My GC Experience at The Sonar in Baltimore - THANX GC! YOU GUYS ROCK!

So I won the Grand Prize on the GoodCharlotte.com site. I won meet and greets for Aug. 23rd. I can't believe my good fortune! I arrived at The Sonar and showed the lady at the ticket office my email notices that I had won. She contacted GC's tour manager, Mark and he set me up. I was escorted to GC's dressing room and when I opened the door there was Benji, Joel, Deano, Paul and Billy and they all said, "Hi Beverly". I gave them all their stuff that I had bought them. Benji opened his up right away and seemed to really love it. I got him and Joel an Orioles key chain. Benji said he was going to buy a new car and it would be perfect for his new keys. He hooked the key chain onto his belt loop and wore it for the show. :) Joel loved the things I had bought Harlow. I got two hugs from Benji, one from Joel, one from Paul and I enjoyed meeting them all. They signed a lot of stuff for me and I kept telling them how much I love their music. Benji asked me if I liked GMR and I told him I have 3 copies and I love it. :) Joel loved the little pumpkin bib and held it up for Nicole to see and I said hi to her and told her how cute Harlow is. Someone asked me if I would still listen to GC if Benji put on cowboy boots and went country. Haha! I said it would never happen but I would buy it. I got to wait on the side of the stage behind scenes for three songs. As I walked outside to wait for the show to start, Benji walked out and asked to see my guitar tatt. He looked down my GCshirt and looked at it. I love the guys of GC! They were all super nice and made me feel so happy. I am so appreciative and I thank GC for everything! I love them guys!!

I didn't see any guitars around them. :) They were in their dressing room. I opened the door and there they all were staring at me and saying 'Hi Beverly'. :) lol I'm not the shy type. ;) I love talking. ;) I kept saying how much I love GC. I can't help it! lol But I also told them that they will never ever read or hear any comment from me that is negative. Joel said he knows I would never do that. :) I got nothing but love for the GC men. :) I call them The Magnificent Men of GC to Joel a lot. :) lol

Lol I was off to the side... on Nik's side. I needed to be able to go to the bar ;)

haha I'm glad you went back stage and got to meet them (again? isn't it) They were really short to their fans after the show though. I was with my friend cuz she wanted to meet Benji and I was literally sitting on the ground by their bus.

They all were so nice to me I can't even express how nice they were. :) This is my 3rd time meeting them. :) Poor Mark works his booty off though! He was nice to me too. :)
