Shannon's Encounters

On November 3rd I decided to go to the mall on my spare. I got my friend to drive me there because I wanted to buy the new U2 cd. I walked into HMV and started browsing through the CD's because I didn't have enough money for the U2 one. I picked up Eagle Eye Cherry and was just about to go over to the counter and pay for it when suddenly, James and Antoine walked in! I couldn't believe it!! At this time, they weren't totally popular so they could walk around without being noticed. I knew who they were since I watch MuchMusic all the time and I had just bought the Some Kinda Wonderful single a few weeks before hand.

Well, they started talking to a bunch of employees in the store, so I started walking around trying not to make it too obvious that I was watching them! When they were finally finished, I went over to Antoine and asked him to sign a piece of paper. I think he was quite surprised that I actually knew who they were. So I was talking to them and telling them that I had just made a website for them and stuff and they thought it was really cool, and asked me if I had checked out their official site. Anyway, the whole thing was really cool because it came totally out of the blue! They were totally nice and really sweet!

The local radio station in Calgary, Power 107, had announced that they were throwing an all ages exclusive listener party for SKY at the Republik night club on February 15. I was so excited, but the only way to get to it was to win tickets through the station. I tried and tried so hard, but I never got any! Luckily enough for me, I had a connection through SKY and I was able to get my name and one guest on a list so we could watch the show.

It started around 7 or 8 (I can't remember) and it was really cool! There weren't that many people there, maybe 200 and we were able to see really good and take some pretty good pictures. They played 6 songs and the highlight was probably Some Kinda Wonderful or Lovesong since everyone got into it!

SKY are a really good band and sound awesome live!!
