Frequently Asked Questions:Q: Do you know Red Jumpsuit Apparatus? A: Why, yes, I do.Q: Are you, like, friends with them or something? A: Yeah.Q: How long have you been going to their shows? A: Since April 8, 2005.Q: So you've been a fan since before they were signed? When did you hear the news? A: Yup. Joey called us the night they signed their record deal. I had to keep quiet about it until the next afternoon because they were announcing it on the radio. I was so excited I thought I was going to spontaneously combust.Q: When did RJA get signed? A: October 27, 2005 (Jon's Birthday)Q: Have you really seen them 64 times? A: Yes, we road trip to a lot of other states to see our boys. As for that "1/2" of a show, I had to sit in the car outside the parking lot of the venue in Fort Walton Beach because it was an 18+ show and I was only 17. But I heard the set, so it counts as at least half : )Q: How far have you traveled to see them? A: Mom and I have traveled AT LEAST 31,715 miles to see Red Jumpsuit Apparatus.Q: Weren't there some other guys in the band before Joey and Jon? A: Yes, Dorman Pantfoeder played drums and Thomas Amason was on guitar. Duke used to play bass. I actually have Dorman's set list from the last show that Dorman and Thomas played with RJA : )Q: Wait...Duke used to play bass??????? A: Yes.Q: When did Joey and Jon join RJA? A: Joey and Jon played their first show with RJA at Freebird on July 23, 2005.Q: How did you become friends with them? A: Joey worked at FYE in the mall, and we were there buying tickets to concerts all the time. He knew who we were, and came and talked to us after he played his first show with the guys. We've been buds ever since. It took a while for everyone to remember us at first, but needless to say, we're all on a first-name-basis now.Q: Can you give me their phone numbers? A: No.Q: Can you tell (Joey/Ronnie/Elias/Jon/Duke) *insert message here*? A: You'd be well off just to message them on Myspace on their personal pages. They do indeed read their messages.Q: Are you related to any of the band members? A: No, but they feel like family.Q: I found your page on Red Jumpsuit's top friends list. How did you and your Mom get on there? A: RJA's Manager Steve Tramposch put us up there. Steve is a pretty cool dude : )Q: I like your Red Jumpsuit pictures in your photobucket. Can I use them? A: Yes, IF you give me credit. I don't mean to sound mean, but I'm a bit protective of my photos. I know people enjoy seeing the photos, and that's why I've linked my photobuckets on my page, but just try and be considerate. Just a simple mention of my name or my myspace URL is sufficient.Q: Who are all those other people I see hanging around with the band? A: Their Manager is Steve. Their Tour Manager is Casey. Their Merch Girl is Staci (Ronnie's wife). Their Guitar Tech is Phil (One of Elias and Joey's good friends). Their Drum Tech is Nate. Their Bus Driver is Smooth.Q: How did Phil join the crew? A: When we were in Ohio to see RJA in March of 2006, Joey introduced us to Phil. Phil was a friend from back home who was (as I interpreted it) abducted from home and taken on the road for a couple of shows just to hang out. He didn't even bring his passport (I still wonder how they got him into Canada!). Phil came out for those few shows, and I've never seen a show without him since then.Q: Was Justin Sims always their manager? A: Not always, I remember back in the day, Justin used to be a fan on the front row at the Backbooth singing every word to RJA's songs. Then he started doing merch sometimes. Then he took over the reigns as TM.Q: Where is Justin Sims now? A: Sims is currently drum teching for the band Operator. Dorman Pantfoeder, who used to be the drummer in RJA, is the drummer in Operator : )Q: So if Justin wasn't their first tour manager, who was? A: Lee Miles. He is an amazing guy who will pretend he's your Uncle so that you'll be able to get into that 18+ Spring Break show in Panama City, even though you're only 17 : O He'll also work his TM magic to get you in the green room when you have guest list issues at The Tonight Show ; )Q: Can you get me on the guest list? A: That's not my job. If you are supposed to be on their list, you'll know who you need to contact.Q: Can you get me backstage? A: Again, that's not my job.Q: Are you really from Middleburg? A: Seriously people, If I