Woot! I am the 16th or so poster! When are you guys coming back to Chicago?! The crowd kinda sucked that Friday nite. Me and my friend Kristina got bitched at for moshing "What are you guys doing settle down, I'm trying to watch them" So my friend went crazey on her "This isn't a fucking church bitch!! This is a ROCK SHOW, say it with me ROCK SHOW...! So shove it up your ass!" It was kickin! Then all these guys were like "man you guys are some crazey chicks in the pit" It was the best time I have had in awhile! To bad you guys aren't going to be at Warped! Let me know when your gonna be in Chi-Town!!! We need to get a better crowd next time! Keep rockin! You got my votes on MTV ;)

*************SEAN, DEREK AND RYAN**************

WHAT'S UP GUYS! GREAT THAT YOU GUYS HAVE A DAY OFF. I hope you guys are having a relaxing day. I saw the line outside of the Plush when I was leaving...that is crazy Prince only stayed for like a sec. What a douche! Ok, so I am a little confused here...I thought you guys were playing on Sat. in ATL, right? I sure hope so b/c that is the day I am driving up to see you! CAN'T WAIT!!!
So I talked to my mom last night for the first time in like 2 weeks and I gave her some high lights of my awesome week meeting you guys in Orlando and Jacksonville and she basically told me to grow up and out of this "phase" I am in. What the fuck!? Hate to break it to her but I'm not going anywhere. I am freakin' 25, have a college degree and I support myself (they live in IN and I am in FL!!) so I think I am quite old enough to make my own decisions...don't you think??? Just shows you that parents just don't get it no matter what age you are. Sorry, went off on a tangent there.

Ashley, what's your stinkin' email? I got a message sent back to me. Let me know!

WELL, LATER GUYS!!! SEE YOU IN 2 DAYS!

MUCH LOVE, JENNI C

PS, Hey Sean, I got Chuck in another pic of us...quite funny. I am going to have as many pics of him as I do you guys:)

Posted by: Jenni C on April 29, 2004 11:35 PM

I forgot to say AWESOME about the new video...what cool guys to do that for you! I ABSOLUTELY love you guys live...obviously, I have seen you guys like 6 times already (keep going to shows Selma and you'll catch up) so that is great. You guys are freakin' amazing in concert so can't wait till that is released!
Much love, Jenni C

Posted by: Jenni C on April 29, 2004 11:43 PM

Glad you got to find Failures first record...Steriogram is AWESOME. i love them, Jareds funny oh yeah, Ryan, its not spelt Jarrid, its Jared,haha. A lil birdie told me that you guys are gonna be heading out on tour with them over the summer, that would be GREAT, but remember, you gotta bring Fractional along. ah i can see it now. Smile Empty Soul, Steriogram, and Fractional...that tour would kick ass. ok heres my joke of the day: Yo Baby, you be my Dairy Queen, I'll be your Burger King, you treat me right, and I'll do it your way. hahaha. thats great that you got to meet Whitney, she had a great time. hahaha, you will be meeting a couple of my other friends too, they are gonna be going to some of the shows, and of course, i always tell them to say hi to you guys for me, hehe. omg guess what Derek?? you know how i said that my mom said i have to lose 20-30 pounds in order for me to go to the may 21st show? well, i have only lost 10 pounds, but my mom said that if i go with her to this Bollywood Concert this sunday, then i can go see you guys! but she said she will only let me go if she is with me. i dont want to go with my mom though, i hope my cousin or my aunt can go with me. oh and Aphasia is also gonna be at that show, cant wait to see them live too. well have a nice day off you guys, try not to eat to much BBQ, haha.

HEY ALL! DEREK, SEAN, RYAN AND THE SES CREW/POSTers? IS THERE A NAME FOR US? DO WE HAVE ONE, IF NOT CAN WE MAKE ONE, LOL! THE _____ 's. ANYWAYS, GLAD TO HEAR THE GUYS HAD A DAY OFF AND HAD FUN. I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THEM LIVE AGAIN, ITS IRKING ME THIS WAITING PROCESS. YOU KNOW WHAT, I HAVE FOUND THAT WHEN I WORK OUT, I PLAY THE ENTIRE SES ALBUM AND ITS ROUGHLY 53 MIN. AND THEN I KNOW TO STOP. I WORK OUT ABOUT AN HOUR TO AN HOUR AND A HALF OR MORE EACH DAY, TUES. DAY OFF, LOL. DUNNO WHY I POSTED THAT, BUT I LIKE WORKING OUT TO SES MUSIC. THE HARDER SONGS MAKE ME PUSH HARDER AND THE SOFTER ONES COOL ME DOWN. TRY IT KIDS. ANYHOO, I THOUGHT THAT I MIGHT TYPE THIS JOKE IN HERE, I THOUGHT IT WAS FUNNY...

