Hey everyone! Well, I just got back from my only second Lifehouse concert ever! (kinda sad..) Well, this is just the overview of how it went on with my backstage passes and everything, and I think it may be a little long! But enjoy!
So my friend and I arrive on the scene (supposed to be there at 7:00, so we get there around 6:30) but I guess if you had the special "meet and greet" things or whatever, then we had to wait for all of the winners to come before we could go in. So my friend, Becca, and I are standing by the radio station van like they had told us, but no one is there...so we decided to go into the office/window/ticket sale place for the theatre. And I walk in there, and lo and behold, Serge is standing right there behind the counter! Ok, I promised myself I wouldn't forget what I was going to say, but it was the first time that I had actually ever SEEN any of the guys in up-close real life. So, naturally, I forgot everything I was ever going to say to him, and just sorta stand there and smile at him. Oh gosh, it was horrible! But he was just like, "Hi?" lol And so I said "hi"back and everything, and some guy who was there with Serge was just laughing and then he says "hah! Serge, you only get the girls who smile at ya! " So I was embarassed, but it was cool. Then we found out we WERE supposed to wait by the van, so we get out of there and just hang out waiting for the other winners to show up.
Finally, after about 45 min. ther other group shows up. So we go around to the back of the theatre and they take some pictures of us all for the radio station website or something like that. Then the stage people come out and told us all that we needed to go inside and the guys were in there. So we go in the door, and they were like, RIGHT there. The people set up this overturned giant box thingy for them to autograph on, and they give us all promotional posters for them to sign. Which I thought was really cool because 1. it was a poster I was contemplating buying off of ebay, so now i don't have to, and 2. becasue that meant I had a new poster for my wall AND it'd be autographed! So we get those and I was first in line *hehe* and I place my poster down for them to sign. And I'm sorry, but they sorta reminded me of piranhas, because they all bent down and started signing my poster at the exact same time, and you all know how quickly they sign things now days. So I just amused my self for a few seconds with that. Then they all looked up, and Serge looked at me and said, "Oh hey! It's you again! How are ya?" So I told him that I was doing excellent and asked if I could get a picture with the whole band. So the I got in the middle of them all and we all smiled and did normal things ya do for a picture. But it was my LAST picture on that roll, and I was soo depressed...of course though, I had another roll. The mean guy just wouldn't give me time to change rolls before I left for more pics with the guys...
Anyways! After the picture, Serge asked me what was wrong, lol, and I just told him I was nervous cause it was my first time meeting them, and that I've been a fan for oh, 2 and a 1/2 years, and whatnot. and he just laughed and was really sweet the whole time. He just shook my hands a couple of times, told me not to be nervous, he was glad I could come, and so on and so forth. I didn't really get a chance to talk with any of the other guys though... they were too preoccupied signing other things and taking pictures I guess. But I did get Jason to sign this picture that I recieved from a friend in Germany of when she met them. So I guess I talked with him, but only briefly.
After we had to leave, they gave us tickets to go into the actual concert place, and so we went around and got in through there. It was realy haerd getting up to the front though, because there were a lot of rude people actually and they would not let us through for the life of them...but then we found this group of guys, all about who were, I swear, at LEAST 6 foot, in front of us! So we just started talking with them and everything, and it turned out that they were friends with Serge and Jason from back when they played at the Malibu Vinyard and were going out with them after the show that night to hang out. So they saw how much we wanted to get ahead of them and everything, so they let us go in front, which was really sweet of them.
All of the pictures that I took during the show and metting and everything I'm getting developed tomorrow and hopfully I can scan them on my computer to show you guys...if ya wanna see them and all. We were actually really close though, like, one person in front of me and the gate/bar close
The opening band, Fiction Plane, they were realy good. I really liked a lot of their music and they had a very good stage presence. But when Lifehouse came out, omg, amazing!!! Lol! They were soooo good! Jason was absolutely wonderful, and they all did so well. Sean, did and awesome job on his guitar! I had never seen him play before, and really amazed me for the most part. I couldn't write down the setlist, but it was the same as what someone previously stated on here. During the show, the guys that were behind us, kept yelling out for "Simon" between songs, you know we ALL wanted to hear it, but Jason didn't play it... Then one of the guys yelled out "Storm" and Jason was all, "Dang! You guys know ALL of our old songs, huh?! Well, too bad, I wanna play something new tonight! " It was really funny! And yeah. That's all! I had the best time of my life, but now I wish I could do it all over again! It is rather sad after concerts!
