Meeting MCR (life changing)

well; i don't really blame shannon for hating me...
i sort of asked for it when i gave him a red converse that said
"I LOVE JARED" on it to sign.
with the :30 stm symbols on the toes and heels.

he sort of spazzed and threw it at Tomo.
yeah.....

that definitely sucks.

meh; it made tomo and jared laugh a bit.
i was just scared....
that shannon was going to kill me.

omygod shannon is so nice! i cant imagine him hating anyone! when i met him and took a picture with him..it was my first time taking a pic with a "celeb" so i didnt know how to stand so he grabbed my hand and started to tickle me lol
spam over

anyway..havent met mcr but me and gerard were in the same shopping place in japan at the same time...but i missed him...grrr

maybe i just caught him on an off day...

but gerard always goes to this comic place in london.
and i've been in there oodles of times.
but apparently last time he was in there-
he bought the entire set of MCR action figures.

Geezuz Gerard; no wonder i can't get a frank!

Thats a really awesome story.I am really happy that you had that experience and for all who does get these rare and awesome opportunities. My daughter (who is 7 years old and a huge fan of MCR) and myself (who is also a huge fan) got to meet them in Detroit in Dec.of 2006...all by accident too.We went to the Arena but well showing up super early paid off big time. It is something neither her or I will ever forget!

well, since we're telling stories, i thought i might as well tell mine ^___^
ahh.....march 2nd, backstage tasteofchaos......
well, shannon and tomo and NOT matt (who'd left the night before) came backstage baefore 30stm played which was amazing......shannon and i talked about tattoos and how tall i was...tomo and i talked about sunglasses.....ha.
and then afterwards, met jared in the room.....omg, when we talked about matt leaving, i was crying, he was.......almost.......my god, he hugged me for such a long time.........ugh, i'm still so nostalgic about the whole experience.
pic right before we started crying.. i don't look like that all the time, ha.
/ends spam

I wanna meet them...
i screamed to toro and he looked at me and laughed at a concert.

i've screamed at all of them during a concert.
the only one caught off guard was...
matt cortez

Okay, I went to Toronto yesterday to meet MCR at their signing at the HMV. It started at 9 pm ( a tad later, as the boys were late ); and we were there at around 11 am. As the time got closer, we got to the near front of the line, and MCR came in their stretch black vehicle. They all jumped out, and ran into the HMV. Minutes later, we were standing in the store, waiting to get to their table. I felt that it was too quiet, so I screamed out a few random things.

"Bob, You're a SEXX GOD!"- everyone in line laughed: and i bet bob could hear me
"CONCH SHELL!!!!"
and "Gerard! I can SEE your NOSE!" -he shook his head and laughed.

What they were wearing:
Ray- Black pants, black tee, pointy black boots...hair was PERFECT. AMAZING! gah...the fro is fuzzy on the forehead tho
Bob- Dark jeans, black tee, black leather jacket....his eyes were so BLUE! his hands were all callused and cut up though...
Frank: Black and white striped shirt (NOT like Mikeys old one, thicker black lines) dark pants, hair was amazing...his smile was so sweet
Mikey: Winter jacket with the fur around the collar, the darkish green one...pretty pretty eyes
Gerard: tight black pants, tight black shirt...his hair is so gorgeous...and he really does talk out of the one side of his mouth-ITS ADORABLE! his little blemish was so cute...oh, and he had black stubble

We got to the front of the line, and I went last out of my friends. The following is what happened to me, for that fateful and amazing three minutes or so.

Ray: Hi, I'm Ray. (Shakes my hand)
Me: I know...can I get a hug Ray? (he nods, smiling)
Ray: Of course! (major hug, god he's so tall and muscular! and a REALLY good hugger.)
Me: I actually made you something!
Ray: Did you? Let's see! (hand him the shadowpath of him; he smiles) That is amazing...holy crap...thank you! (looking it over)
Me: You're welcome...(eyes focus on Bob)
Ray: What's your name? (I don't hear him) What's your name? (I still don't hear the poor man) Honey, what's your name? (laughing slightly)
Steph: Her name's Kristen. (giggling)
Ray: Oh, okay...(laughing as he signs my Three Cheers cover)

Me: Hi Bob.
Bob: Hey, how's it going?
Me: Good. I bought you a CD, but I don't know if you have it or not... (hands him a RUSH CD I bought earlier in the day for him)
Bob: Oh my god! This is like the ONLY one I DON'T have! Thank you! (looks over the back, Toro smiles and looks with him)
Ray + Bob: *Start singing the chorus of a Rush Song*
Me: I got you a button too. (hands Bob a Rush button)
Bob: Awesome! (takes button) Where should I pin it? (puts it on his jacket)
Me: Can I get a hug?
Bob: **censored** Yeah! (stands up and wraps his arms around me, hair brushing across my forehead) Thanks!
Me: No, thank you! (smiling)

Me: Hey Frank.
Frank: Hello. (looks at the Frankie mask in my hands, and grabs it from me) You HAVE to be kidding me. Holy **censored**! (looks up at me, smiling from ear to ear)
Me: Yeah... (Frank holds it to his face, looking around at Bob and Toro, Mikey laughs)
Bob: It looks just like you! (Toro laughs as Frank takes it off, looking back at me; handing back the mask)
Me: Oh, no...
Frank: IT'S FOR ME!? (awe-struck)
Me: Uh huh...(Frank jumps up and gives me a huge hug)
Frank: Thank you SO much, wow...just...**censored**. (smiling so wide)
Me: No problem...(looks down and realizes I still have Bob's letter with his cartoon) Oh! Here, Bob.
Bob: Thank you...hey, it's me! (laughing)

