I just saw the video someone had posted from the concert. I wish we could all live it all over again.

HEY EVERYONE! I HAD A WONDERFUL TIME, I'LL NEVER FORGET IT. LIKE BRANDI SAID WE MOVED ALL THE WAY UP FRONT AND CENTER. I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO GET MY HAND SLAPPED AT THE END. I WAS TOUCHED BY AN ANGEL. BUT ALL I REALLY REALLY WANT IS ONE PICTURE WITH CHRIS. MY DREAMS WOULD COME TRUE. BUT IT WAS GREAT TO MEET EVERYONE. I POSTED THE PICS OF US UNDER ME AND MY FRIENDS AT THE CONCERT. I ALSO POSTED SOME OF MY CONCERT PICS UNDER THE CONTEST AS SOON AS THEY APPROVE THEM THEY SHOULD BE UP. SO CHECK EM OUT. WE DEF HAVE TO MEET UP AGAIN AT ANOTHER CONCERT. TALK TO YOU LADIES SOON.

Once again, Daughtry delivered!! I couldn't imagine them being better than when we saw them in Philadelphia back in March. But, man, somehow they managed to improve on perfection!! The concert was everything we were expecting and then some. I was so happy they got a good reception from the Delaware crowd. We missed Josh Paul, but Vegas did his thing! I got some pretty good pics, but I haven't uploaded them yet. (It took me a couple of months to get my Philadelphia pics on here!!) Our seats were 3rd row section C on the center aisle which were fabulous. But, thanks to my girl Kelly with the quick feet, we moved on up to the front by the barricade(directly front and center!!) This was absolutely necessary, because everyone surged toward the stage. As awesome as our tickets were, we would not have seen a thing once everyone got up front. Our third row aisle seats literally disappeared behind about 10 rows of people. So, from where we were standing we good see perfectly. As I said, the guys were 110% perfect!! They never cease to amaze you! It was nice to meet some people from here at the fair. Jeany L. we were looking for ya between about 6:50 and 7:10 in front of the slots. But, I guess we missed you guys. I'm glad you had a great time though. It sounds like we were standing very close to one another and didn't know it!! I do want to thank the guys for making the night of a certain young boy who was attending his first concert Tuesday night. Kelly and I met his mom, aunt and grandmother at the Philadelphia show and we were told then that he was a big fan. Well, he was able to stand front and center during the concert and was specifically targeted by our Daughtry guys throughout the concert!! He got quite a few things thrown at him from the guys. He's probably still floating on cloud 9!! What a fantastic experience for him!! He'll certainly never forget it, although now whoever he watches in concert next has got some BIG shoes to fill. Maybe he should stick to Daughtry concerts from here on out. Anyone else would just disappoint him!!! Anyway, a big thanks to Daughtry for giving him the experience of a lifetime. And thanks for giving everyone else the concert of a lifetime! (I'm still trying to figure out how they managed to improve on perfection?!?!)

I kept going to the slots hoping to meet everyone but to no luck as you all must know by now. I never thought to go after the concert! ANYWAY.....picture this....an aged 53 yr old woman (me) was right up front and in the middle of the stage! LOL my son got a kick out of his mom being front and center of a mosh pit.My sisters niece,grandson,or nephews wouldn't go up with me! I hope everyone one else got a great view!
Take care

Jeany

Delaware Loves Daughtry!!! Smiling It was great to meet some of you beforehand, too. See ya at the next concert----an arena in Philly or DC perhaps??!!!! K.

Is all I can say. Honestly, the best concert I have been to in years! I saw the throngs of people starting to crowd the front as soon as the lead singer of 12 stones introduced Chris as he came out to sing their song together. I thought about heading up to the front but honestly, I was happy where I was at. Perfect view of everything! My sign even made it up on the big screen a few times! I did have the pleasure of meeting Brandice and DelawarelovesDaughtry (kelly)? /but only after the concert. I was at the casino's but didnt see anyone that looked like they were going to the concert. I am a little bummed that Chris didnt come over to sign any autographs as there were not hords of screaming fans waiting for them...just a small group of us patiently waiting and they kinda just took off in the vans Sad Oh, well, there's always next time!

