I am still in shock After AI tonight I was just setting in my wheelchair doing nothing & this guy walks up to
me and asked "are you the medic?" I said yes. He said I am th drummer from AI and I want to give you these drum sticks
and I think he thanked me for my service or something to that affect. He said he reads the Boards. So I am assuming he
read about me being a medic in the Army & getting deployed and injured & in this wheelchair now. Later Starks talk to
me for a while he is so sweet. He didn't try and talk down to me he got down on his knees down to my level and talked
then he signed my drum sticks for me. What an awsome guy. I will put pics up later someone is supposed to email
them to me. what a night. Next hoping to run into Billie and get that hug I have waited 19 years for . Its been almost
2 decadeds since I saw Green Day for the first time in Tampa in 1991. So far this trip has been a dream eacept for I
am stuck in the last row in the wheelchair section and due to catching shrapnel in my eye whils on deployment
I don't see all that great. Who knows with the great things that have happened maybe just maybe I will get that hug.
I know I'm just dreaming. But I love to dream because where there is a dream there is always hope, and let's
face it the world would be a pretty sorry place without hope. Anyways what a fanfuckingtastic night
Edit: I wanted the drummer to sign the drum sticks too. but I was in suck shock and he left so
quick. It's all a blur. I have 2 more nights so hoping to get him to sign them too. It would be nice to get all the cast and Billie
Joe to sign too. I am on cloud nine. Now I just need that hug from Billie I have waited almost 2 decades for and I'd be past
cloud nine, I'd be up in the stratosphere somewhere
