(he downtown at farmingdale ny 7/25/2003 – fan account below)

“Ah. The walk outside. Fresh air. I called Jodi overratedantime who lives in COLORADO!!! And we talked for a little bit. MCR was hanging out by their van and packing stuff. I stood at a tree. Watching Gerard. My idol. Cigerate in one hand. Towel over his neck, basking in himself. Talking to two guys from Jersey about where he grew up. Geard. Gerard. GERARD.

I asked Gerard to do my voicemail:

Drew: Hey G, I met you at Knitting remember?
Gerard: Yeah man, whats up Drew?
Drew: Nothing could you record my voicemail?
Gerard: Course, give me 5 minutes.

We went to a dominoes a few feet away and got pizzas. They were subpar. We went back and Gerard recorded my cell phones voicemail:

“Hey youve reached Drew, hes not here right now, leave him a fucking message. This is Gerard from My Chemical Romance.”

Want to hear it? Send me an IM: xPhantomsForever saying your gonna call or call me, and listen to it. If I pick up just tell me who you are and ill just not pick up when you call again. The number: 000.000.0000 Gerard and I talked for 5 more minutes. I was getting to scared to talk to him anymore so I gave a firm handshake and said goodbye as I walked away…Gerard Way.“
