I Met the Pretenders backstage on Friday!

My girlfriend, Sara, took me to see the Pretenders at the Electric Factory on Friday! We got there a couple hours early to get a good spot...and boy did we ever! We stood right in front of Chrissie's mic for the whole show and then stood out back after the show to try and get autographs....again, boy did we ever! We waited FOREVER in the cold and the crowd dwindled to about 15 people - that's when security let us in the back door to go backstage to line up and meet the band! We were shocked they did that!!

We were allowed to get one item signed each (thank God Sara snagged a tech's setlist!) and get one picture with them (but we didnt have a camera and the lady behind us insisted she didnt know how to email photos from her camera....whatever)

Here's what we got to take home!:

We also got a pic from Chrissie which I want to frame in with them.

Oh and before we met them I saw Pierre Robert from 93.3 WMMR and asked him to sign my setlist as well! It was a great night.

Wow, congrats!

But what's up with no "Middle of the Road?" That song kicks serious ass in concert...

^Yeah, I was a little disappointed about not hearing it this time... the new material is ALL great though. The new album is a must have.

That is SO cool! I met Martin Chambers (drummer) at a SXSW party a couple years ago - nice chap.
