Tonight was definitely a night I'll never forget.
I went to Jason Manns' London gig with my girlfriend. It was so awesome on so many levels. I've wanted to go to one of his gigs and god knows how long so finally getting to (and being able to go with my girlfriend) was really fucking awesome. I got to sing and sway along. Before the gig, we'd seen Ty Olsson at the bar and he's so awesome. He was just working his way through the crowd, dancing with everyone. When we saw him later on in the night, we got a group hug with him.
So, we're all merrily singing along with Jason when...hold the fucking fort. Did Jared and Gen just walk in? Yeah. They did.
At this point, we were all kinda dead but everyone was just trying to act cool and as though this was an every day occurrence for us.
After the gig, everyone was just hanging about and we got to talk to Jason Manns. He's a real sweetheart and kept smiling at my girlfriend and I. We talked to him and he thanked us for coming and we both got pictures with him. We kept seeing him after that and he'd smile at us and thank us for coming again. Totally besties. Haha.
Jared and Gen. Omg. They are a seriously lovely couple. When they walked past us, Jared randomly smiled at us and said hi to us. We said hi but in our heads, we made totally inhuman noises. And Gen. Omg. She is so cute and lovely. They were kinda standing by us and Jared was talking to people so Gen turned around and saw us and smiled and said hi and asked us how we are so we got to have a bit of a conversation with her.We saw Jared again when we were upstairs and even though he couldn't take pictures, he gave me a hug instead. His hugs are really bone-crushing and awesome. Every time Jared saw us, he'd smile at us, which kinda made us die all over the place.
When we were all leaving, Jared waved at us. Then it turned out, they were going the same way as us on our walk back to the train station. When Jared and Gen saw us, they smiled at us again. <3
So, to say it was a good night would be an understatement.
We're totally in shock right now and in need of shock blankets.
Sidenote: It was pretty fucking obvious how nervous we were. Especially considering we weren't expecting to see them all there. They were all so lovely about it, though. Jared, in particular, kept smiling at us and being completely lovely. It felt as though he were trying to reassure us. <3
