The Wilkinsons opened the show with I believe, “I Had A Dream”. Other songs that were performed during this 35 minute set were: “Feel”, “Real Bad Mood” where Amanda said the word, hehe if you know what I mean J; “Feel”, “Don’t I Have A Heart”, “Boy Oh Boy”, “Fly”, “26 Cents” and the whole crowd got to sing the last part of the chorus as usual; and they closed with “Jimmy’s Got A Girlfriend”. During “Fly” Amanda changed a lyric: “I think it’s so cute how he says he’s from Lima” J For the last song the crowd was told by Amanda to stand up and that’s exactly what we (I) did. I was just having the best time ever stomping my feet to the beat of every song and singing along. During the show, Steve said, “Isn’t that smell from Cinnabon driving you guys crazy? It’s driving us crazy.” Then during the next song they did, a worker from Cinnabon came from the store and gave Tyler some sticky buns and then she came back to give Amanda some coffee or something like that I believe. Amanda and Tyler did their usual dancing, bouncing up and down. Amanda was doing a ton of dancing and just seemed like she was having the greatest time ever. J They closed the first show and took all their goodies with them and then it was time for the public signing and fan club meet and greet. And that’s what I can recall from the first show.
1st Fan Club Meet & Greet
We all said “hi” to one another. I walked up to Amanda and gave her the gift that I had wrapped for her with the ceramic hearts and a little index card, which said what the hearts said, the song, a picture of me playing guitar and my junior prom invitation that I made on my computer. While I was taking out the gift Amanda said “You didn’t have to do this.” And I said, “Sure I did, you’re special.” I took out the golden wrapped gift and gave it to Amanda so she could open it and I helped her open it and I said, “Let me get this out.” And Amanda said, “Sure.” Steve and Tyler were wondering what it was and Steve joked, “Ooh is it a puppy.” Once I had gotten the hearts out, I explained to Amanda what was on it, her name on front, mine on back. Amanda kept looking and she was reading the bottom heart, which had the special quote on it. Amanda just loved it and thought it was beautiful. Then the hearts and the rest of the gift were laid nicely on the table in front of us. I then had Amanda sign a copy of my song, “Amanda, My Sweetheart” and you’ll see what it says in the picture. I didn’t get the chance to take a picture of Amanda with it, but it is clear in my memory and maybe this next part will explain why. Before we took the group picture, I asked Amanda the question I have been waiting to ask her. I said, “Amanda can I ask you something?” She said “Sure.” And I said, “Can I have a kiss?” Amanda said, “A kiss? Why sure!” And I’m not quite sure if it got on film, but she kissed me on my right cheek right close to my eye. And then I just put my arm around her for the picture and I just felt this tightness on my cheek the rest of the day. My Angel kissed me and it was the most incredible feeling in the world. I then waited for everyone to finish up and Amanda said, “Thanks Brian” And I then said, “I’m hoping to stick around for the next show and meeting and I hope we can talk more about everything.” Amanda said, “Sure.” And I then walked out with the hugest smile on my face.
The Wilkinsons opened once again with “I Had A Dream”. During this show, the same songs were performed but we were treated to bonus songs. I’m not sure of the title of this one but it goes: “Whoa whoa listen to the music, whoa whoa listen to the music all the time.” I always have the best time at Wilkinsons concerts and I am in my own little world there. During the show, Steve said, “You know, we were treated from Cinnabon during the last show.” And then Amanda said, “Mmm anybody from Zale’s wanna give me some jewelry?” Amanda and Tyler were as always dancing around and Amanda did a ton more dancing, which was sooo cute to watch her do that. J Then for the last songs we were told to stand up and I was having a great time as always! They then surprised us with the bonus songs and Amanda said, “You know, we’re gonna get in trouble for this.” But of course I said, “Nah, don’t worry about it.” All these songs are just super fantabulous and their concerts are just the best things in the world.
2nd Fan Club Meet & Greet
This meet and greet was the most special of them all. We all said “hi” to one another again. And then I was over by Amanda again and we didn’t really have much time to talk this time, so I made everything go right after one another. This time it was my turn to ask Amanda if I could kiss her and she kinda played with me in a cute way and she said “No” but she rolled her eyes up and it was just such an adorable moment when she did that. I can hardly describe it. Then she said, “But I’m all sweaty.” But as you can imagine it didn’t matter to me. I asked her for the alone picture-just Amanda and I and I kissed her on her right cheek and it was the most incredible 3 seconds of my life. Kissing my Angel was the best moment of my life and my lips are just so…so…beyond words now. Then I asked Amanda about the prom and she said, “I’m not sure because we’re moving over to the new label and I will contact you and let you know.” And I said, “I totally understand about you being busy and all.” I walked away saying my goodbyes to all of them especially Amanda and it was just such a very special time to be with Amanda, my Angel.
And that is really what I can remember...how Amanda-mazing and Amanda-dorable!!!
