Dear Matt Hires and Co.,

You are the most talented and down to earth guys I have ever met in my entire life, and I just want to thank you for letting me be a part of the show tonight. I know it was just selling merch, but it was probably one of the coolest things I have ever done in my life, and for you to allow me to be a part of it totally made my life. Every person that I met tonight was downright awesome and enjoyable to be around. It was like taking the local scene girl and sticking her in her biggest dream for a night. I totally felt like a make a wish kid, without the life threatening disease. I love your music and to hear it live is so amazing and I just wish I got to see you live more often. Come back to Chicago soon. We love you here.

that is all.

Love,

Suzie :)

HEY! thanks for reading my love letter to Matt Hires and Co. haha... If you couldn't tell by now, I had the best time at his show tonight. It was so refreshing to be at a +18 show and not have to deal with teeny boppers. But there was an absurd amount of another demographic... middle aged women. womp womp. They actually came out to see Jason Castro... who apperently was on American Idol, but who knew? Not me. haha. I had to text both Sam and Brandon before I got an answer because I felt bad asking someone there who he was... He's super talented tho, and if you haven't heard him sing look into it... oh and he's just sooo dreamy. haha

The girl who opened tonight was Caitlin Crosby and she had one amazing voice. She sang a lot about imperfection is ok and faults beings good... some good messages for young girls... I sure hope she goes far.. she has a website, loveyourflawz so check her out and see for yourself.

Matt Hires was amazing. Imagine that, right? But what kind of impressed me was after the show when he was talking to fans... aka girls... haha... he was so egotistic like the guys in local bands i watch talk to girls. He wasn't all "omg everyone loves me, im the greatest" towards it. He was more reserved and may I say shy.. because that's what it seemed like he was.. Like he wanted to talk to you, but he looked like if you didnt go up to him and be assertive he wouldn't mind just chilling in the back.. he's so soft spoken and sweet. i love seeing that. it's very refreshing coming from the local scene to this. People are super nice and accepting, i didn't feel like I was being judged at all... which is sometimes my problem in the local scene... but whatevers...

ok. that's it. enough. fin.

i'm going to bed.

peas.
