Don't worry, I'm with the band
Last night was freakin amazing.As one of my birthday presents, my parents got me a ticket to see my favorite band, The All American Rejects, in concert at ODU. Headlining the tour was Fall Out Boy, another totally kick ass band. I took my friend Jackie with me downto the concert.
Well, doors opened at 5:30, so we got there about 3:30 to wait in line since it was general admission. We weren't even the first ones! We were about 20 people back. But one of the local radio stations was out doing music and giveaways to keep us entertained, so that was cool.
So the DJ from the radio station comes over to the crowd with a huge megaphone and announces that they are doing giveaways if you have "The Zone" (the radio station's name) somewhere on you. One of the giveaways was: backstage passes to have dinner, an acoustic performance, and a photoshoot with the All American Rejects.
So he yells into the crowd: "First one that can show me an ID saying it's their birthday today wins." Not my birthday, so I keep listening. "First one that can show me a quarter dated 1979" Nope, not here either.
About 15 minutes later they start the giveaway up again.
"First person who shows me an object with an American Flag on it wins!"
Lucky for me, I had bought stamps the day before. The cheap generic kind with the American Flag on it. And had them. In. My. Wallet!
So, I definately won Jackie and I backstage passes!!
It was so amazing.
"Dinner" was actually them feeding us sandwichs while we were waiting for the band.
"The Acoustic Performance" was one song, but freakin amazing cuz there was only about 12 people there, and I was sitting literally 2 feet away from them. 
Then we got to get autographs and get pictures:
Us with Tyson:
With Chris:
With Nick:
And with Mike:
Needless to say, I was in heaven. This was the third time meeting them! And Tyson told me he remembered me from when I almost broke my nose the last time cuz it was on his birthday!
The concert was AMAZING. We didn't get down in the pit cuz we didn't feel like getting stomped and we had just had a private performance so who cares, right? We were up about 15 rows or so and had a great view of the show. It was so awesome!!!! What a great way to end the semester!
COME BACK TO VA, GUYS!!! YOU ROCK MY WORLD!!
XOXO,
Jessica
