Thought this should go in here...

[07:18] <nikki4982> at the drake, we were all singing parts of the new songs
[07:18] <nikki4982> like... cos we only knew the promosquad and cc clips
[07:19] <smooke> awwww

[07:19] <nikki4982> haha it felt odd
[07:19] <nikki4982> it was like "yeah, i know this song!!!.... wait, no i don't know this part!!"
[07:19] <smooke> hey, at least you got to see the first official performance
[07:19] <nikki4982> haha i'm not complaining
[07:19] <nikki4982> it was fun
[07:20] <nikki4982> that show was... oh man
[07:20] <smooke>

magical?
[07:20] <nikki4982> that, and... small! haha
[07:20] <nikki4982> it was weird being THAT close
[07:21] <smooke>

[07:21] <smooke> no not weird, just magical
[07:21] <smooke> like Disney
[07:21] <nikki4982> haha no, it was weird
[07:22] <nikki4982> i could've put my arm not even fully outstretched out and poked raine's belly
[07:22] <nikki4982> ... that would've been amusing
[07:22] <nikki4982> right mid-song
[07:23] <smooke> :O
[07:23] <nikki4982> maybe he would've giggled like the pillsbury doughboy
[07:24] <smooke> hahaha yeah during Will the future blame us
[07:24] <smooke> Nikki, poke him when he's supposed to say "woo hoo!"
[07:26] <nikki4982> HAHA

Finished this part of my review and I think it's pretty amusing (and so did Smooke on the hub) so I figured I'd post it in here and bump this thread back up where it belongs.

Nikki's super-ridiculously-long review wrote:Next up was "Naveed", which as always, sounded great. Raine had us sing along a lot to this one, stepping forward to the front of the stage (meaning... he was basically on top of me) and holding the mic out for people to sing. This caused the crowd to push forward a bit, and I wound up in quite an awkard position. Because the stage went up to my knees, I basically got pushed onto the stage, but not really cos I was half standing on the ground still. I put my knee on the stage for balance (though I'd been putting my knees on the stage one at a time the whole concert, to give my poor feet a rest). There wasn't really anywhere for me to go (unless I wanted to just jump up onto the stage and that wouldn't have been very cool of me to do), so I wound up with my upper arm/shoulder against Raine's... umm... posterior. I stayed pinned between Raine and the audience for at least a minute, looking at my friends on Steve's side of the stage for help (I was twisted that way cos otherwise my face would've been touching Raine's butt instead of my arm/shoulder HAH). Most girls would probably give anything to be in that situation... but I just felt really really strange. That being said... Raine sure seems to exercise his gluteus maximus lots. Buns of steel, I tells ya! Oy. I feel so wrong typing that. Hahaha. Aaaaaaaaanyway...

If he invited everyone to sing along you should had just jumped up on stage next to him.

Happens all the time with a local band I see often, when they play the smaller stages or local bars, taverns, and watering holes.

nikki4982 · Post by **nikki4982** » 9/9/2005, 6:56 am

OLP =/= local band.

(OK, well... we WERE in Toronto... so technically... but... no.

)

me and melissa should have jumped on stage and started dancing. but we didn't :neutral:

Kicker774 · Post by **Kicker774** » 9/9/2005, 10:23 am

Just because OLP is a big major recording artist doesn't mean their impersonal holier than thou pricks that would kick someone off the stage if they came up.

if it wasn't a sing along and the crowd wasn't shoving or anything then yea theres no reason for it.

But it was a small intamate show for their most dedicated hometown fans, Raine was inviting people to sing, and you were getting shoved up onto the stage, and your good looking. So why not get up on stage for a minute or two next to Raine, when are you gonna get that chance again?

nikki4982 · Post by **nikki4982** » 9/9/2005, 10:25 am

That would've been awesome.

nikki4982 · Post by **nikki4982** » 9/9/2005, 10:25 am

Woah what the... REMed!!! :freak:

Cos I wouldn't wanna be on stage. :lol:

I don't belong up there, and I'm not gonna hop up there just cos I'm a little uncomfortable in the crowd.

oh nikki

you and your unhealthy butt obsessions :neutral:

INTERVENTION!!

nikki4982 · Post by **nikki4982** » 9/9/2005, 12:19 pm

I have no unhealthy butt obsession!!!!! It's not my fault he pushed up against me like that! :lol:

And hey, when someone's butt's against you for like at least a minute, you tend to notice things. :lol:

superrgirll · Post by **superrgirll** » 9/9/2005, 12:21 pm

Nam, it was Raine, not Duncan... don't be jealous.

superrgirll · Post by **superrgirll** » 9/9/2005, 12:23 pm

damn, why can't steve be more like raine.

nikki4982 · Post by **nikki4982** » 9/9/2005, 12:24 pm

He's more observant of his surroundings... which is good, cos it means you can get little Steve smiles while he's on stage. :love:

superrgirll · Post by **superrgirll** » 9/9/2005, 12:24 pm
