Toronto, Canada - February 12th, 99 - Chum City Building a.k.a Muchmusic Headquarters

Ok, now that I can think just a little straighter I can tell you a lot more. Ok, so we got to Muchmusic 
yesterday morning at 6am, cuz we left a little earlier than planned, due to my "MUM!! I can't wait 
let's go now!!" So, we went earlier and we were the first ones there. We weren't even there 10 minutes 
when the Breakfast TV crew came out and flashed their bright cameras in our faces and they're like 
"who are you here for?" and I was so hyper and excited already so I'm like "SILVERCHAIR!!!!! because 
they rule!!" and they we like "ok, who are they?" and I was like "oooooo they're from Australia!! and I 
love them!! and they rule!!!" So they were like ok thanks. So we were on TV live at 6am, how nice we 
must have looked. So anyway we were waiting maybe a half an hour before 2 other girls showed up, they 
were really nice so we spent most of our day with them. Then at around 9am a bus load of teenie boppers 
came, oooooohhhhhh man I dislike those people. Just so you know, I may seem like a teenie 
bopper but really I'm not, they stand around and yell "fuck me daniel" and shit like that right in 
front of them, and I know they hate it, so I'd never do it for one and two, it makes you look slutty 
and retarded. But that's just my opinion, and by the way all these girls are like 12, 13 and 14, one 
17 year old too. So pathetic really. And they were wearing stcikers that said "I want you in my pants" 
across their crotches and boobs (the ones who had some that is), one girl was wearing a way too low cut 
shirt and had a stickers right above her boobs with the word "Ben" and a downward arrow written there, 
like HOW stupid is that?? God, grow up! 

Anyway, I wasn't gonna let the boppers piss me off too much, silverchair know who the REAL fans are 
anyway, they can probably tell just by looking. So, at around 10:30 a small crowd had assembled, and 
security came out and started to tell us to move back and give some door room, then it got kinda bad 
because the boppers started to argue with us about who was here first, as far as I see it there was 
NO argument because we were there first and everybody there knew it! Anyway that got settled when the 
security came out and told the boppers they were full of shit because they even knew we were there first. 
Hahaha, that was sweet. 

So then the security came out with these little green Much wristbands. He put one on everyone who was 
there and told us to go away and don't come back until 3pm, if we did our wristbands would be cut off 
and we wouldn't be able to go inside. So we went to the Eaton Centre with those other two nice girls 
and hung around there for like 4 hours just getting dry from all the snow and freezing rain we'd been 
standing in for the last 2 and a half hours. Then we went to eat, but I couldn't because I was too 
nervous and I'd throw up. So we waited and waited, and hung around in Tower Records for a while. Then 
we went back to Much and waited in Starbuck's coffee place across the street for the rest of the time 
left which was like a half an hour. So..... finally at 3pm we ran over there and beat the boppers back!! 
HAHAHAHAHA!! Little teenie's can't run for shit! Well, neither can I but this was silverchair, so I ran 
on pure love alone and pure hate for the teenies cuz I couldn't bear the thought of them in before me. 

So, we had to wait in line there for like another half an hour, then they finally let us in, we had to 
take our coats off and sit down for the rules. So we did. We took our cameras in and they put us right 
behind their chairs and we standed there for 5 minutes..... AND THEN..... SILVERCHAIR WALKED IN!!!!!!! 
First Chris, who walked right by me and smiled and I got a picture, then came Ben who looked really  
good and then.... Daniel came in and he actually touched my left arm as he brushed by me, I was 
shocked. So, now was the time to press that button on the camera like never before. Anyway so I go 
"Daniel" (not screaming teenie bopper way, but just nice so I could get his attention) then he turned 
back and said "hi" and smiled and so I go "Can you smile for a sec" and he smiled and goes "sure" so he 
gave that cute little teeth smile and I took a pic, then he nodded his head and looked back facing the 
window again. Then I got Ben to turn around and he smiled for me and then I got a pic of Chris but I'm 
not sure if that one turned out because I might have just gotten the side of his face because since he 
was right in front of me it was kinda hard for him to turn around the whole way. Then I took more pictures 
of basically the sides of their faces.

Then the interview started and we had to stop taking pictures. Then you know, they talked and answered 
the questions. Then they went to commercial, then I actually got up the courage to tap Ben on the 
shoulder and ask him if I could shake his hand. He turned around and shrugged, smiled and grabbed my 
hand and shook it hard. I was like "wow, um I just touched Ben Gillies" Yup, I was in a daze, total 
daze. So then they did the rest of the interview and I took more pictures right as it was finishing 
(not on TV, it was already done on TV) and then the security guards made us leave, so we waved "Bye" 
and left. Unfortunatly they had no time for a quick signing session because they were going straight 
to the Edge. So I left my presents for them on a table and the guards brought them back for them 
before they had to leave.

