We received an e-mail from a very giddy and excited Canadian Twilighter a few days ago, who shared the amazing details of her experience meeting Jackson Rathbone at an 100 Monkeys concert this week! Bev wanted to share her story with all you other Canadian Twilighters out there. Maybe you can pick up a few pointers 😉

When Bev found out that 100 Monkeys was going to be playing near her, she was ecstatic and her and her husband Dave went in early to make sure they could snag some seats up front. Her husband went to chat with Jackson asking if it was alright to take a quick shot with Bev, and he suggested staying after the show to take a subtle picture.

Around 11:30-ish pm, I was walking to the washroom when I saw Kellan Lutz coming in. He was such a hunk. Then I was by the bar waiting to order some drinks when I saw 5-6 of the cast beelining it outside. They were all holding hands to make sure they can get through the crowd. Jackson was at the front, followed by (not in order) Kellan, Taylor Lautner, and I think Kristen Stewart and Nikki Reed. Or possibly Ashley Greene. I’m not sure; they were walking fast. They walked right by me and I was just so happy to see them all.

But Bev patiently waited until the end of the show so she could go and chat with Jackson, who she longed to meet the most.

I went up and introduced myself, shook his hand and told him I was a huge fan. I think I held onto his hand the whole time I chatted with him heehee =) I said to him: “It’s so nice to meet you, my name is Bev, I’m a huge fan, you do awesome work, I hope you’re having a good time in Vancouver.” He was sooo nice and sweet =) We chatted for a bit, I honestly don’t remember all the details it was soooo surreal and I was soooo lost in his deep blue-green eyes and soft Southern drawl and he just had such a nice, calming, serene presence around him. We talked about the show a bit, I kept saying: “You guys were soooo awesome tonight!!!” He introduced me to his band member; at this point Dave was talking to them as well. Then I leaned in and asked in his ear: “Is it OK if I get a picture with you?” and he goes: “Yeah for sure.”

But then these 3 girls came and started talking to him. So I waited patiently and started talking to this girl beside me. The 3 girls kepy chatting with him, but once in a while he’d look my way, our eyes would meet and we’d share a smile, and I’d tell him with my eyes it’s OK I’ll wait til the girls leave before i get my picture.

Finally they left, so I went up to him again and said: “Can I get that picture now?” And he said: “Yeah!” So I waved Dave over and he came with the camera. I chatted with him for a little bit, about their band being based in LA, etc, etc… Then I knew it was time for goodbye. So I said: “Can I ask for a hug?” And he smiled and was like: “Yeah for sure!” And he gave me a nice big warm hug it was sooo sweet =)

[Thanks to Bev for the story!]
