Monday I was waiting to see if I was picked to go meet Gwen Stefani, and only 6 people could go from my work, but then it dropped to only 4 that day.  Tuesday I found out I was picked to go, and I was excited to the fullest.  It started a string of fun times throughout the week and on Friday, June 22, I met Gwen Stefani!!!  It was awesome!  Too bad her people brought her out a little late, so I didn't have time to talk to her...or take individual pictures either :(  .  I had a blast because after meeting and taking group pictures with her, I had my Sweet Escape CD manual and CD signed, and I also received tickets on the lawn of the amphitheatre.  It was great.  Except that I volunteered to explore and go on a food run for my coworkers, and I ended up having to take four sets of food up the entire hill.  Luckily I yelled, "Can I get a hand?!?" and a few ladies carrying their own beers felt sorry for me and helped me out.  I told them I met Gwen Stefani and they almost dropped my food.  But I made it safely back to the lawn to enjoy the concert.  I missed most of Lady Sovereign's opening, but it didn't matter.  Just like Akon's song.  I saw him just before seeing Gwen, but I didn't take any pictures because I knew he needed his alone time/privacy because he was talking to someone on the phone I guess.  The night went great but I missed the encore/ending...with No Doubt's reunion!!!  Aww well...otherwise the night was perfect!  Performances, the evening, the lights, my friends/co-workers, and all the drunk people I'd ever seen.  Even a line of women entering the men's restroom.  That was classic.  :)
