WARNING :: VERY LONG AND I MEAN LONGGGGGGGGGGGG REVIEW

STICK AROUND TO THE END IMPORTANT STUFF HAPPENS THEN.

Ok I warned you here I go

DAY 1 :

I went to the casino around 1 or 2 walked around by myself for awhile lost 60 bucks in 15 minutes. I then decided to sit down on one of the lobby benches. I WAS twittering away when I look up and i see NEAL f***ING TIEMANN walking by me on his cell phone. I was a good fan and let him be but inside I thought about running up to him and tackling him lol. I met up with rachel from DCO and she told me the bus was across the street at the crown plaza ( how i didnt notice that is beyond me.) so we book it over there and i stared at it and took a picture lol. We went back to the casino met up with renee and her daughter, while we walked around the casino forever and ever renee's daughter decided to go to mcdonalds to eat (where the boys were earlier in the day guhhh )then we went back to the crown plaza and sat in the lobby, we found candice (from here) and her husband Will they stood outside to smoke, went back into the casino ,walked and walked and walked(theme of the day huh?). Renee and I were racking our brain trying to figure out where they would be (i had given up by that point) I said the Falls thats the only reason to come here. Will and Candice wanted to see the falls anyway since they are from texas SO we WALKED down there and as we were taking picture we see this couple with a duck that had a skirt on (i kid you not lol) We thought it was just a duck following them around but as they got closer we realized it was on a leash (again i kid you not ) After we talked to the ducks parents lol for awhile we walked back to the crown plaza to go potty, I went potty while renee, will and candice went to the hotel bar, after i was done I went to look for the hotel bar and as im rounding the corner I see Javi on his cellphone , i stopped dead in my tracks and here is me in my head ( oh my god its javi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! oh my god !!!!!!!!!!!! ) my outer self just walked by him all natural like and renee and i were like oh my god its javi. He came sat with a bunch of ladies and talked, we stared lol. He left and we left went back to the casino and walked and walked and walked (again a theme) I had had enough and renee had a long drive home so we gave up and went home at 9:30, I found out the next day from a security guard that Dave came in at 8:30 with 3 blond chicks to play Blackjack and WE MISSED HIM GRRRRR

DAY TWO THE DAY OF EPICNESS::::

