I did about three things today.. I met Drake Bell, went to Goodwill, and went to Mellow Mushroom. That is all.
Anyway, he was doing a free concert at the mall, and you could meet him if you bought the CD and waited in a line for half your life. It was funny to see all of the plastic teenage girls and Nickolodeon-fueled little kids there. They screamed before and after he came out; they ran to get in line. That's the difference between me and them, though. I stood silent, I walked and took my time. I didn't expect to get a date with him, like every other girl did, I just like that he likes good music.
I was holding my prepared Daltrey biography (cos Roger taught Drake guitar, for some reason), but the security people were a barrage of "NO NO NO MOVE ALONG NOW MANY PEOPLE TO SEE WE HAVE TO CATCH A FLIGHT SO HURRY UP HE CAN ONLY SIGN CDS AND POSTERS" and so on. I was gonna have him write something alog the lines of "I sure love swingin' them microphones" on the inside cover of the book, but dammit, "ONLY CDS AND POSTERS." It went something like this:
Drake: Hi!
Sally: Uh, hi. *holds Daltrey bio in one hand and CD in the other*
Roadie 1: Look, it's his mentor!
Drake: Whoa, yeah! *takes book out of my hand; apologizes for losing my place in the book*
Sally: No, it's alright.
Drake: Is this [the book] any good?
Sally: Oh, definitely. [actually, it pisses me off that the authors spell Entwistle with a fucking 'h'. But besides that, eh.]
Roadie 2: And she's got a Who shirt!
Drake: Ah, you like The Who? *smiles*
Sally: Yeah.
Drake: Awesome! And I see you've got the Daltrey pants too.
Sally: Hah, yeah.
Roadie 2: Good taste.
Sally: Thanks..
I'm really fuckin' talkative, aren't I?
By the way, I didn't really know why he chose to call them "Daltrey pants," haha, cos they were just stripedy acid pants.
OH, and one of my school's PE teachers was right in front of me in line. XD Luckily, he didn't remember who I was. He was with his daughters and wife, and I think my mom wins with this comment: "If he's a PE teacher, then why are his wife and kids such fatasses?!"
I guess he was the first famous person I've met. I only got a mutual wave from Graham Nash, which did excite me a hell of a lot, but that's not really meeting someone, is it?
By the way, I would appreciate it if you didn't comment with "Oh my god I hate Drake Bell hahahaha he sucks alsdkfasldkfa;lsdkf;!"
As I said before, he has really good tastes in music and the like...
