maggielndnphoto: NYNY night was one of the best nights of my life. Narrowing this down to ten pictures was actually impossible so I will be posting these for infinity potentially. What a blast it was. It’s been two weeks? How? I miss it so much let’s do this again soon pls. Also PAUL FREAKIN SHAFFER?????!! If you were there, you know. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Last night was emotional to say the least, I go to see @ lawrencetheband and MANY others perform the final night of Staycation, and I end up meeting Darren Criss and hanging out with Clyde and some of the band at a bar, along with some of the amazing friends I’ve made because of them.
During day 3 we were brought into sound check, and there I noticed they had a guest on stage, and I stopped functioning, my hands and feet went totally numb and I could barely breathe. It was Darren Criss. One of my biggest influences growing up.
Darren quickly finished up and left, but my tears continued and they didn’t stop for a long time. The sweetheart @ gracie is, she stopped a few times in between to make sure I was okay. I explained it to her, and she said she’d tell Darren. The other fans in there were so supportive and happy for me , seeing how emotional just seeing him in person made me.
Later in the show , he came out and I held up my phone that said “Glee / You saved my life“ and he saw it at the end. And he was so sweet about it . Gave me a lil signal of happiness and appreciation.
After the show I waited outside to try to meet him. But after 2 hours we were convinced he left out the other side, and only the crew and band was still there. Then, another hour later the last person yet to come out was Gracie, and who else walked out with her , other than DARREN!!!
He immediately recognized me and came up to me with his arms wide open, We had a quick conversation not to hold Gracie up too much but he was so sweet and it was everything I could ever imagine. He gave me a big hug and took a few minutes to talk, before joining Gracie.
I left to go home, I got everything I needed from the night, or so I thought. I was halfway done with my Uber when I got a dm with the address to the band’s after party.
Now the post is full circle.
Thank you Clyde and Gracie and the whole team for a fantastic weekend I will never forget. I love you guys IMMENSELY. I’m so proud of you going from YouTube covers to selling out 3 days of an event this extravagant.
