[Tara]

Ok this was my 4th show and Mias very 1st concert...she was mostly excited about the meet and greet and extremely impatient for the the sick puppies to come on stage..the venue itself was very small but it had to be one of the best shows Ive seen...(mayb biased due to it being Mia's first)..

ok..Ive always loved SP ..but they have made a fan of me for life...

I was not concerned with the swearing I told Mia before hand they do that ALOT..but after the show what did shim do...oh he apologized to mia for all the swearing..how incredibly sweet!

the whole band was so incredibly sweet to Mia...I made the meet n greet all about Mia..I tried to make sure it was the greatest concert experience of her young life..but they surpased even my expectations...and I alreadly know how great they are...

so right after the show I brought mia over by their autograph table...shim saw her right away and asked if she enjoyed the show..kinda played with her hair and such she was so surprised her face kinda looked

after all the autographs were signed they did pix and such...then it was our turn...they looked at the scrapbook they seemed really impressed by how many stores we went to..a little disappointed in how many didnt have their cd then they signed their individual pages...gerry gave mia an odd 1 tee...the band signed that 2...shim wrote mia is awesome...and emma signed xoxo..they gave her an emma and shim picks...she told them she played guitar and also wants to learn bass.. ..they also gave her one of emmas cords for her bass..

they took a pic with her...gerry took extra pix with the bands camera...they gave mia lots of hugs..she was kinda shy with Emma but she still gave tons of hugs to all..I wish I caught one hug in particular on camera...but the lighting was kinda bad...Mia held on2 shims neck for almost 5 mins ..Im so glad shes not afraid of heights..or maybe she is and that is why she held on for sooooo long

Wow Tara, that is an awesome story! I wish I had an experience like that at my first concert

[Tara]

Thank you! All Mia has been saying all day is.."Shim just couldnt stop hugging me Momma!" We both had a really good time...Mia cant wait for the next show shes allowed to attend...I have tried(probably in vain) to explain that she may not be allowed at all the shows due to her age...but she was so much fun...we both cant wait til the next show...Mia sends xoxo to all!
