We got to go in before the show for Soundcheck. The crowd wasn't huge and we got in and were maybe 3 people back from the stage on the right side.
They started with See You In The Dark and then played a new song that they've been working on...When I Go Home, which they played acoustic. It was very intimate and then was followed by a Meet & Greet session at the back of the room.
We got hugs from all of them and they were super sweet. When I mentioned that we'd met them in San Antonio, Mike goes "I remember!" I was all "Really?" and he insisted that he did. I asked Andy if he'd done any running lately, he admitted he hadn't. During my pic, I stood between Jason and Mike. Jason had his hand on my shoulder and was totally rubbing back and forth, it kind of surprised me but it wasn't unpleasant ;)
So after soundcheck we had to go back out and get back in line for entry...We talked to several people in line and of course there were people that were complaining that it wasn't fair that they'd gotten there at 6AM and after soundcheck couldn't get their place back...blah blah blah....it ended up not really mattering anyway.
When they let us in, we got RIGHT up front. Goose was a total groupie and got right against the barricade. They had two bands open for them. Ashlyne Huff came on first but was losing her voice and was only able to play 2 songs before she had to stop. Just Kait played next and I was actually pretty impressed. She had kind of a grunge sound and was pretty talented for being only 17-18. She was fun and her crazy guitarist was funny. I didn't hear all of it but somehow Goose and the girl next to her got him to come over to the edge of the stage before they started and he knelt down and leaned over so they could touch his hair! They both totally scruffed his curls good! LOL
OK so when Honor Society finally came out it was all dramatic, with lights and smoke and everything. They did a great show and had lots of energy. They looked at us several times and interacted well with the audience. I took lots of pictures and rocked out.
Then after the show, there was a merchandise meet & greet. They sat at a table and signed stuff so you couldn’t take more pictures, but they totally recognized us again. Jason questioned me about the show asking me to rate it 0-Amazing. Of course I said "amazing" Mike told Goose he'd seen her rocking out on the front row. And I questioned him again if he told everyone that he remembered them. He says "No I do, I have a really good memory" and I said, "I'm just amazed because you meet SO many people every day" He said, "yeah but I'm really good with faces" and Jason agreed that he was and then we talked a little about the birthday card we'd given him in SA last August, so I guess I'm convinced. They were super cool and really spent time talking with us and didn’t act like they were rushed, or tired, or couldn’t wait to get it over with or anything! :)