I was debating about going early but i decided you never know so I left my house at 12:30, halfway there i realized i forgot my tickets so i had to go back home lol i then had the cab driver take me to a liquor store and i bought a bottle of jack daniels for NFT and stuffed it in my purse. I really didnt think it through because if i had I would have realized i needed a place to hide it if they searched purses (thats later in the story lol ) I sat in the lobby for about a half hr when candice and her husband came, sat some more waiting for renee and DD (different theme today) thats when we met kathy, rachel,stephora and someone else talked for awhile til renee came. I have to tell you if you need info for anything talk to the security people or guest services,because they really help. We found out that Dave and the boys were staying in the penthouse suite not at the crown (roadies stayed at the crown) DISCLAIMER I AM SO SORRY IF THIS IS LONG YOU CAN STOP READING IF YOU WANT. Kathy told us she had went up the elevators to look at the venue to see if they were sound checking so we all decided to do that. SMART MOVE. Renee, stephora, candice and i went up the elevator snuck around didnt see anything just roadies setting up. WE decided to leave before we got caught. As we were leaving we saw Javi again we all said hi and he says "Hi" in a "god i cant believe they know my name kind of way" lol He then said "you guys hanging around places you ain't supposed to be trying to see s***" (not in a mean way ) we all laughed. back on the elevator. We get off and renee and stephora are to the side of me and i hear renee say "oh my god" and grab stephora's arm and i said 'What?" as i rounded the corner THERE WAS DAVE AND ANDY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Dave was standing there with a girl taking a picture as soon as I saw him i gasped loudly lol. He looked at me when I did it. I walk towards him and say hi dave how are you? he says something which i cant remember, I asked him for a picture he said sure. I think since they were so many of us together he asked if we all wanted to get into the picture together to save time, but only renee and I took one together (I think). I got my pic but my bastard ass new digital camera sucks so it did not turn out but renee got a pic so she will send it to me(thank god) as renee and I put our arms around him to get the pic i asked him if they went to the falls yesterday he said he did but didnt stay long cause it was cold(and it was) i asked if he went to the canadian side since its nicer he said no they didnt have time. So i leave dave's side to go talk to Andy I told him he rocked and if i could have a pic and autograph, he said sure I dont remember if I got a hug(i was shaking so bad) I told him thank you and i will be in the first row his side to look for me.I realized that i didnt have dave sign my CD so I go back up and say i forgot to have you sign my cd can you he said sure, i asked him if he had time would he put my name on it, he said sure what it is, i told him and he says "b-e-c-k-y right ? ME:: ummmmm yes? I was so out of it i couldnt even remember how to spell my name lol I asked him for a hug and i got one squeeeeeeeeeee!!!! Dave was really trying to move people along because a huge crowd was starting to gather around. He kept saying we got to be quick I got to go eat, he was like im sorry i got to go he was walking away when he saw these two little girls he turned and said "oh no i want to get these kids before i go" SO SWEET. He went to go up the elevators and i stared at his butt lmao He is alot thinner in person (not that he is fat ) he sounds different to. I was so struck how he just looks like a normal dude, like the guy could be living next door to me. I was shaking for a good hr. STILL NO NEAL
We left to go to the crown plaza to meet Karen but it was so f***ing cold out there after about 10 minutes we went back in to the casino, we all went back to the elevators where we were talking to some other DCO'ers (whose names i dont remember and here is why ) I looked up behind the lady and i see a group of girls talking to someone and its joey I see him and go "its joey!! " I practically ran over renee and the other person to get to him. (sorry) I get over there I say Hi joey im becky and shook his hand, I asked him to sign my CD so as he is signing Karen calls me to see where i am, i answer and say "im talking to joey right now bye" and hang up. Joey starts laughing. He is still writing at this point he hands it back to me and says "I hope that ok" i look down and he practically wrote a book lol I told him it was more then ok and then asked for pic and a hug got both and moved out of the way. It does pay to go first because renee and others just go this signature since he was rushing at that time. STILL NO NEAL. Renee and I realized the elevators is the place to wait because they take you to the penthouse suite. We met up with Karen finally and I am talking to her and out of the corner of my eye i see Kyle just walking along with no one near him, I again say " kyle!! " and bust through the circle straight for him. I am the first one there and i said 'hi kyle" i shook his hand and asked if he would sign and take a pic he did. I felt kind of bad cause as soon as i got to him there was a pack of people surrounding him. He looked like a deer in headlights poor baby. Security took him away quickly. STILL NO NEAL.

WE decided to go eat at the buffet since it was sound check time, earlier we found out that you could not have cameras or drinks in the center so I needed to find a place to put the JD for neal and my camera. I stuck the camera in my bra and the jack down my pants (seriously) I had a big shirt so you really couldnt see anything unless i pointed it out lol.
CONCERT TIME !!!! I didnt need to hide anything since they didnt search bags but oh well its still a funny story.My sister sat at the bar while i went to get some merch, so she text me and tells me she just met a girl named Amy from my board im oh yeah thats good. lol I met lurker erica who sat next to me. MY sister comes in and tells the story of Amy. Amy starts talking to my sister and asked debbie (my sis) if she is here for david cook my sister says yes with my sister she is in there getting merch. amy then says "your sister isnt becky is she ?" My sister was like huhwhat??? and said YES YES SHE IS. she was blown away by that. My sister and i were sitting in our seats trying to figure out our camera when Jasmine and cathryn ( i think) came up to say hi after they leave my sister says "god you must be famous on the boards everyone knows you " I said i dont know if thats a good thing or a bad thing that everyone knows me. CONCERT AMAZING !! during heroes I was jumping up and down waving my arms back and forth and he looked at me and did that thing with his eyes and eyebrows while he is singing like "hi i see you" and erica and my sister were freaking and were saying oh my god he looked at you. Some dudes in the second row yelled "david cook yeahhhh" Dave goes "yeahhhhh" he then asked who said that and the guys raised there hands and dave said "you know you sound like the kool aid man from the commercials " he then proceeds to tell a story about the show the family guy, (i dont know) Someone requested he take off his condom hat he said he would but for only 10 seconds he told andy to play some type of timer music, he took it off counted to ten and put it back on and everyone boo'ed Dave says seriously i am being boo'ed for wearing a hat are you here to see the hat or are you here to see this and turns around to show us his SWEET ASS. I lost it. During permanent my sister started to scream and i told her dont scream thats rude. well other people started to scream and she whispered they are screaming why cant i, i told her its disrespectful. I started to shake half way through it was so beautiful. I did not notice this but karen did that neal was playing guitar with a bow during permanent, she said she lost it when she saw that. I think sometime later he smiled at Erica i dont remember what song. I am sure there was more banter but i dont remember it. BAR BA SOL is a sexual experience y'all i lost my s*** during the guitar sex when neal came to my side i screamed so loud i think i almost blew erica's ear drums out lol,. During ADAM I looked at andy and waved and smiled and he smiled back and nodded, i peed myself true story lol Dave came to our side at one point during the woah woah woahs and my sister stuck her hand out and he grabbed it she freaked and i almost hit her LUCKY b**** lol

