Noangel, I just wanted to say thank you for your wonderful essay this morning. It really sums up my feelings about this fandom. I would also enjoy seeing some of your earlier essays while you take a well deserved hiatus.
I had wanted to post sooner, but real life has kept me so busy! I am still on a post-Adam high since last weekend and I wanted to share a few of my experiences.
I had so much fun at the dinner before WB. So many wonderful Atopians and Adam fans. It felt so good to be able to share my excitement with others! The friend I came with was shocked at our intensity and commitment to Adam, lol, ;D but she also had a great time!
Before the WB concert started, I had the pleasure of sitting next to 2 very cute 17-yr old girls. Their energy was infectious! We had a very long conversation about Adam and Trespassing. I was surprised to learn that their favorite song was Underneath, but after thinking about it, it is the perfect song for all of the angst that comes with puberty. One of the girls literally cried tears of joy throughout the concert.
As you know, the WB concert was amazing! Adam just radiated joy! It felt so good to dance and sing along.
After the concert, I decided to stalk Adam. I have never seen him up close and I knew this might be my only chance. My friend and I headed to the back of the theater (along with a hundred other people, lol). We had to wait almost an hour, many people gave up, I almost did too, but then we were rewarded! It was such a surreal experience. He is stunningly beautiful and he gives off an amazing energy! He had such a command of the crowd and he was so kind, making sure he signed for everyone. I wish I would have said something intelligent or witty, but all I could do was stare. :
I was able to pull it together and have him sign my CD and I did take a couple of pictures and get a little video. It was an amazing experience!
Six Flags was my first, and probably only, GA concert. They are not for the weak, lol! Again I met so many wonderful Adam fans, including a very sweet, talkative young man, who was gay. He told me how much Adam inspired him. His favorite song is also Underneath! Once Adam took the stage, all of my aches and pains were forgotten. He just transports me to a wonderful place. It is Nirvana!
There were so many wonderful moments during my Adam adventure, but I've rambled on long enough. I can't wait to reconnect with many of you in London! I have to say this is THE BEST FANDOM EVER!!
I noticed a mistake in the second verse but whateverrr
