[Mr. Stefani]

Were there any successful attempts in shutting her up
?

Hope you had a good time.

[Kristina]

Oh my god! It was awesome. It was perfect. Here's the story:

Okay, I got to the arena around 12:00pm and the doors didn't open until 6:30pm so I was waiting a long time, but good thing I did only a certain amount of people got pink wristbands. I already had floor tickets but the pink wristband lets 400 people right in front of the stage area. So I was close. There were two different areas where people were in line outside, our section didn't have that many people waiting but it had hundreds by the time doors opened. It was so long waiting in line all day, I made some friends though. And we played a game there too, a girl made a sign 'Honk if you love Avril' and we went over to the street area and we got alot of honks. Even a huge truck honked and I was laughing hysterichally. But that was late in the afternoon. Earlier around 1pm I heard Avril's band was in the back of the arena skating, I ran as fast as I could and guess what I MET THEM! I got a picture with Evan! They said Avril went in already and just to let you people know I didn't get to meet her at all :( but I met her band. And not long after Matt (Avril's drummer) came to our line area and talked to people and he was shaking peoples hands going 'nice to meet you'. lol.

By the time doors opened after the people stopped pulling **** and finally let us in I was close to the front of the line so I got in quick. I ran into there. Okay blah blah blah the show didn't start till 7:30pm and I was right by the barricades in front, I had a good spot. Gob opened first and they gave an awesome show, but they kept going and it started to piss me off. I'd be ready for them to be over and they'd be like 'our next song is...' lol. The set was 30 minutes. It was interesting though. They threw water out and it got ALL over me, but hey at least it was famous people water. ;)

Next act was Simple Plan, they gave a good performance too. I sang along to what I knew and they had alot of contact with the fans up there, they talked alot. By the time they were done I was exhausted, my legs hurt. So much jumping and standing!

Then a while after they set up it was time for Avril... TRY TO SHUT ME UP flashed on the black curtain thing and everyone started screaming, it was so loud. I was like going crazy screaming lol, Avril came out and performed Sk8er Boi. I was so happy, it was amazing. Avril usually sounds like **** live on TV and stuff but **** that, she sounded awesome in person. She had so much talent and energy, she put on a good show that's for sure. She performed her whole album plus some extra songs (some weird cover I don't know, Knocking On Heavens Door *her cover song*, I Don't Give, Basketcase by Green Day). She changed a couple words to some of her songs too. I was singing along every song, I am still shocked I got to see Avril. Oh, Avril threw beach balls for the crowd to throw around lol. And glittery coffetti came down while she performed 'Tomorrow'. Beautiful. Avril CAN play guitar, she played it for a few songs. Accoustic and electric. Avril invited to people on stage for 'Complicated' unfortunatley not me, I tried though, I was ****in screaming for her to let me up too lmao. Avril talked to the audience a bit too, I like when she said right before performing 'Naked' "everybody take your clothes off!". :D

Best night ever! I had fun.

[Kristina]

Oh yeah she had a cool exit too, all the lights when off and she left where you couldn't see and when the lights came back on and the Avril star was on the TV and on the curtain. Then all the zillion people left and were pushing. BTW I snuck a camera in and got some pictures, I wish I had a scanner. Some pics of the show are on avrilbandaids.com though.

I only saw where they were selling food, I ran in the arena as fast as I could and didn't look when I left. But most likely. Yes, do take a camera. I didn't even really 'SNEAK' one in, they never checked me for one. People even had digital cameras and recorders lol.
