People know that I went to Rock Fest Barcelona because Alter Bridge and next band behind is super famous Aerosmith. In order to get the front row, I arrived there around 3 and waited for 6 hours under burning sun then finally got the front row of extended small stage in the center.

AB started to play around 8:50 but unfortunately they only played in big main stage but not move for a bit. I felt so frustrated and nervous at that time frankly to say.... Then after eight songs done, 45 mins passing by, Alter Bridge performed "Metalingus", Myles finally stepped out and walked to the small stage then saw my sign, smiled and threw a yellow pick to me that I am waiting for long time but cannot get anyhow....

The video recorded the moment Myles saw me (0'06") and throw the yellow pick to me (0'11") 

Words cannot describe how I felt at that moment but eager to cry … really... Then "Rise Today" begins that means the show comes to the end, I recorded the song only far from main stage but that's a kind of special memory for me.

The surprised thing is that after they come back and throw picks to others, Myles just put setlist on the ground, get it to the small ball then walked through the extended line to the small stage, looked at me, then threw to me (of course I got it ).

Then Flip also walked step by step and come to small stage, saw me with smile then slightly threw the drumstick to me...(actually it's still fall to the ground but security picked up and gave to me). This is my first ever drumstick in my life and it's from my favorite band!!!!!! 

I know that it's extremely hard to get something from the band in festival but I got everything (pick. Drumstick. Setlist) this time! I cannot thank my favorite band - Alter Bridge more but how nice they treat fans like this and always great and humble, creating amazing songs and fabulous performances. ❤

Even though I got terrible things happened this time, got my hands hurt in Luxembourg and wallet stolen by pickpocket but everything will get better in the end.

All ends well ❤
