Dec. 8, 1999...  after years of chatting, and workin, and bitching, and lol,
and rotf together online,, Wildchild and Nae FINALLY meet in person!!  29
hours and almost 1000 miles from home, the wild woman comes off the bus with
a look on her face that just said...'if i never see another bus again in my
life,, ill be a happy camper'!!!  lol  Sorry Wildie,,  still got a couple
more buses in store for you!!!

THE DAY OF THE SHOW:

 About 2.30 in the afternoon,,, we packed up  da'lil man in his car seat (
gotta prepair him now for these rock n roll treks if he's gonna take after
his momma,  plus i didnt have a babysitter!! )  filled up the tank, and with
'seemingly' simple directions from Boston to Nashua,  The Twisted Sisterzzz,
with Da'Can at the wheel, took off for our long awaited/much antisipated
night of our lives!!

As i said,, the directions seemed simple, but with the blind, the blond, and
the can navigating,, we should have known better.. Leave it to us to turn a
one hour drive into a two + hour journey.  After having to double back after
THREE wrong turns (the sun was in my eyes MY ASS!!!) we finally arrived at
Sharky's, figuring that it was too late to catch the band before the
instore.  Regardless,, we circled around in search of the tourbus, which was
nowhere in sight, until we finally decided to hop out and call a cab to take
us to Rock It Records for the meet n greet.  Thats when Da'Can informs us
that there was someone in the club the first time we drove by it,, so we go
to check it out and thats when Wildie goes...' NAE!!!! DUAHHHHHH... Thats
BAM BAM,, how could anyone miss that hair!!!' Just then someone comes
walking out of the club... so we all but pounced on him.."HEY,, IS THAT
BAMBAM IN THERE????"  "TELL HIM WILDCHILD IS HERE!!!he's expecting us."   A
few minutes later Bam Bam comes running out of the club and goes over to
Wildie and gives her a big ol' hug n a kiss.  So now that we were all set I
went over to say bye to da'can and the lil (not so) mute (anymore) boy and
then Bam Bam took Wildie & me into the club where we got all the info on the
in-store, and we met T-Rod (seems everyone has heard the name WILDCHILD!!!)
and then about 10 minutes later i hear someone scream 'LETS GET
WIIIIIILLLDDDDDD!!!!) and i turn around and see DA'MAN smackin Wildie on the
back (im surprised ya didnt cough up a lung on that one Wild)  n givin her a
hug n a kiss, and then Bam Bam points ta me and says  'and thats nae' and
sebastian comes over to me and gives me a hi-five and steps on my foot
(heaven!!! PURE HEAVEN!!!)  Then someone comes out and tells them that its
time for the instore and bam bam gets the addy for us and tells us its close
enough and to just hop in a cab and head on over there....OOOOPPPPPPSSSSS,
that  reminds me!! lol  We had completely forgotten about the cab we called,
and figured they would probably be a lil miffed about us  stiffin em,, so we
scrambled to find a number to a different cab co..  So we run back to the
payphone and call another cab, who tells us its gonna take 20 to 30 minutes
to pick us up (we dont want to wait 20 - 30 minutes!!!damnit!!) when guess
who pulls up...... The cab we thought we had blown off earlier.. so off we
went to the instore...  AWE SHIT...i forgot to call the other one back to
cancel!!  *note to self,, remember which cab co ya stiffed,, and call the
other one for the trip back to boston!!!*

When we got to Rock It Records, as were hoppin outta the cab we noticed
someone waving,,, 'um,, wildie, i think someone's waving to us'   and then
the guy yells over.. 'I KNOW YOU  TWO'.  It was  Scoonman, live and in
person!!!  He was telling us all about the show he had just seen in Conn
while we were waiting in line outside of the store, and before ya knew it,
it was time to go in and meet the band.  After Scoon went up and talked to
sebastian and got his stuff signed it was my turn...  i went around to the
side of sebastian sos wildie could take my picture with Da'Man and (musta
been a lil too eager) smacked heads with him. What the hell,, if yer gonna
get brain damage,,, thats the way ta do it!!  Now its Wildies turn to greet
Da'Man as i try to steady my hand and aim my camera, *note to self,,, get
better, more advanced camera,, preferable without the annoying red lite, and
WITH zoom lens* and i snap a couple a shots of them, obscene as they may
be!!!    By this time Wildie and I had recieved numerous compliments on the
Sebastian Bach & Friends jackets we were wearing that Wildie had made
herself,, not to mention requests for them!

After we left the instore we started to head back towards the club with
Scoon.  By the time we got back there it was about 6.30, and a line had
already formed at the front door (doors open at 8).  After hanging around
for a lil while, Scoon left to go to his hotel for a few, he'd be back
later, then about 15 20 minutes later the staff at the club who had seen us
in there earlier with Bam Bam let Wildie and myself in, unfortunately this
is how we missed bam bam, (but we ended up seeing him later that night
before they went on!).  A little while after the first opening band came on
Scoonman returned, so we hung around the bar and had a few drinks and talked
and shit,, and then shortly before the second band finished up Bam Bam came
out.  We talked to him for a few minutes and he introduced us to his friend
Russ and told us Russ would save a spot for us up near the front ( front and
center was already outta reach, seen as it filled up within minutes of the
doors being open ).

