Ok, its 6:00 am, cant sleep, thinking about the concert last night.
First, I'm gonna applogize for not remembering all the names, and who goes to what board name. There were so many people there last night, and everyone was awesome.
Hammerme and I set out early, so that we could be first in line, and hopefully see the guys go in for soundcheck. What ever you do, don't get a map quest, map. We didnt get lost, well, not to much, but it took us the complicated way to the city. We got there about 5 and there were already a few people. Hugs, Hugs, and hanging out for 2 hours. There were quite a few guys there, which was nice to see.
The place was very nice inside. Smaller than I thought it would be. Very clean (even the bathrooms,lol) and very posh. Hammerme and I got right to the front and scoped out the stage area for climbing apparatus for Marty. None to be found, but he ended up being resorceful.
The opening band was Fixer. Check them out. They rocked. Put on a really good show and got everyone pumped for LH. At one point the lead singer grabed a bottle of water and sprayed the audience with it. Us girls were horrified! Hey man, don't mess the hair and clothes before Marty comes out. He was young, and has alot to learn.
Then the guys came out. and the place went crazy. Everyperson in that room gave it their all to make them feel wanted and loved. I was happy that the stage was small, because we were able to see Bobby very well. Usually hes so hidden, except for his awesome playing, you wouldnt know he was there. Unfortunetly, because the stage was so small, Marty had a very hard time exressing his, uh hum, stage presense. He almost fell a few times, and thanked everyone for saving him from certain death.
He was being pretty "playful" and talked quite a bit.(which I love)
Dino and Billy were at their best playing their strings. Lots of smiling!
Marty played "accoustic" clouds. And it reminded me of RS, and why I fell in love with him. He is so intense, even while standing still.
He did manage to find his way through the audience and climb the bar. That was pretty cool, but the limit to his "monkeying around" I think ,frustrated him.
They didn't do an encore, I don't know why. It did feel a little rushed through the show. Or maybe, I just felt it was to short. What ever, it was great.
Now for the exciting part!
We hung around for a meet and greet, which didn't happen. Most of the people left, except for those who were hanging around for the same thing. Dino mingled with the crowd, and looked quite in his element. He's like the social butterfly, flitting about from tree to tree.I tryed stopping him twice, because he had said that they would try to get a picture, with Hammerme, and her unborn hammerchick. (By the way, everyone was so caring and protective of her, I felt very safe for her)
When he walked by us again, to leave, I nudged her and said, go get him!
She followed him and in the crowd, said, Dino, didn't you promise something?. Well everyones heads whipped around, and see a pregnant woman, and the look on Dinos face, was pretty classic. I bet everyone thought there was some drama involved in that. But she reminded him of his promise, and we followed him into the back room. Of course, there was no way in hell, she was going back there without me!
Walked in, and I totally felt like the country bumpkin. The guys were all hanging out, with Fixer, and a roomful of young, pretty girls. Yes, I was most defenetly the oldest there. And Dino, was still "flitting" about, going in and out the room. He cracks me up. Marty was sitting, eating cupcakes, and some brownies that Hammerme made. So we knew they got our care package. I started to ease up a little, because everyone was so nice, and very friendly. Hammerme, got her pic. with the guys(she'll explain that one, and post it). And then they left the room. Again, she got a pic with them, and I didn't. I was upset. We hungout, (all sureal) and Billy and Dino came back. Talked with them. Billy is really proud of his new car. You have to check it out on his new site. Dino was talking about vomiting with some girl. LOL. Bobby came back. (very quite guy, but HOT!!) He doesnt have to say much, its nice to just look at him.
I had asked Marty if he got his shirt I bought him. No, he hadn't. Luckalee, I found the bag I had brought, with the food, and his shirt was in there. When He came back in, I gave him his shirt. (OK, this is when mom mode came in, and I wished, Hammerme would have smacked me upside the head). It looked to big, so, I started nagging him, that he looked like he lost weight. Loveingly of course, but still, nagging. (the italian mom who keeps saying munja, munja) I'm not Italian though.
He read the note I wrote, outloud, after asking me of course. And I wasn't quite sure, if he was busting on me or not. But he put the shirt on, and it was big, but he looked great. And I think, I hope he liked it. He said he looked really white, cause he was wearing his white pants also. I got the courage and asked for a pic. with him. Dino was standing there, so I grabbed him and finally got my picture. We hung out for quite a while. Listened to antidontes, from one of their friends, asked some really stupid questions, and had some nice conversations. The more we talked to Marty, the more at ease I felt. I wont get into word for word. To much, and some of it, ,,, well,,, I want that moment to be mine. Sorry.
We got up to say our goodbyes, nagged Marty some more about gaining some weight. Asked him if he was a vegetarian(DUMB!!!). NO, he just got done eating a whole bag of Beef Jerky(Jen, he got your stuff)
He gave us hugs, we said good bye, and I floated out the door like a school girl.
Whens Hammerjam?!!
No formal meet and greet but there was a kind of casual meet & greet. I did finally get my moment with Marty, who actually took several moments with me. 
Billy pretty much kept outta site after the show.
