A very lucky fan, Theresa sent in her encounter story about meeting Jackson, Ben G, Ben J and Jerad during the Spencer Legacy Show. You can read the awesome story below! Along with this, I’ve added her amazing photos to the gallery and the photos Lydia posted in her review courtesy of Nikki M. Photography! Thanks girls!
A week or so before the spencer bell show i sat down and crocheted 4 hats, one for each of the guys in 100 Monkeys. Its what i do when i get bored. Crotchet i mean. So anyway. I made these hats, and shoved them in my bookbag and hopped on a plane from Jacksonville Florida. The show was awesome, and all through it i’m trying to figure out how i am going to give them these hats since the merch girls that work at Callahans told us that they wernt going to be doing meet and greet time like they do in LA. So i’m comming up with random ideas like tossing them on the stage at them and other silly ideas. All obviously got ruled out. Finally my mom says “why dont you go talk to the guy that has been announcing the bands.” What a great idea she had. So i ask him how i would go about giving something to the guys and he says talk to Mr. Bell. So i talked to him and he tells me he will see what he can do. So the improv set closes and its time to go. My mom and i are strolling around and I’m beginning to think that i will just give them to them in LA or something, next time i go out there. So she goes over and asks Mr. Bell where we can wait to see if I will be able to give the hats to the guys. He totally forgot with so much going on, which is understandable, but he had us sit at this table..and a couple minutes later Chris from Tin Tin Can came over and asked who had the knit hats. And I said i did, so he said Okay, follow me. So mom and i went back and he had us wait outside the offices that they were in that doubled as a backstage area. And then he came back a couple minutes later and we went in. On the way in, one of the guys said “she made us something? What is it?” and someone else said “She made us hats.” So when i got into the back room with them Jerad looked at me and said “You really made us hats?” and i stood there looking at all 4 of them so lost, and just nodded my head. So i took them out one by one, and handed them to each of the guys, Jerad’s black, Ben J’s brown, Jackson’s gray, and Ben G’s blue. They said they loved them and actually stood around talkin to us for about 15 mins. And i told them that I had actually been to two of their shows in LA, and they were like WOW!? So they did a picture with the hats on with my mom and I and random bits of paper for us then we let them be.
