Concert: Rihanna and Kanye

Two days ago I went to the Kanye West, Rihanna concert. N.E.R.D. and Lupe Fiasco were there also. It was a very good concert. There were alot of people and great energy, it was held at the Rose Garden in Portland. I heard and knew almost every song that was performed, so i was jammin all night. I also had the chance to meet Rihanna and Kanye. I have been a fan of theirs since they both came out, but I have had a crush on Rihanna since I first saw her on TV. When I met her i froze up. I had all this great stuff in my head about what i was gonna say to her, but none of it came out. I ended up saying the cheeziest thing ever: "umm, who are you," I could of punched myself. Her beauty did that to me though. She is nice and when i get that picture i will blow it up and put it in my room. Hopefully i could meet her again and not freeze up. When i went back to our suite i watched her with binoculars and didn't look at nothing else. After coming down from cloud 9 from seeing her perform and meeting her, Kanye West had a unbelievable performance, so that ended the best concert i ever been to.

  Greg this is awesome o hear. I went at the United Center in Chicago with decent seats. I was lucky enough to get seats for Moline, IL. coming up on the 12th. 6th row. they hadnt been selling i'm assuming cause of the location but it looks like its picking up. so the best concert ever for me just got multiplied by ten since i'll be in the 6th row goin bananas. it wwas amazing... 15,000 in the crowd hands up for every song.

  Oh man, I'm jealous. I wanted to go to that show but I had to work. A friend of mine went and she said it was crazy good. :(
  
  Sounds like you had fun though.

  your honesty is refreshing. keep it real, greg, that is your charm. don't change. just don't act like a p*ssy when you put on that black and red. i want you to rip kobe and lebron's heart out in the paint.
  
  you are a beast. look in the mirror and say, "my name is Greg ODen and i am a raging beast!"
  
  GO BLAZERS. LAKERS AND THEIR FANS CAN SUCK A FATTY.

  You know, Greg, alot of people probably feel the same way about meeting you!
  Rihanna is quite amazing though. She's tall too from what I've heard. You guys would make a cute couple! Did you get the digits?

  Rihanna's cool. That same show came to Sac, but I didn't go see it. Glad you did though, and you met her. Go for her!

  I went to the concert too with my cousin. He has season tickets and when I am lucky enough takes to some games. That concert was crazy. It was the best one I have ever been. I have been Kanye fan since he came and we went when he was here for the Touch The Sky tour. He was a million times better. I hope he makes a live album or puts out a dvd of it. Others could learn a lot from him. Did you hear that they crashed the Dialated Peoples and Kanye was on their until like 2 am. It would have been great to be at both.

  I went to that Concert to, i think the Glow In The Dark tour is one of the best out there. Sadly, I went to the one at Arco arena, I know that you will be playing there for the Blazers soon, and i gotta say...its a pretty crappy place. No offense to Sac of course :P
  but i was dying when kanye sat on stage, an Journey's song came on...Rihanna looked hot too! haha. Big ups

  My friend told me about this concert last weak, man I didn't go but I wish I did. I got Rhianna's umbrella video on my comp, damn she is so bomb. A couple years ago when her first album came out she was jsut walking at Pioneer Place downtown shopping and not that many people knew who she was. No she is a super star. You're so lucky to meet her, I don't know what I would do.

  It's nice to know you are still star struck too! I saw you late one night downtown as you were walking and I was in my car at a stop light. I completely geeked out when I saw you and instead of saying something normal (or nothing at all) I yelled "Go Blazers" at you and drove away. Sorry about that; I was just so excited it was you!

  talk about star-struck. i recently met mr. greg oden in indy. i won a contest and got to spend a little time shooting hoops with him. i'm a 44-year-old man and a huge ohio state fan. a huge greg oden fan. i had hundreds of questions i wanted to ask. i even had a few tips that an old man should pass on to a younger man. but all i could say was, "i'm gonna beat you at basketball." doh! of course, greg made me look like i was shooting a square ball.
  but i must say that i was truely impressed with greg. not only his obvious baketball skills but with his actions as a decent human being. he is very friendly. he went above and beyond what i ever could have hoped for. a true gentleman. very mature. very intelligent. a sense of humor that kept everybody involved very loose and comfortable. he is someone that his momma should be very proud of. in short, a good person. thank you, greg. and good luck in your future, both personally and with the trailblazers. go portland!
  hope to see you in new orleans at a hornets game,
  eddie & salina

  Greg, here is a funny story. Just found a LN basketball that you signed for my son when you were a senior in my garage. The boys had been playing with it and everything is worn off. i asked my son why he used this special ball and he said the other one was flat and he couldn't find the pump. Oh well, at least he is playing ball.
