(Author's Note: This story never happened. It is a work of fiction inspired by a rock band that I respect and admire, UNION. No disrespect is intended to any of the members of UNION)

"Yessssssss!!!" came a scream from the kitchen of the apartment I share with my best friend, Amy.
I came running, wondering what my friend was screaming about now. When I finally got there, Amy's beautiful face was flushed and her blue eyes were dancing as she looked at me and excitedly yelled that she had just won two tickets and all-access backstage passes to the UNION concert and guess who was going with her??
I grabbed her hands and danced all over the kitchen with her, as UNION is our favorite band in the whole world.
Before I go any further I must mention I am a BBW (Big Beautiful Woman) and really don't expect anything but a few pleasantries and an autograph, as most men really don't care for BBW's least of all, men like Bruce Kulick and John Corabi.
Anyway, Amy just wanted to meet John and I just wanted to meet Bruce. After all, I am definitely not a dude magnet. Let me describe Amy and myself for you, ok?
Amy is 24, 5'6, 125 lbs, long black hair, blue eyes and a pretty face She kind of looks like Lucy Lawless (You know, "Xena, Warrior Princess"?) I am also 24 and considerably less genetically gifted at 5'5, 225 lbs, long layered brown hair, hazel eyes and a face that at best is described as "pretty enough to get by" (which basically means my looks are not great, but at least they don't scare small children and woodland animals)
But like I said before, I am not a dude magnet. On the other hand, the phone never stops ringing with guys calling for Amy. The only calls I get are my family and telephone solicitors, so like I said before I don't expect anything except the usual "Hi, I'm pleased to meet you" stuff I get from men and maybe I'd even be referred to as a "nice girl" if I was lucky.
I was a little glum as I had not had a date in three years, but I figured I could fantasize about Bruce Kulick kissing me up until the day of the concert, on which I would be inevitably disappointed when he walked off the stage barely noticing my existence, but at least this time I would get to meet him and maybe even take a picture of him and get one of he and I together. (It was a sly ploy to get him to touch me and for me to touch him)
Well, the day came. Amy and I got ready for the show. Amy put on elaborate makeup, a leopard tank top, high-heeled boots and a pair of black studded stretch jeans and I, knowing that I would not be noticed anyway, wore no make-up, lavender knit short-sleeved shirt, bellbottomed jeans with hearts on the cuffs and plain black and white Airwalk skateboard shoes. We then went out to the car and got in and drove an hour and a half to the club. When we got inside the club, a large man who was obviously the bouncer asked us for our names as Amy and I gave them and walked into the club, where UNION proceeded to play a blistering 3 hour set and the show ended after about four encores.
We went up to the bar to get a wine cooler and who did we see standing by the bar?. Our dream men, John Corabi and Bruce Kuilck who were laughing and joking with each other. I looked over at Bruce and he smiled his perfect smile at me as I got my drink and smiled back, figuring he was just being polite. John was also smiling at Amy, but his smile was not that of a rock star smilng politely at a sexually undesirable female fan to make her feel better. I could tell he wanted her and he came up to her and informed her of this fact as she got her drink and looked at me as if to ask my permission to go off with him and I smiled approvingly and winked, so off they went.
