Hey Rob, boy did you get things backwards. Also You and Paul should kick yourselves. 5-10 minutes after you left, Raine, Jeremy and Mike came out and went to eat. Kim( the other girl) and I spoke with them for a few minutes. It was weird because I walked up to Raine and said I was hoping to see you soon cause I am tired. He smiled and gave me a hug and told me to get some sleep.
As for the show. The six of us met up between 2PM and 3PM( Kim, Tonilynn, Rob, Paul, Me and Cortny) . It seemed we were the only fans there. THese girls from Sony were handing out OLP stickers. THey came back to the front so I aksed for another one and she gave me the pile( must of been a few hundred) so I split them up among the 6 of us. We were let in about 5:30. We made our way up front. There were only 20 people ahead of us anyway. These two girls next to me we asked who they were here to see and they said Moby and Old Lady Peace( yeah real fans)
we had to listen to DJ Jackie for almost an hour. It wasn't bad but after a while I am tired of that music. OLP came on about 7ish. ROb and I were wearing OLP shirts as support and Paul put one of the stickers on his shirt. We were infront of Steve and he was amazing to watch. He would look down at us and make faces or smile. Even Jeremy made faces to us. I think the band enjoyed the fact we were there to support them.
During Naveed Raine climbed up the tower and looked out into the crowd. he said there were alot of people there and could they hear in the back. The band played a great set although short and the people seem to be into them. It was funny because they had a little stage extended for the DJ's and Raine would walk out to the front. Okay we are use to girls trying to grab him, but there was this one guy who was just so in awwe of him. We thought it was funny.
We screamed to have Birdman played when it got quiet and they looked at us. At the end Steve tossed his pick to me( it feel on the ground and the guard wasn't going to give it to me at first till I told him he tossed it to me.) He also tossed out the other picks to the rest of us. This security gurad in front of us( who stood in front of me all night) took the pick and gave it to chesty girl. He would be mean to us but sweet to her.
After the show we hung for a bit. Ran into another girl name KIm. I saw Steve come out and walk toward the back. They haed a barricade between the special standing section and audience. I pushed my way through the crowd till we saw him. He cameover and spoke with us for a few minutes.
I told him that he had to learn Blister for the next tour. To ask Raine to teach it to him. He told me he would teach himself.
I also told him about the *Mazurites* on the CM. He asked what the CM was. I told him have you heard of the CLumsy Congress. He said Yes. I told him the CLumsy Monkey was a message board like that one-made up from old CC'ers.THat there was a support group on here for him and they callled themselves Mazurites.He loved it and asked I stick up forhim. I said yes.
He left to have dinner with a few friends. ROb, Paul, Kim and I jumped over the railing into the special standing room and walked up front to watch Moby. Rob and Paul left. 5 minutes later I saw Raine come out so Kim and I walked up to him. He said Hi, etc. I told him I was glad to see him cause I was tired. He smiled gave me a hug and told me to get some sleep. Jeremy, Mike and Him were going to grab something to eat. I walked out when they left. they walked down the block. I passed them and told them they should of headed up 14th for a place to eat. They said we are hopping in a cab. They crossed the highway and there is this small concret wall. It was funny watching Raine jump over it. Mike and Jeremy stepped over it. There were these 3 girls who sort of followed them across the street but missed them they were in the cab by then.
all in all it was agreat evening. I had a great time with the other NY OLP fans. I will give you guys photos. and I was told they all loved the photo Album I gave them.
WHat more can I ask for. Seeing OLP in my hometown with some great people.
Oh yeah before they did *SOT* I yelled out do you hit. HaHa.
