I'm sorry if I sound harsh, but what's wrong with letting a teenager think her hard work meant something to her favorite band?

Ditto.

I agree, that was incredibly uncalled for. Not cool.

Honestly now, was it really necessary to post that?

Tabetha had the time of her life, protected that cake throughout the show and had her shining moment when she presented it to Andy. Your post did nothing more than to shatter her illusion and for what? Alright already, we get it -- you had insider info about the Worcester show and had an all access pass. We gained nothing positive from that revelation and it was nothing more than an attempt to show us how "cool" you are.

Couldn't agree with you more.

...

Tabetha: That was an excellent writeup. Your enthusiasm made me feel like I was right there with you guys. And you met Andy again! Lucky! I am truly jealous, he is just the handsomest man on earth. How's about you show us those pics you took with him

And I don't think Damian minds you touching him, I'm sure he secretly loves it. Why else would he willingly go into a crowd of screaming girls, right?

Thank you, ih7*s and Turdelini , Rocksugar, Theresa, Kay and Letty. You're really, really good friends. I almost cried when I read what you all wrote, because you are all so wonderful and kind and I feel so lucky to count you as my friends, even if we haven't met in person. You're very caring and always fun and sweet. You're some of the most awesome people I've ever met. The warmest, best people in the world are on this forum. Thank you so much. ~hugs to all of you~

Letty- The photo we took with Andy was on my friend's camera. I'll try to get it from her. It was a disposable camera though, so it might not be that great, but if it turns out to be a good shot of him, I'll def'ly post it.

ooo! If you can get it from her I'd like to see it too!

No problem Sally, we all gotta stick up for each other! OK Go fans UNITED! Don't worry about the whole cake thing. I'm sure there was a really huge reasonable reason for it, Andy would never do something like that on purpose. Just think about the experience you had with him that night!

Thanks, Letty! I totally understand if he didn't want it- it was a little squishy from the show, so it probly wasn't that appealing, lol. But I woke up this morning suddenly remembering two more things Damian said during the show. He asked how all the girls in the audience were and then all the guys, and the girls voices came from up front and the guys from in the back- so he said, "Guys, just to let you know, all the girls are up here." The other thing I suddenly remembered was what he said to the person holding the flashlight during the acoustic songs. This I can't remember so well unfortunately, but it was something like, "You're doing a great job honey but Tim and I are going blind. Can you direct the light below our necks?" All I remember definitely is that he used the word "honey," which was sweet, he mentioned Tim and he might have mentioned their necks- I might have added the blind part to connect it all. I wish I had written it down right after the show or something. Hehe, I wish there were a venue somewhere that allow the audience to tape the whole thing- writing it down is as close as I could get, lol. But anyway, it's cute that he called someone "honey."

Edit: Turdelini remembers it better than I do.

Didn't he also say something like, "Tim enjoys going blind but I don't" - not sure, the weekend's kind of a blur now

yeah, you're right! I think that was it. It was cute when he said it. I wish we could've filmed it.

I was surprised to see how many pictures you got! There were so many signs about their "No Camera" policy. It was a shame, I had a great view of the show up front but I also had 3 or 4 WPI "staff" right in front of me.

But I guess we both had fun - and that's all that matters! :-D

I'll admit the wording was a little careless. I submit that I'm guilty only of being careless and not of being intentionally mean. I got to see the cake and it was really great. The WPI kids running the show were so impressed they took it to their after party and the word is it was delicious. So at the very least it didn't go to waste. Clearly its the band's loss for not taking it.

Tabetha,
I want to make up for this in at least some small way. So, if you're willing to accept it, I have a crew pass made up specifically for this show. It says "OK Go' on the top. then the date then "Harrington Auditorium" which of course is the name of the gym. It has a silhouette graphic of the band and the letters "LnL" on the bottom. That's the abbreviation of our sound and lighting club. But the part I think you'd care about are the band's signatures on the back. I know you probably have a ton of stuff signed by the band, but these passes are really rare, even rarer than the VIP or security badges from the show. Anyway, if you'd like, its all yours. Again I know this won't make up for me being insensitive, but its the least I can do to say I'm sorry. Also I can send a CD with a huge amount of pictures my friends took from the show. Think about it.

omg! I don't know what to say- that's very generous of you! I understand you didn't intend to sound mean- don't worry. It's really alright. I feel badly for making you feel badly. You really don't have to give up something like that- that's really an amazing and rare thing and I wouldn't want to make you feel like you should lose it. I mean, that must be one of the most awesome Ok Go things I've ever heard about, and it would be wrong of me to take that away from you. It was a great night, one of the best in my life, and I thank everyone involved with it at WPI for making it possible- the memory is all I need.

@Turdelini- I had to sneak pics and couldn't get much. They turned out to be bad quality, lol. We should totally meet up in the future!

Sally,

Take the crew pass and the CD! He wouldn't have offered if he didn't want you to have it.

wow, I was at this concert and it was just too amazing for words to explain. I definitely saw you two with the free hugs shirts.. I think was actually standing about two people away from you guys.

But anyway, I stood right in front of Andy except the security guard was in between us.. I took exactly 38 pictures even though he told us we couldn't take pictures before the show even started, lol. I can't really remember anything else the band said besides what other people have already posted. Plus, everybody that wrote all those awesome reviews pretty much summed up the whole concert.

Here are the pictures (sorry for the horible quality):

You should have said hi or given us a hug or something!!!! I was sad that I didn't get to meet anyone from the board.

sally gal,

i couldn't agree with theresa more emphatically.....take it girl, you've earned it; he was right to offer it, as i feel an apology was in order....and a very fine apology it is!

Aww, an angel didn't get its wings.

dollarflame6 · April 2007

Theresa, Jackie, Letty- check your inboxes

Tempe Arizona · April 2007

The lads wouldn't intentionally leave your yummy cake behind. Andy was probably in a hurry and had a lot of things going on at once, put down what he was holding for just a moment, and then forgot. Happens to us all. I say, take the crew pass! Damian would want you to
