Connor got to meet the Chainsmokers and got to stay for the show!!

We cannot believe this happened!  The Chainsmokers were playing in Boston at the AMP103.3 Electric Bounce House at the House of Blues and I took a shot at contacting them to see if they would meet Connor.  Selfie has been a long time favorite of his among many of their other songs.  I immediately got a (super sweet) reply and Connor was invited to the show!  I explained that he's 8 and underage and most places are pretty strict so we'd love if Alex and Drew could meet Connor even if it was at the airport and they told me they would get back to me.

After a little back and forth we had plans and times!  We ate close by and Connor kept asking if it was time.  He was so excited!

Look at Connor's HUGE smile!

Connor made two cards.  A Happy Birthday card for Drew since his birthday was coming up and a card for Alex thanking him for meeting him and letting him come to the show.  Connor drew Cheddar (Alex's dog) on the front.  They really seemed to love the cards!  Little did we know they snapchatted a picture of Connor (and his card)!

 

Connor got to ask them some questions which included favorite drink.  Drew said raspberry iced tea (PG variety).  Drew asked Connor what his favorite was and of course Connor said raspberry iced tea.  Connor asked a few more questions about favorite school subject but it was obvious Connor was just too excited!  He even forgot where he was from.  Alex asked if he was from Boston and Connor sorta said yes.  Alex tried asking Connor some questions but Connor got a tad shy so we helped a little.  He also also kept wanting to sit down in his chair.  Connor was VERY excited about the show!

We had brought a bunch of pictures for Connor to choose to ask Alex and Drew to sign and Drew grabbed the stack and said they would sign all of them!  Incredible!
Jamie and Connor!

Alex and Drew were so nice to Connor!  Connor genuinely LOVED meeting them.

15 minutes before the Chainsmokers!  #Selfie


When the Chainsmokers came out!  I *think* Connor was excited!  (some swearing)


He was dancing the whole night!


And of course don't forget Roses!

Connor also loved that he got to see Cash Cash before the Chainsmokers came out.  He loves them too!
