Concert: San Jose

Reviewer: heartxstrings

Date: April 30th 2003


It was April 30th and my sis and me were sooo excited to see Avril for the second time, since were humungous fans. We wanted to leave at like 10 am since it too about 2 hours to get there. But our freakin Dad that was supposed to take us was taking forever and decided he was too tired to take us so our mom came home from work to go and we didn’t leave until like 2:30!! We were totally pissed bcuz we thought we’d have no chance in meeting anyone. So we finally got there and said were gonna meet freakin someone from the band!!! We found the buses and simple plan was out and talking to people. We gotta meet David and Chuck, which was totally rad. And then we were waiting and saw Matt skating but when we called him he just went inside..he was on his cell phone. And as we were sitting there we met some other people who got their like an hour earlier and got to meet Evan!!!! But its okay. Then as we were waiting we saw Jesse, so we yelled his name and he came over! J yay!! There was a gate between us so I told them there was a door to come out by us so he did! We got pics and autographs and talked for awhile. He was awesome! My mom called my cell and he was trying to talk to her! He’s great. He was also telling us how he was having the hardest time trying to skate and couldn’t even olie. He also said that they were all at the park earlier around 11..we were totally bumbed. Anyway..he was so cool though bcuz we didn’t have a pen and no one around us had one either so he went all the way back to the tour bus just to get a pen..hes so cool! J So he left after awhile and we were left sitting. It was still totally fun though bucz we made friends with a bunch of people. There was a wall covering all the tour buses except simple plans so we couldn’t see what was going on. But we did go on this handle things and look over the wall to see what was happening. And then we heard skate boards. And after a long time of trying to see who was there and yelling peoples names..we saw Avril’s camera guy and talked to him..then we saw Matt! And yelled for him and he came over!! Yay!! He had a wicked taking back Sunday shirt on..so I was all ohh u like them and my sis gave him a high 5..totally awesome. We got pictures and autographs and talked for a little bit. He’s so gorgeous! When he signed my shirt he holded onto my arm and when he let go of my arm he kinda just slipped it off..woopwoop. J We saw him skating earlier and his board was pink but when he came over it was black so I asked him that I thought it was pink and he said it was simple plan’s and he said he thinks they might be gay(jokingly)..haha. We asked him about his tattoo and what it meant. It means life in Japenese. So he left after while bcuz he really wanted to skate down this hill. Anyway we were sitting again and made friends with avril’s camera guy. So it was like 7:30 and the show already was starting but we wanted Avril. Even though we had no jackets in very cold wheather and I was shaking so much..and I had to pee and the show was already started. But I wouldn’t move bcuz we wanted Avril. Later this lady came over and were making fun of us for waiting..stupid ugly bitch! So we went to check over the wall to look by Avril’s bus and we saw Avril so we started freaking out! She skated up by holding on to a golf cart. But didn’t come over to us. Then her, her camera dude and a security guy went in a golf cart and were driving around. She drove right by us..my sis was all holy fucking shit its avril. I was yelling at the security dude bcuz he was telling me not to go after her..so he pissed me off..i was saying I wasn’t gonna attack her. We were yelling her name but she didn’t say anything but its okay. She did turn all the was around and smiled at me!!! Yay! That freakin made my day I was acculy noticed by Avril Lavigne! So she was driving around for awhile and got pulled over by a police officer bcuz she was driving all crazy..in and out of lanes. And the security dude came back over and told us she got a ticket. Avril later came back but didn’t say or do anything. Its okay bcuz I gotta see her in person other then on the stage that’s my freakin dream! Somewhat..even though I’d really like to acculy meet her. So later after awhile we decided to go inside a little before Simple Plan was going to begin..it was totally awesome. We missed Gob but its all good. When we went in the arena all these people were looking at us and asking all these questions bcuz we had autographs all over our shirts and stuff. We had assigned seats that weren’t too great so we snuck up to the very front…it was awesome. She rocked soo much! And they played Fuel for the first time in front of an audience. Then when the 2 chicks got to go onstage.i knew them..they were like 11 and 9 or something. There like my moms friend daughter..they didn’t even know the words to complicated! Stupid! Anyway.. I love her Avril and and the band soooo much! And the show was sooo totally awesome..i had a wicked time! Avril rocks!!
