A while back I noticed the venue in the Hague had posted about a contest. You could meet the Fray if you sent in a creative message for the guys.
My heart was beating so fast, I really wanted to win! The Fray has been my favorite band for years. I immediately began brainstorming, I decided to photograph my cd's and concert tickets and use the picture to create something nice. The end result:
That weekend I had a sleepover at my grandma's house. I was lying in bed, wide awake, thinking about what I should wear and say!
Before I knew it it was October 2nd. I am glad I got to leave work early, because I live so far away.
The trip to the Hague took 2,5 hours because of the horrible traffic jams.... I checked in to the hostel, took a shower and got ready.
There were a lot of people standing in line at the venue, they were already allowed to go inside. I hurried to the backstage door and spotted another The Fray fan I knew from twitter. We were allowed to go inside, a lot of people were nervous. They brought us to a small room and got to sit down, while we waited for the band.
The band went to stand in a corner and the first people were allowed to go up to them. I believe I was third in line. I walked up to them and suddenly all my nerves were gone. I asked them, could I have a group hug?? and they gave me one! *melts* ❤
I gave Dave the gift I got them, Dutch napkins.
Joe remarked that he liked my ring. I congratulated him on his engagement. He's getting married to Candice Accola in two weeks. After that I asked Isaac, 'and you just had a kid right'? (turns out that was already 6 months ago, time flies). He looked into my eyes and I melted again ;)
Then I asked them to sign my 'The Fray' cd. I told them I had a little story to tell. When I was done, Ben and I believe Joe high fived me. And Isaac told me 'glad you woke up'. ❤❤❤
After that, they signed my cd.
I can't wait for the venue to release the meet and greet photos :-)
