man, this is my dream i almost cried reading this! gwen/no doubt are my favorite band/musicians ever. :( great success though, really! were you outside their hotel?

Great pics! {up}
It is so good to hear how nice they were!!
It is great how she still stopped for pics even tho her security guard said otherwise!
I would love to meet her now I know she would be welcoming :D

Congrats, heard nothing but good things about Gwen!

Last summer during the No Doubt tour I saw the entire band including Gwen and her husband Gavin.

Myself and my friend were the only two fans waiting outside which made matters much easier. Gavin was walking around with his sons for a while before we approached him. We both are respectful of someones family time so we didn't bother him until the children were with someone else in their entourage. Gavin was more than happy to pose for photos once he was alone and even signed a piece of paper that my friend had.

We then started seeing members of the band No Doubt exit. I am not a huge fan of the band so I only got a photo with the one I recognized, Tom Dumont. He was really cool and happily posed for photos.

Finally, we see Gwen walk out and I was greeted by a very friendly wave, smile and good morning from Ms. Stefani. I asked if I could please take a quick photo with her to which her security quickly snapped "no photos, we're late". Gwen ignored them and said to me of course, and I snapped it myself. She then asked before boarding her tour bus if it came out OK, in case I needed to take another. I told her it came great and thanked her for her time.
