Last night was one of the best times I have had at a Maroon 5 concert and I have been to many of them.
The day started out with me waking up at 6:30 am to get ready to go and make sure everything was ready for the trip to the cities. It was a two hour drive with my mom. My mom is also a big fan and is known around here at college as the "cool sweet mom" We went to Mall of America to waste time until 1:30 where we were going to go meet Abby (Maroon5tweak) Lori (theoperainme)and her fiance and brother at the liffey near the xcel energy center. It was fun getting to know everyone.
It was 3:15 and we headed over to the place where we all were supposed to meet shawn. We meet up with rachel (gardensgrey) and her friend. Well come to find out that a radio station had also given out tickets to the soundcheck and the meet and greet. I was pissed, especially if they thought that they would get the same treatment as us SINners did. I paid for these, not win them off the radio. While we were waiting you could hear adam playing a little bit and talking to the sound guys which got me even more pumped!
Shawn came around at 3:45 and got everything situated. He told us to that it'd be about 10-15 minutes more to make sure everyone was here. While we were waiting around my mom being the friendly person she is, went up and had a chit chat with shawn for the remaing time. she got to know him pretty well and heard some pretty great stories from him.
We all were sent into sound check around 4. The sinners and the radio station winners were seperated with us being in the first 3 rows. Which made me so much happier! James and adam came in first leading mickey and jesse. adam came in and made this strong man muscle pose which was hilarious! through out the soundcheck they played rage against the machine and soundgarden which was awesome. Adam didn't sing much i thing that his voice was tired or something, because at one point james said let's do the ending of the sun and adam pointed at his throat and did this cute funny thing with his thumb. James and mickey left while adam went onto the drum set and played for awhile while Jesse was chillin' playing/improvising on the keys. Adam left and jesse made a comment saying, "I'll see you all later, in 30 seconds."
Shawn then lead us to this hockey locker room thing, where normally this would be where the team would be or used for concerts. Well my mom was talking to shawn again, a few of us asked shawn if we had time to run to the bathroom which he said was fine. Well we get back and they already had come in....well time to go watch queer as folk with AJ i'll write more tomorrow!
