he smiled.
he said, �thanks again �...
then snickered, "ha..boys lie..we do NOT!"
"u KNOW you do!", i jokingly replied.
"yeah, you're right", he laughed.
and his entourage swept him away.
Note to self--Chill with them BEFORE not AFTER a show. Too many strangers after a show.
But u see, the night would have ended there if it wasn�t for the fact that I was YET on another mission. For Jacki, this time.
She wrote a letter while I was in Illinois. She addressed it to all of them but I KNOW she wanted me to hand it to Scottie.
So I met up with Eric at the VIP rooms.
There were sooo many ppl there.
and guess who I saw? Frickin� Joey from N*Sync. I swear! That was the funniest shit. Then I remembered Mark saying , �I�m her �joey��
LMAO!
I didn�t think anything was going to happen so I was going back and forth from the VIP rooms and the office. I almost had it out with a cop b/c he kept saying �she may have a crew pass but she isn�t crew�
I was like �what? who the fuck r u to say i�m not crew?�
so I just walked by. I didn�t give a shit.
Finger 11 and Sevendust guys kept walking around. Vince came up to me again, and kissed my hand, saying ,
"well how are you dahlin'?"
"awesome show tonight", i said.
"well, thank you so much for saying that. seriously, thank you."
And he continued on to his dressing room.
I said my good-byes to Eric.
And I sat and waited and waited right in the damn lobby.
Hillaree passed by and she said hello. I wished her �have a good holiday� and she said the same. (she�s awesome)
And I waited and waited. I couldn�t leave without giving this letter to Scott Phillips. I would feel horrible if I couldn�t do it. So I was cursing the fact that I just didn�t give it to Tremonti when I had a chance.
I look to my right and who do I see walking towards me.
But Mr. Tremonti again...with his girl.
Yeah...exactly.
So i�m thinking to myself, �well, jovanna, get ready for some hard-core dissin� b/c there�s no way in hell he�s gonna acknowledge your stanky ass with his girl next to him�
As he got closer, I literally cringed.
At the last moment, I looked up from my chair. He looked down at me and reached out for my hand.
He said, �hey, Thanks so much for everything. I really like the sweatshirt. See yooooooooouuu....�, like as if he was thinking when the next time would be.
�Next Tour...I�ll see you next tour�, I smiled.
�Yeah�, he said.
�Hey, what happened here?�, Mark asked me pointing at the floor.
There was blood on the floor b/c a roadie cut his finger up good.
I told him.
�I better see you wearing the sweatshirt!�, I yelled out as he walked away down the hall.
He looked over his shoulder at me and said,
�Oh I definitely will.�
His girlfriend didn�t smile at me. She just looked at me. I don�t know. You make your own opinion. I ain�t saying shit.
So that was it for Tremonti.
I continued to wait and it was 1am. Yes, i�m tired as all hell. But I couldn�t give up.
I saw Brett. I said �fuck it�, i�m going to ask him.
So that�s what I did and he told me where Scottie was. He was less than 15 feet away but around a curve so I couldn�t see him.
He was a funny sight. He had 2 golf clubs and a bunch of x-mas cards and a gift. AND he looked tired as hell. So I already feel like an ass for bothering him.
But I had to.
I said, �what�s up, scottie?�
scott: �what�s up?�
�awesome show tonight...I wish you lots of rest now�
�thanks and..yeah, I know�
�I'd hate to bother you but I have a letter from a friend that wanted me to really give it to u�
He laughed.
I said, �I�m sorry it�s a little crushed. I was in the pit�
I dropped the letter on top of what he was holding.
Again, he laughed, �ok.�
�We met u before in WPB. I doubt u�ll remember and it�s cool if u don�t..�
He looked at me and said, �I remember. Yeah, I remember.�
I looked at him like I didn�t believe him, �Really? u do?�
�yeah, really..i do...�
�awesome. well, although it�s addressed to everyone, I know she wanted me to give it to u�
And again, I couldn�t resist, �can I get a quick pic before u disappear?�
haha!
he said, �uhhhh yeah but let me drop this shit off at the car�
�oh ok� *felt like an ass*
So I waited in front of the office for like 15 minutes. And Scottie comes back out with his girl and Brett and a whole entourage of people. And walked by. I didn�t have it in me to stop him and ask for a pic. I let that one go. There was just too many people. And i�ve been forced to say how I �feel� in front of all these people all night. It was embarrassing. But whatever, sometimes u gotta say �fuck it�. But for Scottie, I was already exhausted and hurt. The pit did some damage. Besides, he looked TIRED.
Note to self - DEFINITELY, BEFORE not AFTER.
And that is it, my friends.
That�s how my December 14th went.
That�s how it went.
NO candy coat.
NO bullshit.
Just the truth.
Hope u enjoyed it.
My wrists hurt. Don�t know how Jacki does it.
