Tina's Encounter

SKY: July 1st, Canada Day (they performed at 9:00 at night) ok, I went with my friends on Thursday July 1st (Canada Day) we got to the parliament hill at about 11:15 a.m. We first went to Subway to eat, then we went to the rideau center (that's where I saw the Moffatts perform the first time I saw them, and met them, anyways)The whole time we were there, I was begging to go ask if SKY was in one of the tents. None of my friends would go with me :(

Then at 4:30 we went to the hill to get a spot upclose to the stage to see SKY!!! (there was me, Robin, Dave, and Chris, just so you know) then we were right at the front of the gate (there were chairs for the press, family, and whoever else who was invited to this, infront of me, so I wasn't that close but I was as close as I and any other person in the world could possibly get to the stage who didn't have a pass. and I have a SKY bucket hat that I ordered from their site, a while ago, and well I was wearing it that whole day, and there were these groups of girls who screamed at me "OH MY GOD, I want your hat" and I was like "hehehe, thanks" it was funny, we were all their to see SKY!!

And well I was begging my friends for one of them to come with me to the tents on the side of the stage to see if SKY was there, and all of my friends were like "no let's just stay here", and I said "NO, I MUST MEET SKY!!!" hehehe, finally Chris said he would go with me, and Robin and her b/f said they would stay there to save our spots. I was so happy! So me and Chris went walking by the tents, (which were on the other side of a fence, so nobody could go in without a pass which I didn't have) I asked this one guy in a cool suit, "excuse me, do you know if SKY is in this tent here, or do you know where they are?" he answered "no, I don't know where they are, but if I see them, and see you, I will tell ya" I was like "thanks so much" then he left and I asked this lady with a pass "excuse me, do you know if SKY is around?" and just then I looked up and saw Antoine (of SKY) sitting on the wall infront of the parliament building talking with someone, I freaked out. I said "oh my god there he is" the lady was like, "really?" I said "YES!!" she said "are you sure?" I was like "VERY POSITIVE" and then the guy I asked first (in the suit), he went right up to Antoine and then he pointed to me, RIGHT to me, and Antoine, looked RIGHT at me, so I waved to him!! and he waved back, then started talking to the guy he was with again.

I was standing there, and the man he was talking to turned around and looked at me, then Antoine, looked at me and took his hand and pointed to the side to tell me to go over to the side for an autograph. I freaked AGAIN!! hehehe, he came down, I was over at the side with my CD single case from the states ready with a pen for him to sign it. I had my camera out ready too, SMART ME!! :)

He came down and the security guard said to him, "excuse me where's your pass?" my friend Chris said "this guys the opening act, SKY" and Antoine said "yes I'm Antoine from SKY", the Gaurd said "SHOW me your pass", so Antoine pulled it out and showed him, and then the Guard turned away. Then Antoine turned to me, and said "I saw your hat and Had to come over!!" I was like (in my head) "WOOHOO" and then he said, "You know this guy (the guy he was sitting and talking with on the wall) designed that hat" I said, "that is so cool" and then I said to him, "can you sign my CD cover?" he was like "of course" he didn't have a pen, but I did. :)

I gave him the CD cover, and he was like "is this from Canada?" I said "no, my mom got it for me from the States!" he said "COOL, we're playing this song (Love Song) tonight, and we're only doing one song" I said to him as he signed the cover, "I love your new song Strange" and he said "REALLY? where did you hear it?" I said "on this single" he turned it over and said, "awesome, it's my favorite song" and I said "it's my fave too, it's a very futuristic sounding song, I just love it, I listen to it constantly" he said "ya it's supposed to sound into the future like, thanks, glad you like it as much as me and James do!!!" Then I asked him if I could get my picture with him, he said "definitly" so Chris took a picture and then I asked to take 1 more just to be safe and then Antoine said something like "a to be safe photo" to go along with me, what a sweet guy!! and then after the photo's I asked "where's James?" he said, "oh James is alway's hiding in behind away before performances, he's probably in the main tent behind the stage" and I said, "well my name is Tina, and could you tell him I say hello?!" Antoine said "oh for sure" I was like "thanks, good luck for tonight's show."

He said thanks, and he mentioned to me "we are opening for Britney Spears too" I said "ya I'm going to see you guys open for her in Ottawa, I have 2nd row" he said "ya, it's gonna be an awesome show" I was like "YES" so then I said to him" Can I give you a hug before you go?" he said "oh ya" so I gave him a hug and WOW he is HOT, like nice bod and everything!! woohoo!! and then we said good bye, and I went back to my friends, they were all so happy for me!!
