Flash backs of the SP tour JUNE 2012 Marly.....“ I can hardly believe it’s been a year since the SP concert in Melbourne. I keep my memories close to me, literally. Got the photo of Pierre and I custom made into a case for my iPod Touch. I have to say, the concert was one of the best I’ve been to. Meeting Jen and Suzana was a highlight as well, though we didn’t really speak for long. I still fangirl over the moment when Seb mentioned my Collingwood scarf and beanie.” Erin....“June 2012 was my third time meeting/seeing the boys and I was just as nervous/excited as I was the first time. There's something so amazing about being in the presence of these five incredible guys, even when you attend a sound check party with 50+ screaming fans they somehow make you feel like your the only girl in the whole room. The memories of that night will last a life time.” Jen...I fondly remember the time when I was teaching my year 8 class and I set them a task and jumped on the computer to book my tickets for SP. I got the General Admission for the kids and their friends and front row balcony for us oldies. I knew then that it would be a long time waiting for the concert. I was super excited. Nick and I also decided to drive up to Wollongong to see them as well, what is 11 hours driving each way when it means we could see them again? Then to find out a few days before that we were all meeting SP in Melbourne except for one of the teens I was taking that was a bit awkward. I did not sleep the night before, and was so keen to go and meet them. One the way there was a huge traffic jam that we dealt with by screaming SP lyrics out the window. Freaking Out was screamed very loudly! SC and meeting SP was seriously one of the best days ever. EVER! My daughter was pretty annoyed at me that I did not get many good pics as I was so excited that I could not keep my hands steady to take a pic. The boys were so lovely, and the concert really rocked. Then Nick and I took off to drive the 11 hours to Wollongong a few days later. We found out half way that Pierre was sick and that the SC was cancelled. I well just laughed and said oh well not to worry. NOT! I was devastated but we kept driving and luckily Pierre was ok to do the concert. This concert was way better than Melbourne. The merch had so many things to buy and we could get so close to the front. I was in the front row of The Never Ever and I never dreamt that one day I would call them friends. Nick and I had to get money out from the ATM and that was back stage so we got to say hi to Travis from We The Kings. I needed more money for all the merch I bought! That concert was so good, it was weird knowing that all the jokes they did we the same but I did not care. When they were over I cried as I knew that it would be a while until I saw them live again. BEST WEEK EVER! Next time they come I am planning on doing all the concerts! ☺ Yes I have started saving!
