So, Lets see if I can remember everything and pray it all makes sense! LOL

Well, I got there around 6…doors opened at 7…standing in line some people came up behind me and told me Elliott was around the corner. I debated whether I should go or not, but I did. I didn’t want to miss that chance to meet him. I figured there would be a whole mob of fans there. Nope. Just Elliot, a band member Aaron, and another lady. I didn’t know what to say, so I said “I was told by some people you would be over here.” He just laughed. The other lady there did most of the talking. She was talking about the songs he sang on AI I think. She was trying to figure out the name of the song that she liked that he did. When we finally figured it out (and I can’t remember the song) I started to sing it, realized what I was doing, covered my mouth, and he just started laughing. We talked a little, but I can’t remember exactly what we were talking about. I was so nervous and shaking. Some girls drove by in a car and yelled Hi to E and he said hi back and all you could hear as the car drove away was them screaming. We were all laughing, and I asked him if he’s gotten used to all of that yet, and he said “As used to it as you can get” Then I asked him for a picture and an autograph. Aaron took our pic and was so excited about it too LOL “He said wow this is so good!” Aaron is awesome. I’m sure there is a lot I forgot…It seemed like forever standing there talking to him. He is just such a great guy and smiles all the time…

Next was the show….got right up in front (YAY!!). Josh was up first. Let me say…he is great and funny!! We were right up at the stage…kind of too close..if there is such a thing. Then Elliott came on…the bouncers pushed up back from the stage a few feet, which was just fine with me. I would really love to tell you the order of the songs, but I just can’t remember them all…my fangirly side kicked in and even though I acted all calm and sort of my age, I don’t remember everything. All I know he was amazing and it just ended too soon. He was very talkative with us between songs. He was looking good and sounding good and I highly recommend going to his show if he’s in a town near you.

Then the show ended…way to early lol…Josh was by the merchandise table afterwards but the line was way too long…I think the whole crowd got in line. I was just milling around…very thirsty so I went to the bar for some water…yeah…I’m a big drinker LMAO. There was Josh! I actually hit him a little and said “hey…I want my picture with you!” Well I got a picture. All the pictures I took towards the end of the show and after the show with the band and my 2nd pic with E were damaged somehow. My camera overheated or something. I don’t really know. Maybe having it on for that long made it mad lol So I got my pic with Josh. I told him that I ordered his CD online and was hoping I could have received it before the show so he could sign it for me. He told me he just mailed them out a day or two before. He said he has to do those things himself LOL I said well, I guess I’ll have to see you again so you can sign it. He said Nope, it’s already signed  Well…that made me happy..and I asked him if I could tell everyone that he signed it when I met him and he told me I could lie :D he is such a sweetheart. Then I got my pic with Aaron (another screwed up pic) Aaron is so cool. He’s so sweet. Then I decided to get in line for another pic with Elliott. The line was shorter now so I decided to jump in. When I got there I told him the show was excellent and that he really needed to come back to Minnesota on his next tour…He said he would so I’m holding him to it :D

So…that is all I can really remember. I mean Elliott stayed there signing autographs and taking pictures until everyone in that line was through. Talk about a great guy. He was so tired, but did that for his fans. He’s awesome and I love him even more.

I met some amazing people and had the best time. I’m sure I forgot some things here because I know I must have blacked out or something during some of this night. Maybe they’ll come to me later. It was a great time and wouldn’t change anything about the whole night…except for the pictures I lost because somehow the files were damaged. But I can’t really complain since I did get a lot of amazing pictures!! So if I left anything out, those who were there feel free to add or even correct me if I got something wrong!! LOL

What a great recap~ I'm glad everything went like a dream!!!

Aww...what a great review! Thanx for sharing your "E"xperience with us :) and wow, i can't believe that you had damaged photos! I've seen your pics in that thread and OMG...you have some outstanding photos! I also felt the way you did....I couldn't remember what songs he sang for sure just that he came out with ALright! lol! I was completely Awestruck and alot of the night is foggy and of course like you said it ended WAY TOO SOON! I never wanted it to end :) even waiting outside for him for well over an hour after the show ended didn't phase me ONE BIT and it was like midnight! lol~ So glad you got to meet him :) He's truly a gift and such a sweet loving and don't forget SMILY person :)

:cheerleader1: thanx again for the great review! jeannine

Thank you!! It really was more than I ever expected to happen and more amazing too!

My damaged photos...it happened only one other time, and I think I've figured out what happened...sort of....I took some video, which was damaged as well, and every picture after that was. I think my camera doesn't like video anymore...I'll just have to remember that for next time :)

Very very awesome!! God was smiling on you--you had a wonderful experience!! I would have felt the same way--totally ditzed out, lol!
Elliott has such a larger-than-life "presence"!! What is it? Charisma I guess...the voice is one thing but he is something ELSE!!

Thanks for your review, AK! How awesome that you got to meet Elliott and Josh--sounds like you had a great connection with both of them. I would love to see Elliott in MN again, too. Glad you got him to commit to it! ^_^

Awesome recap AngieKay! You definitely had a great time! I hope that Elliott stops back in MN too! Hopefully not too long.

God, i just LOVE reading recaps like this!!!!So glad you had such an awesome time!!! going to look at your pics now

Wow, what a wonderful night for you. Such good timing when you had E in such a small group, and then bumped into Josh. It really was your lucky day! :elliottcap: I'm happy for you!

What a great recap! I love the part about the girls calling out to E and then screaming!

What a great recap, and your pictures are fantastic.
