I met DOMINIQUE

"My names Bryan, I'm 16 yrs. old and in a band called Toxic Toast. It's a Mighty Mighty Bosstones cover band, and we do a few of our own songs. My brother Mike did advertising for Hill,Holliday, and advertising company in Boston. During my school vacation one day I got a call and it was Mike, "Hey, I'm going with these John Hancock reps and woundered if you wanted to go to Bertuchis (a pizza place that is VERY GOOD.) It was free food so I said sure. So I got into Boston and I got to the Hill,Holliday place and Mike introduced me to the reps, "John, Tim, Amy, Bill, and Dominique is here some where." Now saying to myself, "Hey I've heard that name before." And then she walked out and she just said "Hi." And then BOOM, I knew who she was, she was in the Olympics, and she was cute. So all I could say was "Hey, name's Bryan." So we got to the pizza place and we sat and talked for a bit about stuff, likes and dislikes, and why she was in Boston (The answer is that she was training in Massachusetts). After lunch I said, "I know your busy and all but, I'm in a band, called Toxic Toast, and we're doing a gig on Thursday, (it was tuesday at the time) at my friends fathers resturant kinda club thingy and I was just woundering if you wanted to come to the show?" She asked her bodyguard guy and he said it was okay and she said she would come. So I wrote down where it was, slipped in my phone number in just in case and asked her, "Have you heard any of the Bosstones songs?" She said she had heard the newest one, The Impression That I Get, so I asked her, "Do you know the words?', she said nope. I said "Okay, I think it would be cool to have you come on up to the stage and sing a little of the song, because you did say you liked to sing a bit and I could write down the words for you." She was shy about the idea at first but after a little reasuring and some beleif in her abilities she was all up for it. So we talked a bit more about my band then thought I'll see you on Thursday night. Nope, On Wensday I get a call from a girl who at first I thought was just one of my friends, and after this person telling me some stuff I heard the day before, and it hit me, this is Dominique. We talked even more about stuff, double checked the directions and the lyrics and said good night and a see ya tommorrow. And then Thursday night came. It was teen night at my freinds fathers club thingy and we usually do something that night and like usual we did. Plenty of friends, people I know, people I don't know, and then Dominique. I showed her where she could sit for the show. I showed her the band and my other friends, most of them were psyced about meeting her and I was glad because everyone who knows me knows that I like to make people happy. So we started our gig and it was a blast. It was one of my bands best shows ever. So we came down to our last song and I called up Dominique and introduced her to the crowd, the crowd being of mostly made up of teens SCREEAMED, I mean a load scream. I asked her if she had practiced what we went over and she said "ya." So I started the song and everything just clicked. She helped out with the second verse and the refrains, even got her to dance a bit. I gotta say, she was awasome. It was a great time meeting her. She was funny and just cool to hang-out with. So the night ended with the only bad thing was that she had to have this bodyguard guy all night. We said goodbye but kept in tuch and when she come to Boston for the John Hancock Tour thing or anything else we always get to talk somehow."
