I'm 3 years younger than Arejay in college at Wilkes University, so I'm a diehard Stormchaser from northeast PA. I found out about the band by accident when they had only released One and Done, but within about a year I'd seen them 6 times. I love talking to them on twitter and any other diehard Haleraisers too, so check me out. I'm @a4a13z1

Drums, PA

Favorite: Halestorm
2nd: Breaking Benjamin, Nickelback, Theory of a Deadman
Others: Three Days Grace, Chevelle, Sick Puppies, Rev Theory, Skillet, Adelitas Way, Shinedown, Puddle of Mudd, Hinder, Crossfade, Foo Fighters, Green Day, Red, Burn Halo, Saving Abel, Seether, etc...I'm open to about anything in any genre but those are my favorites

home, the hockey rink, the man cave, and especially the Croc Rock (or other venues are good too)

I saw them open for Saving Abel in November of '08 at my first club-style concert (yes, they stole my concert virginity XD). My friend and I were like oh hey they're pretty cool I guess we'll buy their CD. So we got One and Done and jammed to it on the drive home. Then 4 months later a couple of other friends saw them at a top-secret show put on by 979X (the local radio station). Well we got front row and Lzzy and I had eye contact throughout the ENTIRE acoustic version of Familiar Taste of Poison (that's really hard to do - try it someday). I happened to remember them playing that song from the first show after introducing it as a new one. Well I bought their new $5 CD from Detroit that day and DAMN was it good!!! I must've listened to the whole thing at least 10 times that day and the following week. Since that moment I was dying to see them do a real set and a month later I got my wish when they were on the Contagious tour with Trapt & Red. After the show we stayed to meet them and I saw awesome they were as regular people. From that show, I knew they'd be my favorite band for a long time =)

I'm convinced this is what started it all. They wouldn't know me personally if I hadn't thrown the rose that night: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0EFcJL2EKTM

^ Yes, that'd be my name she read XD

After that awesome show my #2 moment was at the meet-and-greet when Lzzy remembered me. I also gave Arejay "the Arejay" (http://twitpic.com/144u3d) and handed over my Flyers party fist to a damn good cause.

And finally the one that I'm still letting sink in weeks later is a post from Lzzy's twitter http://img126.yfrog.com/i/l1ww.jpg/
I didn't even know if she kept it, but that's really cool of her. And if she were to ever read this for whatever reason I really want her to know that it meant A LOT to me that she still has it - or at least did up to a month later.
...Plus she said she loves me =P lol
