Well after the grueling work of do nothing on day 2 you would think day 3 would be a breeze.
I had some friends come in from Sacramento for lunch. It made me miss home, but I am glad they were able to make it. We took the quick tour of Reno, not a whole lot to see peeps! Never the less it was fun and just nice to be able to walk around.
Abby and i got back to the room about 4:30 or 5p and got dressed. I had trouble all night thinking up a poster because they guys gave me no good song titles to work with. I did however come up with something.
We played PIN tag with Matt, but finally once we were outside the venue we arranged to meet by the busses. OMG! Reno is simply freezing! WTF! I have not been that cold in only the heavens know! GEEZ!!! Anyhow we got a few minutes, but he was cold and we were cold and he and Jeff had a few things to work on. (more on that later).
Finally the band list comes down, cause of course it wasn't there earlier. Took a few minutes, but our front row VH-1 tickets were in hand! Off to the front row we went! Our security guard Mike was awesome. He made sure we were taken care of during the show. He found a place to keep all of our stuff so we could enjoy the show and really was an amazing guy.
First up Mute Math. I tell you these guys are just amazing! I mean the lead singer has an amazing voice and there whole show is simply amazing to watch! Of course it was even more amazing from the front row! I will get some pics up soon.
Next up was Alanis. I have to say that her stage show is crazy! How she does not fall down and pass out everynight i have no clue. She is all over the stage. She really gets into her performanace and the crowd goes nuts!
Then the guys are up. Even sick Rob sings so that you would never know it. I know that weather had to be doing a number on him, but yoyu would have never been able to tell. I had one sign that said Matt Beck twenty Est. 2003 that went over really well. All the guys smiled and it got a nice thumbs up from Rob.
The guys were playful and full of banter on stage. It is such a thrill to see them just doing what they love to do! At a point during the set Matt left the stage and Jeff took his spot. So of course Abby and I were like WTF? Jeff did a great job, but still why was Matt side stage. Eventually after 4 sogns Matt came back on stage.
We finally found out during the intro what was going on. Rob intro'd Matt and said he would be leaving them soon, to have a BABY! Matt is gonna be a daddy! I am so excited for him. Rob held up a huge picture of the sonogram and everything. It was so cute! He explained that when Jeff took the stage the gilr in the fron row with the sign had an "Oh Shit" look on her face, LOL that would be me!
The show was amazing, the guys just keep getting better and better. The show ended with Ryan bringing me a drumstick and Paul tossing me a pic. I was even ofered $200 for Ryan's drumstick, but I of course declined.
We got to hang out with Chris for a while and stayed inside for as long as we could. We discussed how we were going to get the hell out of Reno since the roads were closing and we needed chains. Everyone had a different route picked out.
We finally we out to the busses after saying our good byes and Matt came out about 20 mins later. I playfully hit him for not knowing about the baby. Such a doll he said they were keeping it quiet and he had no clue Rob was going to do that. Yet he is really happy, but will not be at the overseas dates. On the positive side, the CD will be getting finished!!!
We said our good byes, cause it was freezing! Not a bad way to spend a night.
