my-ruin's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- i remember when electric felt like the world was mine 8.13.01 - hammerstein ballroom, NYC theSTART Well the night started off pretty badly. It was raining, but the kind of rain that smells really badly. I love normal rain, dont get me wrong...it starts from there. One of the people that was susposed to come to the show with me got into a car accident a few days ago, so she couldnt come. Doors opened at 7, i got there at 7:45 i MISSED THEM!!! (im still upset about that). I coulnt afford to buy a shirt otherwise i couldnt get home, but i guess its ok cos i made my own. We were standing in front of the merch booth, just about to leave when i see Scott - my man of the evening! (thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou!!!) and the manager who then took us backstage. When we got there they said Aimee had went outside for a walk, so we went to the loading dock and stood there for a min and all of a sudden the band (minus scott) walked in, and the night just turned around from there. As soon as she saw me she got all excited (the home-made shirt definatly helped). Aimee gave me one of the biggest, most sincere hugs i've ever gotten. At this point i was like a deer in headlights (for about 30 seconds). What i didnt realize at the time, infact i didnt realize it until the train ride home: i was standing infront of one of the most influential people in my life. She was so sweet and down to earth that it completely grounded me. It felt like i had known her for the longest time (i guess in a way i have). The coolest part is that she didnt treat me like a fan, i was treated like a friend. the BEST part about that is they actually think of us as friends...part of the band (well all there heretics who were there at theSTART!) and i've been there since they were HERO!Aimee's attention was distracted for a few minutes when in walks a woman, about 5'3ish blonde hair (as soon as i saw her i knew who she was). It was aimees mom!!! She is sooo sweet and AS cool as aimee. Turns out i've been talkin to her for a couple of years (she knew this and i didnt) so she was really excited to see me, which was VERY cool :o). We were chatting about HUMAN WASTE PROJECT and how that started when Ron Jeremy taps dan on the shoulder and asks "Do you know where Uncle Kracker's dressing room is?". How funny is that???I'm not sure exactly how long we were back there but i still can't get over it. I hope i remember every detail till im 105 years old. 11:59 a.m. - 08.14.01 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
