Now like I knew Joe would be there cause he was on the set list but what I wasn’t expecting to actually talk to him. Or being near him at all. So when he spent the whole concert pretty much sitting next to me at the bar I lost my shit.

So first off, I’m sitting eating dinner and my friend texts me that she sees Joe and I’m like lol where and this happens

I turn around, there’s Joe Iconis and Rob Rokicki like a foot away from me. I freak out. Then Joe turns around and RECOGNIZES ME. He’s like “Dani hi! so good to finally see you in person” and I basically say the same thing back and I’m just like absolutely losing my shit because Joe freaking Iconis just recognized me.

The rest of the night we don’t really talk but he’s just like chilling next to me while I’m trying to act normal and watch the concert. Then he did his set with Seth and they did Party Hat and Son of a Gun. I’m freaking out cause Party Hat is like one of my absolute favorite songs. When he comes back over, I tell him that and that I never thought I’d see it performed live to which he responds something along the lines of “I’m so glad the song found you!” which almost made me cry.
