It was the best day of my life!! It was the AP concert at the House Of Blues in Dallas. After waiting in line for like ever, we got in and he was the first to play. The crowd was wild and he was so full of energy. I was so excited. After he finished playing I was hoping I would get to meet him but I wasn't sure how. Some guy passing out the Rockstar Energy Drinks said he sometimes come and hangs out, so I waited to see if he was going to. At first I didn't see him, my boyfriend did and he was like "Hey is that Sonny?", and I looked and it was. So I kind of chased after him and I taped his sholder and asked him if I could have a hug. He said "Yea sure!" It was the best hug ever!! After that I told him I like loved him and he said "Thank you." I also asked if he could sign the blue envolpe the the CD came in but he didn't have a marker. So he told me to wait so he could find one. There were other people trying to talk to him but he told them to wait so he could find a marker. It kind of made me feel special for a moment. He came right back and signed it. I gave him another hug. He said that the drawing on the envolpe was his favorite one of all, I felt so lucky. So when he was done iIgave him one last hug. I also got to meet Chris Null, Sean Friday and Aaron Rothe, and I got them to sign the envolpe and huged them all too. It was so fun. I could have died happy.

The day of the concert was'nt the best day. My friend Amy, Jen, and I all got to the concert, it was packed but way great! In the middle of the show I saw the my cell was vibrating, it was my grandpa saying that my parents got in an accident and both weren't doing well at all. I was shocked and sad. I just started crying and ran out into the parking lot, by then the show was done but I couldn't care. Fans were coming out to see Sonny. I just kept thinking did my parents just die? I sat on the curb crying my eyes out when a guy came and sat down next to me. He hugged me and said "Tell me what happened." I looked up and it was Sonny! All I can say is thank you Sonny for being there for me, unlike my freinds who ditched me to meet you. You didn't know me but you comforted me anyway. He let me stay with him on the tour bus until my grandparents came to get me and tell me the bad news. Before that he and I just talked about everything. He said "It's okay to cry" and that I "would get through this." Then he gave me his e-mail (his personal one) and said, "If you ever wanna talk, please e-mail me!" Sonny is a great guy, so nice. He really helped me through that hard day and I can't thank him enough. Today we still talk on and off. He's my hero and idol, and I thank him for it!

Are you ready for this? Get your reading glasses on. So the doors we're
opening at 6, and I got there 10 minutes after 3. I was so very pumped for this.
Hours later, we go inside. I head straight for the AP booth to meet him, he was
a little late, but it was worth the wait. Then out of nowhere, he came walking
right past me, it was too short of notice for me to like say something at
that moment , so out of the blue I grabbed his arm. Anyways, when I walked up to
him I got my picture signed and I asked for a high five and he like went off on
the handshake mixture with a thumb war kinda thing. Then I walked away to see
him live, (amazing, by the way) as soon as he left the stage I knew right where
to go. I headed out of the club and went right for the outside back doors. Maybe
5 minutes later he comes out for a cigarette. I scream his name and walk up to
him. He went off on the speech to me about how smoking kills and then he went on with how you can never ever give up because you wont know how far you really can go. Then we walked over to his bus, I got some pictures and we just talked about things, like how he needed to leave FFTL for himself, not for fame. He was so so nice and he was hugging me honestly like ever 5 minutes and he was always saying how he's so happy that he had fans that knew all his songs (because i told him I did.) so I have to say it was the most amazing experience of my life, ever.

I've met Sonny twice, but the first time was very brief and about two years ago. This time however, was much more eventful. My friend Jess and I had just got our tickets for the Toronto AP Tour they day before. We didnt like any of the other bands, we were only going for Sonny. We got there pretty early in hopes to catch a glimpse of him before the show started. Just out luck, we got in line right next to the area where all the trailers and buses were parked. We saw Aaron Rothe and some of the guys unloading stuff from the van, so we figured it was Sonnys. Then out of nowhere, Sonny was behind me carrying a keyboard. I could tell he was busy so all I did was say Hi Sonny! and waved. He gave me a huge smiled and said hi! back and waved to me, then he left. Afterwards I saw him come out a couple more times to unload more stuff and have a few cigarettes, then it was time to go inside! On the way in, security opened my bag and took out my camera. They refused to let me bring it in because it was a professional SLR. I had to let them take away my battery, which I was super bummed about. But my spirits lifted when Jess pointed out a sign that told us sonny would be doing a signing after his set. We went over to check out where the signing would be, and bought some of Sonnys merch while we were there. Then we went back to the stage and watched FTSK play, and then it was time for Sonny. I managed to squeeze my way to the front, assuring all the Rocket Summer fans that I would be leaving after this set if they could just let me through. Then it began, and it was the most wonderful live performance I have ever seen. He gave off so much energy and did an amazing job. I sang along, danced, and had the most incredible time of my life. Once he had left the stage, Jess and I ran over to where his signing was. He walked by giving us all high fives while he walked over to his booth, and the signing began. It was a very fast process, but I made it last as long as I could. When it was finally our turn, we got him to
sign the shirts we just bought, which read Sonny <3 to Kerri. I told him about how the venue took my batteries away, and he felt really bad about it. He said if we waited outside by his van that hed come meet us later for pictures. We thanked him, he thanked, he gave us hugs, then we raced outside. I got my batteries back from the bouncer who took them and I loaded my camera, then we waited. Sure enough, about half an hour later, there he was! He rushed over and gave us more hugs, and said that we could take pictures now. I took a few with him because I wanted to get at least one good shot, He kept making me show them too him after, and hed say, we look so beautiful! I took pictures of him with Jess as well, then we just chatted for a bit. I commented on his necklace, Soras crown, from my favourite video game Kingdom Hearts. I happened to be wearing a necklace from the same game. He told me that he loved my necklace too, and that he had one just like it. I told him his music inspires me, and he said that we are what inspires him. Then he told us he had to go out and meet someone, so it was time for our goodbyes. He gave us great big hugs for the third time, and told us that he loved us and that we are beautiful. It was an amazing experience to meet such a down-to-earth guy whos so nice too his fans. Probably one of the best days of my life, thanks Sonny!

