So yesterday was pretty awesome though. On the way to Reno I got to listen to a interview on Sirius Radio with Shinedown from the other day. So then we got to the hotel. There was like three hours to blow before the meet and greet. So we were going down to the arcade to play some games (we as in me, my mom and my dad) and we ended up passing Zach Myers (Shinedown guitarist for all you newbies), whom happened to be coming back from a workout. Hehe. I was wearing my Shinedown T-shirt so he said hi and I said hi as he walked past. Purdy cool.
Anyways, 5 o'clock came around. They called our names and gave us the wristbands. There were only 27 people going to meet them! And we were three of them!!! Jake led us backstage and had us all stand in a line. He gave us instructions and handed us all pictures for the band to sign and then went to go get the guys. I think... I almost either stopped breathing or almost started jumping up and down like a bunny wabbit.
Then they CAME OUT. Awwwwwww yeah. As a side note, they're shorter than I though they'd be. They're all around my height, and I'm like 5'6"ish. It's so awesome. Eric and Barry started on one side of the line and Zach and Brent started on the other. We were right in the middle of the line(:
They guy right next to me was an older man and he and Brent were really funny. He said "Your oldest fan." And Brent was all, "Oldest? Oh no way. You don't look a day over 30. I'm 34 and you look younger than me."
Then Brent came to me and shook my hand. I handed him the picture and our Sound of Madness album to sign. (After playing a game of which one?! haha) Zach said he recognized us when he was all sweaty and breathless. Eric has a really cool hat on :) And Barry was really nice. I like his hair. Actually I like all the guys' hair..
Oh then we got in line to get pictures. When it was our turn, my dad asked if they could say happy birthday to me. Even though my birthday isn't for a few months, it was an early present! They ended up all singing happy birthday to me! It was so amazing. My favorite band in the world, my favorite people, singing to ME... <3
We got a really really awesome picture and then they had to leave. Still, amazing backstage epicness.
And you know what? I want to meet them again. And again. And again. It'll never get old. They're the awesomest guys ever. So nice, and friendly and funny. And genuine. One of the most important things you could ask for in a band!!!!
Here's us, me and the band and mom and dad. I'm the girl in the middle, in between Brent and Zach :)
All right I have a lot more to say but its time to watch Person of Interest. More next time bye :)
