AN: Basically my crack dream about meeting Starkids when Ashley, Shannon, and I go to Charlene Kaye's show on January 7th


I was so happy to finally meet Ashley and Shannon in person. We met at the Mercury before the show and I showed off my ticket to H2$ for later that night. As we rocked out during Charlene's set and I opened Ashley and Shannon's minds to the magic that is Shoot The Freak, a figure approaches us. I turn my head to see Brian Holden in all of his majestic glory. Shannon froze in shock. Ashley and I exchanged knowing smiles and pushed Shannon towards him.

"You guys should dance!" I say to them. Brian simply shrugs and wraps his arm around her waist and pulls her in to dance. Shannon relaxes and sways to the music as well.

"Too bad Joses isn't here." Ashley says.

"Yea he is!" Brian says pulling out his phone and texting all while continuing his dancing with Shannon. Before long, Joe Moses saunters over to us.

"Hey I know you from somewhere." He says to Ashley.

"Yea we met a few times before." She replies.

"Yea, cool!" Then by silent agreement, they start to dance together. I rock out by myself momentarily but there was a tap on my shoulder. It was Tyler in all of his shiny teeth magnificence!

"Wanna dance? I feel left out." I say to him. And then we do crazy spazzy movements.

After the show, we all hang back and talk to the boys and Charlene and Mia Von Glitz. They invite us to dinner. I say I can only go for a little bit cause I have to go see Darren's show. After a fair amount of mocking from Brian about it, they decide to just go for coffee instead. Tyler and I frolic through the streets of NYC holding hands and twirling. Brian and Shannon walk together, Shannon bright red and Brian loving it. Joe and Ashley are sharing headphones listening to his iPod. Charlene and Mia join Tyler and me, and I film our silliness on my phone.

Once at the coffee shop, not far from the theater where H2$ is playing, we start discussing LeakyCon. We mention the Cuddle Puddle Crew. And Brian says, "Aren't you guys the livestream people? Pat told us about all that. It sounds awesome."

Then we tell him a little bit about it. "I wanna be in it!" Joe yells. And we tell him he totally can be.

I mention the Charity Ball and how I was planning on asking Corey to go with me. They tell me I totally should and he'll definitely say yes cause they'll tell him about me. Then Ashley gets brave and turns to Joe and asks if he would go with her. "Hell yea! You're awesome!" Brian leans over and high fives Joe.

"are you going?" Brian asks Shannon, who blushes again.

"Working on it, but most likely." She says.

"Sweet! We get to dance again." He says. I hold back the urge to break into the song, but Charlene does it anyways. Then everyone walks me to the theater and people are jealous at us just chilling with the Starkids. They all get our numbers and promise to keep in touch.

And then I got to the play, and stage door afterwards. Darren comes out to sign and when he gets to me, I mention that I was just hanging out with everyone and he stops and actually talks to me for a while. He then goes over and says something to security. One of the guards comes over to me and has me let through the barrier. Darren comes upto me and says that he was just headed to the bar to meet up with everyone. He asks if I'm over 21 and if I wanted to go with? Of course, I say yes. And walk with him to the car. Behind me I hear jealous cries. Then I go to the bar and drink with Darren, Brian, Joe, Mia, and Charlene. Brian and I fill Darren in on our day and he laughs along with us.

And then I film everyone saying hi to the cuddle puddle crew and put it on facebook. And we all live happily ever after.
