This might get lengthy because I'm still on a high from the big
event
this afternoon. I'll give you pretty much a play by play although a lot
of
it is boring and I'm sure this will get lengthy due to my excitement.
I get
out of school at 1 pm. (I'm a senior and I have the last two periods
free)
and hung around for about 45 minutes watching the preperations. More
than a
dozen police officers walked around working security and I cannot tell
you
how exciting the whole thing was. I am friends with the daughter of
our
assistant principal and offered to pick her and her brother up from
their
school to bring them to West to see the concert.
As I pulled out of the
parking lot, the limo with the band pulled in! So I see it as I was the
first to see them! We got back to school and I was allowed backstage
with
the press to meet and take pictures, videos, and talk with the band.
Honestly, what a bunch of guys. They were the nicest, most personable
people
you could imagine. I took a bunch of pictures (I tried to take many of
Evan
for you), but
even
better than the pictures in my view is the video I got of them. I
videotaped the entire press conference and the concert! As you will see
in
the video, Evan talked a great deal and was more or less the leader
(needless to say, all the girls at West thought he was gorgeous). So I
got
back there about 20 minutes before the press conference began and was
going
down the line seeing if I knew everyone's name. I got to Evan and said
to a
girl in front of me, "that's Evan right". He overheard and we talked
for a
couple minutes. I told him how I had come across your website a couple
nights ago and he commented on what an amazing site it was. I told him
I
had said I would take pictures of him for the site and he asked if it
was
you (he referred to you by name Joanna) that I was talking about. Then
we
proceeded into the auditorium.
I wasn't in the front row, but I had an
even
better view. I was in the area in front of the front row and videotaped
the
entire concert. Because of that, the only pics I know I have of Evan
are
from before and possibly after the concert. A friend of mine took
pictures
with my camera during the concert and I don't know whether or not she
got
any pics of Evan. The concert consisted of three songs but was still
something I will never forget. Afterwards, a number of students and
children
of faculty got to meet and get autographs from the band. That was crazy
because they had a flight to catch to New York so it was really rushed
so I
was very fortunate to meet them beforehand at the press conference...