STILL WITH ME ? DAMN IM BORING MYSELF NOW

As soon as they left the stage we booked it to find the bus we found out it was still at the crown. so about 40 of us stood around talking met Stacey the mod from the WNH , kristin, and some others from the dash, awesome girls. Stood around got a text that candice saw neal and javi ran back to the event center he was gone. BACK AND FORTH to bus and caisno for a good two hrs. We were finally told that the bus is not leaving til 1:45 am and they are picking the boys up at the hotel. Everyone left of course we didnt, on the way back to the casino a man told us that he saw neal in one of the bars i asked which bar there are three, he just looked at me and said you will have to figure it out. We all searched the bars two or three times. no luck. I WAS TIRED AND SORE. We all sat on the benches, karen and her friend went to have a drink at another bar, i kept saying im leaving at 11, no 12 at 12:30 i decided i was leaving for sure so i took renee with me to find and say goodbye to karen, after i said goodbye we scoped the bars again STILL NO NEAL. I stayed because candice had a feeling we would meet them, about 1:15 i was a walking zombie i told them i am leaving for sure im going to make one more sweep of the bars and then im going. I left my purse with the jack only thing i brought with me was my ID and my phone. I get to the last bar and who do i see surrounded by girls NEAL f***ING TIEMANN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I get on my phone and call karen for them to haul ass over here neal is here. I didnt want to interrupt but i NEEDED to talk to him so i made myself a hole and got up to him and said hi neal im becky and shook his hand, i asked for an autograph, i told him that i didnt have any of my stuff so could you sign this napkin (bwahhhhh) he got this cute smile on his face and said yeah sure. I asked him if someone bought you some jack could he accept it, he said they(TPTB) dont want us to but i dont care. I said well i had some for you but my stuff isnt here and he said oh that sucks. Karen and renee finally showed up with my purse and i take it out and say "here you go" his face lit up and he gave me a hug (squeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!) we had an amazing conversation Karen asked about the bow he used during permanent and when did he start doing that apparently it was 3 or 4 shows ago, I asked if it was true that he was the musical director he said yes i said well im mad at you then since your in charge why arent you playing "let go" He said dave, andy and him sat down at the beginning of the tour and discussed what songs they would be playing from MWK, and AH and they decided that song was a more dave , andy , neal song more then the band (i dont know what that meant) maybe on the next tour. I kept looking at his fangs and thinking how f***ing hot he looked in person. I told him i was glad he clamped down on the craziness that was going on on his myspace. It was getting super freaky and some girls are cuckoo for cocoa puffs(he laughed at that) he said those girls really dont bother him and its all good, (so if it doesnt bother him it doesnt bother me) I looked at his fang necklace and asked if that was the fang that the fanGurls gave him he said yes and he finds it funny the names fans come up with like the word nerds and etc, but he said he loves it. I asked him if andy and him were ok with dave singing MWK songs since he didnt originally, and the issue was the cause of major fights on the boards he said they sat down and had a discussion and Dave was really was the only one that had an issue with singing "make me" because he was in the band at the time and just played guitar, he said something else about how they convinced him to do it but i got distracted by the pretty lmao.I told him that he was the one i wanted to meet the most even more then Dave, and he is becoming the most popular band member on the boards and he said it really isnt about them its about dave and they are here to support him. I about died right there. Karen asked what book he had read lately, i wasnt paying attention to the answer (the pretty is really distracting) I asked neal if the band would ever have a name because we really didnt want to make up our own name but we felt like the band should have a name and not be faceless, he said yes they will have a name very soon. I asked what it will be and he wouldnt tell me, I was like ohhhh come on a hint He said it has something to do with a name of an MWK song. I said well that narrows it down there are alot of them. It should be announced very soon they just need to work out some legal stuff. It will be David Cook and ???? Candice husband is in the army so he came up to shake Neal's hand and thank him for going on the USO tour he said it really was an honor and really he just wanted to ride in an army helicopter (we all laughed) at this point i realized that Kyle was standing behind him the whole time lol We started talking to him and i apologized for jumping on him and scaring him earlier he told me it was fine he had just woken up and was not prepared for that. I asked them both if the army dudes knew who they were and kyle said oh yeah they did and they were awesome crowds. Will (candices husband) was talking to neal about decals or patches that go on your arms( i dont know) and neal said a medic took his patch of his arm and gave it neal because people call him the dr. You guys know that right? karen and i laughed and said yes we do. He was so honored and touched by that. Will showed him some kind of coin type thing that the army guys exchange(i dont know) and neal knew exactly what he was talking about and opened his wallet to show him a bunch more that he carries with him at all times. Renee finally said that her daughter was a huge fan but couldnt come in here because she is only 20 and could he sign the CD for her and instead of just signing he said where is she , out in the hallway and he said, well lets go out there and meet her. I about DIED !! He went out there took a picture talked with her, he had to go by that point cause they were leaving so i got a pic and i think renee did to, at one point i hugged him and i went to pull away and he hugged me tighter OH MY GOD!!!!! He gives amazing hugs better then Dave. He left and we went out front because we saw the bus pull up for the boys. All im going to say from what i observed on the bus those boys really really like being rockstars. If you read my twitters you know what i am talking about