There were three people in a crashing plane: Bill Gates, the Dalai Lama and a little girl. Bill Gates rose and said, " I am the world's smartest man. The world needs smart men. I think the world's smartest man should have parachute, too." He grabbed one, and out he jumped. The Dalai Lama and the little girl looked at one another. The Dalai Lama says, "Little girl, I have lived a satisfying life and have known the bliss of True Enlightenment. You have your whole life ahead of you, you take the last parachute, and I will go down with the plane." And the little girl replies, "Don't worry, we can both have one, the smartest man in the world just jumped out with my backpack."

HAHAHAHA!

OK YA'LL, LOVE YA. PEACE. LOVE SES! KEEP RAWKIN!

Hey guys! Glad you're getting days off and posting on here a lot. It's way cool to read about your experiences and stuff. You seem to genuinely care about your fans. That rocks! :)

Derek, here's a joke for ya that you can use if ya want. I love cheese so, of course, this is one of my favorites: What do you call cheese that isn't yours? NACHO cheese. (say it outloud and you'll get it) haha... It's corny, I know.

Ryan, you cracked me up with the "makes you feel slightly retarded" remark. haha. Hopefully you'll be feeling smart again soon.

today in history class, my teacher was talking about the Holocaust because thats what we are studying. She was saying that during the Holocaust, Hitler used his totalitarian authority to kill 6 million Jewish people because he said the are "enemy of the State" well after September 11th, Pres. Bush took like a ton of Arab people and sent them to Cuba because he thought that they were connected to Osama bin Laden. Well he released the other guys but he kept 2 guys and they are STILL in Cuba, in windowless cells. Bush did that coz the said that they are"Enemies of the State". My teacher said that the Supreme Court is meeting about it because its a violation of the due process of law. yeah, i thought that that was very interesting.

whats up you guys are so bad ass and i was looking through some music today and i got the song rain that you use to play and personally i think its one of the best songs there is even though the other 14 are quite hard to top just thought id let you know lots of people like it that i told them to listen to it and maybe you could consider it for a second album or something well have fun touring later///

Posted by: matt on April 30, 2004 02:37 AM

Derek!!! You made my day SO much better; THANK YOU! And I just realized that you've given me about three or four shout outs now... That's some CRAZY STUFF but thanks a whole ton! Every one of 'em means a lot to me ( even when you told me to keep my entries positive HAHA ). I love you. :P

Anywho, He-Man and the Masters of the Universe is UBER AWESOME! Have you ever seen the movie they made of it?? It's a little weird, but definitly cool! And Transformers is okay, but I've always been a bigger fan of Beast Wars. Did you ever watch that? It was basically the same, but besides having the Autobots and Decepticons, they had the Maximals and Predacons who could transform into animals ( besides vehicles ). I just totally loved it when I was little ( probably because I'm an animal lover ) but now I don't see it on TV anymore... Huh, how sad, 'eh?

Oh, and sadly enough, I've never heard of Voltron! Though, I am only 14 and probably not old enough to have heard of or seen A LOT of '80s cartoons. :P


Well, I've been voting for Silhouettes everyday! Oh, and speaking of which, YOU CAN NOT SPELL IT! Hahaha, you dork!! You NEVER spell it right. :P Hehehe, and I can't wait to see the new video! That's uber cool...

Hmm, so Derek GUESS WHAT? My best friend, Dee, and I are mad at you guys because back in January when you came to the Blue Note ( in Columbia, Missouri ), you three had to go somewhere after your performance so we never got to meet you or get your autographs!! AND! That's not all! There's a concert May 9th that I was plannin' on goin' to so I COULD meet you guys ( and give you my drawings ) BUT as you probably know from my unpositive post ( HAHA ), the tickets are sold out. :(

AND YOU KNOW WHAT? We got Puddle of Mudd's autographs at that concert in January, and we didn't even really know who they were! Yeah, we were there all for YOU! But you guys had to go and be all stupid and leave early... HAHAHA okay yeah, you're not stupid. :P We're just dissapointed, that's all...


