And he's back....

Alright..I'm finally to the last pic that was taken at the buses...and sorry girls...its not of Joe or Sav..lol
I need to back-track a bit here because this picture was taken in between Viv and Rick's visits. Anyway...my niece and I were standing around waiting for Rick and observing the Lepps wandering around behind the buses (as I mentioned earlier) hanging out in the hospitality tent and chatting with crew...etc... Joe always appeared to be on his cell phone but would wave from time to time. Ok..I'll get to the point.
Phil comes out of his tour bus with Michelle and the baby. They go one way and he comes straight towards us and the barracade (well a few feet to our right) but you get the idea. He moves the barracade and comes over onto our side!! My niece was in shock..and he says hello again to us and smiles...so I took the opportunity to go up to him and show him the baseball jersey I made to wear at the show that night. (You'll see it in the picture below) and he said it was really cool and gave me thumbs us with a huge grin. After he walked away I realized that I prob should have had him sign it or something...stupid me.
He excuses himself and heads towards a small white car that was parked behind us and gets in then drives away into the parking lot.
Alittle while later...we're standing there still waiting for Rick and my niece leans over and says to me..."Here come's Phil!" So I'm like..."Yeah right.." thinking that she's teasing me..but she taps my shoulder and goes.."No LOOK...here he comes." So I turn around and sure as shit...here he comes right up behind us from the parking lot. So I smile and he smiles back and says "Allo again..." I asked him why he didn't have a body guard or something since he's just wandering around the parking lot alone and he just shrugged his shoulders and smiled as if to say "What for?" and keeps coming towards us. So this time I remembered and I asked him if he wouldnt mind signing my jersey for me. He said "Sure...definitely.." so I thanked him and asked if I could have another pic with him and my jersey...he said "My pleasure!" so my niece was at it again...LOOK!!! Here we are again... Phil's covered up a bit of skin this time..LOL
It says "COLLEN"(in leopard print) above the number one and I didnt realize until I saw this pic that it was covered up a bit...oh well. I got the pic and we all know what it says. If you look close enough you can see Phil's signature on the #1. How cool is that, eh???
I apoligized for being a pain in the ass...lol and he said that I wasnt at all and it was no problem. So he said "See ya later" and wished us a great evening and told us to enjoy the show with a huge grin and a wave then went back into the bus!!
{{Phew}}...so thats my experience with Mr.Collen!! NOW LADIES...question??? "DO YA WANNA GET ROCKED??????""
Live pics to come next.....see ya soon!

The THUNDERGOD!!!!

Its not every day you see a "leppard" hanging out a tour bus window but here he is...the thundergod himself...Rick Allen..smoking a cigarette & shouting at whomever passes by!! LOL It was so funny..I yelled over to him and teased him abit about what he was doing and he called back to me then laughed but due to the sounds of the bus to the left's engine running I couldnt make out what he said. I then asked him to come out and see us since we had been waiting so long and he told me he'd be right out!! And as you can see here..he kept his promise about 10 minutes later!!
I asked him what his response had been to my teasing about hangin' out the back window of the bus and smoking and he replied with a laugh..."What I said was...well at least its better than hidin' out and smokin' behind the bike shed!"
I gave him a puzzled look and he chuckled at me then said, "English humor Love" and smiled.

So...we chatted for a bit and to my shock and pleasant surprise..when I mentioned to him about us meeting 2 years ago at WDHA (a local NJ radio station) he corrected me and said, "Umm... that was 'bout 3 years ago, wasn't it though??"!!! He also said that he remembered me and my daughter!!! I thanked him for being so sweet to her and how she remembers him so well and the events of that afternoon and that she speaks about it often. Rick said that she was a sweetheart and he def. remembers her! I told him that she said "HELLO" (which she had made me promise I'd do) and he told me to tell her the same and he sends his love! I WAS SHOCKED....he remembered US!!!!!I couldn't believe it!!!
I got his autograph and we spoke for abit more then he had to leave us. But not before I got this great pic with him. He's so sweet! And btw...for all you lovely ladies who were so sweet and flattering me by commenting on how photogenic I am...LOL...I dont know what the hell I was saying in the pic below...but jeez...What the hell kinda face is that???LMAO
Anyway...that was my experience with Rick Allen....

So now that I had met all the Lepmen..what could possibly happen next you may ask??? Well stick around..the day is far from over and neither are the pics...I'll post the rest of them shortly. See ya soon!!
