Band on the Diaper Run

Hangin with DJ Lance Rock is...Awesome

 While in LA, we witnessed Depeche Mode playing in the streets. 

But that wasn't the highlight of our day (even though it was nice to hear Personal Jesus at sunset).

 

Mags got to meet one of her idols (I'm pretty sure her other ones are Gramma, Cinderella and her dance teacher)

She watched out the window for him and kept saying,   "Are you sure he's real?"

 

 

Yes, he's real!  (We informed her he'd be wearing normal clothes-not the Yo Gabba costume.)

She was shy at first. Just staring at him and answering questions quietly.  During lunch she whispered in my ear, "Is this really DJ Lance?"

 

 

.

 Finally she must have pinched herself and realized just how amazing it was to be hanging out with him.  She had some great questions...who was his favorite YGG character, why did such and such happen in a particular episode, etc.

(And I have to admit, I thought DJ Lance was pretty awesome too.  We had some great conversations about music)

 

 

 

She gave him a tour of "her" bus.

 

 

 And he even came back at dinner time and said goodnight.  

 

Mags also met Scott, one of the creators of YGG (and dad to a couple of her new friends in California).  She shared a few of her ideas for the show...especially her desire for a treasure hunt episode. 

 

When we got home, I asked Mags what her favorite part of tour was.  Without hesitation she said, "Meeting DJ Lance."

What an awesome story! She will remember the say she met DJ Lance forever and ever. My dad worked for the CBC and the day I got to meet "Jeff" from Today's Special is still one of my fav childhood moments.
