experience: After the show we went outside to stand by the bus and Nate
was the first guy to come out! He and Dino went thru the line together.
So after he signed my ticket stub(I couldn't find my cd cover anywhere
at the time...it ended up being in the car *lol*) we were taking pics
of him and he looked up and made the most HILARIOUS face! I was
pleasantly surprised b/c I didn't expect him to do that but it was cute anyway!
hehehe He was very cool, and I hope I can meet him again!

Neil! and then he told me he had used my drumsticks at shows since I
gave them to him. and also I told him he looked like spiderman and we
talked about that movie.

experience: Before the show, nate signed my cd cover. After the show i
met him and he was soooooo funny. I had written "I love Alex" on my
chest and he said all the girls always like alex and its not fair. I
told him that i love him too. So he asked if he could sign any part of my
body and i said "umm....sure. where are ya gonna sign?" He signed his
name right under where alex was written. I told him my friends loved
him too so he signed their chests also. It was a lot of fun and i hope
to see them again in peoria on july 13.

experience: Ummm where to begin...Lets see...I had to go my
grandfathers funeral before this concert so of course on my way to the concert..WE
GET STUCK IN TRAFFIC (AGHHHHH), so I call the Backstage Cafe (we had
dinner reservations) to tell them we would be running a few minutes late
to hold our table. They reply.."Im sorry we cant do that..we are
double booked..we can only hold it for 5 minutes." (IM FREAKIN OUT NOW) So
we get to the parking garage and my friends and I RUN (and I mean HAUL
BOOTIE) across the road..almost get hit by a car..break my
pocketbook...and get to the resteraunt just as they are about to give away our
table! We finish eating dinner and decide to go wait in line..only to find
out that we arent allowed so we go upstairs! I knew their would be a
mad rush to get in line so I told my friend to wait at their stairs so
she could run and go get a place and we would meet her there...Well once
again as luck would have it my cell phone rings (it was my bf) !
and about that time everyone starts running to get in line, so I hung
up on him and ran to find my friends.. (Katie you can relate you were
there) lol! So I find my friends and we all line up outside..we were
about 30 people back and then the long wait to get in the show begins!
Finally after what seemed to be an eternity...they let us into the venue.
I am a HUGE Sean fan so of course..We had to be on the left side of the
stage so we could be in front of him. (all the while im supposed to be
meeting Katie there to do something special for the guys) There are
the 2 old med in front of me and one of my friends so we politely ask
them if they would mind moving so that we could have front row..They
aggred so My friend Anna and I finally got to be in the front WAHOO! The
concert was awesome..Sean was adorably as usual..Alex's voice was sexy as
mess..and the rest of the guys looked pretty dag on good 2! Well after
the concert..I was determined to get Seans set list and lucky!
me I DID! We tried waiting in the venue for a little while h!
oping to get a glimps of the guys..and we did..and I tried to get a
security guard to let me backstage but umm NO that didnt work! So we went
outside and waited with everyone else! My friend told me to go show
this girl a picture I had had blown up of me and Sean from the last
concert and how I had cut my friends out of it..so I did (not knowing that
the girl was Katie whome I was sposed to be looking for). We got
barricaded in as usual and waited for the guys to come out! I got Sean to
sign my picture along with his setlist and my arm..and all the other guys
signed my stelist and arm as well! I asked Nate about his famous "Im
exciting shirt" and why he wasnt wearing it..Thats when I learned the
sad news..That he had retired it! BOO HOO! But all in all the concert
was great..Im going to try and get all 100 and some pictures up and when
I do I will let you know Katie! BOO HOO I MISS SEAN!

experience: After the show (in which all of the members were fricken
amazing,) we went over to the bus area and waited ... and waited .. and
waited. Then Aaron came out and started talking to people. Nate went
in the bus and came back out with a shirt on (damn) and then started
signing stuff. After Aaron took a pic with us, I asked him if we could
take a pic with Nate too (meaning, with him AND nate.) He called Nate
over and then waked away-I, of course, squealed and called him back over.
Nate is so shy! Hes adorable. Then we asked Nate for autographs-he
was so quiet and cute! He was like, "oh the gecko" (I used geico paper
they gave us becuse, like a twit, I left my CD cover at home) and I was
like, "yeah, he's cute," and he said, "yeah, it is kinda cute." Funny
how he resembles the gecko in the pic. Anyways, then he went to sign my
friends stuff (he'd already signed the gecko pad of hers) and she was
like "you already got this [the gecko]" He was like "yeah, but !
I didnt sign this [cd cover] I gotta keep you covered" ADORABLE. He's
v. sweet.

experience:
He was playing during the instrumental segment just before
WYWG and let me tell you, I have never been so in awe of somebody's
drumming ability! He did a drum fill that I know is difficult (well, as
far as I could tell from the few drum lessons I've taken) and did it SO
well! I wonder if he'd be willing to give me a drum lesson...?