-Cindy

OMG!!!!!!!!!!! It was fantastic!!!! Just before Daughtry came on...I asked about all the gang crowding the front....they said there was no way to force them back to their seats. SO......I kinda forced my way through the crowd saying my sister needed me. I WAS CENTER STAGE WITH 2 FANS IN FRONT OF ME!!!!!!!!! oOH WHAT A NIGHT.......
I did keep checking for all at the slots but guess I had bad timing. Wish I could have met all of you!

Jeany

But..But..what happens if you dont have very large you-know-whats to smuggle a camera in? LOL. Thanks for the heads up. I am going to take the risk. My camera is not small enough to fit between my two ladies but damn it I am going for the gusto anyway! ...Okay, I'm outta here.

It's finally here!! Can't wait to get off work and get on the road!! See y'all soon!!!!

They said no cameras at hershey, so i didn't take the risk. My phone is new and my camera is a really expensive one that my husband bought me for X-mas. He thinks I'm insane w/ the whole Daughtry thing so I didn't take it. Everyone had camera phones, and a girl next to me smuggled a camera like mine inbetween her very large you know whats! After seeing this and getting very upset that I didn't take the risk I suggest that you all try. I'm still regreting it because i got really close and had no camera!!!! Good luck! & have a great time. Wish i was there!

Be careful what you wish for, cause you just might get it all, and then some you don't want!

See ya soon!

You make it sound so easy,.. and I see myself being a pro in no time. This site is great for helping out!

Jeany

it sounds difficult....but actually pretty easy once you do it a few times. You be a pro in no time....when it comes to posting Daughtry pics, I'm sure you will figure it out right quick!

LOL.........I will have to get help from a computer geek.....if he won't laugh at this ole lady...lol Thanks though..I will try the way you described first!

Jeany

once you upload your pics from your camera (maybe into a photobucket account) all you hafta do is copy the HTML code that is given and paste it into the body of your post.

-Cindy

I will have to learn to post the pics on here...e-mail is the only way I can do it. Hope someone here will give me a few hints!
Jeany

Jeany

and thanks...I pm'd you as well...see ya soon!

I just sent you a private message just in case you were not still on the forum.Wanted to let you know I will be at the slots 6 and 7.....don't want to miss anyone!!
Hours from Daughtry....can we wait that long???

Jeany

you will be missed! I will probably be one of many who will post details ASAP so be on the lookout for them! About the time change for meeting up....7:00 is okay by me. Havent decided on my outfit yet but I think I'm wearing faded black jean capris and probably a black tank or maybe a halter...still unsure. I have long, dark brown hair and am short 5"3'...geez..I sound like I'm auditioning for a singles add. LOL!!!! Just wanted to explain all that so that we kinda have an idea of who we are looking at the slots!

I hope you are not traveling too far...the trafic is a mess when it comes to cleass acts!!!!! Like I said before they will allow you (ok not like we would like) to come close to the stage and take a pic or few.....trust me,they will not let you stay more than 5 or 10 minutes and tht is being nice!!!
OMG I can not wait!!! Brandice I will check out the slots at 7 ...ok? I will be in a gaudy red shirt and jeans and yes my grandson Lane will be my escort. He will have on his black Abscent Element t-s***.

Jeany

Sorry about asking to change. But, Kelly (delawarelovesdaughtry) and I are coming with our 2 best girlies (GIRL'S NIGHT!!!!!) and one of them can't get off until 5. She's tried, but it's not happening. We have about an hour and fifteen minute drive to get to the fair. We wouldn't make it by 6. We'll stop by the slots around 7 to see if anyone's there. It's 8:15 now. This time tomorrow night the music will have started!!!!!!

That shouldn't be a problem with me....see you then!

Hey, Guys. One of our friends has to work a little later tomorrow. We won't be able to get to the fair until around 7. Is it possible to change our meet up time to 7:00? If not, that's ok. I'm sure we'll see you guys there before the concert anyway. We should be wearing white tshirts that say "Daughtry Girls". Leave a post about the time change. Like I said, if it doesn't suit everyone else that's ok. I'll see everyone in about 24 hours!!!!!!!!!

