Finding Avril Frenzy
After the concert, we waited out by the Sum 41 tour buses. There were about 60 people waiting there to get things signed. The bouncers at the venue made everyone get off the property, and many people left. In the end, it was Myself, Sharifa, Katie, and 4 Sum 41 fans who were very nice.
Members from Schoolyard Heroes, Monty Are I, and Amber Pacific came and left the venue without being bothered, cause they're not overly famous. We anxiously waited for someone to come out.
Finally around midnight, Cone from Sum 41 came out to meet with the four people that waited for him. He talked to them for quite a bit. While they were chatting, Steve came out and came straight to us. We congratulated him on the great show and talked for a minute. He asked what our cool things we were holding were, and we explained that we're Staff Members from Avril Bandaids and would like to give this stuff to Avril. He told us that he hadn't seen Avril in a week and that he could maybe talk to Deryck or somebody to give it to her. Of course he was lying. He knew we knew he was lying too. The thing was that the guys weren't allowed to tell anybody that Avril was there. She obviously wanted her birthday to be private. The reason why we were kicked out of the venue so fast was so they could set up for Avril's birthday party. We thanked Steve for the help and he took off. He was such a nice and funny guy!
Apparantly Cone didn't get the memo about not telling people that Avril was here. After he was finished talking to the people awaiting autographs and stuff, he came over to us and started talking to us. We congratulated him on his performance and chatted for a bit as well. I knew Sharifa was too nervous to ask him about Avril since Steve had just politely declined, so I took a shot at asking Cone. Cone is probably one of the nicest guys I've ever met. I explained our situation and that Sharifa and I are Administrators from Avril Bandaids and we wanted to give these gifts to her. He said something like "That's awesome. How bout I go and talk to them to see if we can set something up.". We were sort of taken back by this, because we didn't expect him to help us out.
I owe my life to Cone. He helped us out big time. Here are some pictures he took with us:
