Drumstick!!! I want that too!... I've been wondering how many boardies got it. XD

Richard gave me his drumsticks after the Portland concert!!!  (Sorry for not replying earlier; I was on a little hiatus.)

I had no idea Richard was going to do this.  All I remember is that it was the end of the concert, and he and the rest of the guys came toward the front of the stage to wave good-bye to the crowd.   Then out of nowhere, he whips out the drumstricks, points them at me, and then gives them to me.  It was so SURREAL.  I don't even think I visibly reacted (although inside I was absolutely thrilled and numb at the same time, if that's even possible).  Here's a picture from Annie of the moment.

Not all boardies get them. Who ever gets Rich's attention usually gets them but he doesn't do it every night.

Hmm... I guess I caught his attention because I was holding this sign up in between most songs.  I know he noticed it because he gave me a thumbs up when I waved it around when the crowd sang Happy Birthday.   

When I showed him the sign outside after the gig, he said "I didn't notice the drumkit before".  I didn't realize he was smiling when he said this (the bill of his cap covered his face from my vantage point).  Special thanks to Simona for capturing this moment and the next one where he's autographing the drumsticks.   

As I reflect back on all of this, I can't believe I never actually verbalized "Happy Birthday Richard"!  I don't know why I become mute or monosyllabic at these moments.  If I ever have the good fortune to meet him again, I have to muster up the courage to chit-chat. 

Does anyone else have an "OMG Richard gave me his drumsticks" story? 

 

 

Wow, thank you SO much Karleu for sharing it!!! =D That's a big dream coming true and great experience!!! I guess that your heart beats faster when Richard walking close, gave you the drumsticks! XD And your sign for his birthday is beautiful!!! It's so nice of him being taken the pic!!! =D

I hope I can talk to Richard one day, since most fans who met him said that he is SO kind a person, also full of sense of humor!!! (To tell you the truth, I came across him at airport, but at the same time, Tim was walking on the other side!!! I almost...went insane...My legs wanted to go to where Richard stood, but my heart kept me waiting for Tim...GOD!)

I may sound irritating but...I REALLY would appreciate you not to CROP or cut off fan's pictures,
or if you prefer, next time I can post it like that...

but thanks for all updates and nice photos.

^^Sorry Simona!...I didn't know you took it, I can't remember where I found it without the watermarks, but I didn't crop it, I swear...Sorry again.( I actually thought it was a 2007 pic, instead of 2009 )

And thanks for the pic PAT, I really love it...!!!!!

I'm bringing this pic today ( I admit I dont know who took it or where, just found it on the net...)

Ohhh Simona, you crack me up!
I knew that pic looked familiar. I can spot yours so easily for some reason
I have to agree with you tho Simona, that's why I put my watermark near the middle of the pics
