Hey people first off i would like to say HI since i havent been on since like forever!

Anyways this has been the best week of my life! Ok it all started 4/15/02. I traveled all the way to Lowell MA to see my favorite band NO DOUBT! I thought it was going to be bad becuase we got a flat tire as soon as we hit the arena and the line wrapped around the building. But once we got in we were checked for security and stuff and were told to throw away our oranges ( i brought them to symbolize TRAGIC KINGDOM) Well anyways we saved one of them and rushed to the arena floor. To get to the front we just stepped over people saying we were looking for "Johnny"

Well, anyways the show starts and everyone is shoving and pushing and Gwen tells the band to stop playing to make sure the crowd is ok...ok so the show goes on and I'm holding up the orange so they will recoginize me at the show in NYC on 4/17. Well, then the show is "over" but not really when ND comes back out and are now taking posters people have made for them so i was like " GET ME ON YOUR SHOULDERS!" and i was screaming on the top of my lungs for Gwen to take my orange and everyone was chanting TAKE THE ORANGE so she finally takes it and points it in the air and the crowd goes psychotic and she throws it back--i'm just psyched she took my orange! Then this guy goes onstage and I'm like dude i deserve to go up. So once again I'm on my friends shoulders begging to get on stage AND I DOOOOOOOOOOOO, YEA BABY! Usually fans go up there to hug the band and then leave but no i stayed up there for the whole song (spiderwebs), i was on the drum stage slapping my butt then i jumped on the main stage and was performing like Gwen, man it was so awesome! The best time of my life! after the show everyone came up to me like i was famous and was like "can i touch you or can i hug you" i was like YEA MAN WHATEVER!

Ok i'm not done yet, then on 4/17 i got on TRL and they said dude we remember you and i was like going craaaaaaaaaaazzzzzzzzzzy! Then i went on line for their concert that night and so many peeps recognizied me which was awesome...then during the show for DONT SPEAK they filmed me singing to it which was way rad! Then after the show my friends and i waited for the band and we saw Cindy LAUPER which was just too cool, i was like "dude come here!" but instead she danced for us and then mooned us, lol that was awesome then my night ended and this way long journal entry comes to a close!

I love meeting the band, it's so great! You were up there and bustin loose for them, that must have been so so so fun. You sound like you really like No Doubt. On different occasions I've been able to meet some famous people. I met Tony Hawk and Andy McDonald the famous skateboarders. Tony was SO NICE. He's the best, he even signed something for me. That same day I also met Tony Sly, the singer from No Use For A Name. He came and talked to us, and then went to get a burger...I have more stories, too

I also met the whole band Shades Apart, and the bass player was the coolest--Kevin was his name. They all signed a Shades Apart sticker I had with me. Just recently I met the bass player and drummer from HomeGrown, and they were soo cool, and so funny. They were like, "thanks for supporting us", and signed the poster I just bought of them. The bass player made horns on his picture, and a halo, too. I love meeting famous people, unless they are jerks. I met Arlo Eisenburg, a famous inline skater, and he was just a jerk. Maybe someday people will be all excited to meet all the guys in our band. Hopefully we'll play a show soon. We have lots of new stuff in the works, and a couple new cover songs, too.

well I have to say.. your crazy for doubt.. and that its an awesome story!

I recently saw a bunch of bands at the skate and Surf fest in Asbury park . i'm sure many of you went...Anyway,... I went with a band from long Island drawn from endings so i had more access than the average show goer....(by the way check out there site i designeed it.. www.drawnfromendings.com) back to the story... MIDTOWN just finished and DASHBOARD CONFESSIONAL was about to come on and i was waiting to get on stage... people are freaking out! the is crowd growing anxious.. some of the peace keepers are saying only sertain passes to get on stage i had a pass but not the special one i guess. SOOOo i 'm like OMG! i need a pass. I HAVE TO SEE DASHBOARD AHHH!.... this little guy little But OMG! so cute with huis shaggy hair is like here.... Little do i know until I am done talking to him about cars or something retarded like that.. It's the Drummer from Thursday... ok cool.. then Chris comes on Stage, the crowd FREAKS!... And well I am pretty darn excited too... I am only like 15 feet away from him.,, It was the most amazing thing to be on stage and look out just to see all those people singing. AMAZING!

I luckily had my video tape i was able to shoot about a quarter of a song before the guy cam e and said "I don't think you want me to keep that tape do you?" but it was worth it.. i will try to get it posted on here. So everyone can see.
