Lastnight I went to the goo concert in Binghamton, NY. The show was really
good!!! The day of the concert I found out Greg from school had backstage
passes and he doesn't like the goos so I told him I would pay him anything
for them..he said no.. So he told me today he met the lead singer and he
didn't even know what his name was!!! Well, needless to say he didn't get my
vote for class president think he would bother getting me and autograph?
No!!! OK, well we got there about 4:30 and put our friends Emily and Nicole
in like while Beth and I went to check out the bus. We saw Nate riding his
bike and he stopped to sign our CD. We saw Robby come out to the bus but the
giards wouldnt tell them that we were there, after we asked him to. That's
when we met Larry, Johnny's friend he didn't have any passes left so we gave
him a poster I mad with messages on the back for them, and I hope they got
it! So after Robby went back into the arena, we went in. After the third
band, I had gotten hit in the head twice by people boy surfing and had things
thrown at me, so I got out of there and ended up right next to the
speakers... So now I cant hear today. But it was worth it!!! The goos came
on about 30 minutes after Tonic and they opened with Dizzy, Johnny was having
things thrown at him including bras, wallets, and plastic bottles he also got
nailed in the back with my wooden beaded bracelet! I AM SO SORRY JOHNNY!!!
Now I know he got it though. Johnny came over the the side of the stage and
let me get some good pics of him!! I also got some pictures of Robby and
Nate. I wasn't able to see Mike or Dave from where I was which sucks!!
Johnny read one sign that said "Our 3rd goo show" he smiled and held out
three fingers. A lot of people left their seats, not know there was an
encore! It was awesome!! After the concert I found two women listening to
Nate backstage behind a curtain I opened it and said hi. He didn't hear me.
But I got yelled at so I had to put it down and that is when I left. This is
the first goo show that I actually met someone!!! I just wish I met everyone
else too, but meeting Nathan was cool.