Yes, the good Daughtry weather karma that seems to follow me ( on concert days) is giving us a GREAT forecast for tomorrrow....let's hope that someone out of all of us gets a Daughtry encounter or two! LOL

Hi everybody- thanks for the word on cameras Brandice (and congrats on the VIP!). My friend Mary & I will look for you guys at 6:00 in front of the slots. Looking forward to it! Smiling K.

So, you're not gonna make it to the fair? We'll let ya know how fabulous it is!! As for taking pics, Kelly (delawarelovesdaughtry) wanted me to post that a couple of people she knows went to a concert on Saturday at the fair and they were allowed to take pictures!!! We had been questioning that because the fair site says no pictures. So, it looks like we can take them without having to sneak!! I'm still gonna be prepared with extra batteries, just in case a fair employee decides to be difficult and tell me I can't take pictures. But, if they were able to take pics on Saturday, we should be good for tomorrow. So, are we all still meeting at 6:00 in front of the slots for our group picture? 28 hours to go!!!!!!!!! WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm so envious of you guys(Brandice, Loveyou, Jerseygirl) ect... I hope you all have a blast! It's a good thing this rain came now and not tomorrow. Wish i could be there but Oh well! Get some great pics! Especially you Brandice!

Be careful what you wish for, cause you just might get it all, and then some you don't want!

I don't want to take achance on anyones camera getting taken away so I understand how everyone feels. The battery ides is a good one I will remember that since I am bringing my camera. Meeting at 6 at the slots sounds good to me. Take care all ...so glad the night i s almost here

Jeany

Really good idea bout the batteries too! My hubby just bought some fancy schmancy camera that I dont even know how to work yet..but I'm sure gonna get busy tryin to figure it out. Its a digital one so I will do the cheapie battery trick! Thanks for the heads-up...keep me posted!

Thanks!
Cindy

Well in my experience most places say no camera's. I've not been to a fair concert in a few years but the ones that I have been to I've always took a camera. A little trick Brandi picked up (she didn't have to do it though, we could take pics) when we went to Philly was if u have a digital camera put some cheap batteries in it. That way if they say something u can just tell them to take the batteries. I'm gonna keep my rechargable batteries tucked away in my purse or somewhere. The heck if I'm taking that long hike back to the car. I know some people going on Saturday Night to see Carrie Underwood so I will ask them on Monday when we get to work if people were using cameras and let everyone know.

Delawarelovesdaughtry

from what JeanyL posted earlier about taking pics up close that the fair does allow camera's. The reason I ask is because I would rather use my good camera vs a disposable one. I just dont want to get to my seats and find that I have to run back to the car to put my camera away.

Any of you lovely ladies know for sure?

-Cindy

So I guess we are saying 6 to meet. That would be great plenty of time before the show. Whahoooo!!!! I'm sooo excited ladies. I can barely contain myself. I'm a teller and today I was reading a free paper talking about the fair and it had the daughtry pic in there and I cut it out and taped it to my teller machine. So I look at him aaaalllll daaayyy looonnnggg!!! Such a good thing. Well I'll check back again on Monday to make sure of everyone's plans but I'm gonna assume for now about 6 in front of the slots. Can't wait to meet everyone.

That time sounds like it would work for us. In front of the slots, right? It's getting close, Daughtries!!!
Kelly (delawarelovesdaughtry) made a good point today. The Delaware State Fair seems to attract rain and storms!! We really need them here though. I just wanted to give anyone not from around here a heads up to keep an eye on the weather and maybe bring a rain jacket just in case. Keep your fingers crossed and hope for no lightning! See y'all soon!!!

Brandice Howard (Mario's Baby, Brandi to Alexa and Desmond, Mommy to Maric)

That time sounds good for me! See you there!