It's nothing speal or exciting, but it still meant a lot to me. I went up after he played to get my ticket signed. He asked me how I was, talked about how sweaty HE was, signed one of the free posters he was giving out and gave it to me. I had also seen him outside earlier, he was reall nice, saying hello to everyone and talking to people as much as he could.

I've met sonny twice,
he is the nicest guy ever. The first time he was walking out of the Early Team Sleep Show, I gave him a present and told him I didn't have tickets to his show but I wanted to give him this.
Then he went backstage and about 5 minutes later came out to personally thank me for the present (I gave him a live Bjork cd/dvd thing)
and he loved it and was like "Hold on I want to get you tickets"
after about 3 phone calls he couldent get them, he was sorry but I said it was okay.
The second time I met him he remembered me, he even noticed I dyed my hair, and we talked for a long time and took pictures and he signed some stuff, I also took videos and stuff of him and Sean.
He is the best to his fans and I really appreciate it :]

I was at the show in San Diego, California "Soma". I was so amped for
Sonny to come out and perform. Finally he came out and did his thing. It was
amazing how much energy and passion goes into his performances!!!!!!! He even
came out into the crowd and I touched his chest!!!!!!! lol Like ten minutes
after his performance I went out into the lobby to wait for him. At first I only
saw Sean and Chris. I took some pics with them and asked were Sonny was. They
pointed to a swarm of people , and there he was!!! He was the shortest most
cutest thing ever. I said "Hi." and got some things signed and got loads of
incredible hugs. Then I gave him the "BELLS" bracelet I made for him and
necklace. He absolutly loved them both. I was so happy that was the greatest
moment for me. = D

I met Sonny on April 17th at the Ap Tour in Atlanta. At first he was
doing a signing in the beginning of the show so I waited in line for that. When
I saw him walking toward the table I freaked. When it finally got to my turn I
smiled really big and gave him a bracelet I made him that says "Skrillex". I
told him that he's done so much for me and he's my hero and it's just a small
token of my appreciation. He put the bracelet on and said, "aww, you're my hero
too :]". Then I smiled and gave him a hug.
His set was amazing.
After the show I saw Sean Friday and gave him a bracelet that said "Friday". He
told me I was seet and then hugged me then I told him how much Sonny and the
band mean to me and have helped and inspired me so much. He just kept telling me
how nice I was then hugged me again. Then he told me that the rest of the guys
should be in the back of the venue. So I went around the back of the venue until
i saw a white van. Inside the van I saw something with blonde roots and long
black hair. It was Sonny! And Aaron was in the back. I stared at him in the
window and then Sonny and Aaron came out and walked over to me. I stared at
Sonny in awe snd told him it was so amazing to be standing there meeting him.
Then I gave Aaron a bracelet that said "Do the dew" for his love of mountain dew
and he thought it was awesome. He hugged me and then I told the guys that they
were the only people in the world who have ever inspired me to such a level and
they were the only people I could ever call my heroes. They smiled and told me I
was nice and thanked me. Then I told them how during their set these guys who
were booing Sonny kept on hitting me and knocking me over for cheering for them.
Aaron looked at me with a sad face and was like "aww, are you ok?" Then Sonny
told me that there were always assholes like that and I shouldn't let them get
to me. Then I showed him how nasty my poster got that he signed and he reached
over to get it and i yelled "NO IT'S BEEN IN MY PANTS!" Then we all started
laughing. We talked for a little biit more and he told me I should be happy
about my poster getting ruined because then i could remember the experience. The
were really nice and then we just talked for a little bit more then they gave us
all hugs and we had to go. Sonny's hair smells amazing, for the recors. i told
him that and he was like "THANK YOU :D".
Nicest guys ever. I didn't see Chris but I made him a bracelet that said "Null
And Void" and Aaron said he would give it to him. I met my heroes and it was te
best night ever.