was gonna lie about where I was from, I would NOT say I was from Middleburg! Yes, I am from Middleburg FL, where Bubba trucks and horses are likely to outnumber humans, and the most exciting place is Super Wal-Mart.Q: Did you go to school with any of the guys? A: Joey and Elias (and Phil!) went to my high school (Ridgeview High School). They graduated 2 years before me. Ronnie and Duke went to Middleburg High School. Jon (and Nate!) went to Douglas Anderson School of the Arts.Q: I was standing beside you at a show and it looked like they made eye contact with you...WERE THEY LOOKING AT YOU? *Stares at me with evil look on face* A: It's happened before. Possibly ; )Q: Are you the same Megan that Joey thanks in the liner notes? A: Yup, and my mom is Lynn. Joey's sneaky like that : PQ: Are they nice in person? A: They are some of the nicest guys I have ever known in my entire life.Q: If I were in Middleburg or Orange Park, where would I be likely to run into the guys? A: The Orange Park Mall, AMC Orange Park 24 Theater, Super Wal-Mart in Middleburg/Fleming Island and Wal-Mart in OP. Yes, they are normal people who go to the mall, go to movies, and go to Wal-Mart (I kid you not...At Wal-Mart I have seen: Ronnie once, Staci twice, Joey once, Duke once, Duke's Mom once...*and the funny thing is, Duke's Mom recognized US!*) Those are pretty much the only places to go in Middleburg/OP, so that's where you'll run into everyone you know : )Q: I was at a local show in Jax, and I thought I saw one of the guys. Was it them? A: Probably. They go to local shows all the time when they're home.Q: I heard Ronnie's brother is in a band. What band is he in? A: Ronnie's brother Randy is in the band Veronica's Veil.Q: If I wanted to bring them beer, what type should I get them? A: Bud Light or Jager ; ) *I'm only mentioning this because Elias mentions in the mtv.com interview that we brought them beer, but I had nothing to do with that. I wasn't even at the show that they're referencing. It was all Mom and Lindsey and Lynette and Lisabeth*...To be Continued

Movies:

Well, the name's Megan. The middle name is Ashleigh if you care to know. I have seen The Real Thing 15.5 times, spent 90.5 hours behind the sound board, and I AM DONE WITH THE REAL THING! *but it kinda makes me sad to be done with it!* I'm a Graduate of Ridgeview High School. Now I go to the University Of Florida. I live in Gainesville during the week, and come home to Middleburg on the weekends. I ♥ listening to music. I ♥ playing guitar, even though I suck at it. I ♥ going to concerts, But you'd never have guessed that... Basically i'm all about the music. Duh. I used to work at Little Paws, the daycare at Ridgeview. I know how to solve a Rubik's Cube. Yeah, I'm cool. I'm still learning how to drive, and I don't have my license yet. I go to Universal Studios and Islands Of Adventure ALOT I ♥ The Incredible Hulk Coaster. I am fascinated with the life and death of Sid Vicious. And that whole JFK conspiracy...Fascinating. Penguins are the coolest animals ever. I know Latin, kind of. Mica Mica Parva Stella! (Inside joke). I'm Straightedge. Mom and Danny Stevens (from The Audition) plotted to try and get me to drink a beer. Danny threw his arm around my shoulder, held the beer in front of me, and said "Take a sip." I didn't. I WIN. Mom still thinks that it would have been awesome if I could say the first time I ever drank was with Danny. But no. Not drinking. I don't care who it's with. I have a lot of autographs up on my walls. Over 100. I think dreams have hidden meanings. I always consult my dream dictionary. Alternative Press is THE magazine. I would be lost without it. I'm really into Music Journalism. So much that I'm going to UF to major in Journalism, so all you peeps at Rolling Stone and AP, watch out...I'm coming. I want to learn about the Music Business. I would give anything to go on tour, and just, you know, be on the road, but it would be essential to have Mom and Lindsey there too. We're like a prison gang, the three of us ; ) I was Ranked 4th In My Entire Senior Class. Boo-and-Yah. I can't stand it when people buy band tees at a show and then put them on while they're there... I'm a jeans and band tee kinda girl. My medical record is thicker than my Physics book... I have a Rare Genetic Neurological Disorder called Dopa Responsive Dystonia It makes opposing