Hey everyone:
I've been a member for a little while, but never actually commented, and I debated as to whether or not I should add this because you may not believe me, (especially since my mom wont let me post the picture online) but I swear this really happened.
So as you all know, Saturday was Teddy's birthday, and I had a cross country running meet all afternoon. On the way home though, i had to drop my friend off but before i did, i asked her if she minded driving by his house since I love to go see if he's home. (out of all the times I've done it, he's never been home) but YESTERDAY, he just so happened to be standing in his driveway with his parents and the neighbors drinking Starbucks. So i started freaking out and since we knew the girl that lives right next door, we pulled into her driveway and I called her from the car to tell her to come outside to see him.
Unfortunately, he had just gone inside the house, but his dad was still outside talking to the neighbors, so Jenna ran inside to get her mom so maybe she would go talk to Mr. Geiger for us. Her mom didn't really want to do it since she thought it was weird, so we were all pretending to admire this tree that is right on the edge of her property, but it was pretty obvious that we were waiting for them to finish their conversation. So after that, the neighbor began to walk back across the street and Mr. Geiger was heading inside, but Jenna's mom was like "John wait!" and he turned around to see the three of us standing there, and he was like "let me guess, these girls want a picture" and i started talking since Jenna and Kylie were just standing there. I asked him if he would go inside and bring Teddy out for a picture, but Mr. Geiger said he was really shy. I told him that I remember when you could google 'Teddy Geiger' and nothing would come up, thats how long I've been a fan. So then he said he'd try to find him and he went inside. We were standing outside for about 5 minutes and i seriously thought that he had just gone in and wouldn't come back. Finally, his dad came back out and he told us that Teddy had already started recording stuff downstairs and was too busy to come up. BUT, he told us that they were going out to dinner for his birthday at 6:30, so he would have to come outside then. It was about 5:45, so we went into Jen's house and ordered a pizza, then at 6:20 we went back outside and sat in her driveway for what seemed like forever. FINALLY, at about 7:10, the entire family came outside and started getting in cars (his relatives were there too, so there were a bunch of people) and Teddy walked out and started to get in the car when we ran into his driveway! He looked up and was like "Oh Hey" and we asked him for a picture and he was really nice about it. He held out his hand and asked us what our names were, and after he shook Kylie's hand, he shook mine, then said "Wow, that was a really nice handshake" Then Jenna had her digital camera, so we all stood in his driveway and got individual pictures with him!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then we wished him a happy birthday and he got in the car and left. I tried so hard not to start jumping up and down, so when we got into Jenna's garage, i started screaming and basically fell over. We printed the pictures and at school today, i told basically everyone i ran into about my favorite memory.
Apparently, Teddy had a pretty relaxed birthday, a bunch of girls saw him at Starbucks in the morning, then he spent most of the afternoon in the basement recording I'm guessing, and one of my friend's little sisters saw him eating at PF Chang's for dinner.
Just wanted to let you all know, cause I was really excited and I love reading all of your stories from the concerts!