Sebastian Bach & Friends LIVE:
Well shit, what can I say...... THEY KICKED ASS!!!  From the word go it was
nonstop, hair flying - water spittin - sweat dripping rock n roll!!!  The
kind of rock n roll you can only experience with Sebastian Bach at the
helm!!  Bam Bam was insane on the drums,, the man never stops!!  Richie, as
usual, was amazing on the guitar and Larry.... is just toooo cool!!!  I must
admit, I kinda missed seeing those big green wings looming over the crowd,
but Paul Crook came  in with some pretty big shoes to fill,, and he fit em
to a T!!  There was nothing missing from this band,, they were tight, they
sounded flawless and they looked like they were all having a blast!!!  It
was unbelievable how fast the time flew  by,, it seemed as  though they had
just gotten up on the stage when Sebastian said 'goodnight' to the crowd.  (
Of course it isnt over yet,,, there's no way in hell Da'Man isnt going to
sing Youth Gone Wild)
Somewhere in the back of the crowd it begins, and rolls like thunder to the
front of the stage until the whole crowd is roaring 'youth  gone wild, youth
goNE WILD, YOUTH GONE WILD!!!!!'    The band comes back out and does a
couple more songs, and after the insane crowd starts to die down Sebastian
says to the crowd....  "ID LIKE TO DEDICATE THIS SONG TO A GIRL HERE
TONIGHT... WILDCHILD.... where is she... I DONT EVEN KNOW WHERE YA ARE!!!"
and as he looks around Im pointing to wildie,,, Wildies got her hand raised
in the air and  Sebastian finally catches sight of her and points and smiles
at her and then rips into   YOUTH     GONE    WIIIIILLLLLDDDD!!!!!!  We were
both absolutely blown away!!!!  Of course the crowd was  completely insane
by the end of the song,,, the band said their final goodnight and off they
went....

After the band left we were  hanging around near the stage talking to some
of the other people in the crowd when someone came up and asked me  'Are you
Nae???'  Lo and behold,, yet another one of us Internet/Baz freaks....
KIDDMAN69!!!!  *it was awesome to meet ya joel, hope we get to hang out a
lil longer next time!!*  So the four of us, Wildie Scoon Kiddman and myself,
just chatted for a few minutes until Kiddman had to head out, and then Scoon
was on the move,, again... so it was just me and Wildie hanging around to
see what would happen next.  Finally we went over to the door that lead out
towards the dressing room ( the door that security obviously were'nt going
to let us through)to ask if the band was still around and just when Wildie
and I started to debate on whether or not to head back to boston, Bam Bam
comes walking through and asks us why we're not in the dressing room, so we
tell him that the guy at the door wouldnt let us through..  Thats when Bam
Bam goes over to the man and asks him to take us to the dressing room,, and
he tells him that we are va va va vips!!  lol.  So there we are hanging out
in the dressing room, and Paul comes walking in ( we had actually had the
chance to talk to him during Bam Bam's drum solo, where he ranted and raved
about Wildie's cookies!!! lol) and comments once again on Wildie's baking
abilities!  There was a girl there that i had remembered meeting at the last
Bach & friends show i had  seen in 98 up in NH so we talked to her for a few
minutes until T-Rod came in and told Wildie and myself to go sit on the
tourbus.  We tried to put up a fight, really we did.. Told him " i dunno
man,, its getting kinda late  and we really should be getting home, we're
tired, all we wanna do is go to sleep, maybe next time!!!"  but he just
wasnt having any of that!!!!
OMG,, so there we were,, sitting on the tour bus... Bam Bam came on and sat
down and talked with us for a lil bit,,, Then we seen Paul coming on the
bus, with the cookies tucked tightly under his arm like it was the game
winning football, and then Sebastian comes walking out,, offers us a beer
and says 'move over ya freaks' and sits down right between Wildie and me and
starts talking to us,,, just dont ask me about what cuz im still dragging my
jaw on the floor over this one!!!  A few minutes later he's sparking up, and
then Wildie's token it up, and im just doing my damndest ta try and keep my
slacked jaw outta the way so people dont trip over it and shit!!!  Then
Sebastian asked us if  we had t-shirts, to which we said no (im so
ashamed!!!)  and the next thing I know ... I cant see shit, i can hear
people laughing ( assumingly at me ), but i cant see shit!!!!  Of course
when sebastian threw the t-shirt at wildie it landed neatly in her lap,,,
and im sitting there with a t-shirt over my head!!  ok,, so i finally get
the shirt off my head and i can see again.... and Sebastian comes back over
n sits down with Wildie & me and talks for a lil while, and then T-Rod
invites us to take the ride with them to the hotel, and then off we
went....*oh man,, of all times ta start getting car sikk!!!*  Dont worry,, i
didnt puke all over the band or the bus!!!
Anyways....  while Wildie was sitting there talking to Sebastian & Paul, i
got up and went over and started talking to Bam Bam, who is just sooo
Awesome!!  He is just one of the coolest, nicest guys ive ever met, and hope
to have the pleasure of meeting again!!  After Sebastain got up I went back
over and talked to wildie, and then Bam Bam came over and sat with us when
all of a sudden t-shirts were flyin again.... *hey wildie,, here's shirt in
yer eye!!!*   As im watching the shirt bounce off of wildies face and fall
into her lap.....smmmaaaccckkkk...shirt on my head!!!  again!  i know he was
aiming that time,, i just know it!!!  and ya know what..... not only does it
work on
birds..zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!
The t-shirts were awesome btw,, and very much appreciated!! Ill be wearing
one proudly at my sons first parent/teacher confrence!!
After hanging out a lil longer it was finally time for the band to head out
for thier next gig so T-Rod called a cab for us because they wanted to make
sure we were all set before they took off, and then we said our goodbyes :{
We stood there in front of the hotel lobby and watched as the bus pulled out
of the parking lot, and the reality of the whole night didnt even have a
chance to sink in before it all began to feel like a dream.  It was, after
all, a DREAM!!
