Newsboys in New Orleans
Tuesday July 31, 2001

~<><~

I almost didn't get into this concert, but a REALLY nice guy gave me his ticket! I wish I had gotten his name, but I didn't. : ( Thank you to him anyway though! Here's the story of my day if you would like to read it. I was right next to the stage, except for the security gaurds. So here you go!

~<><~

Jeff! (he stole Pete's pants!)

Won't you take me to, Funky Town?

I got one of Phil's picks!

But Mark (security guard) wouldn't give me the beads!! : (

Jeff looks a little spacey

Hellooo Jeff! Come in Jeff!

Jody!

Hey, he's wearing the same clothes as FCD. Ohwell, let's hope they were washed! O_o lol ~_^

Jody talking to Jeff

Like the backdrop? I don't remember the name of it, it's Comedy/Drama something.

Peter

Peace to all!

Peter mostly

It was either get Jeff, and Pete washed out or no Jeff, and Pete darker.

Peter and Duncan

There was way to much mist and a lot of my pics didn't turn out good cause of it

Pete and Dunny

Along with that stupid mist again! ARGH!

If you can see it,

I'm sorry about the dog hair. I wonder what Jody's looking at?

Pete and Phil

I soo wanted those beads! They would've matched the gold ones I got from Tony! (OCS)

Phil and Jeff

I have no idea what that white thing is, but I have a lot of them in my pictures

Yodeling girl! You know this one has a story! So here goes!

here to read it though ^_^

Peter talking

Something he does A LOT of!! One question got a 10 min answer! That's ok though!

He and Phil did most of the talking.

Jeff talked a bit and Jody seriously only said 2 words! They were fun!

Hehe! Look there's even a spot for Dunny,

but I lamenated it so ohwell. I'll get another one next time! : )

Back to the Concert Page

 

The story of my day ^_^
The whole thing started the day before after the really cool Supertones concert (which I have no pics from because my camera broke!! : ( ) when my friend informed me that my dad was unable to get Newsboys tickets for the next day I was devastated! But I told God that whatever he did was fine by me and even though I was a bit restless I was totally ok with the whole situation. Tuesday morning came, went to the mass event and afterward rushed to the Convention Center where I took up perch at the front of the line to see if anyone had a spare ticket to give. I started talking to some guys and told them of my predicament. Then, much to my surprise, one of them gave me his ticket!! I was like "I'm going to hug you now!" and I did. I really wish I had gotten his name or something but I didn't, : ( ohwell. Was the first person to get into the Big Easy and was right in front, behind the security guards. The one in front of me, that was too mean to give me Phil's beads, was named Mark and he was pretty nice up 'til that. The concert rocked, but the pics didn't come out too good, stupid mist!! After the concert I rushed over to the "personal meeting". Well the Newsboys didn't get over as fast as the fans did and we found ourselves with some spare time. We sang Breakfast a cappella, some guy flipped his eyelids inside out, a lady sang the presidents, a guy sang the Roman numerals up to 18, we did some crazy Jamaican type song, and a girl from Florida came up and yodeled with her friends. That was funny 'cuase the guy that was like the moderator joked with them to be careful 'cuase he heard that the Newsboys were looking for a yodeler. So when the Newsboys finally showed up, minus Dunny : (, he brought the girls up and they yodeled again for the Newsboys. They found it amusing. Then the Newsboys answered a bunch of questions with Peter and Phil doing most of the talking, but I enjoyed hearing them. When asked where Dunny was, they said they didn't know! Lol, it was funny! Like, they only saw him during the shows then he hops in his limo and leaves. ^_^ Then, the last picture posted, was when we got to go up afterward and have them sign stuff. Jody was pretty funny. He joked with me that I was trying to get him to sign my thing twice, when I was trying to pass it to Phil, who told me that it was against the rules for him to pass it down the line. So I gave it to Pete, I think I may have seen Summer standing on the side of the stage but I ain't sure. I barely got Jeff to sign it as he walked out, I had to tap him on the shoulder to get his attention. Then I went about my way, happy as a clam for the next year until they came by ABQ again! And that's my story, I have lots more to say, but this is the part that has the Newsboys in it, the rest you probably don't care to know about, except those adorable otters!! ^_^
