Hey guys this isn't an update to the story.

I've been on vacation and have a lot of work to catch up in but I have band news... even though it's well known by now

1. Chester Bennington: As most (or all of you) have heard by now the lead singer of Linkin Park, Chester Bennington committed suicide a few days ago. Their tour was suppose to start this coming week but has been canceled due to the sudden death. He was a great musician and inspiration that will be missed by many. Chester, thank you for changing music with your voice and band, you will be missed.

2. Sleeping with Sirens: SWS have announced their new album Gossip and released a single named Legends. The album will be released on 9/22/17. It's a great and inspiring song that had been chosen as the Team USA song for the 2018 Winter Olympics. They are also starting a tour soon called the Up Close And Personal Tour with many dates already sold out.

3. Hollywood Undead: HU released a new song a few days ago. It's called California Dreaming and their new album will be out 10/27/17.

4. Fall Out Boy: FOB is going on a USA tour soon for their new album Mania. They are on tour with Blackbear and a 'special guest' that had yet to be announced. The album is released on 9/15/17

5. All Time Low: I completely forgot to mention that earlier this month Rian Dawson and Cassadee Pope broke up. The two had dated for many years and got engaged a few months ago but broke up and are reportedly on good terms. Thy still are friends and support one another but aren't no longer a couple and won't be getting married.

Okay so that's all the band news but now story time...

Warped Tour '17

I got to meet Andy Biersack by going to his TEI class. It was amazing. Life changing experience, he's so nice and funny in person. It was great. I will never forget that day, it also happened to be my first warped tour. And PS, he's taller, funnier, and hotter in person. He asked a few names during questions and after the group picture he was walking out high giving some people and when he high five my friend he actually remembered her name. It was amazing how much he remembered and knew.

I also went to another warped tour date and had a class with Juliet Simms, Andy's wife, and former voice contestant. I listen to BVB and the Andy Black project but Juliet's solo project is among the other music I listen to and it was another great experience with her. She's a great person and makes some funny jokes. She was talking about how to deal with jerks and helping some people with problems. I don't know how many times she was told lady question and ignored it, she stayed at least half an hour later than she was supposed to and then hung out even longer talking to people one on one after we took a group picture. She also gave everyone an autographed copy of her All or Nothing EP.

It was a great experience with both of them and I also got Ash Costello's autograph and ran into Jermey Valentyn (sorry about the spelling) who is the guitarist for NYD.

I've met bands before, SWS, ATL, and now Andy, Juliet, and Ash.

Each and every one of them was supper nice. You'll see things online about how rude celebrities are in person like Justin Bieber or someone else but this isn't the case. Thy truly care about their fans and their well being. They will ask your name and maybe recognize you if they see you again. I mean, I met ATL and Alex greeted me like an old friend from high school and the whole band called my mom cool for bringing her to the signing. Ash Costello called me 'love' and hugged me, we almost took a pic together until security stopped her for 'safety reasons'. SWS laughed at my bad jokes. Juliet called people on their crap and helped a girl deal with her bullying problems and took the presents the fans got her with a huge smile on her face. Andy talked as casual as two friends catching up, no matter the subject whether Juliet's miscarriage, their marriage, his dog, his music... any thing.

They are all so open and nice people, if you ever get the opportunity to see or meet them, take it. They out on a great show too.

Now, I feel like I'm bragging saying I've met all of them, which I'm sorry about. I am not in any way trying to brag, I'm trying to talk about my experience and I wish all of you get the same opportunities I've had. I am very lucky with what I've gotten from my parents music wise. My parents don't even like most of my music. They hate some of it, but they still give me the merch, the tickets, the Meet N' Greet chances, etc...

Thanks
And if any of you have met bands or band members I'd love to hear about your experiences, know what some different musicians are like if nobody else will listen
