Amazing emense daight*!
I was at the Third Day concert in Whitewell and my gosh they did a mighty show. But lets start the story at the beginning!!!!
So Lauren and I decided we would get out off school early because we thought that the doors opened at 6pm so we had to leave at 5pm then. So we won't have anytime to get changed. Making get out 3 periods early the best option (especially when you're missing double geography!) Ok, so we meet my mum at forestside....in Sainburys and then spotted one of our teachers so we had to hide! Was so so funny!! Finally we got left there and we got home to get ready. Then I get a phone call at 16.55:
"Rachel the doors open at 7pm not 6pm."
"Lauren shut up I checked the tickets" [Ages ago]
"No seriously Rachel look at your tickets."
[Laughing] "Erm ok maybe your right..."
"Ok, I'll pick you up at about 5 to 6 then instead."
I was thankful for this mishap coz I was able to go for a power nap...which was desperately needed! Then we were on our way. Queuing was quite fun....a lot of random pictures and conversations.
Then we were in! WOOHOO and the adrinaline rises.
Waiting....waiting....waiting........
Let us present Brian Houston...............what???? BRIAN HOUSTON
We screamed so so much! We did not have a clue that he was going to be there!
He made me laugh and cry. Totally amazing so the excitment levels reached around 9.56!!!
10 minute interval.....
Arrived back with the opening title- Tunnel...... such a great choice of song to start with.
The hour flew in and it was such a shame it was over. I could have stayed ALL night.
They played old and new. Fantastic.
We went out and I purposely didn't get my mum to leave until the last song was over so that we would have time to hang out.
I bought the new CD. Then placed myself right outside the backstage door. Which I wanted to sneak into but Lauren wouldn't allow me.
I guess we where there for about 20-30mins. The moment I had been waiting for came....
I seen David Carr (Third Day drummer) coming out the door. I freaked out. I was beside myself. Just ask Lauren.
I then emptied the contains of my handbag to try and find the pens I had packed earlier coz I came prepared with notebook and all!!! Woohoo!
I went over ALONE! Yes Lauren was very proud. The conversation went like this.....
"Hey I'm Rachel." [shaking hands]
"Hey nice to meet you."
"Would you mind signing my notebook?"
"Of course not."
"Do you need a pen?"
"No no I can use this one." [after my stressful pen hunting attempts!]
[As he wrote] "I'm a drummer to ya know, I've been playing for 4 years now." [thats the first time I've called myself a drummer!]
"Thats really cool. Sorry how do you spell your name?"
[Long pause and Rachel's head is totally blank!]
"Ehhhhh....."
[David] "Is it R-a-c-h..... e-l?"
"Ehhhh... yea" [awkward laugh]
"Thanks so much."
"No problem. God bless!"
"Bye!"
AHHHH he wrote Rachel, Keep Drumming....David. I will act this out if any of you wish coz there is more to the conversation plus it is way more fun....
I will post photos but right now I'm wrecked.
Had GB training 2night! Yuck. But plus side....I'm now a fully-pledged Sub-officer! O-yea! Authority baby!
Peace and Love
