Ok, so febuary 5th, 2000. Guess what happened? I saw the the smashing pumpkins at Berbati's Pan (a small club in portland, Oregon). It was originaly sopposed be at Music Millennuim, but they moved to due to safety issues. We took forever to park are car because, well, There wasn't good parking. But some how we finaly did get there. So we were walking down the road to get there when suddenly we here the entire group of fans screaming. We thought, something cool must be hapening, so we ran the rest of the way. We finaly make it to the end of that street when we notice Billy Corgan is walking right twords us. He kind of put his arms out like I could hug him if I wanted to. So of course I did. Then I kind of forgot I was sopposed let go of him, so he was trying to pry my arms off him. He said somthing about my shoes, Im not sure what but my friend said it was about them being cute and making me taller(i'm really short so I where big shoes alot). So about that time he left and I nearly passed out. I even called my mom on my friends cell phone. 5-6 hours later we actuly got to see them in concert. I was really close, so I got to make goo-goo eyes with james. He looked over at me and I blew him a kiss, he smiled all cute.
