I’m not into goodbyes

dear followers, friends and fellow EA fans,

Well, this is it. this is the blog i have been dreading. if you haven’t guessed this is my farewell to this book. it’s been fun, it’s been awesome, & it’s been amazing.

i guess i should start this off with how thing went down last night. Autumn and i had VIP so while we were waiting before we got taken in for the sound check with mayday we seen some awesome girl named Molly from fearless. we pulled her aside and showed her the book and she offered to go and get them/ find them for us and vowed to stay hush about it. so she leaves and comes back and says their playing football. before we know it we were taken out to the stage for the sound check, mayday was amazing. after the check they guys in mayday came down for the meet and greet with Mayday, Dennis came walking by so we pulled him aside and said we have the surprise we’ve been tweeting about and told him it was his job to get all the guys together for they wouldn’t get it. while we were meeting the guys, i looked over and he managed it get 3 of them there.  Autumn and i were telling jake about the stache bash and josh and jimmie come out of no where. i stopped them and told them about the surprise and said wait by the bar we’ll be right there after. josh asked why we all were wearing mustaches and i told him it was my stache bash and he took one of the staches and put it on his gutiar and then held it up for me to see! jimmie also took one (the one autumn and i called) and tried to put it on but it wouldn’t stick since he already had one. so after they left to go to the bar, we took the stache bash picture with mayday and then gave them hugs and told them thanks for being goofballs with me for my birthday.

we get to the bar. Dave, Matt and Dennis are missing. i swear to god it took us 15 minutes to find them. we found one, tow others were missing, we find two, the other three would be gone. so we finally found all three and then it happened. the book was given to them. their faces will stay with me forever. when we said that the book was 92 pages, and kids from France, Japan, Indonesia, the Philippines, Australia, and the UK were in there their jaws dropped. they sat there and flipped through every pages. (Karoline, i told dave to read yours!) they were impressed by the I’m a wreck page and loved our back page. as you can tell by the pictures, smiles never left their faces. i was holding back not to cry, but of course josh made me. “I’m so showing my mom this!” is what he said and i started tearing up. it’s such an awesome feeling knowing that we put those smiles on their faces and to know that we did something that they will always remember.they gave us like 346250 hugs and josh made the cutest face when he seen me wiping my tears.

during the show when EA played, autumn and i were standing infront of josh and matt. of course i started crying during Tell me i’m a wreck and at the end of the song, josh came over to me and handed me his pic. matt also threw his pic to me but i gave that to autumn. after the show we seen dennis when i went to go buy my awesome EA hoodie. Dennis gave us hugs and told us that it was such an awesome thing and he was actually showing his parents tomorrow (which is today) when they were in their hometown of Philly.  we seen matt and he told us Josh hogged the book and such. we talked to Josh after and he was speechless; he gave us hugs after hugs and then we moved over to Jimmie to give him his guac and chips i had for him. he also wrote out my tattoo. i think i’m doing his cursive since i didn’t even get dave’s. dave was too busy with his girl friend and some kid that he knew from buffalo and when i called his name he didn’t answer. it doesn’t bother me but it sucked a little.

So first off i’d like to thank my partner in crime, Autumn. without her by my side in this it wouldn’t of gotten anywhere. we’ve gotten so much more closer then we already were and i love that. this book has helped us make so many memories whether it’s getting lost on the way home from Dave and Busters, or trying on goofy hats at party city, to all the stickam chats. Every avenue has brought us together and have made us best friends, but to me she’s like my little sister i never had.  so Autumn, thank you for doing this with me. i had the time of my life making new memories with you and making something for the boys.

second off, i’d like to thank each and every single one of you. Autumn and myself can not say it enough. if it wasn’t for you guys this book wouldn’t of gotten any where. i hope you guys can tell by all their tweets and by the faces in the pictures of how much this book meant to them and how much they smiled. thank you for keeping your word on not saying anything to the guys. they had no idea we did this and had no idea we even made a tumblr. if i could i’d thank each and every single one of you guys, personally. you have no idea how much this book really means to myself, autumn and the boys. you guys should feel proud, awesome and fucking amazing for what you helped us do! so feel free to talk about the book at your shows!

third off i’d like to thank the band. Every Avenue, i thank you for being the band that has helped me gain so many awesome kids to do this with me. i thank you for everything you have ever done not only for me, but for everyone else. you helped me realize that i have so much to live for in my life, and that i should stop wallowing in self pity because of what that one kid said and did to me. you helped me move out of a depressive state and gave me something to look forward to so i could help myself get out of it. you boys think you’re nothing but role models, and you just get drunk and play music  or so says Josh. but in my mind, you mean fucking everything to me. ever since the Man whores tour, i have been to every single show. always front row, always singing your songs. you mean more then tr world to me and i seriously can’t thank you enough.

so to everyone, this is the end. thank you for sticking with us and for helping us out. thank you if you read this whole thing. you mean everything to me. i hope we all stay in contact because you’re all fucking amazing. i don’t care if you live in California, the UK, Aussie, or japan and everything in between. let’s stay friends because you never know what Autumn and I have up our sleeves for the Next EA visit to Buffalo NY.

This is see you later, I’m not into goodbyes.

i can’t say how much i love you guys.

stay awesome, stay in touch and keep being amazing.

For always, Forever

love Courtney & Autumn

Here’s the reaction photos I got yesterday…

The whole day was just wonderful but this 15 minutes we spent talking to them about the book were absolutely amazing and they LOVED it. (I’ll let Courtney tell you the whole story,…she started to cry and then we had a hugfest with the EA boys) If you’re interested, the pictures I took during the Mayday Parade soundcheck and VIP meet & greet will be up on my personal tumblr, we got them to wear false moustaches so I think that you should definitely check them out.

Thanks again to everyone who submitted for making yesterday so incredible!

Much love, Autumn
