much him music touches me and I love this band to death he giggled and said he knows.. Hugs again squeezes this time.. I really looked at him this time and wanted to photograph it in my mind and it was as if I were looking at his soul.. Weird right his eyes were piercing and he was totally amazing !
the other meet and greets went and I made them last as well but I never had that experience before like I couldn't remember anything but this time was different.. They were saying time for the photo he put his arm around me and said ready and I said no ! I said can I have a double hug.. (Like where did I get that from?) anyway he said sure and that was the hug and I held on tight and after it was taken I just didn't want to say good by ! but I did but not for one last hug !
Sorry so long !
To the show?
How can you even think after that? We had front row everyone was all over the place at that time I found my place Susie was already there and she had her huge posters and I asked can she put them inside the rail and the security guy next to me was a doll I had an aisle so he was there fighting off everyone who tried to make up front.. and believe me they try a few time Sec Mike came over and security had to be changed.. Everyone got into the music there was a side where above like hanging off a rail where I guess if you bought lawn tickets you don't have a seat so you can be where you wanna be. Johnny played into the crowd he loved it !
I brought a sign I took a pic of it and he gave me a shout out to the girl who came from NY and he said something about Buffalo fans would be in the back gettting drunk something like that maybe someone recorded it cause he was gonna go into yap mode !
I got a Korel pic and we saw Damage before the show and he handed me a pic too !!
Johnny wore a long sleeve black shirt and was soaking wet by the end of the night but let me tell you I don't know how he does it..
After we went to the buses cause we saw where they were.. We waited a long time Sec Mike came out and was trying to shoo everyone away and make believe like they were leaving.. or left.. Yeah right they didn't leave or were leaving that soon..
Long story short Mike came out to take pics and sign some stuff. He saw me and said Hey didn't I see you earlier ! I said you know it I just can't leave yet ! I didn't wanna hog him so he went to take photo with someone else and then went back by the other crew.. we walked a few more feet and there was Korel and Mike and some of the crew just hanging out. I started to say lets call Korel to come over no one wanted to so I did.. He came over and said hi I said you are awesome and can I have a photo with you and he said only if Mike can be in it as well ! I said come on lets do it !
then he went back to his convo with his crew and Mike stayed talking with us for a while there only like 5 of standing there and I asked him everything I can think of.. He said he knows of all the fans that follow them and he appreciates all of us and he did say he reads in words that he reads the boards to see what our input is.. I said I live breath goo !! He laughed ! I said what was Johnny drinking in the cup in the Home video he said probably some gatorade.. Ohhhh the video I made i recorded from my tv form the VH1 interview M1-5 Lounge links to this video on their home page!!
I told him that and we talked about the place ! I said I know I live in NY and have worked in NYC lots and know the area and the clubs can be awesome ! I said I loved the 5 questions and just everything ! Ohhh please tell Johnny to ditch the long sleeves cause He looked like he was gonna pass out on stage tonight from the heat....
So there you have it anything I think of I'll add.. I'll post pics under here
