Hey there!!!!!

I am Jeff Stackhouse an artist from Mission B.C. Canada and I just came back from the AVRIL show in VANCOUVER... This is the 3rd time I have seen avril super CLOSE UP!

There have actually been 4 AVRIL VANOCOUVER shows... The first I think, was at the Commedore and was FREE!!! Come on what is better then a FREE Avril show??????????

The second was the GM PLACE show... where I went close to front row and got some amazing pictures... that was WICKED. I took a picture of my friend and EVAN when he was with the group. The show was sweet and it was so cute when Avril was lifted up on the lead singer of GOB's shoulders.

Then there was the Mall tour. I also when to this at Metrotown Center.I got some pics of Avril here but there was a ton of people. You can still see that it is her in the pics. I ran all around the block that day after Avrils BUS! I think she thought it was funny!


Thennnnnnnnnnnnnnn

DRUM ROLL PLEASE..........

Comes The BONES 2004-Eyes TOUR THAT HAPPENED ON WEDNESDAY THIS WEEK!

It was amazing? Who has seen this show? It ROCKED!

Avril was great. I respect her even more as a musician this time because it was outstanding to see her Playing all her own stuff. I Loved her on the piano... she was very elegant... I loved those songs.

Also she ( of course) played several gutairs and rocked out on them.... and at one point played it quitely on a stool.

When She went on the piano a chandelar with flames came down from the cieling and it was just awesome... She had flickering lights that looked like candels all around her ... so great!

At the beginning there was this giant sheet of fabric that had avril's name on it with her fist logo and when she started you could see her giant shilloette on the fabril 20 feet tall! It was cool because you could see she was wearing devil horns before we actually got to see her. Then the fabril came down and we saw that the big shilloette was actually just a tiny little YET POWERFUL Avril!

That blew me away... I just loved the devil horns... no one wears them like Avril.. it really suited her.


As for songs , she played mostly ever song on both albums and added Blurs WHOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOO song into the mix.....

And a biiiig surprise on this song was when Avril got on the DRUMS!

Wow I didn't know Avril could rock out on the drums like that... it was just so cool.


Avril did show just who she is and that's an amazing person on and off the stage.

After the show I was thrilled... what more could I ask for ...

I got to take 2 full rolls of film at the front of the stage... at both concerts in Vancouver I could almost touch her from my seat!

So I thought it doesn't get much better then being this close with this many awesome photographs... but just wait!

It was pouring rain that night so only the hardcore Avril fans stayed outside waiting for Avril... the Wind blew and the rain came down by the buckets ,... but we didn't leave! We chanted AVRIL AVRIL... because we love her... not to be annoying.

After 2 hours I thought she was probably back at her hotel or something but then the security said........... SHE"S GOING TO COME OUT HER AND SIGN AUTOGRAPHS FOR YOU!

I was like OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEETTTTTTTTTTT

So the excitment grew and grew then we finally got to meet Avril!

She was just so sweet, so cute, so unbelivable.. she wanted everyone to get something signed... she really cared about the fans. Imagine doing a 2 hour plus non stop concert and then taking the time to meet the fans and sign autographs!

IT was WICKED to say the least.

Avril has signed autographs and met with FANS EVERY SINGLE TIME she has been to VANCOUVER! I guess she must love us!

Wednesday night I got 2 ,...yes 2, Avril Autographs.

First she signed my totally amazingly cute picture of her Jumping in the air... one of her first-ever photographs. In the photograph she has black boots on and long brown hair. I thought that was awesome she signed that photograph in particular!

Then I painted a sign at home before the concert. It reads " I ( HEART ) U AVRIL!"
And it's got a lot of shiny material on it and a lot of stars and it's something that is very dear to me ( obviously) because I painted and drew it myself... so it was so great to have Avril not only see it with her very own eyes but then SIGN IT TOO!

It was a fantastic night.. I was so thrilled to see parents stay outside in the cold with their daughters because they realized how much Avril means to them... I was like.... wow... not many parents are this freakin cool!


It was also thrilling to see the girls cry after meeting there hero.. they love her so much... so do I .. but the girls just connect with her on that female to female level that was just unreal.

So there you have it... the whole night with Avril... I didn't get to kiss her but I think my night was second to none.

AVRIL COME SEE ME AGAIN OR MARRY ME IF YOU LIKE IF YOU SEE THISSSSSSSSS!

HAHA I think Avril is gonna start to know me if I see her at every show!

I bet she remembers me. ( and I hope she loves me, like she does all her fans)

She was so sweet you have no idea how sweet!~

AVRIL 4 LIFE!
