I got robbed at gunpoint tonight

So i went to a concert tonight. It was Type-O Negative and LORDI. Well, my biological dad works security at concerts, so I got to meet 2 members of Type-O (guitarist and drummer) as well as Lordi. So alls well and good. I hangout with Mr. Lordi for a bit and then am leaving to go home and my dad calls me to come back. He says "Lordi is hanging out without there costumes on and they need a ride to the bar". So of course, i do a u-turn (not really) and go back. I hangout with them for a bit and they end up having another ride to the bar. so im chilling with a friend of mine, my dad, the road manager for LORDI (cool SOB btw) and we end up finding out LORDI is not at that bar anymore and that we have to go hunt them down. So we walk to a bar nearby. Well they are not there. So we start walking back. Well, a van rolls up and 5 black kids (and i do mean KIDS. They looked between 11 and 14) hop out. They pull out a .38 snub nose and point it at my head. Weeeeeeeeeeeeell, my first thought is "im gonna die. Now i dont get to play assasins creed (just playing)" . So they tell me "lay down" typical ‘gangsta’ bullcrap. So i do it. Well my dad takes off to go get some armed guards (we were like 10 seconds from the venue). So me and my friend (whos a bandmate of mines Fiance) are left there because everyone bolted. So the dumb jerks start TRYING to get in my pockets. Well, he cant get into them so i say "here lemme get that" to see what they do. One guy goes "okay". So i reach for the pocket. The guy with the gun stutters for like 3 seconds and Goes "Um um um no naw no naw mahn naw uh uh" lol. So then the jerks get into my pockets and bolt. They took my wallet, my gfs credit card, my car keys, and my cell phone. Oh, and a near empty pack of cigarettes. So we call the cops once they drive off and the cops roll up. We found out they did this to someone else and that they did it again an hour later. They had been stealing cars and robbing all night. Well, i got back some of my stuff in my wallet and i got back my cars keys (thank god) but no phone. So, once everyone was safely back at the venue (like i said, they scattered) we fille dout a full report. Well, the road manager for LORDI felt so bad about it (because my phone had a pic of me with lordi and my wallet a guitar pick from them) that he gave us ALL lifetime All Access passes to LORDI shows worldwide. He also gave me like 4 new picks, and a lamanent and a beer lol. I everythings good though. Im not shot, im okay, i had a good night, and justice hopefully will prevail. Id have to say all in all, it was a great night until that and then after it got better. MUCH better. Peace.

"One of the men with a gun took a fan, a girl, put the gun to her head and forced her to lie down on the ground," Mr. Lordi said. "Also one of the boys froze on the spot while the others fled away, including Rikk and the bodyguard while another man started shooting at them. Luckily he missed and no one was hurt. Rikk ran to the bar and called the police who arrived soon. In a moment we were surrounded by like five police cars but the guys managed to escape. They were a group of drug addicts that had stolen the car earlier that night, and police were already looking for them but have still not managed to catch them."
Mr. Lordi continued, "The girl that was held at gunpoint is obviously very shocked. We did our best to comfort and calm her down, but one can only wonder what could happen when people start running around with guns and even using them!"
"It is a bit amusing that the boy fan was just happy he didn’t lose the t-shirt he was wearing with all the autographs on it, even if they both lost everything else."
