Ok, so I've known for some time now *as has everyone who knows me* that I am a huge Daughtry fan. I know every song word for word, I crank up the radio when they come on, they are my screensaver at work...a true fan I am.
But, I really didn't realize how very much Daughtry has affected me until Wednesday, July 10th. I had GREAT pavillion seats to see the guys at the Nickelback concert in Cuyahoga Falls. I made sure to get off work early and even threatened to leave my son's girlfriend behind so I could get there early so I wouldn't miss them hitting the stage. I'd been to many concerts at this venue and had NEVER left so early and never had a problem getting in prior to the start of the show.
Well, after 3 HOURS of sitting in traffic and watching the minutes tick away, I realized that the whole reason I had bought tickets to this show was to see Daughtry. I never heard them play a note, and I was devastated! I honestly wanted to cry and had I not had my son and his girlfriend with me, probably would have! As much as I love Nickelback and Staind, I wanted to go home. Luckily I stayed and at least got to see the guys come out onto the stage during Nickelback's set *it was the highlight of my evening*.
I've realized that I am more than just "a fan". I am much more than that. I am a DAUGHTRY FAN!!!
Daughtry's music has touched my soul, and I am blessed!!

Rock~On Daughtry!!

*UPDATE* Decided to buy tickets to see Daughtry in Columbus in early August to make up for missing them. THE BEST CONCERT I HAVE EVER BEEN TO!! We were able to meet some of the guys and get a couple of autographs *over the fence*. Chris was just as I imagined him to be, humble and sweet.
It was nice to be able to share something like that with my son. Let's face it, not too many 15 year old boys will hang out with their mom! Thanks to Daughtry we have a great memory to share! Thank you guys for that!