IF YOUR STILL HERE BLESS YOU!!!!!!

These past two days have been the most amazing days of my life. I met some awesome new friends, i met some amazing rockstars, had an awesome conversation with Neal. I gained so much more respect and appreciation for him. I was proud of myself for being able to put two sentences together. I was not nervous at all talking to him. I felt like I was talking to an old friend. GREAT DUDE.

My mission was accomplished meet NFT and give him jack.

Comments for this Blog post

Hi Becky: What an incredible recap you gave of the Seneca Niagara concert. I was not aware of these specific concert date threads before going to the concert nor of the cellcasts, twitter reports etc so I've been going over them since I recently discovered them here on the site.

I have to tell you I laughed so hard at your STILL WITH ME ? DAMN IM BORING MYSELF NOW and your
IF YOUR STILL HERE BLESS YOU!!!!!!... but i read the whole thing in one shot as I was captivated. Imagine my surprise when I see you mention my kids meeting David in the lobby.

"Dave was really trying to move people along because a huge crowd was starting to gather around. He kept saying we got to be quick I got to go eat, he was like im sorry i got to go he was walking away when he saw these two little girls he turned and said "oh no i want to get these kids before i go" "

That was us!

We had just come out of the Three Sisters Restaurant and came upon the crowd where David and Andy were. We could hear him saying he had to go so we just watched him sign the stuff and do the pictures of those closest to him, and were just so grateful for at least seeing him in person (yes handsome, taller than I was expecting, not sure why) and hearing him interact with others. We took a few pictures of him while he was with the others so we could at least be able to say we saw him up close. So imagine our delight and shock when he singled us out and said he wanted to see "...these kids"... MY kids!!! They were beaming from ear to ear (ok so was I!!), he said he'd get a picture with them and I said thanks, and what about with their Mom Smiling... he said "sure if we can do it all together" and that was more than fine with me!!
My hubby took the picture for us and we said a few more words to David, and as my kids were walking away he called them back and asked their names!!! What an awesome guy! I think we were all too 'starstruck' and knew he was pressed for time so we hadn't introduced ourselves... which I would normally do or expect my kids to do. My husband shook his hand and said he was really pleased to meet him. I think David appreciated that from an "older guy" !! Oh and by the way, it was a girl and boy, not two girls. My son is 8 and has longish hair and a beautiful face so easy to mistake him for a girl. Plus, I think he might have been the only young boy at the whole show as I didn't see any others!! He was rooting for David all season on AI last year and was stoked to go and see him, as well as meet him. He wanted to ask David if he was now a millionaire... I told him that was a personal question best left unasked!! After we'd said our thanks and goodbye's David scooted over to the elevators... leaving a lasting impression on all of us as a really good-hearted, and sincere guy!

