this is a long shot considering William probably won't read this, but i'll just repost it later when he blogs again and there aren't as many replies i guess.

Ok, so, i was at Eddie's Attic in atlanta the night that they (you) played there, and that was the night william (you) sang "Be Your Husband" before he (you) played. I was actually sitting at a table right in the front and center, and my friends and i were talking to the guys the whole time, it was really cool :) plus, i brought my acoustic guitar for the guys to sign. point is, i kinda re-made Be Your Husband for william beckett (you). it's crappy, it's not really like the original song, and i kinda feel like an idiot for actually doing it, but hey, you never know if you don't try.

So yes, here is my video, made for William Beckett, dedicated to every William Beckett fangirl. (it was made by me at home, so yeah, the quality probably isn't too good.)
http://www.youtube.com/watc...

it would be amazingly cool if william (you?) acknowleged this video somehow, even if it's just commenting back telling me how weird i am ;)

ok, that's it for me! feel free to leave comments around telling me i'm a weirdo or something, i'm quite used to people making fun of me, plus i agree that what i did is a little out there... but yeah. it's done now. and william beckett will see it one day, even if it comes down to me showing it to him at their next show here ;)

Erica_guitarchik — Thu, 29 Jan 2009 01:55:34 -0000

meh. it says it's done loading, but it won't play :( i'm just gonna come back tomorrow when a whole bunch of people are trying to view it, and i'll hope it loads quickly :P

Re: The William Beckett

Erica_guitarchik — Thu, 29 Jan 2009 11:13:05 -0000

yeah i'm actually not really as crazy as some other girls i know, but i just had the idea to do this, and then i just kinda ran with it *shrugs* not to spam it or anything, but the next time he does a blog post, i'll probably post it in the comments again since this post ended up with over 400 comments and the average is around 130. so yeah, you'll see this post again probably...

Re: The William Beckett

Erica_guitarchik — Thu, 29 Jan 2009 20:45:16 -0000

oh my gosh, thank you so much! :) i seriously thought when i posted this that people would comment back saying i was stupid or something, but everyone's been amazingly nice!

and no! it's my idea! *hides it* lol, jk. i really don't mind, it's just that singing is one of the only things that i'm seriously good at (the guys even told me that at Eddie's Attic, cuz they heard me singing the harmonies through-out the show!), so i wasn't gonna go write a song and play guitar or something. but yeah, i just really hope he sees it at some point.

if you could, (and everyone else really) it'd probably be really helpful if when the next time william writes a blog, post my video and say your friend Erica made it for him and stuff, cuz then there'd be a better chance of him actually looking at it... you don't have to do it, but it'd get it out there more :) thanks again for the complaments though!

Re: The William Beckett

Erica_guitarchik — Thu, 29 Jan 2009 20:51:49 -0000

ah yes, it was. but hey, you never know what william might or might not read!

aw, i'm sorry :( that would've rocked my world, i love chizzy's accent :) i once had an 8 min conversation with him about Munich cuz i went there but he'd never been there! it was awesome, i just *swooned* whenever he talked to me :)

haha, i wish he would, but considering there's over 500 comments on here, and the average amount of comments are about 125, i don't think he's gonna sift through all of them... BUT! if you wanted to help me, like i said in the last comment i posted, next time william posts a blog, if you could post with my video in it and say your friend Erica made it for him, then i think there'd be a better chance of him actually seeing it :) but hey, you don't have to do it if you don't want to

Re: The William Beckett

Erica_guitarchik — Thu, 29 Jan 2009 21:50:22 -0000

lol i just got to meet them on their last tour cuz i'm in their fan club, so yeah. (don't worry, even though i met them, i still imagine conversations with them ;) lol)

awesome! thank you, idk why, but i just really wanna see what happens if he sees it :)

Re: The William Beckett

Erica_guitarchik — Fri, 30 Jan 2009 14:40:40 -0000

Let's try this again, chances are william (you) still won't see this, but whatever. i'll just have to keep trying i guess...

I was at Eddie's Attic when the guys were there, and i brought my guitar for them (you?) to sign, and that was the night that william (you?) sang Be Your Husband, i think that was the first time you did it, and when we got home, my mom said i should remake it for william (you?), so i did.
and here it is:
http://www.youtube.com/watc...

thoughts? i posted it in the last comment thing, but there ended up being over 500, so yeah. the chances of william seeing it were small...