OH WOW I'm sorry, I've posted lots! Well, I hope you guys keep havin' fun on tour! I LOVE YOU. Hehe, BYE!

hey guys. i love all of you. one day i shall see you live. ya'll need to come back to texas soon. i've voted several times on MTV.com. so yay for me. anyway i just got out of the shower where i cut my leg and now am bleeding profusly. hopefully i won't bleed to death. i have a question for you guys: i know Sean has tatoos but i don't know about derek or ryan. do either of you have tattoos or anything and if so, where? Much love to the SES

that is interesting michele. remember that in times of war our rights are often weighed against national security . . . that's why the patriot act was allowed to pass, etc. makes you think, huh?

Derek and Ryan how yall not gon say anything about me and Weedy(Kayla) and Carmin and Britney in yall's Journal!!..the gurls yall talked to at Mrytle Beach after the concert and yall picked on the way we talked ...Thats messed up haha See ya later haha

Posted by: Katelyn on April 30, 2004 03:49 AM

man ok this is weird... my brothers bday was the other day (also sadam's bday) and my bday is also the pres. bday and i just thought that was weird... but how are ya? i cant go to may day now... which sucks cause yeah i miss you guys here in indy, i love sean well dont love him but i think hes so pretty lol i love your guys's music more *no offense to sean or anything* well im having issues right now so ima go try and figure s* out and cry some more... read my poem and comment please... i need credibility cause my "friends" are sick of reading my s*... here it is...

(Not Titled)
i never asked for all this pain
from it i guess i will gain
but still im left here hurt
lying face down in the dirt

i should have seen it coming
inside this pain it is numbing
cant let all this anger out
no one knows what im about

soon it will break me apart
lonelyness tears at my heart
hopefully it will leave me be
all i want is to be set free

peace of mind is all i need
but these wounds still bleed
scars remind me of my past
and all of the pain that will last

so when i try to free my mind
my heart is always left behind
so i will end it all on this night
soon ill see, ill give up this fight


enjoy!!! much love homies... ~Me.

Well, I know this is supposed to be a comment of what you said, but I have my own damn comment!OK Everyone! I've decided that I pretty much hate the human race and why not? F**k those people! They usually piss me off anyway. And another thing, I'm sick of being treated like s**t. I was driving the other day and I was in a trailer home place (long story how I got lost there) where a bunch of f**king shitty a$$ white trash bitches live. Well, I went the wrong way so I turned around, and as I did and I accidently put the tire of my car on someone*s trailer home grass (there's no curb or street ending, how was I supposed to see I was on a few pieces of grass), and it just so happend that the person was there and as I pulled away the man yelled at me, *Stay off the grass you bitch!* what the f**k man? It's not like I didn't try to apologize! What a f**king a$$hole! F**k you, you f**king redneck white trash bitch! So sorry for putting my tire on your trailer house grass! F**k that s**t! I feel f**king sick right now, I'm gonna die! F**k if I care....... ........ ........ ......... OK! OK! I'm much better now. lol. I just had to get that off my chest.

I saw at the ending credits that you were called Smile Empty Soul. I heard u guys on the radio a little while later and i was hooked ever since. Well gettin back on topic lol, i would like you guys to tell steriogram if you see them that they are sooooooo awesome and you guys should play a show together that would be one good show. well i have to go im going to the town fair! keep it reel

Hey Guys. When I first heard Bottom of a Bottle I felt something weird. It was like this could be something. After doing a little info search on you, I got interested after watching the 3 music videos and went out and bought your cd. yeah, and your music really means something to me and my step sister Tawnya. We are starting a band and are hopefully gonna make it big. Maybe even to the point where we can meet you. Yeah, and your song This Is War is helping us. Our friend Alan was sent over seas for the war and so we listen to that song to remember him. (sorry this is so long) Then all the other songs have hepled us more then enough times. We have major family problems, and instead of doing stupid crap like killing ourselves or OD on messed up junk, we listen and are relieved and are able to continue. Yeah, I hope you're enjoying the star life, less then a year and you go from a van to a bus. I would like to say congrats to you all.

Side note: Derek, great jokes. Stupid but great. Tawnya (aka Cherry Poptart) wanted to say that derek, you're "mad sexy", I dunno what the exact meaning of that is. I liked to say Ryan, you're awsome! Your dreads rock! And sean... you are the greatest to me. you've done more then I can say. All of you rock, and I hope all of you, as a single person, are doing ok. like no overstressing or crap like that. Thank you guys, Ryan, Derek, and Sean. Have a great time out there.

