My sister and I were undecided about going to see Hellogoodbye or not, but one day, while browsing on Purevolume, I came across nevershoutnever!, the opening band, and instantly fell in love! Christofer Drew is SO freaking cute, I couldn't pass the show up, and decided we would go so I could steal him! Har har har.
The line wasn't too bad when we got there, about an hour before the show, and miraculously, my sister's friend, Liz and her mom, Janine (sp?) are up front. They offer for us to stand with them, and we accept. If it wasn't for them, I wouldn't have been up front for nevershoutnever! My deepest gratitude goes toward them. That's where the real story begins.
As soon as he walks onto stage with his guitarist, Casey (sp?), the crowd pretty much swoons. And frankly, I do too. Kids sing his songs along with him, but even though I don't know shit, Christofer Drew still, for some reason, decides to point at me during one of his songs, which really kind of freaked me out. Then, he did it again during yet another song with an added wink. He only did that twice and BOTH TIMES WERE FOR ME!!! I totally went crazy inside; I won't lie. And unfortunately, his set came to a close, but he promised he would be out afterward. Heh.
Playradioplay! played some sweet tunes, then Ace Enders totally blew me away like they did last time. I love him/them so much. They encompass such a positive message in a non-preachy way. It's wonderful. The world really needs more people like Ace Enders. No joke.
So Nora and I leave after this, in search of little Christofer Drew so I can
The show, unfortunately comes to a close and we still can't find him. We were debating whether or not we should stay inside and wait or risk going outside in hopes of find him by his little band. We chose the latter. It was HUGE mistake.
About three minutes later, Christofer Drew shows up INSIDE the venue, but obviously, we can't go back in. A couple girls take pictures with him while everyone else is outside wailing for him, but he disapears to the back of the venue again. So I decided to go around the venue to the back to find him while Nora keeps an eye out for him up front. I went back and forth about four times, and I finally spot him inside, sitting on a stool doing nothing. I freak out and don't know what to do. I go back to Nora, then to the back of the venue. He walks by and spots me out of the corner of his eye, but God was his expression priceless. You've gotta be fucking kidding me, it almost seemed like he wanted to say.
According to his knowledge, he was bombarded by not only the front but the BACK now, too. he thinks there's no escape. If he had just taken the time to notice, he would have realized it was JUST ME. No one else, just one, poor, innocent girl his age that not going to do anything to him. I must have looked completely creepy and stalkerish to him, though.
I see him talking on his phone, and I run back to Nora to tell her this. At this point, neither one of us know what to do. We know that he won't be coming toward the front for fear of getting mobbed, but we don't want to look totally creepy by going to the back to meet him, but that really shouldn't have mattered because he had already spotted me and I had scared him shitless.
So then, all of a sudden, his van drives by the front and goes toward the back. All the girls think Christofer Drew is in there, but I know better. I run back to follow the van, but by the time I actually reach the back of the venue, a car door slams and the van takes off. I'm confused by what has just happened, especially as I see the van go back around the venue. And then I spot him: little Christofer Drew sitting in the passenger seat of the car as it drives away without any acknowledgement.
Rage seeps into every one of my limbs as I run back to Nora to tell her what's just happened. She's in as much bewilderment as I am. I could not believe that A SEVENTEEN YEAR OLD could pull that kind of crap off! We'd always joked how band members might consider pulling off a stunt like that in order to get away from all the girls, but we NEVER thought it would actually happen. And we definitely didn't think that a little kid would do that, either.
I'm really mad, by this point, as we are forced to give up and go back to the car, but I can't get over the fact that Christofer Drew actually did that!! It was SO incredulous; I just could not get over that.
I'm STILL really fucking mad at him for doing that. He's not even that popular yet, and people like ALEX GASKARTH still come out to meet people. I mean, WHAT THE FUCK?! I am pissed out of my mind at him. But finally, the other day, I gained enough sense in myself to go and find the two lines in those songs that he sang to me. As soon as I found the first one, my heart pretty much ceased hating him.
Oh my God, I pray for another, chance to drive down back highways 'til I stumble upon your beautiful face.
I'm calling all the time, you know I interrupt, and it hurts when all I hear is you were hanging up.
Needless to say, I could never hate Christofer Drew....
BUT IF HE PLAYS ON THE FUCKING AP TOUR, AND I DON'T MEET HIM;
I REALLY WILL HATE HIM.
But not really.
