After the show, Heather, Nicole and I were hanging out and some older gentleman started talking to us and thanking us for coming out to the show.  We said thank you, and we were all wondering who he was, thanking us and all and we started talking about Oklahoma City and I asked where he was from and he said North Carolina. I asked if he drove all the way to Oklahoma to see Taking Back Sunday and he said, "Adam is my son."  We were like, "Oh!"  We chatted with him for the longest time, until security chased us out of the venue.  He was very nice, and he is also very proud of his son, as he should be.  While we were talking to him Matt walked by and we got the picture and talked to him for a little while. We talked about so much with him, but one thing I remember, of all things, was that he was talking about what a nice guy wiLL from Aiden was.  

When we went outside the first person we saw was Ed, and we talked and the funny thing is--he rubbed Heather's belly when we mentioned her being pregnant.  We then talked to Mark awhile.  They are both very nice, as are all the guys!  Nobody was the least bit rude or annoyed by us talking to them.  Then we spotted Matt Fazzi.  He ran over to us like we were long lost friends and gave us a great big hug.  I swear, he's the nicest guy!  We talked forever.  Where most people, you talk awhile, then there's a bit of awkward silence and they move on, well Fazzi just hangs around and a new conversation starts up.  We were told by Mark that they will be touring again and hitting everywhere in the Fall but he can't tell us who they are touring with (its not the Blink 182 thing--we don't get TBS in Dallas for that)--then we mentioned it to Fazzi and he told us who he thought they were touring with but we told him that we will keep it a secret.  I just hope Dallas gets a headlining show and not a stupid festival like Edgefest.  Talking to the guys they sound like they are not too crazy about those festivals either--limited set and all.  Anyway, the guy who is playing guitar during the tour, Issac came over and we talked to him forever too.  We mentioned how much we loved his dance on stage and he said that he got online and looked up "ghetto dances" and learned those moves.  Then he demonstrated the moves for us again.  We talked to those too for a good long time, just like talking to an old friend you haven't seen in a while.  Later we spotted Adam heading to the bar.  I asked him if that's his only choice for entertainment around there was a redneck bar and he laughed and said that's all they do at home too.  We remembered us from the last time we saw him on Lubbock too.  He was genuinely sweet.  When we pointed out that Heather was expecting a baby he got all excited and said, "Your life is about to get gnarly!"  It was cute how he said it.  When he complained about the heat a little I told him how I prefer the heat so much over the cold and how it was so cold when we were waiting for them at the Tulsa show Nicole got this injury in her leg that now hurts every time she gets cold.  Then he said, "Was it like that priorly?  Is priorly even a word?"  We all laughed and I told him "it is now."

It was so nice talking to him, as well as the other guys too.  We apologized for bothering Adam when he was about to leave and he said "No problem at all.  If it wasn't for you guys we wouldn't be who we are today. We'd be nobody if not for you." (or something to that affect)

One more conversation I remember.  I was educating Issac after reading some of his twitters that Texas isn't all what it is stereotyped to be, and I told him "We are from Texas and we are not hicks."  And Matt Fazzi said, "Of course you are not hicks.  If you were hicks you wouldn't be at a Taking Back Sunday show."  True that---hahahaha.

Before I go--I'd like to give a shout-out to my BESTIE Vanessa who showed Fazzi my picture at the Florida show and had him send me a note and let me talk on her phone to both Fazzi and Issac.  I wanted to be there too but couldn't.  You rock Vanessa!
