I got to meet my fave band at the Rave Bar. FACTORY 81!!! I was first row! I got REALLY good pictures of them. I was so excited when I got there. UnLoco was the first band to play. I was front row, right up on the stage. :) The lead singer was hott! I didn't get any pics of them performing...I didn't have my camera at the time. It was in Justin's pocket...grrr. And I didn't wanna go get it cuz then I'd lose my spot. Then Insolence played...heh, I didn't like they're music that much at all. It was like sum rap shit...they sounded like Cypress Hill. I got my camera from Justin cuz he made his way to the front and gave it to me. :) I took a pic of the hott guitarist in that band though! hehe...
FACTORY 81 was setting up for the show. While Nate was walking around onstage setting up and testing his mic...I got a few pics. I was freaking out when I saw him at first! It was like a dream come true seeing him in person again. (I wasn't that big of a fan when i first saw them in concert.)
They finally got everything 2gether and played. The opening song was "Nanu". Their first single from that CD. :) I took lots of pictures of them, mostly Nate. He looked at me a few times, cuz my flash kept going off, lol. I took a pic of him looking straight at the camera. :) After a few songs, Nate told everyone, "We were supposed to cancel this concert tonite! Wanna know why we didn't? Cuz we've been here 6 times, and this crowd has always been so awesum! We love to play for u Milwaukee metalheads!" It was seriously going crazy in there. It really shouldn't have been in the Rave Bar, it should have been in the actual Rave. But oh well. I had a AWESUM spot right in front. :)
After only playing like 5 songs for the whole time they were on stage...Nate said, "We have to discontinue this set for 2 reasons...Reason #1: I am not feeling well right now. I have a immune system infection. And I had to force myself to play for you guys cuz we just had to see all of our Milwaukee metalheads again! We love you guys here in Milwaukee! Reason #2: We are running behind schedule. But we promise to come back here headlining our own tour and play a whole set for u guys!" So they played Peace Officer as they're end song. :( I wanted to hear the WHOLE set. But I understand how Nate was feeling. He definately was looking pretty sick. His face was so pale and his eyes were all red...he looked like he was gonna puke. Poor baby! :(
After that, I walked around looking for Nate. I wanted a picture w/ him! I couldn't find him! :( SO, I got a whole band pic w/ UnLoco...the lead singer was behind me and he had his arm around my chest in the pic. The pic turned out perfect! :) I talked to him for a while and bought a UnLoco shirt and took sum sample CD's and i got all of their autographes....(Nate was wearing a UnLoco shirt while he was performing....so I HAD to buy the same one he had on...lol.) I found the guitarist from FACTORY 81 signing autographes, so I got a picture w/ him. He's a hottie too!
Slaves On Dope started playing their music. I got sum great pics of the guitarist Kevin from the band. :)
All of a sudden Nate Wallace runs up on stage. I start screaming for him! And he starts singing w/ the lead singer from Slaves On Dope for about 10 seconds. Then he walked off and started signing autographes...he was right in front of me. I froze...I was like in shock...he was standing right there in front of me signing autographes...I was so happy/ excited! So...I finally got the guts to ask him if I can take a picture w/ him. He said yes! :) Then he started walking away...and he yelled, "Follow me!" So I did. As he was making his way through the crowd of fans....fans kept asking for autographes so he had to keep stopping to sign them. Then finally, we got out in the lobby area. No one was in there. And he was like, "Ok, I'm ready for a picture." I smiled so big! =) I asked Nicki if she'd take a pic of me and him...so she did. His arm was around my shoulders. And his head leaned against mine. Oh dear god, and in the pic, his smile is the cutest smile I've ever seen in my life! It looked like he was like blushing...it was so cute. :) He is just so gorgeous! After that, he stayed in the lobby, it was nice and cool in there cuz the outside doors were open. So I stayed out there too and talked to him for awhile. He looked so beautiful...he's just such a wonderful guy, so sweet to his fans, even when he's sick and should be at home getting rest! :)
I went in and out of the Rave Bar...cuz I kept on wanting to see Nate out in the lobby area...hehe. Slaves On Dope were still playing! I was so happy that night...and I almost fell asleep in the car on the way home...I was SO exhausted.
