Connor, Liam and Zedd |
On our way to House of Blue, we listened to Zedd's CD the entire way into Boston and Connor was extremely excited (and Liam too)! When we got inside, Connor said to Anton "I missed you!" in his typical Connor way. When Connor says these things he truly does mean them. :) Liam talked to Anton about how he's played trumpet and violin and Anton talked about the piano and suggested the guitar for Liam. Anton said he never learned trumpet because he couldn't get the mouth right and that those instruments were hard. Liam was beaming with pride! An exceptionally accomplished musician was saying his instruments were hard!
Anton also commented on the Boston accent he heard and he couldn't understand someone who was saying "park the car". The pesky Rs disappear in Boston for sure.
Connor asked about the insert that came with the CD as to why are there no words in Bumblebee. Anton said it's Morse code. Connor was amazed!!
Connor got a little shy so I told him to tell Anton what his favorite song is. "All of them" Connor said which is also super true. I said lately his favorites were "Paper Cut" and "Done With Love". And "Beautiful Now" is a long time favorite. We asked him about his shoes since we saw them on his instagram and Connor said he liked them.
After we met and thanked Anton a million times, they were continuing to set up. We got to see behind these enormous led screens that they travel with from city to city. The amount of power cords behind one of them was crazy! And they had to figure out where it all went!
Unfortunately it was getting late so we weren't able to stay for the show and Connor was super disappointed since that what he LOVES more than anything. I told him maybe another time. So we are hoping Zedd comes back to Boston (accents and all) really soon!
Also we had no idea the stress everyone was under in trying to get the stage set up. At any given time they could have said it wasn't a good night or even could have cut short the conversation. But that didn't happen which is a true testament to how Anton values his fans. Thank you again!
