Avril will always be a special artist to me. Her show in 2003 was the first concert I ever attended. Yesterday, I saw her again at the Philips Arena in Atlanta, GA., but this time bought a VIP package. It was a very well-coordinated event. We were taken to a private room for refreshments and a raffle, then taken backstage to meet with her individually. She signed one item per person and also took a picture

. She's so tiny and cute in person {love} ! I thanked her for putting one of her songs on an album to raise awareness about the struggle for democracy in Burma (where I'm from).

VIP also allowed me to be right up against the stage and not have to fight with the regular crowd:

She put on a great show, and I had a blast!
