I'm not much of a poster around here, but like someone said in another thread, I just could not stay quiet anymore! My experience in Philly was just so perfect. My mom and I arrived on South Street around 3:30. We stopped by the line forming at the TLA and found out that the bus was parked right next to the parking garage that we parked in. We walked right by it and didn't even notice. After finding out where the bus was, we immediately walked over there. There was one other girl waiting. I asked her if she was on the E-train and she looked at me blankly. After about 5 minutes Josh and Russell walked up. I got my picture with Josh (he's such a nice, normal guy!) and asked if Elliott was coming out. He said he was busy doing radio interviews. We decided to leave then to walk around. About 15 minutes later, we walked by the bus again and saw that a small crowd had formed (about 15 people). We figured something was up, so went over and within 5 minutes we saw Elliott appear in the window and then walk off the bus! It was so cute how he came down the bus steps and just sort of stood there and waited for us to approach him. Like so many of you have said before, he was so unrushed and relaxed when meeting all the fans. He also seemed very shy! I, of course, couldn't think of anything coherent to say to him. I just rambled on about feeling like I know him already and about his t-shirt being from someone on the E-train (even though I never post, I know what's going on around here!) My mom was more relaxed and asked him about his mom--he said she was "coming along ok." I then stepped back from Elliott and was standing next to Russell and Josh. Russell was laughing at me because I was shaking and called Josh over to see my shaking hands. Josh then asked me if I had met Russell, Elliott's gutarist. I said I already knew who he was. Russell acted really surprised that I knew who he was--he said "how do you know who I am?" I told him how I've watched the videos online. Josh jokingly asked me if I was a stalker! He then asked me if I was coming to the show. They were both really nice, fun guys.

I could go on and on, but my 2-year old is not allowing me right now. The concert was wonderful. The screaming of the fans was UNBELIEVEABLE! It was also great how everyone sang along (almost like back-up singers). I wish I could have gone to the Lancaster show. Hopefully he swings by PA again!

Wow, thanks for posting! I was there, too and met him (shaking, too..and cried afterwards!!) I enjoyed reading your recap and seeing your pictures, THANKS!!

Great pic's thanks for sharing with everyone.

Hi psugal4elliott. I was also at the bus when Elliott came out and took pictures. Did your Mom have short blond hair? Thin woman? I believe I saw you both there. By the way, That's a gorgeous picture of you and Elliott. You're very pretty.

I believe we both told Russell the same thing (maybe a little earlier, when the bus was still in front of the TLA) , but it was my son that told me he probably thinks I'm a stalker lol. I did stress it was on the etrain like that made more sense.

I also told Elliott about the shirt when I met him... I think we were sharing the same brain waves lol.

Stick around and post, look I'm the perfect example, I never used to post... see how addictive it is? :)

Thanks for the compliment, Itslate. Yes, that was my mom. I didn't know who you were until I saw your posting with your pictures the next day. I was a little shy about introducing myself to everyone.

It is fun to post because no one else I know (except for my mom) cares when I tell them my Elliott stories. I'm glad to have someone to share them with!

Yes, great story and pictures!! Thank you--hope you come on more often!
