Entry 2 - Ninja Rolls and Dave Matthews VOTE
"Wow, what a show" I thought as I stared down at the
stage wondering, and
waiting for the very unlikely second encore. I knew there was no
chance when
the lights flashed on and the Moby cd came on again. Although it
would have
been nice to hear some more the boys had done a great show
tonight- the best
I've ever seen. I stood just watching the people fill out of the
stadium in a
mad rush--trying to beat the traffic. what's the point? I'm in no
rush to get
back on the road for the four and a half hour ride. I just as well
would of
stayed there too, reading the signs and listening to the howl of
drunken
college kids but a line was forming behind me so I stepped into
the aisle.
After about 5 minutes of pushing through people i made my way to
the parking
lot, but instead of going straight to my car I decided to take a
walk around
to see what kind of trouble I could get into. Soon enough I came
to a dark
alleyway....the back of the stadium. All that was left of the 50,
000 large
crowd was now just a few horns in the distance. I saw some lights
and heard
voices coming from the alley. Having nothing else to do I decided
to see what
was going on. "you never know" I thought, "maybe
it's some road crew guys
that could get me an autograph, or some info, or something" I
made my way
until I could see around the corner and saw where the lights and
voices were
coming from-a tour bus. I swear to you, at that moment I almost
lost control
of my bowels...if you know what I mean. I saw guitar cases-violin
cases, and
sax cases all being stored into a lay away compartment under the
bus.
Geez...I thought.. this is the coolest thing ever. I walked up to
the
bus-nobody bothered me...they just looked at me like, "where
did he come from"
I stood wide eyed and absorbed all that was going on around me.
"Hey Fenton!" That's all it
took-- I whipped my head around. Out the
window of the bus I saw Stefan's head.
"STEEEEFFFAAAANNN!!!!" I yelled. I
can't believe I just did that. I
sounded like a n-sync fan. Stefan looked at me....and I....I....felt
something warm in my pants....DOH'. I looked at my wet pants and
back up to
Stefan...pants...Stefan...pants...Stefan...then I bolted--Off into
the
parking lot again...away from the alley and away from Stefan. I
got back to
my car and took my pants off.. replacing them with a pair of my
sleeping
pajamas. I decided it was time for me to go home so I got in my
car and
started driving. I was feeling a little depressed after the
incident in the
alley so I popped in the Lillywhite sessions. After about an hour
or so I got
a little hungry so I stopped at this diner. I sat quietly in the
corner booth
drinking my coffee, eating my muffin and reading the morning
newspaper. I
heard the bell on the door jingle...I lowered my paper to see who
it was...if
I hadn't let it all out when I saw Stefan I would of
"urinated" on myself.
There standing not 20 feet away from me was the man himself.. Mr
Dave
Matthews. Since the diner was filled mostly with elderly people I
was the
only one who recognized him...he was probably happy about this.
There was no
sign of the rest of the band. I dropped my paper, and took one
last bite of
my muffin for luck and strolled on up behind Dave. I
mumbled, "Hi.I'mpeter.Howareyou.Iloveyourmusic.Greatshowtonight"
Confused at what I had just said he looked back
and said, "what the hell
did you just say?" the he laughed. I repeated myself, slower,
and he shook my
hand then turned and ordered a muffin. I said, "you just
ordered a muffin"
He laughed again and said, "Why yes...yes I
did...is there something wrong
with that?"
"no, it's just that....I am eating a
muffin too".. I pointed to my booth
and my half eaten muffin.
"Dave got his muffin then said something I
never thought I would
hear...."mind if I sit with ya...nobody else here looks like
they'd want to
have me" he said chuckling.
"sure" I said. We sat and talked for
about ten minutes eating muffins and
drinking coffee. talking about random things...life, his new wife,
his
upcoming kid. Everything was going great until....I heard the bell
from the
door again...we both looked up and standing there
was....Stefan....uh oh...
it can't let him see me... I ducked in my seat... Dave hollered at
Stefan to
come over then looked at me and was like....you alright bud?
I couldn't let
Stefan see me again.. I was too embarrassed. I didn't answer but
made a ninja
roll out of the seat and onto the tiled floor. I rolled under a
few old
people legs and when I went for one last roll I.........smacked my
head into
a table...I sprawled out onto the floor with a yalp. I saw Dave
and Stefan
looking at me then I heard Stefan say, "hey, I know that
kid....that's the
guys that........" That's when I saw Dave and Stefan laughing
as I was
surrounded by elderly people trying to give me mouth to mouth....
when I
finally got back up the boys were gone...I'll never forget that
night....and
what a crazy night it was....