I was waiting in line with my friend on April 5th in Toronto, extremely
anxious for the show. I'd been waiting forever, not only for that day, to see
Sonny live. So, when I saw a white van with a trailer attatched to it pass us, I
turned to my friend, smiling and said, "I bet you Sonny could do that, tour
around in a van." While I watched the van, it unexpectedly did a 'U' turn and
stopped at the curb, and all I saw was Sonny's head pop into sight of the
passenger's side window, and then the van parked across the street from the
venue. So, other girls and I went across the street to say hi to him, which he
was being incredibly nice to all of us. Then, Langley [a friend of mine] and
this cocky kid got into a fight, so a couple of girls and I ran over, including
Sonny, Sean, Aaron, Chris, Joe and Joe, and they stopped the fight. The cocky
kid had to get his lip melted together from the force of Langley's hits, but he
was fine. So, we left them to get ready for soundcheck, and once we were let in,
my friend and I went straight for the front and I sung my lungs out along with
him, hah. After he performed, my friend and I squeezed out from the barricade
and went to see him at his signing booth. So, I waited in line, and when I
finally got up to him, I said hi and stuff, and he was so sweet! He looked
absolutely adorable. I told him how amazing I thought he was, and he said how
much it meant to him, and when I told him my name, he said I had a beautiful
name, and then introduced himself properly, even though he knew I already knew
who he was, haha. So, we didn't really say much after that, just kept staring at
each other, until I got tapped by the security guard and I asked Sonny if he'd
be outside. He said he would and that we should go and hang out with him, so I
said my goodbye to him and watched the rest of the bands perform after I bought
a shirt. All in all, it was the best and most fun day of my life. :]

I was at the AP tour in Toronto on April 5 and Sonny was the first to perform. My friend and I pushed abunch of people and got way up to the front on the side. Sonny was in mid performance during a song when he got off stage and started to walk directly to where I was standing. I thought he was gonna do the whole touchy hand thing with us, the crowd, But instead he walked right into us all. I (kinda embarrasing) jumped onto him like hugging and he was walking away to get onto a table but like dragging me because I wouldnt let go. I think someone pulled me off of him or something but yeah he got away. At the end of his performance he said he would be signing autographs at the AP Tour booth in 10 mins. Me and my friend rushed over there and there was a line up alreay so we kinda butted people but they didnt mind. Turns out if you were passed a certian line you couldnt get to meet him. The people who were working for the tour told us we could take pictures of or with Sonny. So we waited in line and out came two bodyguards (guys you would'nt want to mess with) with him. He said "Hi Toronto!" and he threw his towel at us. Me and my friend grabbed the towel but so did two other girls. We ended up ripping the towel with some keys. I got a piece! So he signed an autograph for me and I told him how much of an inspiration he is to me, and how his music amazes me and he told me "Thank you. I love you". and some more. But I will never forget that. Afterwards I went to buy a Sonny shirt and got some sneaky photos of him signing stuff! XD

