How I did it: I've seen Simple Plan three times now and the last time [27th November] was the first time I had the opportunity to wait for them after the show. It took over an hour and a half so I waited until almost 1am for them [in the cold. It was raining too. Scotland in November, what can ya do?] to come out. When they did. Oh god, it was like..amazing =]

They're all such nice guys. Jeff especially. I keep remembering the part where he moved the big metal barrier out of the way so he could put his arm around me for the picture. Urgh. He's so nice. I met Jeff, Seb and Pierre. I was told Chuck came out at around 2am but i left just after seeing Pierre because I was so cold and wet. David didn't come out at all because that was the night he found out his sister was sick. I'm dissapointed that I never got to meet them, but hey, two out of three ain't bad =]

Lessons & tips: Get to their bus [or whereever] as soon as you can so you're not going to have to fight through people to get to see the guys, be patient, wear warm clothes if you live somewhere crappy like me, try not to go fucking mental when you see them, don't be scared to talk to them either. They are the nicest guys in the world and so easy to talk to. Not at all like 'I am rockstar, you are fan. Hush up and let me sign your shiz.'

Oh, and it's not true what people say about Pierre being a dick about your camera and not having it ready to take the picture. My mum was taking my pictures for me [since I lost my friends while exiting the venue. Brilliant] and she didn't know which button to press so Pierre sort of stepped in going 'not that one, the next one, the big one! there you go, yup, that's the one!' in a funny, nice kind of way. I mean, he lol'd along with me. It was epic.
