Savanna's Story
Date of Meeting: December 08, 2006
i'll start at the very very beginning. alright, remember the bulletin that TSA posted from their myspace about having a few shows soon? well i freaked out. and then when they posted the next bulletin that said "EAST COAST SHOWS!" i literally jumped up and did a really long dance only to open the bulletin and find that they would only be in northeastern states and i got sad again. one of the shows was in connecticut and my friend katie lives in connecticut so i thought i'd try and convince my mom to let me fly to connecticut to see them for the last time for two years. and come november 26, i had a plane ticket to connecticut. my friend tiffany went with me to the concert. we got totally lost on the way there from hartford and it took us almost two hours to get there, but we finally made it. the first person i saw when i walked in was , of course, andrew because of all the 19 million girls surrounding him. then i saw katie yay! so i walked up to her and she told me that andrew was waiting and i turned around and he looked at katie and me and he had a really big smile on his face and waved. the 19 million girls finally went away and we talked to andrew for a bit and finally katie was like "so this is savanna." and he just kinda looked stunned for a minute and then he gave me a big hug and told me thanks for coming. then i was like "this is my best friend, tiffany!" and he asked if she flew too and she said yes so he gave her a big hug, as well. then i had to go find eric and he was on the other side of the merch table and i asked him if i could have a hug and he said "yes of course!" i don't think he knew who i was at that point so when i was hugging him over the table, i said "i flew all the way from florida just to give you a hug before you left!" so he climbed on the table to give me an even bigger/better hug and said "oh my god! i heard about you guys coming up here. thank you so much!" this hug was so big i could hardly breathe, seriously haha. after that, i went to stand with katie again and talk to andrew some more and while we were standing with him his mom called so he was like "okay i'll be right back" so me and katie talked some more and when he came back he told us that his mom just called to tell him that there was a girl that flew from florida that was gonna be at the show [soon after this, we were in a different room of the armory and i asked andrew if he could talk to my sister georgia and he was like "GEORGIA!?!" because he had remembered her from over the summer haha. i was like '...wow you remember?' and he said 'oh yes. i remember everything']. we hung out some more, me and katie finally found alison (she drove from virginia to the show =]) and hung out with her until eric and andrew played. so they played a few songs and then they were about to play this is a suitable valedictory and eric said "these girls are amazing" and pointed to alison and her friend brittany. and andrew said "so our friend katie here has been to every single connecticut show of ours and her friend jess couldn't be here tonight and it's her birthday so this song is dedicated to them!" katie was crying so hard because jess couldn't be there and i just wanted to give her a big long hug the whole time =[. (she was on the phone with jess the whole time i think haha) and right before he started playing the guitar, andrew looked over and smiled at me and tiffany. so they played 'this is a suitable valedictory' and afterwards he was like "this is the most amazing show so far. there's so many of you guys here and we're so happy to be here. we're seeing friends again from over the summer and our friend savanna flew all the way from florida to see us. so this song is for them!" and they played 'yellow birds and coal mines' and wow it made me so so happy. that's probably my second favorite song. they finished their set and we stood off to the side and waited for everyone to leave so we could talk to them again for a little while. and i gave eric a huge hug and told him good luck on his mission. then after that i gave him like 18 billion hugs. while me and tiffany were standing by him waiting to talk he kept telling everyone "these girls flew from FLORIDA!" haha. so we got our pictures and hugs with eric and then we went back to talk to andrew. and he gave tiffany and i guitar picks and hugs and we got pictures and he signed tiffany's shirt and a CD for our friend, audrey. katie told him she hoped to see him again soon and he said "i'm sure we'll be back through here again sometime soon" and i was like "yeah through HERE!" and i told him that if he didn't come back to florida soon, i would have to beat some ass. so he said he'd probably be back through there soon, hopefully haha. then it was time to leave. =[ i had to say bye to katie and alison and andrew and the hardest to say bye to was eric. so i went back to give him a hug and told him good luck (again) and to have fun. and he thanked us again for coming all the way to connecticut to see them. december 8, 2006 is a night i will never forget. it was, without a doubt, the best night of my life.