Me: Hey Mikey!
Mikey: Hey!
Me: I made this for you. (hands lionel block print of Mikey to Mikey)
Mikey: Sweet! That is so cool!
Gerard: Wow...that's good.
Mikey: Thank you! (shakes my hand)
Me: You're welcome Mikey...(smiling, look over at Gerard) Oh god...(starts crying)

Gerard: Hey...it's okay...
Me: Oh god...(still trying to stop tears)
Gerard: It's okay...(takes my hand) How are you?
Me: G-good...I bought you this CD (hands him the Dresden Dolls CD, as his face falls) I thought you might already have it...but...
Gerard: I do, you know, I got it the day it came out...(sad look in his eyes as he hands it back to me)
Me: Me too, it's so good...Well, I have the receipt, if you want to return it here for something else you'd like...(giving it back to him)
Gerard: No, I want you to take it back for something you like, since you already have it too..(hands CD back to me)
Me: But I think YOU should return it, it was a gift...(giving it back)
Gerard: (chuckling) No YOU return it....you should get something like...like...um...(thinks) Bauhaus.
Me: Bathouse? (confused)
Gerard: No...Bauhaus.
Me: Boathouse? (more confused)
Gerard: No...(laughing as Mikey starts giggling) here...(writes it down on the edge of a MyChem poster taped to the table)
Me: Thanks...(goes to take off the poster, but it is taped)
Gerard: It's stuck to the table...(knocks Mikey's elbows off it, and pulls it off, handing it to me)
Me: Thanks...can I give you a hug?
Gerard: (smiling) Of course you can..(outstretches his arms)
Me: (whispering into his ear) Thank you so much Gerard, you saved my life...I don't even want to know where I'd be without you...thank you so much...(sobbing)
Gerard: Oh, you're very welcome...(smiling, I hand him a letter I wrote him...his eyes scan the first few lines, before he looks back up at me; a sympathetic look in his eyes)
Woman in Security: I have to cut you now honey.
Me: WHAT?!
Gerard: Huh? (looks at me)
Woman: Your wristband...(laughing)
Me: Do I get to keep it?!
Woman: Of course...
Man in Security: You have to move now sweetheart.
Me: He still has my thing. (pointing at the cover inbetween Mikey and Gerard, Gerard's been staring at me, and not paying attention to the table)
Mikey: Yeah, he has her thing.
Gerard: Oh, sorry...(signs quickly) Here you go....take care, okay?
Me: I will...thank you so much guys...
Gerard: No problem...thank you...(waves, as I am ushered out of the lineup)

Yeah...BEST day in my LIFE.
I bought the Bauhaus CD.
but kept the Dresden Dolls, as Gerard's hands touched it
I had my friend Tori give Ray the Home Videos, and I have NO idea what he thought of them, and she can't remember

I am so happy, and meeting them, looking into their faces...I can never feel bad again...ever. Like, bad days will come and go...but they're always going to be there... in my mind, and just in how they affected me. They saved me, once more, if it's possible. Ray's sweet voice, and willingness to hug everyone in line. Bob's baby blue eyes, and his excited and happy grin as I gave him the CD. Frank's happiness as he saw the mask, and figured out that he got to keep it, his lunge over the table. Mikey's beautiful eyes, I don't even care that he doesn't have glasses anymore...he's so pretty...has skinny bony hands though..and Gerard...his caring eyes, his sweet smile...his voice...it's all too much. I wrote them each a message on the back of their art pieces...and I put my email...if they have time, who knows...I can only hope that they remember me a litte, even if it's as the crazy crying fit girl... It was the best day of my life, and saved me.

Okay i know this is kinda late for posting, but.......HOLY SHIT!!!! I was loving every bit of your story! xD Can't believe how lucky you were, I don't think i'll ever get the chance to met them. But......28TH NOVEMBER!! Can't wait!

^ awe; thank you so much :]
it was quite amazing...

but hey; frank comes out after almost EVERY show.
i met him after the london one too back in may.
so don't get discouraged :]

hey, how do you know when mcr is doing a signing like that? can someone pm me? id REALLY like to know.

^ it was posted on their website.

I'm guessing that you're allowed to bring cameras to these events?

you are allowed to have them;
but once you get to the band, security yells at you to put them away.
i was too busy talking to them to ask for pictures anyways...

but in london we asked frankie for a picture;
and he had to say no.
because he wanted to ensure that he could talk to everyone that was waiting.

How sad. Do you know a medicine that can make security guards not be scared of cameras? Okay, here's what I want to ask: will it ever even be possible for me to get a photograph with any of the members?

yes, it is.
frank took pics earlier in the day.
when there were not that many fans.


and some girls at the signing found a way to get their cameras past security. and asked the band to take pics.
mostly frank and gerard.

yeah.

i'm trying to convince my mother to take me to meet gerard. it's a two hour drive from where i live. oh man i REALLY hope i get to go
