Title: HOLY COW! I won a m&g!!!!
Post by Shannon on Jul 25th, 2007, 3:01pm
Wow. The meet and greets for August are posted and I freakin' won!  :o  I'm in total shock and I'm shaking. It's not like I haven't met them before.....but yet ... I'm still shaking.

Excellent.  Now I know who I'm going to kidnap.  Lauren, want to help?  :D

Congrats, Shannon!  You deserve it for all of your hard work here on WOG.

Thanks! I'm still shaking. ;D

I keep reading how the winners give them these elaborate gifts. I figure moderating this board and soon updating the main site is enough of a gift if you ask me.

LOL....wouldn't they be surprised?

I just don't think I could part with either of them though.

I think that particular gift idea comes with too many strings attached.

Congrats Shannon.

You are giving them your gift of fandom. I'm sure that's the best gift they could ask for.

Yeah for you. Have fun.

And I agree with you about your work on this board, that's enough of a gift....

I never really understood the gift giving thing myself. I imagine most end up in the trash. Not b/c the guys don't care, but really what can they do with all those little gifts given at every show, especially when they're traveling on a bus with limited space.

I was thinking the other day they could open up a Dollar Store with all the accumulated "stuff" they receive.  

...just kidding ya know...

I know they wear some of the t-shirts people give them and of course Robby keeps the Pez. But it is an interesting question what they do with everything else.

Congratulations Shannon!!  I'm so excited that you won!!!

I on the other hand, two years in a row, have not won...oh well....guess I can't complain though, since I've met them before.

Thanks so much everyone.

And Melissa.....I haven't ever actually won a meet and greet myself until now. I've met them before but only as some other lucky winner's guest. So this was really my first time winning. And, I almost didn't enter at all since I hadn't won one in 2 years either. Ironically, my friend who always wins, talked me into it ;D �I guess she rubbed her luck off on me.

You just never know when your luck will pay off!  I'm still so excited for you..you deserve it!

I've met them several times on my own....it would just be nice to add another experience to my list since the venue they play at here doesn't have any way to access the bus area after the show.

Awesome. Have a great time! Try not to kill Mike.
(I forgot that rule, and bashed him into the tour bus....*facepalm*)

Wait... what?  You assaulted Mike, you say?

And Shannon doesn't personally kill members of the band.  She sends her manhole covers to do her bidding.

She has an army of manhole covers??
I'm jealous. �All I have is some stinkin' penguins! :D

She does!  There have been Shannon/Goo/manhole incidents in both Buffalo and the Detroit region.  This is serious.  DO NOT mess with Shannon.

Yeah. That's the short short version.
Basically, I, a 5'3" shy 14-year-old girl, all alone(they wouldn't let me bring in my best friend), meeting my heroes, was shaking as I hugged my favorite drummer in the world. And so I tripped over my own two feet, and fell into the side of the tour bus.
But, uh....
I didn't let go of Mike.
I really am probably making a bigger deal out of it than it really was, but that's the story. Oh, and then I tripped again and fell into Johnny as I tried to regain my barrings.

So what have we learned, class? The secret to getting them all to smile is try your best to kill them without Security Mike noticing.

You are adorable! That's an excellent m&g picture.

I don't know that I'll crash into any of them at my m&g. I don't tend to get overly excited. I'm more shy. If I get too nervous I'll get real quiet. The first time I met them I was so nervous I said "nice to meet you", shook their hands and moved on. I was so mad at myself but I just get so shy. So this time I'll be sure to force myself to talk more.....be social.

Edit: And I love John's t-shirt, I want one.

I don't remember what (if ANYTHING) I said to them when Robby and Johnny asked me how I was. I remember almost every word they said to me, but nothing I said until I handed Johnny the letter I wrote and said "this is for you"....Then he asked me if it was a check, and I said "no..No, I'm sorry!!"
