I met David about 3 or 4 years ago. Here in Ga, we have a concert every year called 'Big Day Out' and that particular year, David and his band Ear2000 were playing on a side stage. I was so thrilled!!! David was playing in good company, The Urge, Cowboy Mouth, The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Fuel and many others were playing. After the band played (and it's an awesome show to see), David went behind the stage. A lot of girls stood around waiting to see if he was going to come back out and started to chant his name. While we were waiting and talking, David came out from around the stage. He started to yell and was like 'Hey you guys!! What's up?' All of a sudden it ws like being in a sea of girls waiting to see a boy band or something. These girls were going crazy and I didn't blame them, especially when David took his shirt off and was going to give it away to one lucky girl. It was the same shirt he had just performed in and it was hot outside so it was covered in sweat. He made us pick numbers between 1 and 100. Whoever was closest got his shirt right off his back. Unfortunately, it wasn't me. I was so very dissapointed, but as the girls began to dispearse, I hung around maybe to get an autograph or something.

David was standing on the other side of the stage, when I walked over and told him how I wish I could have won his shirt. I began to tell him how I've liked him for years and such. He said he'd be glad to autograph something of mine, but I didn't have anything to write with. He said to give him a sec and he'd be right back. I thought he was going to get another shirt to give me or something, but imagine my surprise when he came back and jumped the security fence and said 'Let's go for a walk.' I was in heaven! It had rained earlier and so there was mud in various places, but he didn't care, he was barefoot and was walking around in the mud with me (I happened to be barefoot also). We walked around talking like old friends which really surprised me to see how laid back, comfortable, and open he was. He was just how I had always expected him to be. We walked around for a while and sat in the stands when  one of the guys from the band walked up and said they had to go. David turned to me and said that he had to go and told me what a cool person I was. He then gave me a bracelet he had been wearing and told me it was mine. It was leather and said SUBMISSIVE on it. He then gave me a kiss on teh cheek and said goodbye. I thought I was going to die. Later, I found my friends and told them what happened. They didn't believe me and told me the bracelet was probably something some girl gave him and he didn't want it. I started to believe them until we saw the rest of the band. We stopped them and talked to them and they said David had to leave he had to fly to another state, but they ere going to hand around. They saw the bracelet and said 'Did David give you that?' I said yes and they daid that it ws one of his favourite things to wear, I must have made a good impression on him for him to give it to me. My friends couldn't believe their ears and neither could I. To this very day I still have it and wear it sometimes and think of how wonderful that day was for me. Hopefully, I'll see him again one day and he'll remember me and maybe we'll get to hand out again.
