With that being said...I will only state this and move on!. I'm DISGUSTED at the fact that on here and even while standing near the buses that I heard people get angry about the fact that the guys didn't come out and greet the fans. How dare anyone think they are entitled to meet any of them. Statements of.."We made you famous, you SHOULD meet us" is the most AGGRIVATING thing I've heard. What makes you so special?? NOT A DAMNED THING!
Before I keep going on and on about the stupidity of people...lol
Here's MY review.
Those of you who now know me...and are part of the CODO family got to see me in rare form the day of the concert!
The radio station was giving away one last set of M&G's and held a contest for it.
I was bound and determined to at least enter and see what we had to do to get the 'Golden Ticket'. So as it happens, we are told (maybe about 20-30 people) that we will be playing 'DAUGHTRY SAYS'. I am thinking to myself..I'm so not good at this. I am sick with some odd head cold and whacked out on sinus meds and I'm going to mess this up, is all I kept thinking. So we commence with the contest, making complete idiots out of ourselves.
Clucking like chickens, patting our heads rubbing our tummys and hopping on one leg, singing "It's Not Over" among other silly things. It's finally down to 2 people. ME and my fellow CODO 'Raine. All I keep thinking is..I'm not giving up and I know she's thinking the same thing. So as time passes and the DJ's are frustrated that they can't shake either of us. It comes down to a trivia contest. We answer questions one at a time, never being shaken and never stumping either of us. Until the dreaded question that comes to me. The ONE thing I didn't know about Chris and have never read ANYWHERE was..."If Chris wasn't in a band, what would his dream job be?" WHAT? I DON'T KNOW THIS?? HOW CAN THAT BE??? So I have no answer, 'Raine doesn't know either...so we continue on. The next question goes to 'Raine and she win's the M&G's. I'm happy for her and in true Daughtry fan style (cuz we are KIND to eachother) she tries to take me with her. But the radio station only has a pair of the passes. 'Raine brought her daughter and so it was right that she took Zoe. I love the fact that 'Raine was willing to take me and will never forget the sweet gesture.
On to the concert we go...I'm so excited, the seats are good, but I'm still spoiled from when they first were here in Colorado Springs. Me up front, just mere feet from the guys. I can honestly say, that the fair was so amazing, all the stage production compared to the show at the Black Sheep. I was torn as to which I liked better. But let's be serious, I liked being up close and personal.
Opening with my absolute favorite song.."Crashed", sent me into orbit as if I wasn't nearly there anyhow just by being in the presence of such an amazing band.
The song Joey and Chris did, Soundgarden's "Fell On Black Day's". OMG, every single hair on my body stood up, I got chills and almost started to cry. AMAZING JOB GUYS!
The rest of the concert was just that, AMAZING. I loved how Chris used the megaphone and loved seeing the interaction of the guys on stage. I'm sad that JP wasn't able to be there, but Jeff (I think that's what he said his name was) did justice.
The only unfortunate thing was, with all the security that was around, none of them did anything about people standing on chairs, standing in the isles or swarming around the edge of the stage where other's couldn't see. But of course..true to MY form, I complained and got it rectified as far as the stupid woman standing on her chair in front of me.
After the show, a couple of us tried going by the busses and there was such a crowd. But we ran into Brian and Jeff and got a picture with Brian and I wanted one with Jeff but he darted off somewhere. Brian is so sweet and such an easy guy to be around. After standing by the bus for a half hour, we decide we should go. The guys are tired, and needed to rest up for the long drive and show the next day in Ilinois so we figured they weren't going to come out. Plus...the fact that the busses were starting to back out was our first clue..lol To be honest, I've met Chris before and he is so genuine and so incredibly kind hearted, I was ok with not meeting him again. I really wanted to meet Joey and Josh, but it wasn't in the cards that night so it was time to go home.
As we start to leave, 'Raine stops and say's she has something for me. She pulls out an 8x10 promo shot she was given during her Meet & Greet that is signed by all of the guys (minus JP of course) and hands it to me. She got two, and thought enough about me to give me the second one. I LOVE IT! (thanks again girl)
I had such a great time that night and I'm so glad that I met my fellow CODO'S and got to meet Bernadette who drove up from NM. This forum has allowed me to make friends I wouldn't otherwise meet. I'm grateful for this site and everything Karen and Sara do and all the other's that help keep this page up and running.
Take care everyone! and Keep Rockin' it..DAUGHTRY STYLE