So we got out there and ran down a taxi in less than 3 minutes, then we took it straight to the Edge 
to wait there now. We went in the Eaton Center for something, I really don't remember,my friend Katie 
wanted something, anyway we came back out and ran around to the front of the Edge's trailor. Then at 
around 5:30, a white van pulled up and silverchair got out, people were screaming (not me, still in 
shock) then they got into the trailor, luckily they weren't hurt, you wouldn't believe these stupid 
fans. Ok, so they were in there now and weren't coming on for like what I thought would be another 
hour or so, so I went to the back of the trailor and took a picture of the van they came in and the 
liscense plate on it. LOL.

Then we waited and finally they opened the window on the front of their trailor, teenies charged and 
pressed up against the window screaming "I wanna fuck you daniel/ben/chris!!!!" "I love you 
daniel/ben/chris!" and you could see their facial expressions and they weren't impressed. Anyway, so 
they guards cleared all the boppers off the stage thing they had set up so everyone could see and take 
pictures. So we stood there, front row taking more pictures. Then Ben looked right up at us, pointed and 
waved, kinda nodding his head towards me and Katie, I was like totally wanting to cry my eyes out inside 
but I didn't because I didn't want them to see me cry. So he kept kinda laughing and waving at us for 
the next maybe 20 minutes, Daniel looked scared out of his mind, I felt really bad for him cuz I know he 
hates all this kinda shit. Actually during the Edge interview he looked up from the ground maybe twice if 
you were lucky. and he goes to the DJ, "umm, how strong is the glass??" LOL, poor Daniel. Then 
unfortunatly they had to leave, they got out of the trailor and walked around to their van covered by 
body guards. I got more pictures of them getting into the van and then I looked back and there were these 
MENTAL girls who had opened the back door of their van and lunged at Daniel and grabbed his necklace 
and you could see his head jerk back and his desperate attempt to try to grab the necklace to stop 
himself from being choked, I was so mad at those girls, like if they really truly cared you'd think they'd 
be a little more careful and respectful towards them. Anyway so I got out of there as soon as I could and 
ran down the street to watch their van leave, as soon as it turned the corner and was out of site. I 
kinda broke down and balled my eyes out for like an hour because I'll never ever see them like that again, 
they were just gone, I cried and cried out of happiness and saddness, it was really hard to watch them go, 
yup that was the worst part of the day, watching them go. But they stayed at a hotel called The Merit 
and they left the next morning for New York City. So then, since they were gone I called my mum and told 
her to come get us, actually it took me a while to be able to speak again, then I called my mum. 

Overall it was the best day I have ever lived, I've always told everyone I was gonna meet them one day 
and look, I did it, I met silverchair, they are very friendly, and the most genuine people I've ever met, 
ever. And I hope Rachel Perry, that one who was interviewing them at Muchmusic does a little more 
research on who she is interviewing next time and she should watch what she says a little more, she
blurted out that Daniel Johns had psychological problems on national TV and he seemed very quiet after
that, I am very aware that she said she was only joking, but if someone just tells the world you're
psycho I'm sure you wouldn't take it as a joke.

I would also like to mention that not all the girls that have a crush on a band member that were there
were considered "teenies". I have recieved an email from someone who was at the interview who was
offended by what I had to say. I would like to apologize to her and a couple of her friends because I
feel that calling them "bitches" just because they like a band member is unfair. But I do not apologize
what-so-ever to the girls with the "I want you in my pants" stickers, that IS a bopper thing whether you
want to admit it or not. If you really knew anything about your beloved Daniel, Ben or Chris you would
know that they don't appreciate that kind of stuff, being a fan of a person is fine but when you stand
around and make yourself look skanky then they don't appreciate that. I'm am sincerely sorry to the girl
who emailed me. silverchair rules forever and you all don't forget that!

Much thanks goes out to Fontaine, a proud member of my silverchair Cult for scanning these pictures!! 
Luv Ya!

Daniel and Ben at Muchmusic before the interview started Ben and Daniel again Ben and Dannyboy Daniel and Ben smiling but not facing me Daniel fiddling with his mic during commercials Wicked picture of Daniel loooking back Ben smiling The van they came in, if anyone really cares..LOL Daniel at Edge 102, wicked picture Daniel looking into the camera, damn that glare!!! Chris and Ben from behind Daniel walking right by me!!! Daniel's big head Ben at the Edge, the light kinda ruins the pic though Daniel at Edge 102 Just another picture from the Edge 102 trailor Chris and Ben coming in about to walk by me Ben and Daniel coming in to sit down, about to walk right by me This is so sweet.. I'm so happy they're such good friends Mr. Gillies from the side Gotta love Ben man, he's such a cutie, this is when I asked him if I could take a picture Daniel and Ben talking to eachother during commercial break Daniel answering a question at the Edge Daniel signing stuff at Edge 102 You can see Daniel's tongue in this one Awesome picture of Chris!!!
More coming soon!! I apologize for the lack of Chris in the pictures, it's just that he was directly in front of me at Muchmusic and it was hard for him to turn around just so I could take pictures, so instead of bothering him I accepted the fact that I could not get that many of him. I have a few wicked ones of him already that my friend took, now I just have to have Fontaine scan them for me again, so be patient. Also most of the Edge pictures are of Daniel not because I'm a teenie but because I could only really see him there since it was a long trailor.. ok! Teenies suck ass!
