Well, finally I have something to write about. The St. Norbert's show was of course great, becuase the VF are so amazing. I was dead center front the whole show. The crowd was a little anoying because they were more interested in getting out of there to start drinking, than listening to any good music. The band played great though. After the show I was determined to finally meet the band. My friend and I hung out back when we finally saw a man who we convinced to let us in. I concentrated more than anything on being polite.... I told him I just wanted to meet then for a sec, that they were my absolute favorite band, and he was very understanding. We chatted for awhile... when I brought up American Music and you Pat I was instantly in with them. =] Then Guy walked right by! He was just halarious.... he gave me a huge hug, and took a picture with me. He told me he'd take a picture with me any hour, min, or sec of the day. =] Gordon and Brian were right behind him..... I tried to be breif to not be a bother, and just complimented them. I got a quick autograph and picture, and said goodbye. I swear I almost died though! Oh, i never thought that i would actually shake their hands! Sorry that this was so long, but I can't get over the excitement I felt seeing them walk out in front of me. They were all really cool to me..... I think it helped that I tryed to stay calm, and that there was only two of us. Anyway, that is all. I loved it, I loved the music, and loved to finally meet them!!!!!!!!! alanama1 -Pat.

SaYs: You are so structured. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Re:Halloween ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ok, i've been stuck in school too for a while. but here we go. my ideas for the halloween show: 1) nuns. the whole lot of 'em. 2) they could wear those great outfits on the cover of "Rock!!!!!" (i feel bad for those of you who haven't seen these picture.) 3) they could wear underoos. guy would be aquaman. brian would be superman. gordon could be the flash. i miss my underoos. (sniff) 4) devo. those pots on the head would be so great. that's it for today. i think that would be neato. -Drew -thenewkid80 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
