Meeting them definitely. Maybe telling Duncan it was midnight in Toronto and that Burn had just been released to which he said "really? Hey Jer it's midnight." That was pretty awesome. Also, the first time I met Raine I asked if I could get a picture and he said "absolutely" afterwards he looked directly into my eyes like he expected me to say something and I froze and all I could get out was "Thank You." He said "You're Welcome" and walked away. I'm so dumb! :wall:

favorite OLP moment?
You know, there's a few moments that i'll never forget.
Ranking number 1 is my first OLP show. I first started listening to OLP at age 11, they quickly became my fav band but was too young to go to any shows. When i was 14 me and my brother went to my first show, and it was a night i'll never forget. We were stuck ALL the way in the back, couldn't see a thing (literally), but I didn't mind, I was too happy to be hearing the band I admired and looked up to live...it was one of the best nights of my life.
#2 was meeting OLP for the first time when I was 15....and of course this year.
# 3 hearing AF live in september ...man i think everyone in the place heard me screaming my lungs out when I heard the intro
#4 Seeing them in 2002 at the Webster Theater in CT. They played 22 songs that night, one of them being thief. I just remember me sitting on a little ledge near the stage and just soaking it all in. I kept thinking how the band made the crowd feel like they were apart of the show, and how I never saw another band put that much effort into making their fans feel appreciated. It was the first show where I really noticed every little detail that makes an OLP show so special..

How many OLP shows have you been to?
i think 8 maybe 9

hardcore or softcore?

hardcore OLP fan? definately. hardcore creed fan ? i think not ( DIE CREED DIE)

Any CMers that you know in real life or have met at a concert? post their usernames
never met any, i've spoken to a few on the phone...( remember the mass phone calls we used to have) hahahah . But anyway, I will be meeting some at the massey hall shows in march! can't wait

and finally, is there any other info that you wish to reveal about yourself?
if you know me, you understand my love for OLP, and for music. that is all.