Re: The William Beckett

Erica_guitarchik — Fri, 30 Jan 2009 15:28:51 -0000

thank you :) but yeah, i'm attempting to get william to see it, but i'm not sure how possible that may be now... he said he saw a video from someone over at their myspace, so i sent them a message with it, but idk... i thought this would be my best bet, and a few other people agreed

Re: The William Beckett

Erica_guitarchik — Fri, 30 Jan 2009 15:30:47 -0000

crap, that's the wrong URL.

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

sorry about that

Re: The William Beckett

Erica_guitarchik — Fri, 30 Jan 2009 21:16:35 -0000

cool, thanks :)

i posted it in his last post's comments, but i was about the 110th, so i don't think he'll see it, but i'm gonna try for the next post too and see if i can get within the first 50 or so, cuz then he might actually see it...

and yeah, i'll friend you :) i don't know if i'll be making any more videos, but if i do, then you'll know

Re: The William Beckett

Erica_guitarchik — Sun, 01 Feb 2009 04:24:34 -0000

That rocks :) you guys did a great job with this tour, I was at Eddie's Attic (i brought my guitar for you to sign) and it was really special to me.

I actually remade Be Your Husband for you, by suggestion of my mom.... it's not really that good, but people have been wishing me luck in getting you to see it. So here it is:
http://www.youtube.com/watc...

it would mean the world to me if you commented on it or something.

Thanks,
-Erica

Erica_guitarchik — Mon, 02 Feb 2009 16:34:39 -0000

That rocked :) i was at a superbowl party last night, and it was such a good time!

but come on, NY pizza is the best, but i guess the whole "born in chicago" thing would make you slightly biased ;) lol

and i think i've come to the point where william isn't actually ever gonna see this video i made for him, so i'll post it here for other people's amusment. and hopefully enough people will want him to see it too that it'll get posted in his blog comments more than once :)
this is a remake of Be Your Husband i made for william since i was at Eddie's Attic when they came around, and i'm really hoping to get him to see it, even though i know it's kinda stupid...
http://www.youtube.com/watc...
and the guys signed my guitar when i saw them, so that's why i hold up the guitar at the end...

Re: The William Beckett

Erica_guitarchik — Thu, 05 Feb 2009 17:16:08 -0000

I'll post this again, since i'm sure i'll just have to wait til i see beckett to show him this, i'll just post it for everyone else's amusment :)
this is a remake of Be Your Husband that i made for william since i was at Eddie's Attic when they came to atlanta, and my mom had the idea of doing it for him... i'm kinda embarrassed about it, cuz i felt kinda stupid doing it, but whatever! it's out there now, and i'm not taking it back :)
here it is:
http://www.youtube.com/watc...

mmkay, that's it, really.

Re: The William Beckett

Erica_guitarchik — Fri, 06 Feb 2009 18:32:18 -0000

I love how you're posting all these older photos, it's like looking through a scrapbook :) ...except there aren't any cheesy stickers :P lol.

and ah, the video. the one i've been posting for a while now. I'll keep posting it too, even though i know i'm just gonna have to bring the video camera to the next TAI... show i go to, i'll put it up for other people to mock/say stuff about.
Yep. as the story goes, i was at Eddie's Attic when the guys came around, and somehow mom talked me into remaking Be Your Husband for william. i know he's not gonna see it until i show it to him, so i'm just posting this for laughs and everyone else's enjoyment i guess
http://www.youtube.com/watc...\

mmkay, that's it.

Erica_guitarchik — Fri, 06 Feb 2009 18:38:23 -0000

Wow, i so wish i could've been there, i really do. But i'm just gonna have to stick to times like Eddie's Attic, reminding me of what matters :)

speaking of which,
i was there and when i got home, my mom somehow convinced me to make a remake of Be Your Husband for william, and i don't really like how it turned out, but oh well! Next time they come around, i'm gonna force william to watch this. no matter how embarrassing it'll be. so just for the heck of it (and for your enjoyment to mock or maybe even compliment) here's the video/song thingy i made for william beckett:
http://www.youtube.com/watc...

raise your hand if you're getting tired of seeing this everywhere *raises hand* yeah, i won't post it too much more, don't worry.

Erica_guitarchik — Fri, 06 Feb 2009 18:45:15 -0000

Haha, that rocks. i totally would've gotten it at the show in GA, but it's nowhere near where i live! i might catch you guys when you come to the Masquerade (i'm pretty sure you're gonna be there after your tour with WTK) though!

