Behold...Nah Nevermind its just a bunch of Christmas Lights in a Jar.

So the life of a radio DJ is something I dig. One of the big parts of that is going to concerts. Now sure the concert itself is a solid time but personally I love meeting people that listen to the station. It is super cool. And an excellent example of this is in fact the two wonderful listeners that won the Studio Suite we gave away for Sunday nights show. Christina and Meredith two super awesome gals were not only on board with winning but they took me and your go to guys each and every morning Jojo and Scotty. NO don't have a freak out party nothing awesome happened. They just showed us the room we hung out.

On top of that we got to meet the cats from Disturbed. Those guys were super cool. But once again the best part was how super stoked the listeners that won were to meet the guys from the band. I mean this is their favorite band! I can only tell this story of when I got to meet Gwen Stefani.

I'd known for 3 months that Gwen Stefani was coming to AC. So I started bugging the guy, Paul, I work with for tickets and since they all met her last time to meet her like other people have met people before. One because Gwen Stefani has been important in my life since like 7th grade. Two now that she is a solo act she has four stunning Asian girls that Dance for her. Just in case you don't know my 10 year plan it involves me falling in love with Asians and getting hitched to one or so.

I bugged and Bugged and BUGGED Paul to meet them and it came together!!! But before I left for the show I had one fancy project to make. I had to make 5 mixed Cds one for Gwen then one each for Love Angel Music and Baby. God they are so stunning for serious. So I slapped them together and here they are…

I put the Track listings my myspace address and my email on the cd covers. I doubt in the end anything would come of it but I figured I'd try. Now Paul and Sean thought that I would get the boot for giving the girls and Gwen the Cds so I was a little worried. Anyways I brought them because I need to take a chance. So after hellish traffic and a train(HONESTLY TRAINS? what is this the wild west?) in front of the tunnel. I made it to the casino with like 12 minutes to spare. I met up with Sean and I was Buzzing. The other people there to meet her from the station were looking at me like I was crazy and I was but honestly.

So I made some jokes about being super nervous and everyone thought I was weird unless they were Sean or Paul who totally get me. So my stomach was all butterflies. I mean sure there is a standard amount of butterflies when Mark Thompson is anywhere but this was crazy. I mean I was so excited so they brought is into some sort of storage bunker. Chairs and bottles of coke were stacked up. But I didn't care I was moments from meeting 5 of the things I love (1 being Gwen Stefani and the other 4 being any kind of Sexy Asian Girl.)

So still nervous the Bodyguard Curtis goes on first at how good we all look and I was the only person to thank him. This list of things you can and can't do. Like you can get Gwen to sign a couple of things. Like for example the press photo I got. Or as Paul brought the picture of him and Gwen. But we couldn't give a phone to Gwen we couldn't hug or kiss Gwen or the girls all these things would end things. He never said I couldn't give her anything so I was stoked. I pulled out all the Cds and they walked in the room and I lost it. They made there way around the room and I was loosing it. So Gwen came up first and I was shaking. And she signed the photo and I was like "Oh my God you're so amazing." Then I said I have this Mixed CD for you and she said "Thanks I hadn't gotten one since Gavin gave me one years ago." Then she said "Maybe I can work out to it." I told her I didn't know if it was that kind of music. Needless to say she was super nice and super cool.

Then the Girls came around and I was still losing it. I wanted them to sign my meet and greet pass but I couldn't even get that out. So I went to hand the first girl her CD and she went to sign it and I was like "No no it's a mixed cd for you." Then one asked if I was a DJ like if they were remixes or something and I said no that I was just a nerd that liked to pretend that I was 8th grade when I had a crush on a girl. Then I told them they were beautiful like 5 times. And gave each girl her mixed cd. I was shaking so bad and I said something about being a train wreck and they said that I was cute.

So then they made it around the room and everyone asked if I was alright and I wasn't that was the most excited I'd been since well since ever. I was so nervous and forgot things like to tell them their eyebrows were perfect. And that I loved their hair.

Then it came time for the picture and me and Sean got in it together. Gwen told me to get closer and I did and it was amazing then the girls looked back saw it was me and held up the Cds I gave them. OH my god that was nuts.

So when I was leaving they said they were going to look for me and I didn't know if I was even going to have a ticket. Then Paul tossed two tickets down onto the table and Matty ran into to see the opening act and I stayed out to talk to some other people I worked with about the happenings.

I got to meet Gwen and the Girls get my picture taken and give them mixed cds. Even if they never listen to them I gave them to them and even if they never email me I tried. But I have checked my email like a nerd 3 times a day since then. But here is to hoping they do. I'm sure I forgot something but the excitement just drove me out of my mind and I seem to have blacked out some great moments.

This proving I get how cool it is meeting someone that means the world to you. Hence my excitement to give people a chance to be as big a train wreck as I was that night.
