Concert: Paris

Date: September 28th 2004




As a lot of people know, I won a meet and greet with Avril in Paris.
So I had to go yesterday, Tuesday, to Paris on the train with my friend Maartje and someone from BMG Holland (recordcompany) called Amanda. Amanda was, and still is, a really cool girl so we really had fun whole these two days. We went by taxi to the Hotel that was very funny.. everywhere Delfs blue.. veils, quilt, wall covering... really kitch! We went to eat in a restaurant that we all liked but the food was discusting.. cold meat :S! So we only eat the frites. After that we changed our clothes and took a taxi to the concerthall where the concert was. Amanda called Patrick, a guy that does the meet and greet stuff, if Matt was there on the meet and greet and he said yes. So I was really happy because I’m a really really really big fan of Matt!

We missed Bowling for soup, but I didn’t cared because I’m going to see them already in Amsterdam on the Avril show tomorrow. The show was really cool. I had a great time. She preformed really well and I have to say that I was more looking at Matt then to the rest .

After the show we had the meet and greet. We came there and me and my friend where the only one who had a meet and greet. I saw that band and I thought also Matt, but on the end I found out it was Devin when he turned around when we where walking out of the Meet and Greet area.

I wanted to hug Avril but she said: I stink so if I was you I didnt do that . That was really funny! She got my present.. and she said that it was really sweet. She signed stuff for me and got on the picture with me.

After that Avril was gone, very quick.. I walked to Craig to congratulate him with his birthday and gave him a little present. He was so nice and said is wat really nice and sweet to give him something. He signed stuff and he also went on the picture with me.

Then suddenly a guy said that we had to go. But I didn’t even saw Matt.. and didn’t even had the time to go on a picture with Charlie/Devin. Then they told us that Matt was in a shower, but Patrick wanted to get him for us. But that big guy was "higher" then Patrick, so Patrick couldn’t do anything for us. So I was so dissapointed.. and I gave my presents for Matt to Craig. Craig said that he made sure that he will give the presents to Matt. That was very nice of him.

So I was really dissapointed.. Amanda saw that and she felt so sorry for me..
So after that we went to drink cocktails to cheer me a little bit up. After that we went back to the hotel because Maartje and I wanted to see something of Paris the next day.

Today we stand up early, but Amanda excedently didn’t wake up so we had to call her up! But we had breakfast and we made a tour in Paris and shop (Maartje and I bought some presents to thank Amanda). It was lot of fun!! But on 1 pm we already had to get the train back home, so we couldn’t do a lot. Now I’m home, after hours of travelling! Hope you like the pictures!

How the storry ends... that a mistory because Amanda is going to try tomorrow if I can meet Matt in Amsterdam because I also going to that show too. If that is not possible she will personally kicks his ass! ... get so me autographs for me and maybe some drumsticks signed too.. so let all hope for me.. that tomorrow I meet Matt... because that was why I really wanted to go to Paris.. to see Matt!!!

P.S. I WANT TO THANK AMANDA BECAUSE SHE REALLY IS SO COOL! I HAD A GREAT TIME WITH YOU IN PARIS AND THANK YOU THAT YOU WANT TO HELP ME TO MEET MATT!! YOU SO SWEET.. YOUR THE BEST!!