Speaking of GA, where oh where is that video of all of us singing One of THOSE nights while waiting in line at Eddie's Attic? you said you wanted to film it for the blog, and i haven't seen it yet! I'm Erica, the girl who brought her acoustic guitar for you guys to sign, btw. and you drew a rhino on the corner of it 0_o lol

Re: The William Beckett

Erica_guitarchik — Sun, 08 Feb 2009 15:09:50 -0000

that rocks, great job, and without you, not many of us would be ourselves either, since we're so inspired by you. I know that i really, really am, since you and The Academy Is... helped me to relize that i wanted to go into the music industry as a job, since i realized just how big of a deal music has been to me, and will always be.

Now, i was at Eddie's Attic and had you guys sign my guitar, but when we got home my mom somehow talked me into re-writing Be Your Husband for you, and i've been trying to get it to your for a while, so here it is i guess... even though this still isn't a surefire way of getting you to see it, i thought that being in the top 20 should help...

Erica_guitarchik — Sun, 08 Feb 2009 15:41:08 -0000

aw thanks :) tai inspired me to learn guitar too, actually. and now bass. and (soon to be) drums. i've always sung though, but i don't think i'm very good, but i guess that's just the way it is.

that rocks that your a writer! i can write songs and poems and stuff like that, but i KNOW i'm not very good at that! so i just stick to attempting to play stuff :) lol

good luck with your writing and guitar-playing! i hope you have lots of fun with it, cuz i know i have fun when i do anything musical :)

Re: The William Beckett

Erica_guitarchik — Sun, 08 Feb 2009 20:15:18 -0000

haha it doesn't matter how old you are, just as long as you love doing it :)
yeah, i got long, thin fingers from my dad's whole side of the family, so guitar-ing is a bit easier for me than some of my friends...lol.
i love Remember Maine, my friend Rachel and i were trying to get william to play Waiting Up at Eddie's Attic, but he said he didn't remember it! So he played Eastbound Traffic for us later :) haha. but yeah, the chords for Eastbound Traffic are really, really easy. just look them up on Ultimate-guitar.com if you want, they have tons of tabs on that site, and most of them are really good.
yeah, i've been into music for as long as i can remember, but that rocks that you like photography! i always thought it was amazing, but i don't really have that gift for it, so that's awesome that you like it :)
and yes! haha, i love jack! he's the sweetest guy, and my mom likes him too! haha, he kept going back and talking to her at the shows i went to and stuff cuz she called him "The squrriely (sp?) guy who was the brains of the operation" haha
thanks, i'll need it! i just can't seem to get the hang of the drums! haha, i guess i will eventually though.
i wish you luck with your guitar playing too!

Erica_guitarchik — Sat, 14 Feb 2009 21:26:04 -0000

This was amazing, and it totally fits with what i was thinking about the other day, too.
We're always going to love you guys. You, The Cab, the guys over at The Academy Is..., and pretty much all of FBR+ other bands mean the world to us, and we just want you guys to do what you love. that's what produces what we love the most: real music, straight from the heart.

I really hope that i'll get to see you guys in April the next time you come to GA, but i really wish you'd come back to Eddie's Attic...

Speaking of which, i have one question: if you read all the posts, then what ever happened to the video from the line at Eddie's Attic in atlanta??? you told my friends and i that you wanted to film us for the blog, but i haven't seen a trace of the video at all yet, and we're just wondering what ever happened to it

ok, that's all. thanks :)

yeah, of course i remember you, but dude i just tried to write out a really long reply, but then it wouldn't save cuz the blog had more comments *facepalm* i'll add you on myspace, ok?

*EDIT* wow, i feel horrible for not catching that reference....... my mind just automatically went to a spelling error. that means i'm spending way too much time doing grammar homework. *facepalm*

Anyways,
Ok, i was at Eddie's Attic, and i brought my guitar for you guys to sign, and my mom convinced me to re-write Be Your Husband for you. I felt kinda weird doing it, but everyone has been convincing me to try and get you to watch it, even though it's actually quite embarrassing for me... but anyways, here it is:
http://www.youtube.com/watc...

it would mean so much if you were to watch this and just comment and say it's just neat or something....i don't know. music's just a big deal to me, and i felt really good about myself when you and the other guys said you could hear me singing harmony during the show at Eddie's Attic and that i did a really good job with it, since singing is the one thing that i'm pretty good at. (according to me)

Well, thank you
-Erica
ps. come back to Eddie's Attic! it was awesome, we'd love to have you back :)
