travie baby.

Tuesday, June 8th, 2010

So I got really lucky and met Travie McCoy, the lead singer of Gym Class Heroes, last night before his concert with I Fight Dragons, 3OH!3, and Cobra Starship.  I haven’t even listened to the other groups music before but they were pretty good when they performed.  However, Travie rocked.  I happened to preorder his CD that came with a T-Shirt and I got it an hour before we left in the mail so I wore the shirt.  That shirt was what helped.  When we got to the concert, my friend spotted a tall skinny guy all in white by the tour buses talking to this family and when we realized it was Travie, we headed over there.  The guard stopped us and I told him I just wanted to show him my shirt.  The guard said Travie was talking to the family because they were part of his fan club but right after he finished talking to them, he will give my shirt a quick look and a wave and will have to go because he had some type of press to do.  So as we waited, I guess people started realizing that Travie was outside and saw us waiting, but the guard told them they needed to get away.  Well he came over, started smiling at my shirt, gave me a hug, introduced himself in his New York accent like I didn’t know who the hell he was lol, and we started talking about his album since I listened to it on the way up there.  I thought that was it and he goes “Do you want to take a picture?” So here is the picture!  I didn’t get his autograph because I already had it from when I saw Gym Class Heroes in concert last year.  We knew someone who was working the gates so she got him to sign something for us.  I will add more pictures later.  I met the members of Cobra Starship and got their autographs too.  I’m sleepy…didn’t get home till 4 am and was up at 8 running errands.
