I arrive in Pensacola, unsure of where I am supposed to go or what I am supposed to do.   So around 4pm I head to the venue to wait for my friends who assure me that they will be on time.  They aren't, surprise, surprise.  So my sister hangs with my in the parking lot for an hour because gates don't open until 5pm and I can't get in touch with my "sources" to let me in.  As a back up, I had purchased a ticket to the show.  This came in handy as gates opened at 5pm and I strolled to the stage to ask for the Tour Director.  Security rushes off to find the man in charge and soon I am escorted by a lovely young lady to the production area where I meet up with the production team for Third Eye Blind.  What a wonderful bunch they are.  I take a seat and randomly attempt to carry on a conversation as they busily ready for the show.   Around 6pm Stephan strolls in and I am taken aback by his nonchalant demeanor.   He has to use the phone so I am asked to step outside, surely they don't want his conversation to end up on my website - haha (I would never).  In the lobby I talk to security chicks who are all military types but cool as hell.  I talk to the fish who are caged in aquariums that are built into the walls.  In the meantime, I see the rest of the band members enter to make their way to the hospitality room that is filled with all sorts of goodies to ease any craving.  Within minutes Charlize enters the production room and Stephan finishes up on the phone.  Inside I go to the production room and am introduced to Stephan for the Nth time.  "Stephan, you remember Jen, the girl who runs StephanJenkins.com?"  Stephan replies, "Oh yeah, so you made it.  So we are going to do this?"  But of course!  I hand over my prized drawing of Stephan, a caricature that you can see at the opening page of this site.  He loves it.  And here is the REST of the story (in my best Paul Harvey voice).

Fan comments on the interview:

• Damn Jen, you went all out.  Seriously, nobody could have done a better interview.

• Hey Jen, that must have been a kicking ass interview. I would have to say the best question was the quake of '89 one...Stephan remembered everything and I was laughing my ass off when he was like "I was with 2 girls" and he said "here comes the big one". That was an awesome interview, I give it 4 stars.

• That interview is awesome! Stephan is a very lucky guy to have such a devoted fan. Can't wait till the new album, I saw them on an MTV coverage of the rock fest in Atlanta, Stephen was wearing a guns n' roses t-shirt and playing a white explorer guitar, it rocked.  The quake question was an interesting one, it was really sexy listening to you talk with Stephen about masturbation, I was actually masturbating when that quake happened

• Your interview was so awesome! It was amazing....everything was just great.  You had the most interesting questions, and Stephan had very interesting answers. My favorite question was the earthquake one too, I loved his whole "romantic moment" thing! It was also nice to know some information about the new album and the upcoming tour. Thanks for formatting it and sharing it with us.

• A 5 star interview by far...better than MTV!

• Awesome interview, none better.  You should look into journalism/reporting or whatever you call it. 

• Cool interview.

• I am so jealous of you!  That is so unfair that you got to speak to Stephan Jenkins. Wow.  He is so talented and he is such a hottie.

• What a great job!  The interview is excellent, you really did a wonderful job...and asking such great questions that we were all dying to know!  Thank you!  Thank you!  Thank you!!!!

• You did a great job!  Really interesting questions, wow....

• I have now read the transcript and pleased to know that Stephan is an innie!  Woohoo!  I just must say once again though that the interview was outstanding!

• Hey I just got around to readin the interview and it was soo funny! It rocked!! Like I couldn't stop laughin at some parts.

• Your interview with Stephan was really great!   I can't believe that you have actually been able to sit down and talk with him!

• Hey that was a wonderful interview!   Unfortunately I couldn't hear it but I did read it.  Your so lucky to actually have met anyone from the band I would do anything!!!  Thanks for going threw all that trouble doing the interview and Ruby for formatting it. Thanks!!
