Rich and Bad Mood Mike


Doswell, VA 6/22/02

It's Cristin here....I gave in and went to another Bad Mood Mike show...Hey, the show was 20 mins from where my Dad lives in Virginia....soooo I conveniently timed my summer visit to coincide with Rich's show. Anyway...I'm sure you want me to get to the point, huh?
Soooo I went with my friend, Mel (YO YO YO, MEL!)...and we figured we'd go get some food before going into King's Dominion theme park. The only thing near the park was a Denny's that was attached to like one of the only hotels in the area. Sure enough as we round the corner into the parking lot...who's bus do we see? Rich's! (Hmmm..Rich radar?) And we see Mike, Aaron, Tim, and Joe getting their stuff out of the bus and going to check in. So we go over and say hi to Mike and Aaron, who were very nice as always!...and they go and check in. Then, we went to get eat in Denny's. After eating, we decided to hang around and see who we could see. Well, we saw Tim and Joe and talked to them for a few and after umm 3 shows, we finally got pics with them. Then, we ran into Fuzzy Rich and said hey to him. We finally went over to the park after hanging around for an hour or so. Mel rode a coaster and dragged me on some alien attack simulator thing...which I was scared of! Yes, I'm a wimp! So we go to the show...and I get a pic with Aaron and we talk to him when he was hanging out before the show up at the front by the stage. The show was awesome as always, BUTTTT Rich and the guys didn't do "La Dee Da Dee"! I was sad :( But some chick was insane and grabbed Rich's mic and was like "chinese food makes me ITCH" when Mike brought girls up on stage for Summer Girls. Rich made some more sarcastic comments throughout the show which were really funny...so the show was a lil different from the ones I've seen before. And of course, after the show, we went back to the hotel/Denny's. Number one because we were starving and wanted to eat and number two because we wanted to see the Bad Moood Mike guys! As soon as we get there we see about 15 or so girls there around the bus....and see Tim unloading all the stuff and we end up talking to him and Joe for a few. Then, we go eat...we were starving!! So we're eating...I finish...and honestly, I had to go to the potty (I know you all needed to know that, right? but hey, I'm being honest!)...so I got up to go but on my way to the potty, the Rich radar kicks in and I look to my right and see Rich outside the double doors signing autos and taking pics...and I'm sure you can all guess what I did? I ran back to the table, grabbed my stuff, told Mel what was going on, and went out and talked to Rich...lol. I left Mel to finish and pay the bill. Nice of me, huh? I feel bad about that now!! Blame Rich..lol! I went back and got her 5 minutes later after I got a pic with Rich..courtesy of Tim...she was finished eating by then. Mel came out...and we both got our pics with Rich from Atlantic City signed and talked to him for a second. So he went off to his room....but we ended up seeing him and stuff a few more times which was quite fun throughout the 2 hours we hung out at the hotel. I'm all good talking to him now...lol...it was so easy...I guess I'm totally over my muteness which is quite definitely a good thing. Meanwhile, rude fans were banging on the tour bus and yelling at Tim and then Mike too. HOW RUDE! This must be added to the annoying fans section! They were finally regulated by Mike and Tim. They were a little less annoying after that. We got to talk to Mike for a few after that and he was his usual cool self. I'm gonna miss the "ShoutinRichNice Awwwright" since the tour is over! We also ran into Aaron again who's a pretty cool guy....Mel and I are officially hooked on an old song of his called "Mix Tapes". We ran into Joe and Tim so more and finally left around 12:30 and went home. So that's it...fun fun fun KICK*SS roadtrip to VA...How sad that they are off tour now with no more shows! :(

Back to encounters!