Laterz to you,
Hannah

Posted by: Hannah on May 1, 2004 02:49 AM

mmmmmmmmm you guys are mad sexy. oh and Hannah apologizes for the really long comment. were kind of out of it, considering we got 2 hours of sleep! yes! its a record! the most sleep all week! yeah were going to meet you guys, just look out for 2 chix and most likely a guy drummer, wandering around aimlessly in Spokane, WA. i dress a little eye catching. cant miss me. later lemonheads!
Cherry POPtart

Posted by: Cherry POPtart on May 1, 2004 02:55 AM

hey guys when i said mad sexy, i meant derek is very mad sexy, ryans awesome, and im not allowed to say anything about sean cuz hannah will be mad (but gotta hand it to you, you keep yourself hot)

HEY IT'S HANNAH. TAWNYA THINKS I'LL BE MAD, BUT I WON'T. SEAN, YOU'RE GREAT, LIKE I SAID EARLIER IN A POST 2 UP. WE'RE OUT OF IT. COME TO SPOKANE, WA. YEAH, MAYBE TO CHENEY, DOWN ANDRUS RD. HEHEHE. LOVE TO THE LEMONHEADS

we absolutely have no life at all, as you can see. later lemonheads, see ya on the flip side!

Posted by: Olivia on May 1, 2004 03:37 AM

i was just told these jokes haha they are funny..but stupid lol here they are:
Why was the Tomato blushing? Because he saw the salad dressing.

What's the difference between mashed potatoes and pea soup? Anyone can mash potatoes! But no one can pea soup.

What's brown and sounds like a bell? Dung

What is the last thing that goes through a bug's mind as it hits a windshield? His butt

hahaha sorry easily amused! :))))

HEY GUYS! I just got back from Beale Music Fest. I'm so frustrated right now that I'm close to crying. I got there really late (my plans get screwed up) and I only got to hear 1 song. I was so pissed. I hung out by the gates for a little while because I couldn't get through the crowd that showed up for Trapt. Now I'm in trouble with my parents, damnit, I gotta go. Love you guys, bye.

HEY.

Who's your all time favorite band? I was just thinking today, you guys are coming close to being my favorite current band.. I hope that 10 years from now I can look back and still say, hell yeah SES still owns me. Right up there with The Velvet Underground, you know? So yeah, what do you listen to?

Oh yeah.. your show at Rafters in TN. Not looking good. I don't think i'm smooth enough to find tickets this time. I really wanted to see you guys, I bet your stage presence is amazing. Too bad you can't hook all your unlucky fans up =]

Posted by: Nicole W on May 1, 2004 05:19 AM

Now, HOW COME YOU GET TO SEE HOTT BABES AND I DON'T? Maybe it's because I aint a Babe! Gotta count on my Whores to hook me up! I'm sure they could hook y'all up! You just gotta like..come over Herre and like...PLAY? Or...Just...like...CHILL. It's Mad Cool herre in NH and I guess...MA TOOO!!!

I'm sorry, I can't be one of the Babes available for the Hook-up, I'm Not a Babe...just a Hideous PHUREAK, person who Plays DDR(Dance Dance Revolution) and looks at cheap ass PoRn...

Well...Enjoy yourself!

Hello people that read these journals! well i got some new news for you guys. i went to the Steriogram site right now (www.SterioGram.com) and they got some new stuff that has to do with SES. if you go to the NEWS section of Steriogram's site, you can read a message from Brad, the guitarist. i am not gonna post the whole message coz it doesnt have to do with SES, but this part does: We are looking forward to the Smile Empty Soul tour that starts on May 30th and goes through till our warped tour shows in July that are up around the north west and Canada.

and then if you go to the GIGGUIDE section of their site, they have 2 dates with SES, i am sure theres gonna be many more, but thats all they have for now. here they are:
+Rockford IL - Davis Park - May 30, 2004
with Cold, Smile Empty Soul, Crossfade, Heavels
+Milwaukee WI - Rock Stage - Summerfest - June 28, 2004
with Drowning Pool, Smile Empty Soul

ok i will end this post with my joke of the day: Which day of the week do chickens hate most? Fry-day. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

