http://www.avrilbandaids.com/forums/best-d...r-birthday.htmlaquí está la "explicación" de los fans de cómo fue el "encuentro" y hay fotos con Deryck también. No lo traduzco porqué lo entiendo por encima, no exactamente todo.
Pero así por encima dicen que Avril super atenta a lo que le decian, estubieron hablando un rato largo. Avril les explicó cómo seria mas o menos el video de Hot, estará ambientado en la moda de hace unos años, no habrá baile... (que alivio...) y bueno también hablaron de la gira, al parecer empieza a finales de febrero y será mas grande que las anteriores (tambiñen lógico). Y poca cosa mas, tambiñen les preguntó sobre el funcionamiento de la web y les explicó lo que le regaló Deryck para su cumpleaños...
Si es cierto todo lo que comentan... fue genial ese encuentro!! =)
(la pongo aquí también...)
Meeting With Avril
Cone went over to the Sum 41 tour bus and the door opened. I saw a blonde girl walk in to the bus, and I knew it was Avril. There were people blocking her, and we were far away, so Sharifa and Katie didn't see her. Cone and the Sum 41 Tour Manager exchanged words for a few minutes, and then we watched two people get off the bus.
Avril and Deryck approached us. They were holding hands and cuddling close together. We were a hundred feet away, and Avril waved to us as she came over. We introduced ourselves to both Avril and Deryck. Avril gave us all hugs, and I gave a pretty gangster handshake to Deryck. Avril asked how we were doing and we wished her a Happy Birthday.
I started telling Avril about the Scrapbook I put together for her from the Bandaids Staff. Her and Deryck listened to everything I had to say. I handed it to her, and she was in awe. She thanked us and told us how much she loves getting scrapbooks from us, adding that she couldn't wait to read the whole thing through on the bus. That made me really excited. For those of you who think Avril doesn't care to read your stuff, think again. She was so kind about it and thought it was great. Then we gave her the framed poster of the Top Ten Sings You're An Avril Lavigne Freak. She of course thought they were funny. Av really enjoyed getting these gifts from us. You could tell how grateful she was.
We ended up talking to Av and Deryck for 15 minutes. I found myself going on and on, because when I get going, I don't shut up. You may have noticed that in this thread. Avril loved hearing everything I had to say. Deryck seemed very interested in Avril Bandaids. He asked us how our site was run and how many staff members there are. Avril admitted that she sucks at computers but likes visiting.
Sharifa asked her about the Hot video and surprisingly, she told us about it! This is exclusive information, because she's never even mentioned it before. She told us that she approved the video earlier that day for release and that we'd be seeing it by early next week, I think. Avril said that it takes place on a Red Carpet and it's very old fashioned but still hip. I asked her if it would be anything like the Girlfriend video, and she said it'd not going to be as dancy as that. After that she showed us a tiny little dance move she does throughout the video. She does this thing where she raises her arm, like in the Girlfriend video when she says "damn precious". I don't really know how to explain it, but she showed us and let out a huge giggle.
I told her how much we were looking forward to her tour next year. This is also some exclusive information that she gave us. She confirmed that the tour would start at the end of February. Avril said that she's hiring a production manager for the tour, because it's going to be bigger and better than ever. The show is going to packed with plenty of dancing and a lot of changes. She assured us that it would be better than ever. I asked her if she had any ideas as to who might open for her. She told us that someone from Nettwerk showed her a band and she thought they were okay. She forgot the name of them and tried to ask Deryck, but he was busy at the time, so she said "It's somthing starting with boys or something like that". So I asked if it was Boys Like Girls and she said "Yeah that's it!". She also told us that on Wednesday, she was thinking about how cool it would be to bring Lil Mama on tour with her. She said she hasn't even mentioned that to anybody yet, so we were the first she told that to. She did say that Lil Mama doesn't have an album out yet, so she's not sure if it would work. This part of the conversation got me extremely excited for the tour.
I asked her the most random question. She was wearing this really awesome piece of jewelry. It was a gold necklace with a huge gold cassette tape at the end. I was thinking that she had worn it on TRL (I had mistaken it for another similar piece of jewelry she has), so I asked her if she did wear it then. She said, "No actually Deryck just got this necklace for me for my birthday. I saw it in Japan and really wanted to buy it, and he remembered so he bought it for me. He's the best." It was so cute how she described it. It shows us all just how much their relationship has blossomed.
She asked us where we were all from, and was really interested in us. I was amazed to see how she didn't treat us as regular old fans; she didn't treat us as staff from her unofficial fansite; and she didn't treat us as if she didn't care. She treated us as if we were her friends. She smiled the entire time and laughed and giggled. She made eye contact with whoever was talking, and listened to what they had to say. It was great to see how much she cared about us. She was talking to Sharifa about her education while Katie and I were talking to Deryck and getting pictures with him. At the end of the conversation, she remembered that Sharifa hadn't gotten a picture with Deryck yet, and asked Deryck to take a picture with her. It was really cute that she actually remembered that. It shows us all how much she cares.
If there's one thing I want you to take away from this experience you're reading, it would be to not judge Avril's personality before you've seen it. She cares deeply about her fans and the Bandaids community and made that perfectly clear to us. This was the best experience of my life, and it's something I won't soon forget. I hope you all have the chance to meet Avril someday. Even if you don't get the chance to hang out with her for fifteen minutes, atleast you'll get to see how wonderful of a person she truly is. If you have any questions, post them here or send me a PM. I might have left some stuff out, cause a lot happened. I hope you all can live vicariously through our experience.
