Alan Doyle gives hugs? So, what do you do, just ask him? Do the others give hugs?

I'll be Raine's vocal coordinator, or something like that. I'll coach him before concerts and (in particular) TV appearances so that he isn't horribly off-key when he performs. And I will convince him that the majority of his fans liked the way his voice sounded before Bob Rock got to it. Yes I will.

Aerin, my name is Alana, but I'm better known as Amethyst online. I like your name. It has an unusual spelling.

Aerin...so where's my title, eh?

You can be Raine's Virtual Assistant.

I don't know what that means, I made it up. Job description's up to you. Be creative.

I'll be the weather reporter, since I listen to OLP mostly when it rains...and if it rained Raine, I'd be very happy.

AERIN,
I allready have a title. MISTRESS and don't forget it.
post pictures of Raine. Okay you asked for it.

this next song goes out to all in the MAFIA. It is called RBY(get it Mafia, Mafia-okay that was cheesy)

Raine: Hi, yes I know I am SEXY
Gail: OH ShUT up and just take the damn photo.

now repeat after me. I promise to love, honor and cherish everything RAINE MAIDA does.

I'm too SEXY for my shirt, yeah my shirt and I 'm too SEXY for this song.

it isn't easy being me. ALL the girls screaming my name. being constantly being told I am sexy, wait what the hell am I complaining about.

OKAY now you have what would you say when you meet Raine. I have to tell you guys that when I first met Raine it wasn't a big deal to me. I never thought of him or knew he was a sex symbol. I didn't even know his name. I just loved the music and wanted to see the band live. It wasn't like it is now or like it was in Canada at the time.Only that he was the singer for OLP. I didn't know thier individual names. I only knew the band name and the songs. These girls there( there were only 4 of us there) asked me if I could take a picture of them with Raine. I was okay which one is he. He was the first one out so the girls said that guy there is Raine. I walked over and said I, I thought you guys rocked and asked if they had any plans to return to NYC. He told me they were coming back in a few weeks. We took photos and that was that. the next time I met him I knew his name and said Hi. The 3rd time I met him he sort of remembered me from the before. YOu see in 1997/1998 nobody wwas really waiting to meet the band. I really was the only fan there so they remembered me. But the best for me was when I went to Philly in 1998. they were playing with third eye blind. I went down. I saw Raine and was talking to him. He asked me if I was coming to the show and I told him I didn't have a ticke.t He said you do now. Give me your name and I'll put you on the list and it has been history ever since. the firs ttime he called me by name was Feb 2000 when I came up to Canada for the Blister shows. I remember the first time they all called me by name. here is the photo from the first time I met OLP. It is a group shot because I didn't know who was who. Who would of thought I be where I am today with them. WOW is all I can say.

gail-OLP NYC 9/97

why helloooo there... well, you said everyone was automatically a member.. i guess that means me, too! yay.

about meeting him... i sort of did. someone said they find it more difficult to talk to celebrities they have a crush on? its the complete opposite for me. you know mad child from swollen members? the dead sexy one? i met him, i had a conversation with him, all is well. now, on to raine maida. after 5 years of respecting and admiring him, i got to meet him. it was completely different, because it was someone i look up to. i was so nervous and scared. i could barely talk, my friend said i was squaking. its too true, though.

anywho. i need a title!!

anyone have suggestions? what does raine need convincing or help with? lol

I find it difficult to talk to any celebrities. i am totally intimidated by famous people. When olp were at MOD and the edge in July, i didn't say anything to them and didn't ask for any pics. My friends got so annoyed that they just pushed me into Steve in order to get a pic with him.

And the day of the MMVA's, my friend and i were walking down town and we saw the guys from sum 41 and i was too scared to say anything so we just followed them for like 20 minutes, then i felt like we were stalking them, so we stopped. I am so hopeless