hey guys,
why does when one part of your life seem to be going good the rest of everything goes to shit. ijust had the worst week of my young life. first off on monday i found out that my boyfriend had another girl over last weekend the same night that i wasn't allowed to come over bcuz my dad wont let me date....sting....i buyed all of his story too because i love him and i honestly think he's a straight up guy but god that just tore me up, ya know. and then on wednesday in gym these stuck up preppys or whatever you call them i prefer stupidpeople, decided to start shit with me and teased me and my friends about being bisexual (which we are not) and then they decided to tease me about my history of anorexia and how fat i am now which is low. they wouldn't stop and my friend got so pissed off that she told one of the girls she was going to slit her throat, they laughed and continued to call her psycho then they threatened to kill me and i was like i'll be too busy eating...anyways they told the "resoponsible authorities" about what my friend said and i told them what they said to me and guess who is in trouble? my friend and not them. gosh ppl make me mad. and now she is up for expulsion. and it gets better. friday night i had a dance performance and our dance got cut off to 5 eight counts because the band stopped playing because someone cut off the track and my boyfriend was playing bass. great. and my dad got mad at me and he is now on a cruise on the ocean somewhere.....grrr...wow i talk too much i just had to let loose somewhere ya know. sorry guys. but the one thing that really helped me through this week was your cd. you guys kick ass. have fun and i will have even more fun voting for you about a hundred more times. but you guys have to promise not to sell out, or never come back to charleston because you'll be like all big and famous...lol...well g2g.
love all of ya'll

Okay lovelies, this has nothing to do with this journal entry, but I had to get it off my head..

I saw you guys in Orlando and in Jacksonville (Florida) and I know you guys saw some other cities, but you missed the best one! Gainesville, Florida is the absolute best city in Florida; i've lived in Flroida all my life, and I've been all over.. and I just think that if you can, whenever you go on tour again (in this part of the country) you guys should play in Gainesville. The Rolling Stones, The Plasmatics, The Grabass Charlestons, and a lot of other good bands have played there, and now it's your turn!

Posted by: Autumn on May 2, 2004 10:22 PM

http://www.realrock1011.com/photos/edbd11/smileemptysoul/index.html
love the pix, they are really good. Derek, nice tan, but im not lovin the little playboy bunny belt buckle, hahaha, i guess its like a pet peeve or something coz i get so annoyed when people wear the playboy stuff coz i dont like what it stands for.

ok my joke of the day: Why do chicken coops have two doors? If they had four doors, they'd be chicken sedans!

***********SEAN, DEREK AND RYAN***************
***********************************************

HEY GUYS!!!! How are you guys doing? Well, I just got back from my road trip to ATL to see you guys. I must say it was worth the 15hour (total for both ways) drive I made. Worth every minute and every mile!!! HEY SEAN Thanks for saying Hi to me on stage...that was so cool! The people around me were like "Holy shit he knows your name??" That was awesome and I got one of your pics...the security guy gave it to me b/c when you threw it it didn't make it to the audience. I was talking to some people around me before you guys got on stage and they were like "oh these guys are the guys w/that 'i do it for the drugs song'" but by the time you guys were done you guys had definitely gained a bunch of new fans. Everyone I talked to said you guys were awesome...I am so pumped for you guys!!! Definitely get good exposure at big shows like that! Great job!!! I must say it was a fuckin' KILLER set! Did you guys get to check out anyone else's sets? Chris Robinson was awesome and Foo Fighers were sic!
OK, so tell Chuck I am kicking his ass! I waited outside of will call for like an hour and a half waiting for my tix but I was afraid I would miss you guys so I went ahead a bought a ticket. But he did call way later that night and leave me a message that he got it there late. Please tell him I appreciate his efforts. As I figure it that money goes to support you guys and that is why I go to your shows is to support you guys anyways so no big deal.
I HAVE A QUESTION...I have seen you guys 7x's now and I have never heard you play Radio in a Hole or All my Problems...why? Well, when you guys headline (hopefully soon!) maybe you could play them? Well, I just realized this is pretty long so I will talk w/you guys later!
MUCH LOVE, MUCH LOVE, MUCH LOVE

Posted by: Hannah on May 3, 2004 02:47 PM

Hey guys,I don't know if you will even read this but I had to try.First off I want to say I love your band and all of your songs have amazing lyrics.I've seen you guys twice in concert,and last night was the best.I was in the center of the second row at the Nashville River Stages show.I was so upset though because I couldn't get out of the crowd to get your autographs.At one point in the show I swear I thought I saw Sean smile at me,which was awesome.I adore Sean.He's gorgeous and he has an amazing voice.Whenever you guys headline your tour I will definitely be there.Anyways,I've been voting for the "Silhouettes" video on mtv.com and I can't wait to see the new video.I signed up to be on your mailing list last night.I have to go now,but I love you guys.You all rock!!

