Rock on 311

Some of you know how picky Eric is

which makes surprises very hard to do.

I was so excited when I found the best surprise ever!

His favorite band is:

311!!!

They came to town in concert the summer of 2004!

As most newlyweds....we were broke and so Eric decided not to go!

Little did he know I had a plan up my sleeves!

I found out that a local radio station was giving away tickets

and I was determined to win some for us!!

One day while I was at work, my friend and I were listening

when it became time to call in to win.

This particular win would give us backstage passes

so we had the entire office on their phones calling!

What a thrill it was when we got through and won the tickets!!!!

I was ecstatic but wasn't ready to tell Eric quite yet!

That weekend we went to the restaurant PF Changs with some friends.

When they brought out the fortune cookies we all read ours out loud.

I opened mine and said

"Megan won backstage tickets to 311"

Of course Eric wasn't listening very carefully

so it took a minute to register what I had just said!

I have never seen his face in so much shock.

What a surprise!

Here we are in the car on our way to the concert!

The band signing autographs!

Eric shaking hands with lead singer!

Rock on Nick Hexum!