I met sonny in Austin Tx after the South By Southwest show! He is so down to earth and badass. Lots of people talk crap about him leaving From First To Last but I'm glad he did. Sonny your solo carrer kicks ass! I can't wait until you get in the studio and make a CD. And thanks for talking to us and interacting with us, I was stoked. Take care man and good luck!!!!!!
|
I had just finished getting autographs from All Time Low when it happened. I felt someones wind as they hurried past me, I glanced back and as I did I saw this person turn around. My Jaw Dropped instantly! He walked past me going the way he came, one of my arms reached out towads him but he missed it and continued walking. Then he walked past me again, during this noone is even noticing him! I turn to my friend shocked and say "Was that sonny moore?" and I point in the directioin his body was moving away from. Without wating for a response I said i'm going to follow him!
and so I did untill he went out the doors of the venue. I went back to where my friend was and she's like that WAS Sonny! I here his band trying to get peoples attention but noone is really paying attention. I jump intront of them and say "Hi!", they return the greeting. I asked where Sonny moore went they said to look for a pen or marker.
and so I talk to his band mates and Sonny returns, just walks up and started talking to one of his band members. I turn to him in aw and say "Hi Sonny!", he smiles and we chated, untill a fan asked me to take a picture of him and Sonny and his band. I did and the lighting was weird so I asked Sonny if he'd go more into the light he agreed happily and went!! SONNY MOORE FOLLOWED MY INSTRUCTIONS!!!! So then he signs some things and i'm still talking to him and we laugh together the whole thing is like a dream! Like when I met fieldy of korn, I don't remember the dialouge but I remember the laughs and the smiles... So then I want Sonny to sign something but I have nothing for him to sign! I search my pockets and I find my BurgerKing recipt from earlier that day, So I hand it over. He gently smoothes it out and places his gourgous signiture on it. I tell him that his is prettier than anyone of All Time Lows, he says "yeah, but theirs are nice too." I smile.
and my friend calls me because ATL is leaving their table and I wanted to talk more with Ryan. So we chase Ryan and Jack while they act like little kids running and laughing through the venue. I stop chasing them and go to Alex (of ATL) and poke his arm, he looks at me and I say "I'm sorry, I had to touch you", he shakes my hand and pounds it. I back up to let some people through and guess who I bump into?!!! Sonny again!! He was signing an autograph. He looked at me and I said "I'm sorry I keep bumping into like this" and he said (direct qoute) "It's okay, I like it", and he shakes my hand and then he slaps it, really really hard! My hand was tingling for so long after that!
I leave him, and not before long I see him through the curtains that lead to backstage.
2 bands play and it's Sonny's turn. He sings and then he says "I want to try something. I want you guys to make a big circle, alright now chill out, I'm coming down there.", and I'm right at the edge of the circle waiting for Sonny to find his way to it. I feel someone's hand on my shoulder, then I see Sonny emerge from the crowd two people away form me. My friend says "He touched you when he was trying to get by and you didn't even nothice it!" I was like "AH!", then he sings in the circle, and then goes up to people and sings in their faces. My friend was one of them, sadly I was not. After all that time we spent together I thought he'd contribute more to me, but I guess not. He did crouch down and sing to a person away from me to the left.
yup it was all very VERY VERY AMAZING!!
This was in Tempe and the Marquee Theater two nights ago. Oh oh! I told him about seeing him there with FFTL and how memerable him singing "Emily" was. He smiled.
|
Yesterday
(3-19-08)
After Sonny was finished playing at the marquee theatre he came out and talked to the fans, and me and my friends walked up to him and got his autograph and picture :D
I love him soooo much and he is so amazing.

Well the first time I ever met sonny was when he was still in FFTL. Me and my sister hung out with him and matt. It was a major blast! I was only like 10 or 11 at the time so it was fun to hang out with them. But today was the AP Tour in Austin, TX! Me and my friend Lauren drove from San Antonio for the show. I really didn't care about any of the other bands, I just wanted to see Sonny. No lies, it was a blasty blast. After the show we kinda hung around backstage and talked to Sean and Sonny for a while until they had to go but it was so great to see them. Front Row Baby! Definately to all of you that haven't gotten to see him live, don't miss it because his shows are really energetic and just plain fun!

I took my daughter and her friends to the Clubhouse show! In Tempe right? So all the stuffed animals were from your basket? We hung out with Sonny after the show, got a bunch of pics. He is very sweet, polite, takes lots of pics, and talks alot about stuff. Can't wait to see him again this Wed. At the Marquee. I also caught him last year at Coachella Music Festival, when I was going in he was in the parking lot checking out a band called The Mormons. I was so shoked to see him, I forgot how to even work my camera. Someone else took a pic of him and me. He was very nice, and real. I like that about Sonny. Then he took off cause people were starting to notice him. He is very awwesome.
|
|
Me and my mom were going to see Sonny on his last tour at the Clubhouse. I'm good friends with Sean and Chris, we had made a gift basket for them. When we got to the venue, we snuck into the back of the venue and asked if the guys from Sonny were there yet, then I saw Chris on the stage so we went over to him. Then we saw joe mullen from Endless Hallway, we are good friends with him too. Anyway , we started to talk to him for a while..then Sonny came over and started to talk to us. I had met Sonny a few months before that, Joe had introduced me to him at the Key Club in LA at a Strata show. So we talked and stuff, I gave him the basket and they were all happy, and when Sonny came on when he played his set, Joe decorated his set with everything we got him. ahahah. It was awesome.

I met Sonny for the first time on April 25, 2006 when From First To Last came to Buffalo, NY at the HSBC area for a show. It was after the show when I met him, hugged him, and got his autograph. It was most deff the best day of my life. I was probably most happy because everytime FFTL had been coming to Buffalo, they would drop out of their tour, but yea, it was the best day of my life for sure.
|
|
Well I met Sonny for the first time Dec, 12 at The Club House and he seemed like the coolest person to hang out with, and I always wanted to do something exciting in life and this was my big chance.