Posted by: Melissa on May 3, 2004 04:58 PM

Hey guys,
I'm in school and it's boring as hell!!!
It's nice that steriogram did the video for "every sunday"!
I agree with Jenni C (that was cool how sean said your name!!!), I love "All my Problems" and you guys should play it sometimes!! (my fave part: Stop coming around coz u bother me, stupid mother fucker pull your head out ur ass and see, what don't you get was i studdering, i don't need to take your shit, get away from me) and who ever made that anarchy sign for "all" on the cd fucking rocks!!!
Anyways, last week i wore my SES shirt to school and i heard some guy say, "Smile Empty Soul is the best fuckin' band" and that made me happy, i was like "HELL YA"!!!!!!!!!!!!!
**why are ya'll complaining about Prince only showing up for a second, who gives a shit about him, especially when we had smile there!!!!**
I think the bell is about to ring for 4th block (AP BIO--:( my ap exam is on monday, AAAHHH!!) so i guess i have to go to my locker!!!!!!!!!
BYEEEEEEEEEE GUYZZZZZZZZZZZ

Hey guys!! It has been so long since I've been in here that I am totaly lost...Oh well. No matter how long I stay away I am always come back. I LOVE you guys sooo much. I am finally going to see you again tomorrow night!!! I am so excited!! Can't you tell!?!! I think I've been going through Smile Empty Soul withdrawls, hey I have the CD but it's not exactly the same as live. I have gone through a lot to be able to see this you guys again. I missed you when you came with Puddle of Mudd because you didn't come to the Norva and with all my efforts I couldn't make it to Richmond....oh but this time....hehehe....there is no stopping me. Let's put it this way I had two exams schedualed for tomorrow night during the time of the show, my friend who I always go with baled on me, plus a few other snags. Well I worked out the exams I only have to take one a bit early and rush to the Norva. Now this should tell you how much I love seeing you guys...I'm going to the concert with my Ex who I haven't seen in 5 years and our break up wasn't the best. Well now you see how your music can bring people together...even if all it will ever be is just friends. So please guys stay happy, healthy, and rock the place off it's foundation! (Personaly I don't think you'll have any problems.)

Continue to Rock...Continue to Smile ;-)

you guys rocked in memphis, it was soooo awsome, you have to come back here when you get the chance too, I saw you in Memphis Friday night, it was amazing, its the third time I see you guys, keep on coming, Derek that was luck that I saw you when I was leaving, its awsome that you guys can still walk with everybody and not many ppl noticing you, anyways that pic with you is cool, now I have you and Sean with me, I just need a pic of Ryan and me now, next time will do it....keep rocking guys

HEY SEAN...Just wanted to tell you that I registered to vote the other day so I can give my own FUCK YOU to BUSH!!!!

Michelle from Ranch Cucamonga...thanks for the commment about my tat...I acutally got that sweatshirt at one of the shows. I have been trying to get a sweatshirt of SES for ever but they always have HUGE sizes (guys, think of us little girls) but they had one left on the wall that was a little kids size so I bought it. FINALLY!!! I love it! I also got a hat at the ATL show and love it too, now you guys will have to sign it:)

MUCH LOVE SES, JENNI C

well i just got back from the hotel by the LAX airport. last night was a bollywood concert. we went to the hotel at 10 pm and left at 2.35am. we were bummed out coz we only got to see 2 of the 7 actors there. i got my pic taken with one of them too. but we went back to the hotel this morning. we left my house at 9 and coz of all the LA traffic, we got there at 11. we got to meet and take pix with 4 more actors. most of them were pretty nice, but one of the actors was sooo stuck up! so yeah we all had a great time, i got to aee 6 out of 7 and meet 5 out of 7. and i think i FINALLY convinced my mom and aunt to go with me to the May 21st show!!

selma, i agree, that part in all my problems is like my fave! that would be cool if those lines were on a shirt, i would want one, but my parents and school would make me take it off, lol. another quote thig that i like is this:"Opinions are like assholes. Everyones got one and it stinks!" i would love to have a shirt that said that. Meghan Wilson, i dunno any sites that have bios on derek but his middle name is Devin, i dunno if thats the correct spelling, but in the newest interview ont his site, the guy asked the guys what their middle names were and Derek said that his is Devin. hope that helps. OH AND CONGRATS ON WINNING VIEWERS PICK!!
