I went to the Levitown show (July) It was
like a kegger. Real up close and personal
so we were right there, right in front of Baz. The show
was absolutely incredible!!
After the show we were standing by
the limo (cause of all the guy
there the one that tries to hit on me during
the show turns out to be the owner of
the
limo--so i'm stickin by his side). Anyway standing by the limo with
my friend
and about
30 people or so cause we're also near where the guys have to come out
(it's outside
so it's like a makeshift backstage/dressing area/trailer).
All the sudden
this normal looking
guy in khakis and a t-shirt comes walking right up to us..except
he's not
so normal it's Jimmy!! He just starts talking to us like we know
him.. like hi
what's up?
He doesn't talk or even really acknowledge anyone else around, it
was
like we
were friends and he came over to specifically talk to us...it was really
cool!
So
we talked for awhile and then went over to the side cause he said Baz was
def.
coming out
to sign autographs. So were hanging w/ Jimmy and Baz comes out so
we have to leave jimmy to get in line to get Baz's autograph.
We stood in line,
finally
got up there, now Sebastian is sitting on a stool behind a bar we're on
the
other side
of the bar so I jump up onto the bar (in a dress) and yank my friend up
next
to me (it made for a better pic) so we got his autograph and pic. but just
as
someone
took the pic some girl put her arm in the way...but Baz was cool and was
like take
another one so I've got one w/an arm in it and one w/ out. I don't
think
I've ever
smiled so much in my life. I didn't even know what to say...I asked
him if he
was
gonna play in Philly and he said he couldn't get any gigs there.
I'm actually
holding
his hand in the picture don't remember grabbing his hand but obviously
i
did! So
while he was still signing stuff we hung out with Jimmy and Larry a little
(my
friend
wanted to leave if we had stayed who knows maybe we woulda partied w/
them) anyway
Jimmy asks for my # cause he's staying at Sebastian's all week before
they go
to japan and it's only about 2hrs from my house. So of course i gave
it to
him.
He called 2 days later from SEBASTIAN's House!!! It was so cool!
So I told
him I was
going to a Cinderella show that night in Philly and he said that Larry
had
mentioned it and they might go...so they did Jimmy, Larry, and his girlfriend
(forget her name, she was really nice though, they've been together for
a long
time...yrs).
Hung out with them at the bar and they did get me a backstage pass (it
wasn't really
backstage though, after the show they roped off a section of the bar)
so I hung out in there with them and met Jeff and Eric from Cinderella
(met the
other members later that night and of my own doing):) So then we
went our
separate
ways But Jimmy still had awhile before Japan and I guess he was bored,
not
being
from around here and all. So the one night he asked me to come hang
out
with him,
I had to work till 11 but i said ok and got directions from him.
Well I
started
my journey, got lost and decided it just wasn't worth it after I realized
it
was still
gonna take me like 2hrs to get there and i'd been driving for about 45min
already...
I already knew that the only people still awake were Jimmy and Bam-Bam
(plus
he's got 2 little boys I didn't want to wake them up or piss Sebastian
off at
all) so I decided i could meet up with him the next day...that's when i
talked to
Bam-Bam...I
called to say i wasn't coming (yup i have a phone #....it's the business
line but
it's Baz's voice on the machine AAAAAHHHHH)! Anyway Bam-Bam told
me
that Jimmy
had already left to meet me at the meeting spot we had set up...I should
of
just
went but I was tired..it was late...etc. so I told Bam-Bam to apologize
for me
and to have
him call me. So he called me later that night and we set up a movie
for
the
next day (they were leaving for Japan now in 2days). So I drove up
there it
took
like 3hrs( Sebastian's wife gave Jimmy the directions to give me but now
I
know an easier way. Met Jimmy at a diner and went and saw Something
About
Mary (he paid for everything). They were supposed to be rehearsing
that
afternoon
but last time Jimmy checked in with Maria (Baz's wife is managing them
now)
Sebastian was still asleep. So after the movie I had to get going
and it was
obvious
that hanging out at the house was not an option...i did convince him to
let
me drop him off at the house and i did get to see Sebastian and Maria
briefly,
they were on their way out when we got there... We pull into the
driveway
and
Maria is out at the car putting their sons in. I got out of the car
with Jimmy
and he asked
Maria if it was okay if I hung out..she said they were on their way out
(so that
was an obvious no). She said hi, she's really pretty, really petite
and was
wearing
stretch pants and like a sports bra kinda top...not an ounce of flab..I
can't
even
wear that around the house let alone out i public. So I'm standing
at my car
with Jimmy showing him the pics from their show that I had taken
when a guy
comes out
of the house...now I don't want to stare so I'm acting like I'm really
into
just looking at these pictures...it was him though DA'MAN. He was
wearing
shorts, sweatshort kind of shorts (I think it's kind of a blur), but I
know he
definitely
had a hat on and his hair pulled back so at first I wasn't even sure until
he
got closer
....aaahhh...still shaking thinking about it. I didn't get to go
in or even
have
much of a conversation with Baz(he said hi and all but he was annoyed that
Jimmy
brought me there) but it's understandable he's got a family to protect
and
there
are crazy people out there (not me..well..:). So that's basically
it!!! It was
definitely an unforgettable experience but I know it is not my last meeting
with
Sebastian and Company (not if I can help it)!!!
