Dan the Banner meets Lady Antebellum!

Dan and Lady Antebellum

What a night last night was! After winning a meet & greet to the Lady A show @ Agganis, I was pretty excited to bring Dan the Banner to make some new friends. It took a little bit of work to get Danny by security and into the venue, but I'm pretty persistent and was able to accomplish that mission with some big help from the folks from 102.5...what can I say, I can be quite charming. I was pretty curious about the meet and greet because I love getting pictures of Danny with tall people, and Charles is listed at 6'6". And then I started thinking about how much taller he must be than the other 2, and noticeably more so in person. Imagine my shock when it's my turn and Hillary is about the same height as him. Then I looked down, and wow was she wearing some serious heels, haha. She probably grew about 5 inches in those things. Normally I don't get in the picture with Dan the Banner, but I decided to jump in this one cause I was so excited to be meeting the band, and I'm even more excited that the picture came out so good and all 3 of them looked great. Danny blended in fantastically! They loved the banner, were super nice, and asked what has become the normal question of "Is he really that tall?"
I was so excited for the show, and Lady A certainly did not disappoint putting on an amazing show, and the crowd was great too. Opener David Nail was great too, and commented how he spent most of the day riding the t back and forth. I assumed he was kidding until I saw pics on his twitter account and learned that that, was in fact, true. If you get a chance to catch Lady A on the Need You Now tour, definitely go out and catch a show. If you don't show up a Lady A fan, you'll certainly leave as one.

Dan meets Lifehouse

Well, one member of Lifehouse at least. Spent my day hanging out by Agganis Arena today - with an extra spring in my step knowing BU had just been eliminated from the Hockey East tournament the night before - in hopes of getting some pictures with Danny as both Daughtry and Lifehouse were playing there tonight. The good news: bus access at Agganis is VERY VERY easy, so I had a prime spot ready to go with Dan the Banner in tote. Bad news: Daughtry arrived a little after I got there, headed into the arena and never came back out the entirety of time I was there. I was a little disappointed because, again, I had a great spot had they wandered out at all. Would have LOVED a pic of Dan with Chris Daughtry with or without the rest of the band. Some other time perhaps.
But the day was certainly not a complete loss as I did get a pic of Danny with Jason Wade, lead singer of Lifehouse, who was super SUPER nice, and the pic came out really good. Jason came walking by and stopped for myself and the few other people waiting by the buses and was more than happy to oblige picture and autograph requests. I'd seen online and a couple of the roadies noted how nice the Lifehouse guys were, and I have to agree after meeting Jason. Really excited about this success.
Also made some new friends while I was out waiting by the buses, 2 girls and a guy who were big Daughtry fans and going to the show that night. They were really cool, loved Dan the Banner, and hope you guys enjoyed the show if you see this, it was really nice meeting you! (and hope you don't mind I put your pic up here!) After I talked about the banner and some of the friends he has made they wanted to take a picture with it too, and who can blame them?? One was really excited about taking a picture with the same banner Tom Brady had taken a picture with, and I can't argue with her on that, haha. Would have liked to waiting out by the buses just a little bit longer to see if Daughtry would in fact come out at any point, but my parking was expiring so had to get out of there. With my luck they probably came out 2 minutes after I left.

Didn't get the pic I went there for, but got a couple of other great pics and it was a beautiful day to be outside, so can't complain too much.
