Rushing home for Alex's graduation

Prior to our entrance, Randy, our soundman Jake and I had come up with a plan. If Randy gave us the high sign, we would stop everything and head for the elevator. That was our only way out, safe or not.

From top to bottom, wall-to-wall, fans were everywhere you looked. They hung over the railing and pushed to get to the autograph table. Some fainted as soon as the boys entered. The situation was out of hand long before we arrived. There was absolutely no hope whatsoever of reining it in. The fans were just too far gone.

As the boys signed autographs, the fans got bolder. The ones that managed to get something signed refused to leave since they would have to fight their way through the back half of the crowd just to get out. The signing lasted about twenty minutes. Girls were crying and pleading to either get to the boys or to get out. There was just no place for them to go.

At that point, the crowd began knocking down signs and rushing the boys. Randy gave me the sign. I tapped the boys and off we went, with the boys in the lead. They barely made it onto the elevator. I followed close behind, but the elevator doors closed before I could enter. I began to panic, but once the crowd realized the boys were gone, they backed off. As we rode the next elevator to the main floor, I could not help but raise my head to the ear of the record company rep and whisper, "We told you so, didn't we?"

Once we reached the room where the boys were waiting, phase two of the craziness began. To reach our waiting vans on the street, we had to pass through a narrow crowded exit to the garage and then onto the street. As several fans chased us on foot, we made our escape, thanks to the help of the BMG guys and a few skilled drivers.