muscles in my body contract at the same time, causing muscle spasms. It's not fun. I can thank this disorder for the 50+ doctor visits I've had over the past few years. I have to take 10 pills Every Day That amounts to 3,650 pills a year I've lived in Florida, Tennessee, and Maine Yeah, I say "Ya'll", and I probably sound a lil funny when I talk. I can't help it. I was raised in the south. There's an island in Maine, off of Popham Beach, called Fox Island, and I despise it very much, because I almost fell off a cliff into the ocean there. I mainly rolled across many rocks, and my body came to a stop at a point near the very edge, where waves were crashing against rocks below. Resulted in my body entirely covered in cuts and scrapes. Very traumatizing when you're 5 years old. The sky looks amazing when it is dark and the whole sky lights up blue from the lightning. I hate thunderstorms. I'm paranoid about tornadoes. I'll stare out the windows during storms looking for funnel clouds. Tornadoes scare the bejeezus outta me, yet I think it would be awesome to go on one of those Storm Chaser tours in the midwest. I betcha don't know what a Sundog is... Those are amazing. So are Parhelic Circles. And Haloes. and Irridescence. I ♥ Optical Phenomena in the sky. Mrs. Woods has super human abilities, like, on a Monday morning, she somehow knows I've been at a concert in Orlando the night before. You can sleep when you're old. Go to as many concerts as you can while you're young. We went to Warped Tour 7 times 2 summers ago. Last summer, we did 11 days of Warped Tour. According to Jon Wilkes, we "tour, and not even in a van!" Umm, I've eaten Moose. Betcha you can't say the same...HaHaHa. I ♥ tattoos and stars. I ♥ pictures of clouds. I ♥ drum line music. It's a thing from my childhood. Love it. My right hip has a lovely purple scar on it. Thanks surgery. I'm pretty skilled on crutches. Don't race me on them. I will win. My pinky on my left hand is crooked. Yep. Thanks in part to a.) a football in gym class in 7th grade b.) a plaster cast c.) moronic doctors at the naval hospital. But you should have seen how crooked the finger was before they fixed it... Gnarly. I got a 1290 on the SAT. I believe that socks should never match your outfit. Why should they? No one's gonna see them. I don't like shopping. Unless I'm on a mission to find something in particular. Only then is shopping fun. I'm kind of addicted to my mp3 player. And it's not an Ipod (because I'm too cool for an Ipod) I'm totally up for a roadtrip. I love flying. Takeoffs and landings are awesome. oh and um...."SHREDDED BY STATE LINES!" hahahahahahahahaha

Brilliant Quotes From Pete Wentz"Writing got you in, no point in writing yourself out.""You drink to forget, I write so I never will.""I thank god for the bands, movies, and hearts that make me want to become something better than I am.""When I saw you lying there blood spilled slipping and sliding in that bathtub I knew how I loved you. I saw you without makeup. Without your hair perfect. Without the words you bend to make me see you a certain way. I saw you alone and scared and knew I had to be careful with how I held you.""Basement days, attic nights, it's not so much that there's something wrong with me, as there is nothing right, got some books on the floor, they're holding up my standards, swore myself off of you, but I don't do too well with ultimatums.""And i'm foggy like London but without all the class and dignity. More like northern Florida in August.""I am all breaths and heartbeats.""Make me electric.""I'm sore throat singing through the curtain at you down the hall in the dark and you're asleep or just a good actor. In my head this is the way we'll always be. Me walking out dripping wet, trailing my finger nails against the picture frames on the walls. Slipping back into whatever and being careful shut the door so I don't wake anyone.""You wake up but not really. In the bedroom you grew up in. It's the only place on the entire planet that is yours - the only place on the planet that understands you. It understands the way your nerves flare every time you think about talking to anyone - scared into shyness at the thought of opening your mouth but the way you are the best hypocrite around when you're in front of a microphone. It knows what turns that switch on and off and back on again. It