My Birthday Weekend, Take 2

5:15 am.....Oh good grief just shoot me will you! I just got home!

Oh well I had to get up, finish packing and go get the rental car. Fast forward to 9:30 and off to the beach I go! Work function.

Wake up at 1:15, awards and presentation....2:02 in the car and off I go.

I got to Inglewood about 3:30 and my friend was packing up her son for the weekend and trying to pack herself.

5pm and off to the Jimmy Kimmel show we go. Saundge and I arrived at just 6pm to meet up with everyone. We got to hear the boys doing sound check, they sounded amazing!

Now the fun begins!

I won early entry tickets into the show, well myself and 9 other people. Anyhow security REALLY messed up and everyone else got in first. However the three of us who were there were still in the front. Yet I went to find the fan club guys to see what was going on. Enter Chris and Jay, the amazing guys from All Access. They got us all together and the just as amazing Nick Lippman came out to give us the new Matchbox USB Bracelets. Pretty cool boys!!

However by this time all the people had filtered in and there was no where or way for us to get back in front. So when Nick asked if where they wanted to put us was alright I said no. So he left Chris and disappearing Jay (Hugs Jay) to fix it. They tried, but no go. My favorite, Chris, was awesome, he hung out with us the whole time and kept us up on what was going on.

Anyhow after about 20 minutes and no help from security (although they did redeem themselves later), Nick comes back out and says not to worry he will fix it. LOL, then all these big wig people come out. We got a thumbs up from Nick and security tried to move everyone down. They were going to clear an area and put us in the front. LOL what a difference A LOT of complaining does!

Low and behold NO ONE wanted to move. So the security guard tells me to take his hand and he walks us in front of everyone, when we were all in he stops and says "now you are in the front". You can just imagine the stuff going on behind us!!!

What did I learn from that? Chris is my favorite, Jay is very entertaining, Nick is a force to be reckoned with and Matchbox loves there fans and will do anything (except let us sit on the couch) to keep us happy. This new fan club is going to be amazing!

Insider Info: They are taking over Rob's too :-)

The show was amazing! We had the guy who talks to the audience tell Matt Happy Birthday. The guys are back! They are in sync and just having FUN!!! We got a 5 set show, cause Rob said he had on a 5 song jacket not a 4 song jacket!

The show ended and I tried to get Matt to come out for a venue shot, but talk shows never go right.

Rob and Paul did come out for a minute. I of course froze around Paul. I did however have time to say "Rob, can you tell Matt I said Hi?". LOL that always gets a laugh.

Anyhow the guys were loaded into a van and off they went!

So after a trip Coffee Bean, and a stop at Numero Uno off to Vegas we go!

Two amazing days down and one to go!