Sam's Story
It was, December 4th 2005. Dead by Dawn II tour. The venue was small, and there was no space between stage and crowd, so there was people being crushed. During Note To Self I was in the group of people begin crushed, but it was pretty bad so Sonny came over during a part he wasn't singing and grabbed my hand and yelled "ARE YOU OKAY?" and I was responded with "NO!" so he tried to pull me out but he couldn't so he just crouched, while holding my hand, and sang Note To Self to me, and I sang it back to him, BUUTT i ended up singing the wrong verse, so that was a little embarrassing. After a bit he gave up and the tour manager pulled me out and helped me across the stage to the other side *Since i was stuck hips down and by that point my legs were numb* so I was ON THE STAGE for like 3 songs, and so i got some pretty neat pictures. ANYWAY, after the show we stood outside for about an hour. Need I mention it was like -48392408 degrees out? the sweat literally froze our clothes solid. Anyway, we talked to some of the guys from He Is Legend I believe? And my friend's mom thought one of them was hot, so she made us tell him, I think. anyway Someone came out and said Sonny was already in the van and not coming out, but we didn't give up! Eventually he DID come out and signed shit. He had to use my friend's sharpie to sign everyone's stuff and when he walked away to the van because the peopel forced him he was like " A PRESENT!" and threw the marker back. She still has it lawl.
It was the best day of my life, for serious.

Omg! well i went to see Sonny Moore perforrm on the 7th of December. Well i was sooo close 2 him that i could touch his legs a lot. lol. And after the performance. He came out to talk 2 fans.

Cant wait 2 see him in March again! So yea thats the best night ever!

K so. It was november 30th. He was playing a show in portland. His solo tour, right.?
So after the show, I wanted my CD autographed, so I asked the lead singer of a band 'monster in the machine' to go back and get it signed for me.
So he got it signed, and i just hung around the sonny merch table after that. And me and some chick were talking about how we wanted to meet sonny. And one of the stage crew who was there told us that if we went around back, he should be hanging by his van. The girl was a 'lil freaked out 'cause it was late, so she didnt go, but i got my friends that i came with and my mom and we went around back and asked if we could see sonny. so he came out, and he gave us hugs and we talked for a few minutes and got a picture. it was kinda crappy though, 'cause my mom didnt bring her camera so we had to do it on my friends cellphone.

It was actualy this past summer when from first to last had come to ottawa. I
couldn't get tickets so I was really bummed out but my mom surprised me with
some tickets to go see the cassualties so I was pretty excited. It was an awsome
show and as I was leaing I bumped into someone in the parking lot so I turned
around and apoligized. It was a guy and you can only guess who it was. He was so
nice he just replied backSonny- "No thats okay it was my fault I wasn't watching
where I was going. Are you okay?" Me- "Ya I'm fine, are you?" Sonny-"Haha ya I'm
a big boy" Me-"Well not that big :P" Sonny- "Haha ya I guess you're right, I was
about to go get a coffee with Travis would you like to come?" Me-"Sure!"
That had to be the best night of my life! I went to go see the cassualties, I
not only met sonny but got to go have a coffee with him and travis. OMG! I will
remember that night forever! (I also got hi autograph and a picture with him

i was at warped tour 2006 and it was my first time ever seeing from first
to last. i was so excited (i got my nose ring ripped out and didnt even notice
until a friend pointed it out) but anyways after their set, i got thrown over
the barrier and i tried going to the backstage where they were but a security
guard turned me back around. So the guys were coming by to say hey to the fans
that stuck around, and i told them they had to come back cuz no one ever came to
our town. So, there was all of ff2l but sonny which disappointed me because i
really wanted to tell the whole band how much i loved them live. so i turned to
walk away and i saw sonny making his way to their tour bus and he was looking at
me and had his finger to his lips like he was saying shhh. and i just stood
their for a second and then i screamed "THATS SO NOT RIGHT. ALL THESE PEOPLE
CAME HERE TO SEE ALL OF YOU AND YOURE SNEAKING OFF TO THE BUS??" (i felt so rude
afterwards i really did. i think i was just really wound up frm the moshing =D)
and he came over to where i was and i put my hands up to the fence and told him
that i was sorry nad that i just wanted to say that they were really good, and i
came to see just them mainly. i told him that they were one of the main
influences that got me relaly wanting to sing in my band and they always
inspired me. he held my hands through the fence and he was all like really????
thatnk you sooo much. were signing stuff up at the table, make sure you come up
there kay??? thank you!! i do have to go now tho. and then i was just like wow.
un4tunately i didnt get to go to the table cuz my mom was mad i was at warped
and apparently was calling the cops. which it was only like 6:30. But yeah. hes
nice.

Ugh. i feel like such an idiot! ok so i was at their concert right, this
was in January mind you. so before the show my dad said "well once FFTL is over
were leaving" and he sounded serious so sure enough after FFTL played i made my
way out of the venue, but once you leave you connot re-enter. so it turns out
my dad was joking about leaving after they played and he was in the mosh pits
still. So there i was stuck outside in like 20 degree weather in shorts and a
short sleeve FFTL t-shirt. in the middle of the road freezing my ass off. so im
just kind of standing there feezing balls and basically convulsing from shivers
and her comes Sonny Jono and another brunnette guy skipping through the street
from the little cafe towards me. and sonny just kinda of stared at me in his
nice warm fluffy coat and i just kinda of stared at him freezing balls. and i
was too frozen or something beause i didnt jump at him like i had imagined if i
had met him so many times beore, and my cell phone with a camera was chilling in
my pocket. and he just kind of walked right by me still staring and said to his
friends "im going to go get on my laptop" and i cried that night. and ive been
mad at myself ever since =[[[[