understands the way when you don't have a smile on your face everyone only spits: "whats wrong"s and "you look tired"s. So the way you keep it on your face just wide enough to avoid questions. It understands how neurotic you have become, the way you treat your flaws like old friends. The way you look in the mirror and think of yourself as "mr. misery"...""Last night I saw my world explode.""Florida is hot. That's all I have to say. The humidity makes it hard to breathe.""If you've seen the movie Rushmore you know what I mean when I say "fall out boy is my Rushmore". It's the only thing I have really believed in, in a long time. It makes my heart beat.""Though I am over hearing your thoughts on haircuts and pants. I'm over us trying to be perfect tens for your little eyes. We don't care what you think of us. Listen to a song and time your heartbeat. Let it be okay to fall asleep slow tonight. Think about a good friend. Think about God. Think about death. Think about someone elses hand clumsily on your belt in the dark. Think it will be okay. No more rants. No more poetry. Not tonight.""Sometimes when you're feeling this blue the right smile can save you.""Florida in August is a sweatlodge. Take my word for it you don't want to know.""I'm dying to not give up on this.""The workers strike at the rumor mill is over, they're back on the job.""Try and right these wrongs but it's funny how the same wrongs helped me write these songs.""Put your seat upright. This shit is gonna take off.""Butterflies. Tired eyes. There is a body out there that was perfectly designed to fit with mine.""You couldn't be wrong. Because I dreamt you alive.""Come dance yourself to life.""Put your ideas in our body, put your body in our ideas: you're nobody until somebody loves you, at least that's half true.""Sunlight. Like the end of the world. In flashes but not mellow. We swim in schools. Down to the bottom. Down forever. I'm always clearing my throat but I've never got a thing to say. The opposite of a fever. The opposite of perfection. It's only when I go to sleep and when I wake up... I know that's a strange way of telling you that I know I'm supposed to love you. I love this tour.""If you're serious too much it means you believe your own hype. If you joke too much it means you don't take anything seriously. If you're too quiet it means that you are arrogant. If you talk too much it means you crave attention. If you aren't smiling it means you're not happy.""'A beautiful girl can make you feel dizzy, like you've been drinking jack and coke all morning...' Nothing has felt truer. My mind is swirling. Even with the tour coming to an end. The black around your eyes running and not in a crying way more like sunset hitting a school blacktop. I can't wait to go home at the same time I can't wait to come back to every city. I love seeing old friends, still up front. Trying to remember every night is like trying to catch my breath. And the years took their toll but we're still right there. We're bullets in the chamber waiting for the powder and the hammer to kiss. I love the way fall feels in my nose. Oranges and yellows burning leaves and us always trying to make our way upstream. The world has a funny way of playing tricks on us. One day I've got it all figured out and the next it's a mess. Last year we were in the same town but it's all different now, but still the same. We're the local boys from everywhere. It's all about 'the catch' versus 'the one that got away'. We're all trying to write them back into our lives and the hearts that we decorate and send cards out about on the holidays. We're just writing nets and barbs. Something to hold you until we've circled around to make sure no one is watching. It's been awhile but I think your baby boy has still got it.""Every four seconds we were like 'Wait, what?'""You can't catch your breath trying to keep up with the run on sentences. And sometimes you just think you'd die to find a period or capital.""It'll always be the same kids. And we'll always be out of tune with ourselves. And it might not sound great. But it's what shines out from behind our eyes and throats.""You catch yourself in a moment where it's all gonna be okay no matter how it turns out. It's rare. It's a collectors card. Keep it in mint condition cause you might never see another one. There are braintrusts and men in labcoats