Meeting/Kissing/etc. Green Day

[GreenDay808]

i met tre today

in nashville and jason freese too.

we were walking around downtown and just...saw the two of them walking around with some girl.

we went into a gift shop and they were in there and i was like tre!

and he turned around and said hi and i said hi and he just kind of wandered off, haha..

so i asked jason if i could have a picture with him and he said sure and we talked to him for awhile and he was super nice.

then tre came back and threw something at jason...

and then he started playing with this toy mosquito that was in the shop? and was like BLOOD SUCKING MOSQUITO FROM NASHVILLE!

i was afraid he was going to be a dick but he wasnt at all.

we ate at subway after that and as we were coming out i look up to see this van

and i see mike, and then i see tre and he waved at us! before we even waved at him, haha

i thought it was cool that he remembered us and waved

aaand...im sitting in a library right now and their tour buses are litterally like a block away. we saw billies deja vu liscense plate

ahh your so fucking lucky!!!

haha, they seem really nice(:

wish i could meet them.

I met them, and I was talking to Mike about my 45 insert necklace because he said he liked it and was telling me about his shoes and then was showing me his 45 tattoo, although he wasnt sure what arm it was on. And my mom was talking to Billie Joe about how they have the same birthday. Yea and I kinda wish I had talked to them more but I was being all shy and awkward...

Where did you meet them?

so after i met tre on thursday...

we creeped around downtown nashville all day looking for billie and mike, but no luck.

at like...midnight we drove past their hotel and mike was standing outside smoking a cigarette, so we hurried up and parked and went back to talk to him but by the time we got there he was already gone

then yesterday while we were waiting in line for the concert we heard that mike was walking around downtown so me and a few other people from the line went to look for him..

and we found him in a bbq resteraunt! haha he saw us in there and said he didnt want to take pictures because then hed be stuck doing that all day but he was superrr nice and told us to watch out for each other during the show

sooo now ive met all of them except billie. he was nowhere to be found

[hoistthecolors]

so i went to radio city with a couple of friends to watch the stars arrive at the vma's, and for some reason, it completely slipped my mind that green day would even be attending.

btw, did anyone know they have an announcer for the red carpet? ... well they do, hahaha.

we got spots right across from where the stars exit their cars and head up to the red platform, take a few pics, then move on to the red carpet. so we're watching, people are screaming, cameras are flashing.. and then all of a sudden 'ladies and gentlemen, make some noise for green dayyyy!'

i didn't know what to do. i was maybe fifty feet away from the box, directly across the street, and before i knew it the three of them were hopping up the steps, and the crowd went crazy (which made me happy). but there they were-- out of concert, out of a tv screen, no satellite delays between us. just breathing, laughing, wonderful individuals. mike climbed up on the barricades to see the super-fans, tre was being his usual crazy self, and billie his laughing, secret genius. i felt so helpless. all i've ever wanted is to be able to tell them how much they did for me, and many others; to make them realize and see how much of an influence and inspiration they are. and they were there and i was across the street, and there was nothing i could do, but everything that i'd done and everything they'd done had led up to that moment and we still weren't close enough.

it was one of the worst feelings i think i've ever experienced; being that close to idols and not being able to do a thing.

it was still great to see them, but.. what a weird situation.

has anyone else had a similar experience?

That sort of thing happens to me EVERY TIME I'm anywhere near the band. I saw Mike at Rudy's once and didn't want to bother him because he was with his family, but every one else was bothering him, which I thought was super douchey. I've had similar experiences with Billie and Tré. I know exactly how you feel; it's very bittersweet.

[-Billiejoezee-]

I don't understand why people ask,"what did billie smell like" when someone hugs them during a concert up on stage. Obvious he smells like sweat.

yeah that really sucks.. i know what you're saying though, that's a hard situation. it's so bad though! because you know if it wasn't any other time or place you would go, you would do it. but in my position i really couldn't, and just seeing them there... ughhhh.

i'm glad i'm not alone =) (even though i knew i wasn't haha)

[-Billiejoezee-]

If i saw Billie joe on the street i'd run away.

im not joking i'd be soo nervous and embarrased so i'd run away before he sees me wearing a GD shirt.

He could smell like sparkles or something

[-Billiejoezee-]

He could smell like sparkles or something

Or like a sweet cologne.

[hoistthecolors]

I have yet to go to Rudy's......and Im so close...thats a perk about living in the Bay Area....this is where Green Day lives!

I heard Rudy's has good food but lord knows I wouldnt be there just for the food

so how often does Mike stop by?

[-Billiejoezee-]

yeah its just like what if your dressed bad,no camera,bad hair,no make up,no paper and pen for autograph,ect.

[hoistthecolors]

hahahaha ohhh i wouldn't really care about that =) i mean just like if they look busy or stressed or are with family i prolly wouldn't. i'd just want to talk to them, autographs wouldn't really matter. it'd just be like a plus lol

[-Billiejoezee-]

I wouldn't really wanna talk to them,i mean just stand there and tell them what they hear all the time,how much they've inspired me?

[Lauren]

omg, i didn't post my Misery handshake drumstick tie-dye glasses story here? oh well, haha.

[hoistthecolors]

I wouldn't really wanna talk to them,i mean just stand there and tell them what they hear all the time,how much they've inspired me?

in a way, yesss. i'd wanna let them know how much they'd done for me. i think they'd appreciate it. with the right words =)

[-Billiejoezee-]

Me? Right words? Won't work.

[Lauren]

Nah, you gotta say something totally random so that they remember you!

No offense or anything. I mean, I would want to tell them how much they mean to me. but I'd only do that if I got in a long conversation with them.

just make sure you don't wear tie-dye, otherwise Tre will be a jerk to you.
