So, I won this contest where I got 2 front row tickets and 2 after show meet and greet passes.

Here are some pictures from last night:

i can't even begin to describe what meeting her was like. i have met many of my favorite musicians over the years... all of pearl jam except matt, trent reznor, greg dulli, adam duritz, beck, all of x, and several others.....but never have i had the chance to meet an actual IDOL..... which is what tori is to me.

she is, without a doubt, the most beautiful person- inside and out- that i have ever had the pleasure to meet. I will carry this with me for the rest of my life.

    Awesome pics! love hearing stories/ seeing pics of people with bands they love. :mrgreen: If this is the Paramount in Oakland CA, I saw Ed there this past summer. Awesome venue. congrats on meeting Tori, that's really cool. Always loved her firey orange red hair. I need to check out some of her stuff, like go deep with it. I think I would dig it. really love "cornflake girl," and I remember liking "spark" in the late 90's. Glad you had a great time. Great pictures. :mrgreen:

    congratulations on meeting her. she went to my junior high, but I'm older so I never knew her. I think her real name is Ellen. did she sing a song about mary anne? that was her friend who may have committed suicide, not sure, it's all over our junior high's facebook page. as many shows as i've been to, i've never seen her yet!