deep inside mountain labs that will make sure they stay rare. And that's okay. Because then they mean more.""The signature you put on your wall should reflect the content of these individuals rather than press clippings and well worded one liners that are designed to make you swoon over them/us.""There was a time before this all started when you were just normal. And it will exist again.""Everything seems like a good thing to say right before you click 'submit' buttons - everything seems like a mistake afterwards.""I just love watching my friends succeed and I will believe in them until the day I die. It's so great to watch everyone grow up. Hopefully, somewhere someone says that about me.""I am an arms dealer. I sell words you could only use as weapons. This isn't a scene it is an arms race. I am a con artist. A door to door salesman. A snake oil seller. Cures for whatever ails you. Somehow I don't hear the violins playing. Not really the leading man type. I am a cadaver deep frozen. Waiting for reanimation to beinvented. Wrote 'fuckoff' on my hand to remind me to call you tomorrow morning. What do you do when everything they say about you is true? Do you expect me to just roll over and die? My skin has made promises. Whether the rest of me has or not. Writing off tomorrows every time my fingers touch these buttons. Putting all the comforts and closeness in reverse just for you. I think it's time to re-asses some of the policies of the Wentz administration. Our approval rating is at an all time low. In case you haven't been informed you have to take a ticket to be disappointed by me. There's a fucking line. Well have some goddamned order. It's a posh and exclusive club. I have a lifetime membership. Make it glamorous. Make the rumors true. Read the sign next to the bridge 'giveupallhope...' and just tie down the gas pedal. Lie in the back. Haven't you heard, sorrow is in. You are the beaches of Normandy the night before. And a girl with such a sweet drink should never sit in the corner and cry about anyone or anything. The kids on the net had it right sometimes we should fuck off and die and break up and stop ruining art. But the kids had it right sometimes when they sit waiting in line with hands frozen out waiting to get into a room first. The only thing I can admit is this is no masterplan. I'm trying to figure it out.""Right after I figured myself out, I forgot it all.""Shock at how many of the same face are in the front row. Making this all seem more okay.""What if for one moment we became everyone we dreamed we could be?""There is a buzzing from outside of the darkened room. As though if I walked down the hallway past their sleeping faces, red in the warmth of the afternoon, I would walk into the first day of my life. Light gleaming off the windshield - like The Wizard Of Oz after the color washes over everything. Like I could start all over again - Only with the same faces that are imprinted on my heart forever. And my same bed. And dogs. And ex-loves. And friends. Save your troubles for another day, they weren't at the end of the hallway. Baby boy, you're too busy writing tragedy to notice. We're shaping up to do big things. And you're nothing special. Except. What if you are?""It's so weird to get nervous and shake around people who sing words that make your heart beat - but it happens to all of us I think."
Stealing Quotes from those Oh-So-Brilliant minds:"The impulse to travel is one of the hopeful symptoms of life." - Agnes Repplier"And this was really the way that my whole road experience began, and the things that were to come are too fantastic not to tell." - Jack Kerouac, On The Road"I ate another apple pie and ice cream; that's practically all I ate all the way across the country, I knew it was nutritious and it was delicious, of course." - Jack Kerouac, On The Road"Having a conversation with someone who actually prioritizes music and message over fashion and image. Thank you for listening to what I write, not just how I look or what I wear. Ha. My style is to trends as Black Mamba is to music critics. Think about it." - William Beckett"There were some kids, a group of 5 guys that followed us from BUFFALO, NY all throughout Canada. They were in the first row, singing everyday. It made me smile, and I'm getting goosebumps just thinking about it. Music Lovers. i love it." - William Beckett