It was funny though because about an hour or so before we saw David we had seen Andy and Joey walking towards us as we waited in the lobby and we didn't approach them as we sensed they were heading somewhere specific and didn't want to delay them. So by this time we had seen Andy, Joey and David all before the show. We were ecstatic. I think this might be the longest reply you've had...maybe I should post my own recap... but thought I'd also mention that we were triple blessed that day as we got a chance to go to the meet and greet after the concert. We met the entire band, Neal first... then the rest , like a wedding receiving line. We got a photo with all 5 of them...must post my own recap to share that story. I have posted that photo in the "You and David" section. Right now it's one of the first ones you see when you go to that section. Plus I have a few more pics of just the band that I have not posted and they show Neal the best... I'll try to post these.

Another funny thing is that one of the twitpics posted on the thread for Niagara was the picture we were having taken with David from the side angle that someone else took as we were standing there. I'm not sure if you took that, but I was surprised to see it there and it feels kind of neat to have been part of everyone else's viewing of the days' events without even knowing it until a month after the fact.

Anyway, totally awesome recap you gave. It was so detailed yet entertaining. Sounds like you had an incredible experience especially meeting Neal.. Kudos to you and thanks for including us in your epic experience!

Fan of You, David

Javi sitting with ladies? Is there something I should know?

Thanks for that wonderful recap. I am dissapointed that I didn't get to meet Dave and the other guys at the show. I showed up around 5 and checked the Casino for them...but no luck. I hung around 2 hrs after the show (in the lobby, by the bus, in the casino, etc.), but had to head back home to Toronto cause my friend could barely keep her eyes open. The only two things that would have made the experience better would have been meeting the band and meeting you and your friends. However, I feel like I have met the band after reading your recap. Thanks again for sharing it with all of us. It was wonderful!!!

Hugs and Kisses,

Oh Becky!! amazing recap and thank you for mentioning me!! We had a blast with the others. I'm so glad you got to give Neals the Jacks and had a great time with him. It was so great meeting you, Karen, Rachel, Kathy, Candice and Will, Renee, Krys and everyone else. What you went through those last too days was so worth it and I'm glad I was part of our crazy encounters with some of the boys.If given the opportunity, we have to hang out again!! I've found new friends due to what we've experienced together!! Eye-wink Laughing out loud Sticking out tongue

*big hugs*

Stephora

Wow! I was with you for 90% of all of that and I felt like I was reading it for the first time, LOL... My own stupidity for not getting a picture with David but I can promise if I ever get the chance again it will not pass me by. Sticking out tongue I had so much fun hanging with you, Renee and Krys... Will and I are grateful we ran into ya'll! *muwah*

LOL! Will wanted me to correct you on one little detail... Will is not in the ARMY, he is in the AIR FORCE Smiling

Waiting at the airport to head back home to Texas, where it is WARM! LMAO

BECKS

The recap was not long enough!! franniewessel--

Love your adventures. But TMI about Neal. He might care a little.

Thanks for the detailed recap! I was following your tweets but this is much more comprehensive. Especially love the bit about Neal and Andy having to talk Dave into doing MWK songs. Those boys are so sweet.

Neal sounds awesome, hope I get to meet him someday.

Becky, thanks for the recap. I was there but didn't see any of the band except for the fab concert. However reading your story makes me feel like I met them. The blow by blow was a hoot. Loved the concert insights. I was too far back to be noticed. Died laughing when you mentioned the security guard Jason. He was a source of info about where Dave was staying as we were on the 26 floor (one floor below). We left a Red Bull outside what we think was his room! I'm so glad you were able to give Neil his gift. How thoughtful.
Let's get them back and do it all again.

