If you know me you'll be aware that I might be a slight fan of a band called Rise Against.<br><br>Well this weekend was Warped Tour UK, where they headlined the Saturday and Sunday they were on before Enter Shikari. So in all that's fantastic for me - seeing them perform twice in a weekend just to add to the 7-8 or so times I've already seen of them.<br><br>So Saturday I checked out the merch market and I got myself a RA tshirt. Today I decided to maybe see if they would have new stock (which they didn't), so by luck I walk by a tent that had a sign up: 6pm Rise Against. Words cannot describe how excited I was by this idea, although part of me was a bit concerned that I would miss the queue or be too far along for them to let me see them.<br><br>But thankfully luck was still on my side as I got in the queue and after an hour and a half of waiting I finally got to meet, talk to and get autographs in person from Rise Against.<br><br>I was nearly one of those annoying little fan girls that cries when meeting a band, but I just about held it together. But I probably had the biggest, goofiest smile on my face. But I've been listening to them since 2005, so this was a dream come true. They signed me! Well one of my many RA tshirts that I was wearing at the time, and signed a card for me. If I knew they would do a signing I would have brought one of their CDs with me to sign.<br><br>Then after the signing they were to perform at 8:30pm, and I managed to find a spot on the barrier but I would have to sacrifice being able to see Billy Talent, and had to be in the main crowd for Coheed and Cambria which was lame! But was worth being at the front, slightly squished, singing my heart out! <br><br>Just after getting my top/card signed, so I was walking away from the table:<br><img src="
