"Cook County Saloon" |
|
|

I arrived at Cook County at about 7:30 and there was Lisa waiting for me. We hightailed it to the back of Cook County to look for the bus and maybe catch a glimpse of the guys. Yeah right... We marveled over the bus for a few minutes and took a couple of pics. |

Lisa and I then decided maybe we should go knock on the door and hope that someone is on the bus and it would open but we both chickened out and decided to sit by the bus and wait for someone to show up. We plunked down on the parking dividers and just sat and watched the doors for a few minutes after pulling out our fan club passes. A few other girls decided to do the same thing we did and knocked on the door while we sat there and waited. After about half an hour, we gave up and went inside. There we met up with Lynn who flew all the way from Connecticut to see the guys and chatted with her and her friends for a bit. We had no clue what Lynn looked like and only found out after we heard the DJ inside dedicate a song for her. We then heard the DJ say something about a "Boo Bradley" formerly of CISN who now sucks as he works for a sister station of CISN. Lisa and I looked at each other and said RYANN! We had been kinda bugging Ryann to play Emerson Drive for us for about two weeks prior to the show and got him to join us ladies in the chatroom one night. We went up to Ryann and told him who we were and got a hug and pictures for the gals. |

Lisa, Lynn and I later parked ourselves in front of the stage to get ourselves close to the action. We were that close you could see the set list. We started talking about her next two shows which were going to be up in Grande Prairie at Bud Country and the Calgary Stampede. I wish I could have gone to both those shows especially the one in the Grande Prairie, as it would have been nice to go "home" even for just a day. |

The guys hit the stage around 10 and the first person to appear was Mike and the crowd just started screaming like crazy. I knew it would be hard to get pics of Mike later on as he was hidden behind his drum set so I quickly took one of him as he was setting up. He saw me and gave me a big smile and waved back to me when I waved to him. The rest of the guys followed and Lisa and I both got a big smile from Danick when he saw us in the crowd. |