Loved your recap. It felt like we were right there with you. BUT, I haven't read your twitters and it's killing me to know what you meant about the bus and the boys really really like being rock stars. What do you mean???

--
"when you find you, come back to me"

Whoa... wait ... is it the end of the recap already... no -- I want more... what do you mean too long...???
(lol)

Becky, it was seriously the most natural and the most fun trip recap I've ever read.Thank you much for sharing. Felt like I was actually there while you were telling your story...

I'm from the West but my husband and I visited Niagara Falls last year and even wandered around in the Seneca casino for a while..

Sincerely glad that you accomplished the goal you'd set for yourself in this Niagara concert -- meet Dave and his band, and even got a whopping special treatment from Neal!

Awwh Becks. I've been excited for you since back when you were stressing over tickets. Your recap was such fun that I feel like I'm out of breath from all the running around. I'm glad you got to meet each member of Anody...err EEB, and David. Front row seats? That alone is awesome. NFT. No words. Thanks for sharing and letting us be happy for and with you. Bask in the glow.

Becky that is so great. I was on the edge of my seat reading your story. It definetly was not to long. I am also jealous however...lol. I am such a huge fan of Neal's and was looking for him last night as well but the girl that was with me was so tired I had to take her back to the motel around midnight. I have one more shot next weekend at Atlantic City. From your story it sounds like you just need to be patient and he will eventually show up. I am so happy for you. That is an incredible story. Thanks for sharing.

Becks, what a great picture you've painted of your 2 days stalking, listening, seeing and talking to DWEEB. I really respect your ability to stay centered enough to hold a real conversation with the guys. Good for you. Takes guts and a firm sense of self so that you can focus on them and not go all selfconscious. Congratulations.

Becky, that was great. Thanks for sharing!

Love your recap and Loved you tweets over the past few days. I wish you were going to a show I was going to.

That was great Becky. You make me laugh so much. I love your passion and your determination.

You teach me to rise up.

It really was easy to read your whole blog and you made me feel as if I was there with you. I know it was so much fun to meet all of the boys. I love that they are enjoying being rockstars. They are just too adorable!

Great recap Becks. I don't know how you kept all that detail straight. I'm so glad you got to meet all the guys.

You can come back baby, Rock 'n Roll never forgets - Bob Seger

Loved your recap, and all the info you all got from Neal So glad you got to meet them all.

Thank you for writing such a thorough and entertaining recap. You really captured the insanity and fun of being there! I am a little bit, okay a lot on the envious side!! Smiling

I loved your recap and the slow build to meeting Neal in the end! I am so glad that you finally got to meet him! He really is awesome! I met him at the show that I went to also. He was the LAST guy in the band that I got to meet. Most of the fans in the meet and greet line had already left by the time he came out. We waited patiently and it was well worth the wait! I LOVED him! He has this wonderful vibe about him. I put my arm around him for a picture and he is just so lovable! LOL... In the cellcast chat, I have seen a few people say that they think he's scary (probably because he looks like a badboy Rocker with his tats and fangs LOL). I am the first one to tell him that is is SO NOT scary! He is the nicest guy!

I loved your recap! It was almost like being there! I did take a break in the middle of reading it, but I came back and read the whole thing! hahaha I missed your cellcast because I had plans with my boyfriend, but Mandy said that your phone did not cut off. She said her Skype messed up and sent the last 2 songs to voicemail somehow. haha I'm sure that everyone missed your F bombs during BBS last night! haha... See you in the cellcast chat!

I feel alive beside you

We fall into each other
Your atmosphere is all I’m breathing in

WOW

Awesome recap, thanks for sharing with all of us! And thanks for all of the great info you got from Neal!!

This was so much fun to read. I'm glad you achieved your goal of meeting Neal, he sounds like such an awesome guy.The whole band sounds amazing. I loved reading about how you got to meet them all. David has managed to surround himself with great people. I hope you copy and paste the story of the discussion about MWK songs (there are several places this story can go.... ) I think everyone should know that Andy approves of David singing them. I loved the part where you reported that David was the only one who had a problem.

I had fun reading your blog. The whole experiance was amazingly fun for you and it showed in your writing! Thank you for sharing your wonderful time with all with us - and no, your story is not too long.

Congrats on meeting Neal and thanks for sharing your review!!
