MEET & GREET: Dashboard Confessional, The Cab & The Used

The SMASH PROJECT 2012 performers THE CAB, THE USED and CHRIS CARRABBA of DASHBOARD CONFESSIONAL held their CD Signing at SM Skydome North Edsa on March 7, 2012

I'm so thankful to Dayly Entertainment for bringing these great bands, what a great summer rocking MANILA!

It was early January when we learned that these guys will come in Manila, I can't believe that a set of great bands will come to perform for one night, that would be awesome!

Then a few days before the concert, I saw on Dayly Entertainment fanpage that these guys will be having a CD signing at SM Skydome! Yeah~ cool! Finally we will get a chance to meet the bands!

Of course the CD Signing is not free ^_^ You have to buy the album, you know the drill :) Odyssey plays a big part here selling CDs of The Cab, Dashboard Confessional and Pre-sale CD for The Used.

Well that's the simplified mechanics for this event, buy a CD/s and meet your favorite band/s! So simple right, but if you buy 3 CDs (The Cab, Dashboard Confessional & The Used), you'll be on a priority lane and get a chance to meet all these bands.

Of course I was so excited to meet & greet these guys, at first I only bought "The Cab - Symphony Soldier" CD, and my sister Tina bought The Cab & The Used CD. As the mall opens at 10am, Tina was there already to buy our CDs, early bird right? ^_^

The meet and greet was supposedly start at 4pm but it almost started at around 6pm, well it's okay for me to wait, the moment I saw THE CAB, my energy went UP!!! adrenaline rush!!! ALEX MARSHALL was so HOT!! He's a total hottie and kinda look like Zach Efron ^^ (do you guys agree?)

Then, dazzling "CHRIS CARRABBA" came to the stage too, I was like "woaahhh, he was super gwapo", I don't know where to look and where to point my camera LOL, so starstruck by these gorgeous guys! Seriously!!!

Chris Carrabba

After a few words from Chris Carabba, here goes Bert McCracken of The Used with his fellow band mates, which makes the crowd go crazy too, The Used got a lots of fan too. So happy to see this guys, just on my way home I was listening to my The Used playlist and at that moment I was actually seeing them, yeah it was amazing! ^^

Bert McCraken

I guess the whole SM Skydome was filled with screaming girls, go wild with the gorgeous members of The Cab and the always dazzling Chris Carrabba of Dashboard Confessional and of course some girls like Bert McCracken too, my sister Tina likes her too ^^ But of course the guys were there for The Used! I know they were hardcore fans of this band! I admit there were really great, Bert voice was amazing! I love their songs.

The CD signing/meet & greet began, while we are so busy taking pictures the lines went so long already ^^ But the priority lane was not partly taken, only few people avail that lane of buying the 3 CDs to get the priority lane stub. We need to get that stub, we already have 2 CDs of The Cab (because we both want to meet & greet the band) and Tina have The Used CD, so we only need Dashboard Confessional CD! The moment I saw Chris Carrabba I told to myself that I need to meet & greet him, so no thinking twice I told my sister to go out and buy the CD, and so we get 1 priority stub! yeah ~ what a brilliant idea, we can use it but not at the same time, at least we won't be queuing to the long line, which is really really really good ^^

My sister first used the stub for "The Used", she told me that Bert smells beer ~hahaha~ I guess he's a little bit alcoholic or he really was ^^ Odyssey only give a poster for their pre-sale The Used CD, it wasn't release yet, they can claim the CD on March 27.

Dan Whitesand throw the pen, I was lucky to catch it ^^ his drumstick was catch by my sister Tina during The Smash Project concert ^^ We were so lucky right ^^

It's my turn to use the priority stub, I lined first to THE CAB, I'm so nervous! ~hahaha! Fan girling running to my veins ^^ Alex DeLeon was the first to sign the CD cover, he was a good looking guy with a beanie ^^ and then I asked him if I could hug him? he says "sure", I'm so shy, he made me so happy by that hug ^^

Alex De Leon

Sitting beside him was Joey Thunder, he just signed the CD cover, because I still in shock of seeing Alex DeLeon, I didn't bother Joey Thunder to give me a hug ^^ I couldn't find a word to say something to these gorgeous guys! so speechless!! After Joey, the two guys sitting beside him also signed the CD cover, they were guitarist & drummer during The Cab Tour. Then finally to my ultimate crush on The Cab.... ALEX MARSHALL! He was standing while signing, he was so gorgeous!!! After he signed, I asked him a hug, and he hugged me so tight and quite long for me too, I'm so *kilig* , I don't want to leave Alex Marshall! Can you take me home ~hahahaha~ He smells so good, really good ^^ I love Alex Marshall!

My sister Tina was so lucky to have a hugged and kissed by Alex Marshall, she even hugged Joey Thunder ^^ 

So it's my turn again, this time to Chris Carrabba of Dashboard Confessional! Approaching Chis, I handed the CD cover, again I was speechless, then I say "can I have a hug?" , he says "sure", then I hugged him! Then I told him if can we take a photo (Tina was waiting for it), yeah I have a blurry photo with Chris Carrabba, Tina was so nervous to take a photo ^^

After that I didn't leave yet and asked him a kiss ^^ , and he kissed me! ~HAHAHA~ so happy again! He was so kind, he smells good too, he's gorgeous! I can't explain anymore, this is so much of my fan girling ^^ 

I love Chris Carrabba!
