Ok this is probably going to have a lot of and then's and umms and
uuuuhhhhs, lol's, omg, amazing, rad's and awesome's please excuse my
foolish state.
A little history on the months, weeks, days hours
to this concert. I won tickets off sophie I had tried alllll week I
bought a ticket the day just in case I didn't win. The last hour of the
last day for the contest I won! cool! Thanks
RadioSophie.com (request Gavin's song!)
So
Gavin finally decides to join twitter...I hardly ever "tweeted" then he
gets it and LOL I becoming a twittering nutcase. (sorry Gavin) He
responds to a question I ask (not directly ) I was in awe then the
following week he sends me a direct message and that was even ..wow lol
So I have been "harrassing" him on twitter ever since and it paid off
(in my eyes) for me, this comes later at my meet and greet.
About
3 weeks ago lambie posted the KPRI meet and greet and that day I called
in and won the meet and greet I answer the question who did Gavin marry
in 2002..duh right? Can't believe I got through on a cellphone. Thank
you

(once again request!) Incredible I was IMPATIENTLY ANTICIPATING this
day and when the time drew closer I was feeling sick and nervous lol
So yeah there is my "history"
The day finally came yesterday and the long wait all these months was soooo worth it OMG. Let's go...
I
got to House of Blues with my best friend at 20 til 6pm and there was
only two girls waiting..cool. but it really didn't matter because we
had to go to and meet the people from the radio station at 7:30 for the
meet and greet. We were able to hear the soundcheck for Chemicals soo
awesome to hear it! It made me even more amped up and sick! lol finally
after the wait and listening to this older obnoxious drunk woman
knowing the doors opened at 7pm, saying to hurry up and open the doors
beacuse she had to pee, they let us in. We pretty much ran to the bar
and grabbed a drink. I walked over to the stage and I notice a familiar
face...it was Dora from the member forum! We had been emailing
eachother that day saying we wanted to meet up so she was sooooo nice
and cool! We also met her husband and he was nice and very supportive
of her loving gavin ;)
My friends met us at the stage and held
mine and my best friends spot near Dora and we went to the meet and
Greet. They handed us Promo pictures to have signed and I took my BUSH
book from sixteen stone tour there were about 3 sets of groups waiting
to meet him and when we were the next to go inside we peeked in to see
him and wow just wow lol. (like I have never seen him) So our turn to
go in and there is one group of older women talking to him i turned to
my friend and said omg omg I am not going to be able to say anything it
was a mutual feeling between her and I lol. I was thinking how are
these women able to talk to him so smoothly..I'm an idiot. I knew I was
going to choke up, and I did. LOL
My turn-
My meet and greet
He was so incredibly nice to me! I am so so so happy right now I am
beaming everytime someone asks me or textes me how the show went I just
smile and say it was unbelievably awesome. I said Hi I'm Athena and he
remembered me and twitter (seeeee lol) Gavin you're awesome and I hope
if I ever meet you again I will remember how to speak and have a
conversation like any other human being. I never thought this was going
to happen to me but when we walked away I was so happy my eyes teared
up and my best friend gave me a hug ...man we were on cloud 9 the whole
time and still are! We headed back to our saved spots right at the
barrier. I got to stand by Dora the whole time right up front which was
fucking awesome!!!!!!! Nico Vega was amazing! my cousin and her husband
are now fans of them. She's an excellent performer she's so gorgeous
too!
Btw I hate HOB security they are assholes. The security guy
took my camera other people were taking pics and he took mine. YES I
wasn't supposed to be taking pics but...well ya know you'd feel the
same way. so to HOB security from last night...go F yourselves. hah ok
done with that. He gave the camera back seeing how upset I was but he
gave it to my cousin and said not to give it to me. Luckily my best
friend had her camera still she took a good amount of video and
pictures. The set list is also on there...I didn't get a copy no one
would get me one..whatever hah. I took a pic of it and told the lady
that had it to join the forum hahha
http://picasaweb.google.com/athenakg/GavinRossdaleHOB6409SanDiegoCa?feat=directlinkThey
played Fugitive first fuck it was so fucking amazing the energy was
insane when they came out! It was better than the show in LA for the
sidekick grammy concert.(obviously because of the type of shows they
were) I can't really tell you exactly how I felt on every song he
played because I was so pumped with adrenaline the whole time and I was
in my own world. I am not good at reviews I can't go over every song I
can get somewhat forgetful on things when I am feeling this way. But I
can tell you overall they were completely AMAZING INCREDIBLE
UNSPEAKABLY FUCKING BRILLIANT last night. The performance..WOW everyone
in that room I felt was connected to this amazing band. They really do
give it their all and god definitely Gavin, he doesn't lie about
performing as if it were his last show ever. He came up to Dora and
grinded his guitar on the barrier that was HOT and intense and I of
course had to place my hand on his while he was grinding the barrier.
(excellent pic of him and her while that was going on) and He came down
and placed his hand/arm on my shoulder while he was playing and he
leaned on me his hair was dripping on me (literally hahha it's cool!)
and his head was on top of mine...fuck it was an incredible show it
blew me away and the other people I was there with.
After the
show we waited and waited but not too long and the HOB security once
again were being so stupid they were making stupid remarks like..Oh
sorry he went out the other way hahha! ugh and standing like they were
"tough" uhhh no.
When gave came out he was very apologetic for taking a long time to
come out (according to him) but he didn't take long to come out at all.
He saw us first and we left quickly after. He is the sweetest guy! god
he's so rad!
I have 2 more shows to go!
