.Jamboree 2000.

So, for those of you who haven't been lucky enough to hear my long story, complete with the clapping hands and shrieks of excitement, here's the condensed version. Thanks to a whole lotta luck, I got to hang out with Third Eye Blind backstage at Q101's Jamboree before their set. I swear, I'm not making it up. See? Check it out ~

Why? Why? All I wanted was a nice little picture with Arion, my favorite bassist in the whole world... and he blinked!! *sigh*
(I keep telling myself he was just trying to soak in the moment... or something...)

Here I am with Brad, who I'm certain is one of the nicest guys in the entire world.

Aww! So cute! Me and Mr. Rock Star, Tony.

Here I am with the main man himself, Stephan Jenkins.
(He actually had me in a headlock, but you can't really tell from the picture)

.Third Eye Blind's Jamboree Pictures.

Now, just when I thought this whole Jamboree thing couldn't get any cooler, it did! I was surfing around 3eb.com this morning, and came across a whole bunch of pictures from the show! That's right, I was on Third Eye Blind's official website. Here are the best ones. (I've spared you all the random shots of the back of my head, my left shoulder, etc.)

Brad and I chatted about Northwestern... Turns out his sister went there!

Look! There's me! And Tony! And the back of Arion's head!

Me with Arion after their show on St. Patrick's Day. Can't help but wonder if his eyes are open or closed behind those dark shades... : )

My favorite moment of the evening was when I asked him to autograph my Blue liner notes outside after the show, and he was like, "Whoa, it's really dark out here!"
psst... Arion, it's midnight. The sun set ages ago... : )

.I love this picture.

Try as I may, I just can't think of a fitting caption.
