lol i found myself in the pics tony took. i know my face is mostly obscured in the first one but u can kinda see the look in my eyes thats like. pure joy

[eddie-rifff]

adrian belew is a real life cartoon character i heard him make two unrelated puns in the like 5-10 minutes i was within earshot of him

[eddie-rifff]

lmao. danny carey asked me how i was doing like hi how are ya as i was lining up for my pic and i said “terrified :)” and tony was like “im terrified too”

[eddie-rifff]

ok home now it took 30 minutes JUST to exit the parking garage because no one on the street was letting ppl out and everyone was leaving at once idk we also got no reception in there obviously so me and my sister just sang hotel california (because like the parking garage we were in. u can enter but cant leave.) badly. we did get out eventually. obviously

anyway wowee what can i say. i mean idk what there is TO say thats not been said, it was just very very good, theyre all very impressive musicians which everyone knew.

adrian is so. he like. he fucking radiates joy. he genuinely seems so happy to just be there. like girl me too. and hes an insane musician and he can SING like a motherfucker and his voice is pristine.

also one woman in the back shouted "adrian i wanna have ur baby" and he just looked at us in the front and shrugged comically like "can u believe this shit"

oh also also the guy taking the pics for the meet n greet came up to us before we were let into the venue and was telling us what to do and i was like damn that guy looks so much like steve vai thats a weird coincidence whatever and then later i found out it was his son lol.

also also also im pretty sure i got in a few of tony's photos lol. i kind of instinctively throw up peace signs and stick my tongue out when i see a camera so if you see tonys pics from the DC show and theres some fucking goober in the third row doing that, its me.
