I have a case of the Switchfoot Blues

Well, I started writing this just after I posted the last one, pardon my irony.



ahh, Switchfoot.
Such a nice concert.

"Get to the good part!!"
sorry, okayyy.
Despite my massive build up, I didn't get to meet Jon Foreman or give him his Bible.

saaaaad, I know.
BUT, I did have an awesome time with awesome people. Heather, Collin and Josh were my companions on my journey to meet Jon Foreman. Let me tell you, these were some awesome people to be on a journey with. We were all bent on getting him his Bible back.

What happened was...

We got there at around 5:45pm. Heather and I were jumpy with excitement and got our tickets at Will Call. In the ticket envelope were two passes to the Meet & Greet. I looked at the time and it said it was between 5:30 and 6. We realized we had to run to make it, so we ran up the hill to the actual Verizon Amphitheater and reached the place where we were supposed to be. I clocked it at 5:53pm. The lady wouldn't let us in and insisted it was over.

AHH

I had a plan to shout, "I HAVE YOUR BIBLE, JON!" when the croud was quiet. I didn't want him to think I was a flake, haha.

I ended up not doing it..... stupid butterflies. I get so nervous sometimes...

BUT, I was praying that I would be able to get it to him. Almost like a response to my prayer, in the middle of the concert Jon Foreman walked down the center aisle... TURNED onto my aisle and ended up being like five feet away from me. (While still singing, of course)

At that point I was shouting and waving the Bible, but he was turned the other way and the croud was too loud.

What a bummer.
I do have a pretty sweet picture I took with my phone, though. If I can figure out how to put it on here, I will.

After the concert, the four of us talked to security guards about getting it to him, but they said Switchfoot had already left.

gguuuuhhhhhhh.

Cece Apologizes to Her Blog

I'm sorry, blog.

I still love you.
I just don't feel like writing what happened the night I went to the Switchfoot concert, and I know that's what I intended to write next. I hope you'll forgive me.

Love Sincerely,