4/22/06. black clouds and underdogs tour. my friend tonya, katie, and my
boyfriend kyle and i all went to see from first to last play. we got in line at
8 a.m. [10 hours before gates open] and there were only 6 people infront of us.
i was so excited. all day i was waiting and watching the gate and backstage of
the chevy ampitheatre to see if i could see sonny. as i talked with everyone in
line, they were all obviously there for fftl. NOT fall out boy. HAHA! everyone
was there for fftl. we all talked about our favorite songs and stuff like that.
well it was about an hour before gates opened and sonny came and peeked through
the gates. i was the first one to see him and i screamed "SONNY!!! OMG!!!" and
he looked at me, smiled, and walked back behind stage. after that. maybe a half
hour later. all the fall out boy "street team" got to skip ahead of everyone
waiting in line for 11 hours or over. 200 pink wearing fall out boy scene girls
got there 10 minutes ago and got to go in first!!!! everyone in line was so
pissed off we all started screaming and giving them the finger. we said we were
all there for fftl and sonny and no one could stop us from getting in first to
see him. the security gaurd was very nice and said that he would try his best
to get us in as fast as possible. while all the cussing was going on at the
f.o.b fans. i saw sonny again looking what all the ruccis was about. i heard
alot of fall out boy fans go "who is from first to last" that got us really mad.
finally we got in. my crew and i were still closs up front. matt and wess's
sweat got on us, which would normally be gross but in this case i was estatic.
they played an amazing show. after the show i went back to the backstage gate.
where i know they were coming out, and the previous year i met gerard way and 30
seconds to mars. so i KNEW they would be back there. after walking around
talking to matt good for a while. we finally found sonny. no one had the balls
to walk up to him so i went first. looking like a complete drown rat [it stormed
all day that day] i said "hey sonny... hi. im alison.. you dont mind if i get a
picture with you do you? and could you sing the back of my shirt?" he said "hi
alison, sure! do you have a marker?" i gave him my sharpie with my shaking hand
and smiled from ear to ear. after that me and my friends talked to him for
about 10 minutes. it started to storm really bad so he went to get on the bus.
before he left he said "by alison, tonya, and kaaatie. im glad you guys made it!
i'll see you next time were in pitt.!" after he left we all just scremed the
whole way home. my boyfriend wasnt to pumped that we were all OMG SONNY but i
got that worked out. sadly they didnt come to warped tour in pitt. because of
sonny's throat. that was great.

My friend Becs and I were walking around at Warped Tour and decided to head down to the Hurly stage. We both kind of spaced for a while as we listened to some random band playing and then randomly I spun around and pointed to a VERY far away fence and said calmly 'is that s-s-sonny moore?' becs just kinda nodded and we cautiously approached. He smiled sweetly at us and jumped off of the fence. He said hi and winked at me. I asked him if we could get a picture and he was like 'sure!' and so I took a picture and he laughed. Sonny and I had quite a nice conversation about music and my band. becs kinda just stood there and nodded. then he said he had to 'go warm up and change and get ready and stuff' and then added 'and ill see YOU at the show' and winked at me again.
Later when it was finally time to watch from first to last play, we kinda ditched senses fails set to get to fftls early so we could get in the front. there was only enough space for one so of course me being the total camera whore and fftl fan I took the spot. becs didn? really care. so the show started and it was fucking amazing. wes spewed his energy drink ALL over me...sonny kind of smiled in my direction and elbowed wes so he went to the other side of the stage. i hate sounding all fangirlish but sonny looked at me a lot during the show. i even have a picture of him. you can tell he made direct eye contact. he also winked at me at the end of shame shame. twas pretty fucking amazing. the whole experience. i love fftls live shows.
Afterward we decided to mosey on over (heh mosey) to their signing. sonny couldn? make it cuz he wasn? feeling well..but we met the rest of the guys. matt was quiet, but still sweet. Travis was VERY talkative lol. and then wes was talking to one of the merch guys so i went to Derek instead. after Derek signed my thing for me he kinda smiled at me. i turned to leave but he gently grabbed my arm and pulled me close to him (his eyes were AMAZING lol) and held me close as he tapped wes on the shoulder repeatedly(sp) wes kept holding up his finger for derek to wait but he was very persistent that wes would sign for me. of course i just stood there like a doofus as all of this went down. i do remember the rest of the guys watching us though. must have been kind of comical. so derek eventually got wes to dis that conversation he was having to sign my thing. he reluctantly let go of my arm and smiled at me again (you know when you can tell when someone reluctantly lets go...i swear it felt like he didn? want me to leave it was weird) . and when i finally went to walk away i kinda looked back and when i did i saw Travis and derek looking over at me. travis waved which triggered matt to look up again and he smiled that gorgeous smile of his over in my direction and i looked back at wes...who was...talking to some merch dude again lol..then back at derek. derek waved too and winked at me before i turned to leave. becs was too much of a loser to even notice this shit happening. i swear she was totally out of it that day. what a loser lol.
So there. that? my story. I could have put way more detail into the sonny part but I didn? really get into the story untill..well...until it was over I guess. jeez. but yeah....the end.

