I already told the little bitty bit that happened BEFORE the show in my concert review, so I'm going to pick up the story AFTER the show... the Meet and Greet.  

I had a custom tshirt made for both myself and my best friend... We both chose a picture from the many 100s that I've gotten from all of Zac's shows that I've been to, and put it on the shirt with the heading "got zac?"  Hehe... I was able to wear mine proudly, but my best friend's was a little too small, so she decided to just have him SIGN it for her, instead of actually wearing it. That turned out well, too... But, when we first got INTO the venue, she realized she'd forgotten her shirt in the car!!  We quickly checked with the staff to see if we'd be able to leave and come back in... to which they said "as long as you have your wristband, you can get back in".  Whewwww!  So, we can actually enjoy the show without worrying about trying to rush off to the car before the show started... and we had already planned on waiting til the very end of the line for OUR meet and greet opportunity, so when the show was over, we'd head to the car then to get the shirt... and we'd just hang around til the line dwindled... WHICH we did...

Instead of going to the back of the line, though, we just decided to hang around near the table where all 4 finalists were signing and taking pictures with all their adoring fans.  That turned out to be a GREAT idea, since, between fans, Zac and I made eye contact a couple of times... one time he caught me trying to take a 'candid' picture of him.  He smiled for me... which was nice... but it didn't 'zactly turn out to be the 'candid' shot I was attempting to take.  Hehehe... I'm not 'zactly complaining either though!  He absolutely loved my shirt, too... and pointed it out to several people.  At one point, each of the other 3 also noticed my shirt and pointed it out.   

I'll spare you all the sordid, mundane details of every little thing that happened while we were waiting there... but when we finally were getting closer to getting OUR chance, we decided to warn Zac that we WERE waiting til the end because we wanted to be 'greedy'... hehehehe... He said "No... no... you're fine..."  Hehehe... Anyway, what we DID end up getting was an opportunity to chat little bitty bits here and there... Then picture ops... I got a picture between Zac and Angela... and one between David and Josh.  The one of me with Zac and Angela, Tim snuck into the picture, too... hehehehe... and I look ANGRY!  I swear I'm not, tho!! I was squinting cuz of looking directly at the sun... and not knowing when my best friend was actually TAKING the picture!!  LOL!  When I got ready to take my pic with David and Josh, I asked them if I could get in the middle between them... make a "Sam-wich"!  *giggle*  Then it was my best friend's turn.  She, too, wanted a pic between Zac and Angela... and one between David and Josh.  They were all super super nice... and when my best friend asked Zac if he'd changed his middle name yet, he looked a little puzzled/confused and said "No..." with it trailing off as if implying the question "why" without having to verbalize it. She just took it in stride and said "Because I thought for sure by now that Sami would have convinced you to change it to Lee!!" and rambled off a couple of possible uses of it for him.  He found it hilarious... and for some strange reason, looked straight at me... knowingly... I just can't imagine WHY... *whistles innocently*  Hehehe... I just simply shrugged and told him "yeah... well... I've got quite a few people doing that now!"  Hehe...

I s'pose all in all it was a great show and meet and greet.  It WAS way too short... and not everything went 'zactly as planned.  A missed concert call... and a forgotten "Hi" from a friend... but hopefully they don't both hate me now.  Hehe... Now, I have to learn to practice the virtue of patience, as my next show isn't until September 1st.  That's like EONS from now!!
