the downtown at farmingdale ny 7/25/2003 – fan account below

“Jack saved my spot and I walked over to the merch tables and who do I see?

Frank Iero the only member of MCR I haven’t met yet.

I walk up to Frank and give him a little tap…

Frank: Hey man whats up?
Drew: Nothing Frank, you know your the only one I havent met?
Frank: Really dude? Shit! Whats your name!?
Drew: Im Drew. Haha, yeah lemme get a picture Frank?
Frank: Of course!!

Drew: Shit thanks Frank!
Frank: Aw man its really no problem!
Drew: Could you do me a favor tonight?
Frank: Sure Drew.
Drew: My good friend is here tonight and two of his really good friends tickets tonight but they couldnt make it tonight. Their names are John and Nick, and I was wondering if you could dedicate "Vampires Will Never Hurt You” to them?
Frank: Of FUCKIN course Drew!
Drew: Sweet Frank, rock for me tonight.
Frank: That wont be a problem at all!

Ah man, Frank is fucking so nice. Their all so nice. It blows my mind how a band can give so much back to their fans. But then what happened next almost blew my mind…

After talking to Frank Im looking at some stuff on the wall when I feel someone tap my shoulder and IT IS RAY TORO.…

Ray: Heyyy Drew hows it going!!!
Drew: Holy shit! Hey Ray its good!
Ray: Thats good to hear Drew, thanks for coming out again! Jesus how many times have you seen us now?
Drew: Haha, this is only my 3rd Ray, but their coming rapidly.
Ray: Alright man! Thank you so much.
Drew: No problem Ray, Ill talk to you later rock on tonight!

Whew. That blew my mind. I didnt go up to Ray, Ray came up to me. And remembering my name after nearly a month? I thought I was going to faint.

I went back to my spot in the front and told Jack that Frank was going to do the dedication. Jacks eyes blew up to the size of sausages and he started to thank me like crazy. Its really not hard, all i had to do was ask!“