It was really nothing. I didn't get to meet him in person but I got to see him perform. It was pretty cool, um, Derek broke the snare drum and uh... It was funny because Sonny started moving around like a gypsie (I guess that's how u spell it), and stuff. It was the best day of my life. N boy does he have energy!

Hazel's Story

I was walking getting ready to go see the Da Vinci code (this is right outside a mall) when out of the corner of my eye I saw sonny. So I just froze. my mom was just like "Uhm...hazel are you okay...?" and I was like "HOLY CRAP! that? sonny moore!" So she? like "Nah it's probably a look a like." But I knew it was him, so I walked up to him and I said "Hey, are you Sonny Moore?" And as he was lighting up a cigarette he said "yeah." So I asked him if I could get a picture with him on my cell phone. But I had turned my phone off for the movie, so as i was trying to turn it on i was like "geez sorry I had it turned off...'' and in his lovely singing voice he sang "its alright...everything is alright..." so I got to wrap my arm around him and vice versa and his friend (who i think was Travis Richter) took my pic with him! ^_^ I wanted to stalk him afterwards...but my mom was being mean and wouldn't let me, because she was afraid I? run away with him LOL! That was June 26th 2006! The best day of my life! :D

Audrey's Story

Okay so I was at the From First to Last concert. And while everyone was waiting for Fall out boy to come on I just came for FFTL. I had a backstage pass so they let me in after they played. I saw Sonny and I started to panic haha. I walked up to him and said "Hi I'm Audrey how are you?"
He's all "Hello Audrey im great."
He was so nice and all sweaty but I didn't care. I got to hang with all the band members IT WAS A BLAST! :]

Shaun's Story
It was a beautiful day...the leaves were falling, a soft breeze,
bitter and cold was blowing...haha you get the idea...
I almost didn't get this chance of a lifetime because I nearly didn't
find the person who was selling me their ticket in time. Okay, anyway,
my two friends and I headed off to the Grand Rapids Delta Plex last year
and it was FREEZING...so cold it felt as though my arms were going to
fall off.
It was the AAR/FOB/Hawthorne Heights/FFTL/ and Hush Sound tour...and
the ONLY band I went to see/support was the boys of FFTL. Everything went
by sooo fast...They played second (after The Hush Sound) and only
played a few songs which made me incredibly sad, but they were
A-FREAKING-MAZING...Sonny was hopping' around all over the stage, mostly hanging by
Matt...Matt jumped around as did Travis and Derek beat the hell outta
his drums. I was the only person in my immediate area to be jumping
around and singing/screaming along with the guys...it was ridiculous...I
didn't understand how people could just stand there like statues...It
pissed me off, oh well...
Anways...the whole time I was thinking how cool it would be to meet
them afterward, so I spent practically the whole of the other bands' sets
looking around for a way to have me and my friend Karissa meet
them...Nothin...I watched Hawthorne Heights and some of FOB and then I was
ready to leave...
Our car was parked RIGHT by the tour buses and not to our knowing
RIGHT next to FFTL's...The only people I saw (or thought I recognized) at
first were Ricky and Jono...maybe Ryan...but I wasn't sure...I had to
convince our ride to stay a little longer b/c there was HUGE group of
people gathering...maybe about 100 people just standing there...Then, a
guard came up and said none of the bands were coming out and that FOB
and AAR had already signed stuff for people, but I was focused on getting
my Heroine CD signed (the concert was the day the CD came out)...so,
the group dwindled to about 20-30 people...my friends were getting cold,
as was I...so we headed back to our ride's car and I kept looking over
at FFTL's bus and saying "They are going to come out, bet me." I
convinced my friend to park closer to the bus since there was practically NO
ONE in the parking lot and right after we parked I saw someone walking
towards the group of people out of no where and I said "Holy crap, it's
Sonny!" my friend Karissa and I got out and got my digital camera
out...which was being stupid b/c I went to take a picture of her and Sonny
and the damn thing would not work...So, she tried with me and by this
time I was feeling bad b/c it was SO cold out and Sonny had to be tired
and we were wasting time...so I gave up and let him talk with everyone
else and stuff and went back to the car to get my disposable
camera...after I got it, I walked back over to him and asked if I could get my
picture with him because my other camera wasn't working and he got this
huge smile on his face and said "Sure!" all cute like...so, I got a pic
with him and had him sign my CD and then me, Karissa and Sonny just sort
of talked about nothing for a little while...
It's long story, but long story short I ended up meeting Derek and
Matt (yay!) in the long run and got home at a bleary-eyed
12:30am...ok...bye!

