Days events of Frnkiero andthe cellabration release show
So we drove all night starting at 8pm from NC to get to Jersey at about 9am and checked into the hotel washing up and getting dressed really quickly and headed over to Vintage Vinyl which was 10 min from the hotel. There were only 2 other people there when we arrived and haha they were people we recognized from twitter. Soon other people arrived and a few of them were peeps I had met at past shows and are really great people. The day was pretty boring waiting cause there wasn’t a lot to do until they started letting people line up inside at about 4pm. The show didn’t start until 7 so we had awhile to wait but the band was ready there and they were setting up the stage along with Frank. After they set up they did a small sound check playing this song is a curse and a few other riffs voice checks etc. After sound check Frank and the band wandered around the store looking at records and talking to their friends. Several fans kept bombarding him and we really didn’t want to do that cause it wasn’t the time, esp since there is a signing after the show. After about 30min it seemed if you weren’t too freaky about it he didn’t mind so Kaylyn walked over and talked to him for a second and he told her he really liked her hair and she apologized for bothering him and he shook her hand, she asked about pictures and he promised at the signing we could do them she was very emotional after meeting him which is to be expected but it was really cute. I still wanted to wait so I went and talked to a twitter friend of mine Mel who I saw looking thru records and after that I noticed Matt Ollsson was also walking around so I decided to introduce myself to him with Kaylyn. I said Hi and that he had followed me on twitter and I was the one who asked about him cutting his hair off haha. We shook hands and I told him I would let him browse we just wanted to say Hi and he was really cool and sweet and said he hoped we had a good time. So after this I decided fuck it I would give Frank the stuff I brought him now just in case later they didn’t allow it, so I caught him going around a corner and I said hi I really just wanted to give you this so I didn’t forget later it was his beastie boys shirt and horror buttons he took them saying thank you and immediately leaned in to hug me telling me it was great to see me again, so after that I let him go cause he had things to do and I didn’t want to bother him anymore. About thirty minutes after that Jamia came in the store holding hands with Frank and she also shopped around the store awhile. I also saw Gianni who did BloodNun with Frank and I brought my tape wanting to get him to sign it but I never could make myself go up to him. Before the show started I got to see so many of my friends I wished I could have had more time to hang with all of them. When the show started we ended up on the first row right in front of Frank which is an incredible spit to be, they played this song is a curse which sounded soo good live I had worried how it would sound live but it was incredible. They went thru every song on the record and I really couldn’t have asked for more. I did video it but the sound on the phone is bad but the video I still neat to watch. Stitches live was quite an experience Frank was something else. Between songs he thanked everyone for being there and and talked about being nervous he was so cute. Matt is an incredible drummer I could gave just watched him alone and Evan did a great job on back up vocals of course Rob is a old pro and can do no wrong. after the show we had to line up for the signing and we ended up in the back cause we were on the front during the show. the wait for the signing was over two hours and Frank was very patient listening to everyone accepting Gifts and taking pictures. When we got to the front a lady takes the pictures for you with your phone and Kaylyn talked to him first got a big hug and her cd signed and a few pics she was very happy. I was next and he immediately says Hey Julie haha I gave him the fliers Dev made and told him we were going to make copies and pass them out at shows cause I was going to quite a few shows and I said I’m sorry you will have to look at my ugly face so much he was like no and was giggling. he thought the fliers were very cool. He signed my cd with Julie thanks so much for all the support keep the faith xo Frank we took a few pics and he said oh hey Dewees has picture on the wall there when he played here and showed me where the pic was apparently he knows how much I like Dewees haha. I asked about why he didn’t come and Frank said it was to far with things going on, after this I thanked him saying I would see him later. Destiny talked to him next and she told Frank yea Julie’s my mom haha I don’t know if he believed this or not. After everyone was finished with Frank we walked over and got a group photo with Matt and had him sign our CDs we also found Rob and had him sign them but we didn’t see Evan anymore. We left exhausted after no sleep and a very long but very incredible day….. Til the next show
I can’t believe I wrote all that out back then but it was nice to read and remember 😂
