Kelly D Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Jack Black was one section over from my Rush Rat friend and me on Sunday, July 1st when we saw Roger Waters perform the Wall at Fenway Park in Boston, MA! When he was spotted a huge crowd gathered to take photos. I decided to refrain from being that crass and instead show him my Rush girly sulfur alchemy symbol shirt that I brought with me, knowing he's a huge Rush fan. It was a no-brainer! He was with his Tenacious D bandmate, Kyle Gass, but no one seemed to care about poor KG :'( They both seemed pretty resigned to their respective fates. The crowd dispersed after a few minutes after a random woman tried telling the people it was just a Jack Black impersonator. After a minute I went over to him and said, "Jack!" and showed him my shirt. He didn't say much to me- he smiled in appreciation, pressed a finger to his lips, then extended a finger to me, like E.T. We touched fingers in mutual appreciation of the Holy Triumvirate, he said, "You're wonderful. Love ya, baby," blew me a kiss, and we both returned to our seats. Luckily my friend who took me to the concert got photos!!! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v283/dancingdays/random/JB_KDjpg.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shreddy Lee Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Wow, that's pretty cool. Based on the pictures in your sig, it seems like you've been pretty damn lucky when it comes to encounters like that. And I have to ask - and sorry for probably being late on this one - but are you the girl I keep noticing the camera cuts to in the front row when I'm watching the Time Machine concert? Because if you are, once again, lucky! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put many of us other TRFers in that same seat and I'd guess we wouldn't be on camera too many times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that mean that Alex isn't going to pull me out of the crowd so he can give me a big hug and have my picture taken with him and give me a bunch of cool stuff?

driventotheedge Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Hey Kelly, congrats on meeting Jack. Seems like he was very cool. . . . Now for a far more important question: How did you like The Wall? I ask cuz I was absolutely freaking blown away when I saw it in Portland on May 22nd. How were your seats? I had 12th row floor which certainly didn't hurt. It compared very favorably with being in the front row for Rush last summer. . . . I'm really hoping Roger will go on for another year so as to get a chance to see it again.

I saw it twice- inside at the XL Center in Hartford in 11th row and then outside at Fenway in about 19th row- ugh it was INCREDIBLE!!! Such a feast for the eyes and ears!

I felt like my location (and yours too I'm guessing) was pretty much ideal....far enough back to see everything, close enough to well, see everything.
