Where to start.. well in my life I have to say.. my luck... well if it werent for BAD luck.. I'd have NO luck.. or so thats how life seemed.

Never did I think I would get the chance to meet.. let alone SEE Creed live... and with my best friend.. I fulfilled BOTH in one night. Years of ALMOST and unswered prayers ended August 6th as Lisa and I stood.. inches from the tent where Brian, Flip, Scott and Mark awaited.

Nervous... oh god yes.. but this feeling inside me.. said.. we waited over FIVE years for this moment. Lisa had this amazing indian cross to give to Scott... she had tried YEARS to get this to Scott.. even giving it to me to pass to him in Canada when he opened for INXS... well I didnt get close enough.. and we realize now.. EVERYTHING happens for a reason.. this cross needed to be delivered with a message.. a message Lisa had waited her entire life to deliver.

So her we stand.. inches from CREED... all 4 original members... I stand before Scott in my PBF shirt.. and he looked down at the logo and could only smile.. I looked him in the eye and told him.. Scott... we got your back... and the moment took me away.. when I shook his hand I pulled him into me for the 'man hug' and he returned the feeling. I hugged him for every PBF member who wanted to say THANK YOU... the smile on his face from that hug.. from the cross Lisa give him... will last forever in my heart.

That night I was treated to the most amazing concert.. for the first time in my life.. I stood in the FRONT of the pit.. with my best friend... to see the band that meant more to me than any other band... and for the FIRST TIME.. I FELT a concert.. rather than just watched a concert.

THANK YOU Brian, Scott, Mark and Scott.
