Ahhhhh Cass! I had no idea Nacho picked up the panties we all signed. I saw someone throw a white thing and I turned to Brad and said - I wonder if those were the panties!!!!!!!! haha yea and we met with him afterwards and i was yelling at him askin what he was gunna do with my panties and he said he would go home and read them...sooooo hopefully those panties make the groupie hall of fame for the Kings..i stuffed glow sticks in them so they would make the distance lol..i think the glow sticks AND the panties have to be a re-occurring event at every gig!! i had a great time meetin you guys and im glad to hear you guys got back safelyy

Ok, I'm probably going to get in a lot of trouble for doing this, and no doubt I will get smited, but I know a lot of you have been waiting for this shot. I'm sorry Ruth. I've got 132 pictures to get through, and I'll let you know later when and where you will all be able to see and/or download them. I'll be in touch.

omg i'm finally back!
i don't even know where to start my goodness! the lack of sleep and jet lag exhaustion have me feeling very emotional. i know i will just bust out with tears soon.
i honestly cannot fully describe how wonderful it was to meet you all! it truly felt like a family- a big HA family roaming around New York City!
the kings were amazing on thursday night. i cannot decide which song i loved most. trani was incredible. cold desert made me cry. i rocked out to charmer. use somebody sounded like it was written for madison square garden. like the song had made its way home.
and even though our seats were crappy and we (me & so-cal girls) were really far away, i could tell that the kings were really into their performance. caleb actually walked to jared and matt's sides to pump up the crowd on the sides of the stage. i had never really seen him do that. from the screens (which were really crappy) i could tell that caleb was really sweaty at the end and i remember recently reading that he thinks sweatyness is a sign of how much he is into a show...
the energy was so electric. i couldn't believe i was in a huge, history building full of people who more or less know and understand the level of obsession and love i feel for this band. but then when we happyaloners would get together, i would just feel a swell of joy for having found these people who know exactly what this love feels like.
when we were waiting for the kings in the coldest of colds i have ever felt in my life, i was completely convinced they would come out to meet us. the crowd was not huge, and we were waiting in THE COLD! i just thought they would for sure have mercy on us and come and take a few pictures sign a few things...i was terribly disappointed but not even just for myself but for my fellow HAers who have never met the Kings before. i feel greedy for wanting to meet them again but i do want all my people to get the same chance. i feel it's only fair...but oh well...there's always the next gig perhaps in Ireland? hehe...
new york city is just magnificent. i'm in love with it. there's no other way to put it.
nicole, brad, tracy, ruth, claire, jennifer, cassie, arlyn, jasmine, christy- IT WAS AMAZING TO MEET YOU GUYS!!! it really was like a live version of HA! we were able to get everything out in the open, with nothing but positive feedback. it was just like a family, honestly...
i'll post my pictures later. like i said, i haven't had much sleep and my boyfriend and family think i'm being ridiculous because i just got back from a trip to see KOL and now i'm logging on to the fan forum.
but that's just me, crazy....
good night y'all...i really hope to have some followill dreams because the post-KOL-gig-depression is gonna sink in soon. i actually couldn't even listen to them on the plane ride back because it hurt my heart. it really did....
goodness, i've written a novel!

OMG Laura your recount honestly made me tear up! As most of you know (who were there) that was my first KOL concert ever so it was already an amazing experiance to begin with, but getting to meet other amazing ppl that understood my level of love and loyalty for this incredible band was icing on the cake. And i have to admit to still being disappointed in not meeting them, standing outside getting to bond and laugh with you HAers was so much fun. Also I am finally going to get my passport renewed so I can go on the next HAers concert meet up...Ireland maybe ;o)
Also, Ruth's face made me lol, poor Ruth! Did this happen while Claire and I were at dinner?

Hey Jaz, was that the Iris pub that was REALLY crowded (me and Clare got dinner for 15 min while ppl were still there) where you lost your hat or the first place that was a little more up scale where we were blocking the door? Either way that man is just scary, lol.

Hi. It's Andie. I've finally made it to my computer.
Karma, Karma! That video is so awesome Jasmine. Thanks for putting that together! It came out great. The trip was truly amazing. I loved meeting everyone. This was my first time in New York and yet I didn't ever feel like I was amongst strangers. HappyAloners are the best!
I'm sorry it took me forever to make it back to HA. I slept all day. Boy was I in need of some rest. I'm going to post some pictures soon. My shots at the show suck because I couldn't find the right settings and we were pretty far up in the 300s, so I'll just post the ones of our adventures in city. I'm still wondering how I can get a still from that video of Jas, Nacho and me. Yeah, I was initially bummed about not meeting the guys after the gig, but we got us some Nacho AND that shout out was a pretty big deal. The simple acknowledgment was enough to make me feel appreciated.
Anyway, the show was amazing. I was in total awe as I watched the entire arena clap and sing along to the songs I've loved for so long--the ones I blast real loud in my car, the ones I listen to during a workout or while I'm cooking, the ones that have been the soundtrack to my life for the last few years. It was amazing to feel the same love and energy coming from thousands of strangers. I'm so happy I got to meet my fellow HA-ers, who I know were having a blast too and soaking it all up in various parts of the arena.
Just talking about it all makes me so sad that it's over. I don't know when I'll be able to see the Kings again. It could be months, a year even--AAAHH!
I hope you all made it home safely. I love you all!

Hello, Stacy here. What an AMAZING time I had in New York! It was such a pleasure meeting all the fellow HA'ers, I had so much fun with all of you.
Thanks to everyone for all the pix and vids, Jas that video you put together is GREAT! Thanks so much for doing that and spelling my name right, Karma!
Just like Andie, I too slept all day long, I almost missed the SuperBowl. Back to work bright and early tomorrow, good night all, can't wait to see more pix/vids...especially Brad's.
