Well, this isn't strictly a humor feature, but we figured we would share some of the tips we've learned over the last 2 years. Some tips are funny, some are serious...Enjoy!
Just FYI, this entire list was begun merely because of tip number 1...Thanks to Nicole, Steph, and Margo for the inspiration to start this page. Gotta love what comes out of the convos that you have while waiting in line for a show! :)
1. Do not leave food (especially stinky salami subs) in your closed up black car in 90 degree weather! How stinky was your ride home, girls?
2. Wear comfy shoes! (Nicole and Cristin are still working on observing this rule!)
3. Please for the love of god, don't plaster yourself with LFO! We really don't need to see Rich, Brad, and Devin all over your shirt, jeans, face, arms, and every other body part; then look down at your shoes and see them there too! We are well aware of what Rich, Brad, and Devin look like!
***Just for the record, if you're going to write their names on your body, SPELL IT RIGHT!
4. Don't ever lose hope. Good things come when you least expect it.
5. Don't pass out! Or, at least wait til LFO is onstage to do so! And if you do...pray that no one tells Rich about it, right Nicole?
6. Speak up to dumbass security guards.
7. Actually, speak up to anyone. You never know who can help you!
8. Don't be mute when the guys are standing right in front of you.
9. Treat them as normal guys. Don't scream and freak out please!
10. If you do end up onstage for "Summer Girls" and have a camera handy, please take pictures! You will regret it later if you don't, trust Cristin on this one! She had her camera around her neck the whole time and didn't use it!
11. You'll be amazed at what kind of info you can learn in line. So talk to people around you and eavesdrop!
12. Wearing sandals and dress shoes to the Elle Girl Party and trying to jump during EOT is not good.
13. On that note, Rich's command to "JUMP!" during EOT is not an excuse to kill and injure your fellow fans. It was turning into a darn mosh pit! And this was supposed to be an dressy type party?
14. Never forget your license, wallet, and money. Isn't that right, Nicole?
15. Always be prepared with a Sharpie marker!! And don't let Rich try to walk away with it! He's a Sharpie stealer!
16. Always say hi or bye to Devin (even if you think he's just walking by) You never know if he'll just stop cause he's sweet like that...
17. If you're in the freaking front row, ENJOY YOURSELF! That's an order! If you're going to stand there and be mute and not sing and not even crack a smile, move the hell over and give us the view! We can't even understand how you can resist the urge to smile when your favorite group is right in front of you performing!
18. If you get a chance to ask a question (example: ShoutBack on Much), please don't preference it with "OMG, YOU'RE SOOOO HOT! YOU'VE HAVE SUCH NICE BODIES!". Takes the credibility right out of you...and Rich's facial expression in reply was classic!
