I had been really, REALLY excited about going to this EvE 6 concert for a LONG time... on May 5th, the day of the concert, I walked home with my friends. We went over to the Fillmore, and stood right in front of the stage. The concert ROCKED! Towards the end, Jon and Max threw a bunch of guitar picks into the audience. I looked down, and saw one on the ground, so I picked it up. YAY! It's really cool... It's yellow and has the EvE 6 logo on it. Well, I didn't expect things to get any cooler, but my mom said this guy might have a backstage pass for me! I thought it was some joke, but then a guy came up to me and gave me a pass! I guess his brother was the sound guy, so he had some passes. Then I was REALLY hyperventilating. I didn't know what to do. I got all dizzy. I saw Jon turn around. When he came up to me, I was like,"Uh,... I'm sorry. Could you sign these? sorry there's so much stuff, but my other friends are stuck down there." (downstairs)He said, "That's fine... look at this: one, two, three, four..." signing all the ticket stubs and stickers. When he got to the little trading card type-thing my other friend made (it has a picture of the band and says "EvE 6: best rock band"), he said,"what is this? an internet thing?" I said,"oh, yeah. My friend made it on her computor and wanted you to sign it." He said,"hmm. best band in the world, I say", and raised his eyebrow! I love it when he does that. So... then I asked him if I could get a picture with him. Of course, he said yes, 'cause he's cool.... Then some guy said my MOM was looking for me. So I had to go. When I got home I threw up- Because I was so happy, and my stomach was turning around and around. That was the BEST night of my entire life!

Alright, here's my story from the page master herself.
My friend Jen and I drove down to Poughkeepsie NY to see them play on Feb 21, 1999. So we were waiting around before the concert. Then, all of a sudden some people were walking by and one of them looked like Jon, so I said to Jen, Oh my goodness... is that Jon?, but before I could figure it out we saw Max and Tony. I asked them for a picture, but they had to get to a radio show, so they couldn't. )o:
So we went to the concert and it ruled. Stretch Princess were really good and Marvelous 3 were so excellent! Butch was raining and steaming (literally, cuz he was so hot and sweaty) and they put on a marvelous show(hence the name, Marvelous 3). Oh, and while the marvies were playing, I saw Jon on the side of the stage watching them, and the crowd. Then Eve 6 came out and they wailed! They were amazing (as always).
After the show we waited around and I got one of Tony's (?) drumsticks, it was broken, but that's still cool. (o: So we decided to leave, but I had bought Jon some Nutella, and made all the guys bracelets, so we were going to go put it outside of the tourbus door, so we walked up and who was talking to a fan outside the door? None other than the reason you're reading these lovely memories of mine... Jon! So we walked up and started talking, and I gave him the Nutella and the bracelets and we talked for a few minutes. I got him to sign my shirt (especially made for the occasion, it was a homemade Liberate The Lobster t-shirt. ) Then lots of other people came around and they were signing autographs like mad, and we were still kindah holding a convo with Jon. Then I got my shirt signed by Max and Tony, and also, I got Tony to sign the drumstick. I got pictures with Max and Jon and Jen got one with Tony(they both look kinda like gophers... it's halarious!) Then Jen's Dad was pulling us out to leave (he got Jon to sign his hand, it was so funny). And that's about all... (o: Jon was totally cool and I can't wait for the next show so I can see him again!

Perry, a girl on the Eve 6 mailing list that I'm on, went to an Eve 6 concert, and she wanted Max to wear a pink sparklie bracelet that she brought, so she threw it on stage near Max, and he did nothing. So after a while Jon walked an over and picked it up and put it on! Cool much? You bet!
