as i read on twitter from the concert promoter (@lamcproductions) and other fans, it suggested that the band were doing some sort of meet&greet with fans at noon and by the time i realised that it was happening, i only had five minutes to get ready to head on down to try and spot them!
this was what's been tweeted..

| 'NEON TREES doing a photo shoot now. Guess where?' - @lamcproductions |
i did what i had planned on doing - head on down to the diesel store.
thankfully, the awesome foursome were still in-store and they were not only taking photos and signing autographs for the winners who got to meet them, but they were also shopping at the same time! talk about multi-tasking!! HA HA!!
the doors to diesel were left opened and when the drummer, elaine, turned and saw me, she smiled. and the next thing i know, she was outside, talking to me and saying how nice it was to see me again!! and then she started S.I.N.G.I.N.G. 'daniel' by bat for lashes and said that that was one of her favourite songs of all time. trust me, i died.
then i waited for the whole event to be over, and while waiting, the band took more photos for diesel and here's what i snapped ha ha
and after about an hour and a half after the event started, the band walked out of the store. first it was tyler. he walked out and walked straight to me with 'hello daniel! nice to see you again!' and a hug. then with my camera on my hand, he asked 'another picture?' i nodded and started taking the photo ha and after that, he shouted 'guys, wait up, daniel needs another photo. he wants individual shots today!' yes, he did that! HA HA! how lovely and sweet, isnt he? and did i mention that brenden and chris remembered me too? AND, ELAINE SAID 'DANIEL'S MY FAVOURITE'!! O.M.G, indeed!!
and here are the photographs..