Holly's Story
Warped '16 ;] My friend Alexis and I were wandering around the
Columbia MD show because the whole thing was a big circle and we late
discovered most of the stages were hidden by trees. We had been hanging
around the Ernie Ball stage because I like talking to the guys in the lil
local bands who lay at churchs, I think they're the nicest ones :] but
anyway, we finally found out who to get out of the circle and we were
walking by this horrible band who's name I can't remember [[and I'm glad
I can't]] when this lady came over to us and was all like "Hey, you
guys wanna help out backstage?" so of course we were all like "HELL
YEAHH!!" and she laughed and was like "Well, I want you guys to help out
these 2 girls, and we need to find 2 more, to serve food to all the bands.
It's really cool, you get to meet all the bands and hang around and
talk afterwards." so we went with her and she gave us these wristbands
[[that I hung on my wall lol..]] and we went back into this like sun-room
type thing and she immediately told us that we'd be working a few hours
so we could go get some water [[I also saved the can]] and juice and
stuff to drink while we're back there. Then she sent us all behind the
Hurley [[I think..]] stage to wash our hands and Paramore was playing and
Alexis loves them so she was all like :]]] and the lady sent us to
stations. Alexis served corn, I was serving the chicken. The steak girl and
I constantly got into fights about whether steak or chicken is better.
All the bands voted steak >:[ But anyway, right after FFTL had
preformed they were in there, but by that time we were out of steak. I remember
Matt coming in first and being kinda 'tudy all like "ughh.. no more
steak!?" and me being all like "uhmm.. nope sorry.. So I'm guessing you
want the real chicken?" he also got a tude with Alexis because she was
like "hey you sexy M.F.er, want any corn?" yes I know, it's the perfect
pick-up line. The he said no and she said "What you got against corn!?"
and he gave her the finger. Then Sonny came in, and I was like
"Chicken, or Vegan chicken?" and he started jumping up and down and pointing to
the [[real]] chicken and I was like "whoa.. calm down dude." and
handed him his food. Alexis said he spazed out on her too and put his hand
by his chest and moved it out and mouthed out "no" then she gave him a
thumbs-up and he laughed. And again, I started fighting with the steak
girl so I didn't really notice anyone else, besides this chick with the
most awesome hair ever! And once that was over, I looked and Matt and
Sonny had hung around, and were talking to Travis as he ate and we were
all like "is he a mime.. ? There isn't anything against singing in the
mime laws.." and later [[once our "shift" was over]] Alexis and I still
hadn't gotten past the trees so we started walking around them and
there was like no one on the road at all! But then I turned around to look
at this huge stack of ripped up posters and saw Mr.Sonny Moore walking
by them as well. Alexis kinda stood there thinking "Oh.. Holly's gonna
do something stupid.." but I kinda just froze there until she hit me
and I went over to him and asked him to sign my shirt and he smiled
because he was a mime and wouldn't talk and then I took a pic with him that
I look really bad in because I swear I was like about to pass out on
the spot, and I was going to be all stalkery and ask for his number but
in the moment I forgot but then remembered as he ran away all funnily.
Alexis and I chased him but the nwe ran into our friends and got
engaged in conversation and lost him :[
Well whatever, it was the bestestestest day everrrr!

Alex's Story

I was with my sister at the first show for the Atreyu tour with
FFTL here in San Diego and when we went around back to meet the band,
we saw Matt, who my sister is obsessed with. So when we met him, she
actually asked him if she could grab his ass. he said, and i quote"no,
because I don't like being personally violated and it would be weird." It
was the funniest thing that i ever seen. I couldn't believe that she
really asked him that.

Jackie B.'s Story

A few friends and I went to see FFTL last year at a small club
in Orlando. It was my best friend's birthday, I bought her a ticket, and
naturally, she freaked. Anyway, the show was awesome of course, but
after, I hunted down Sonny and Matt. (Sonny joined us in singing 867-5309
by Tommy Tutone =P ) I explained to Sonny that it was my best friend's
birthday, and he said, "I'll see what I can do." Next thing I know, he
speeds over to her, and plants a big wet kiss on her forehead and
screams, "HAPPY EFFIN' BIRTHDAY!" She still hasn't recovered. =) I thanked
Sonny for it, though. That was cool.

Heather's Story

So me and my friends Mel and Sierra were at Warped before they
had left the tour. We were walking down the path thing. Then we spotted
Matt and Travis walking. We like yelled "oh my god!" We jumped in front
of them and yelled "Freeze!" They like just stopped and I think we scared
them. Were like "Oh my god! You're Matt and Travis". They're like yeah and
were like can we get an autograph...sometime. It was so embarassing. We
had been talking about meeting FFTL the whole night before but that was
really not how we had planned it. A little while after that Mels mom
like passed out from the heat so we didnt get to see them play or get
their autographs. It was sad!
