Ok, so me and my friend (pictured) flew to Auckland on a red eye a couple of days before the NZ show. We get off the plane and I wait at the arrivals gate for her to change her contacts and a flight comes in 2 mins later from LA. I look up and see Worm and my heart stops. I’m wearing a shirt with Gerard’s face on it. The whole band walks right past me (Business Class I suppose, so they are first to disembark). I start low key freaking out but try to remain composed and tell my friend that we will most likely be going through security alongside them and see them at baggage. We went through security literally right next to them the whole time and we are trying to keep cool and not look over too much. Everyone is dressed incognito especially Frank who is wearing like 4 layers plus a hat and scarf. Maybe everyone was just a bit chilly.

We um and ah about whether we should approach them and decide that if we walk directly past them than we will stop and say hi. I cover my shirt with an adidas windbreaker (I am now in adidas head to toe) and joke that Gerard will want to talk to me because I look like I listen to Pulp.

We approach and my friend starts talking but they don’t hear so I pipe up with the “hey guuuysss really sorry to bother you” and the whole band turns in unison to look at us and I stg it feels like it's in slow motion. It was really only like a 30 second interaction. I just said how excited we were to see them play live and how thankful we all were that they came all the way down here to play for us. Frank was smiling and was like 'awww thank you'. I told them the last time I saw them play live was 15 years ago and they were like 'whoa right on!' and I believe in that moment that I was clocked by American Rock Band My Chemical Romance. Crazy stuff lol. They were all very polite and smiley. We spent the rest of the day wandering around the city on a high.
