Where has my head gone?

ok all...here it is...Matthew Good...a mini photo essay - i say mini because we were not allowed to take pictures during the recording...only the crew was...so when they post those pictures i will 'steal' them and post them on here!

this was supposed to be a secret location...but clearly with fox van its not so secret...
fox guy coming to sign us in...i think steven and i were the first ones there...half an hour early of course...but we got in first and first pick of seats...but first we had to wait...we were thinking of going and getting beer since the factory was right there...but we didn'tsteven hiding his excitement...front row baby...we were two feet away...borrowed this picture from blogger Acoustic - there were like 20 of us in the studio with matt and the crew...super smallneil morrison - the guy from the fox hosting the show...the recording was for a world album premier of In A Coma...so it was all profession and stuff...really really coolthis is at the half way point...matt had to go for a bathroom break so i snuck in a photo...it was kinda dark and they had candles...the mood was really intimate...so rocked another picture borrowed from blogger Acoustic - matt played 5 songs for us... Strange Days, Tripoli, Generation X Wing, Oh Be Joyful, and new one - You Can't Get Shot in the Back if You Dont Run...when he started playing strange days i was fighting back the tears...i mean something that intimate with one of your favorite artists...it was unbelievable...a group photo...see whos next to me??? thats right...its Matt Good...I got to meet two bloggers...Blogger Unkown and his girl who were super nice...and Acoustic who came up to me and introduced himself...we chatted about concertswhose the hotter one here??? CLEARLY JENNY...i look like a cardboard cutout...nerd alertaww family picture...steve, matt, and me...look at our glasses!!! He was the NICEST guy ever...totally cool! the show that we recorded will be on all over canada so check your local stations...and if you hear him mention 'you might as well wear her checkered vans' he was talking about me!!!
on his blog Mike asked him to 'give smelly a hug' and he didnt know what that meant...so i told him smelly was me and explained it to him...he was super nice...and signed my cd To Smelly...which is priceless!!!this is the new sticker coming out...we were the first ones to get it!

over all it was un unbelievable experience and i would never trade it in for anything...i will be recording the show since it is on my radio station tonight so if anyone wants a copy please email me and i will send you one or something...when i get more pictures from the fox i will post them and prob. tell more stories too...
