we had "soundcheck party passes" and we walked in and met Joe, Chris, Mike, and Spencer. We asked Chris how the sound check party passes worked. But he had no idea and said that they had gotten there late and never had a soundcheck. we walked away and chris called his tour manager, and neither of them had any clue about it. So Chris and his tour manager found us and told us to follow them, so we did. They brought us backstage and into one of those little rooms where bands hang out when they are not preforming. We (me,shauna, Katie) sat down on their couch.. the tour manager offered us all food and everything, but we didnt take it.. i think we were a little in shock. Chris said there was supossed to be pizza so he promised next time there would definatly be pizza. we ended up staying in that room for 2 hours, and NO OTHER fans were up there. Chris talked to us a lot and he was saying how the Bubba Mac Shack was the greatest place ever and he wants to play there again and rob agreed. he told us childhood memories from Ocean City and told us tour stories and everything. Joe was telling us how much he loves Hot tea and Mike was talking about chicken cheese steaks, while him and spencer were eating the biggest sub and fries of all time. spencer almost threw it all up. Rob told us all about how good of a driver he is and he played guitar for a while. Shauna said that she liked Dont Look Down so she got to meet the singer and he kept on asking us about his outlfit, because he didnt know wether to put the colar up or down. Spencer went into his bag and pulled out clothes... im thinking "oh what is he going to change?"....yep, he ended up getting completely dressed in front of us.. yeah.. i didnt want to look but i glanced once, i thnk shauna looked.. he has chicken legs. Rob accidently sat on my arm....that was a hightlight. i asked chris what was going on with drive-thru and he said. "I dunno, ask Stefanie... her and richard are coming, I called them and Stefanie said they were coming.. then you hear richard in the backround saying (imatating voice) thats sooooo farrrrr." Shauna saw Joe later and he said they never came. Chris was like. "Ace is coming too... you guys know Ace?" Then they talked business for a while. It was really cool to learn about it all. At 3:30 it was time for them to go on stage. Chris and Rob invited us to go on stage with them so we watched them from the stage with some of their friends. They were awesome, Chris talked to us later and let us stay up there for Dont Look Down too. Ace showed up with his giirlfriend but only stayed for a few minuties and we didnt get to talk to him. Chris came up to us and said goodbye, shook our hands. wispered in my ear (because it was loud) he said "Next time we'll play in South Jersey" We said bye to Spencer and Mike. Walked out bought Merch. went in Talked to Joe, he said we can do it again next time we're in town.. just come find us. we left. stood in lobby waiting for my aunt and Mike saw us while he was pulling equidment.. and he said hi again. we left. awesome night. i am so thankful. Chris pretty much took care of the whole day and never left us alone.