I didn't realize you won VIP!!! CONGRATS! I am gonna go read your "vip entry".
-Cindy

I think a good time to meet up would be around 5:30/6:00. Plenty of time before the concert starts to get to know one another...whatcha think?

I just answered my own question. I asked if you were going to the fair on the VIP thread. (Thanks for the post!) And, I see that you are. We only have 6 more days!!! Yippee!! Meeting up in front of the slots sounds good to me. Kelly (DelawarelovesDaughtry) and I are hoping to get there between 5:30 and 6:00. It should be easy enough to find one another at that spot. Tuesday will be here before we know it!! (Eventually, ever so slowly!!!) See y'all there!!

Brandice Howard (Mario's Baby, Brandi to Alexa and Desmond, Mommy to Maric)

Sounds good! Is there a designated time yet? I'm gonna be flying around like crazy, as I'm also meeting up with some people from MrD. I'm pretty sure I'll have enough adrenaline to do it all and still be ready for the concert!

sounds good to me. Count me in...anyone else?

I won't be getting there till bout 5:30-6. Have to work, but maybe we could meet around 6:30 plenty of time before concert. And I think a good place to meet would be in front of the slots, because its very open and would be easy to find each other. There's only one entrance for the slots. I thinks that might be better then meeting in front of the grandstand, because some are in grandstand and some of us are on the track so we will be entering into different entrances. I'm soooo excited u guys. I can't wait!!!!!!!!

I have been to quite a few concerts at the fair and they have been known to allow the people on the ground level to get close to the stage to take pics. I hope they have not changed the way they do things for this concert. I am in section F and glad i am not in the grandstands but...would love to have been in section c....Anyway I am hoping to get up front and get some good pics

Jeany

Once I get there, I will go to the grandstand entrance and take a look around. If noone is lingering around outside I will check back around 4 or 5. Whoever wants to meet up and maybe get some pics meet up at the grandstand entrance as well.

1 week to go baby!!!!!

I am going to make this short and sweet...the last two times I tried to write this my computer froze up. We will probably be going to the fair around 4 or 5 on the big day. Since I can't go into the slots because of my grandson and nephews how about evryone meeting outside the slots or maybe at the grandstand entrance where the show will be? I would love to meet everyone and get our pics taken together.Then everyone one that wants can go ahead into the slots or whatever ? Let me know what everybody thinks....and I am really hoping they wil be selling t-shirts there. I don't see why they wouldn't. My grandson is wearing his Abscent Element t-shirt,is that cool or what?
Take care everyone.....the time is almost here!!!!!!!
Jeany

Jeany

We are probably gonna leave Philly around 1:00PM since its about a two hour drive to DE. So...I guess we will probably get there somewhere around 3 or 3:30. I'm not real familiar w/ the fairgrounds so who wants to designate a place for everyone to meet up? I wonder if the fair will sell any Daughtry merchandise like shirts. I ordered one from Fanfire.com and it is on backorder for about 3/4 weeks...so sad Sad

I am so excited...this concert is all I have talked about for weeks! My seats are in the 5th row so I'm hoping I am close enough to get some great shots w/ my camera which btw is already charged up and ready to go!

Dying for Daughtry!

-Cindy

Thats a great idea everyone meeting up at a certain time and having our pics taken for the site. Someone had mentioned meeting up for a few drinks before the concert but i will have my grandson with me ( he loves Daughtry!!) So maybe we could meet before or after you guys have your drinks? Oh I just can't wait!!!!!

Jeany

I know u guys well gals, I can't wait. Is it ever gonna get here. Oh, I got the camera ready and I think I already know what I'm wearing. Just need the day to get here. We also have to start thinking of a place to meet and take one picture together so we can post it on here. Can't wait to see and meet everyone. c-ya

Delawarelovesdaughtry

Does anyone else get jealous of the shows we can't go to?
Wish I could be at all of them.
Have fun and make sure to post your reviews and pictures please!!

I passed the Delaware State fair site and thought of how they'd be there soon!
I even could see the arena from the Road - it started w/ a Q.
I wish I could go!!! (But I live in CT.)
Have fun all who are going.
Looks like it'll be a blast!!
