I live in Bristow, OK... just an hour away from him! He's probably been here before, but... if he asked me to show him around, I would first take him to the stock yards. We could eat breakfast or lunch out there, go feed the horses. I would tell him it has a special place in my heart because I used to go out there all the time with my grandad and we would feed the horses and the chickens and then have breakfast for dinner. I would then take him down main street. Main street is a part of Route 66 and I am proud to be a part of something historical, I would tell him. The last place I would show him before he had to go back is a tiny shop called Purple Penguin. I shop there all the time. It is a cute little antique store and it has so many collectables and adorables things to buy and innovate with. Then he could go to do his sound check, perform his awhh-some show that I would be there the whole time for, and have a great time in Bristow! I would hope he liked my tour of our tiny town and cheer for him the entire concert. The end!!!!!

FOR YOUR EYES ONLY:
This is not an “Official Entry”. I can’t tell you why because it’s a secret. But, for one thing, I live 1,000 miles away from the “secret” location I will be describing. I have been there, but I only use it as a safe house when I am in this town. I think that Greyson would enjoy spending some time at this location because, from what I’ve learned by reading the fan posts here on the forum, he likes secrets and puzzles. If someone recognizes the location, then you are already aware that the location is a well guarded local secret. So don’t give anything away here on the forum. But if I was in your town, this is a one of a kind place that I would like to take Greyson, his family, and the other members of his tour group for an entertaining and relaxing meal.
To start out, I would meet Greyson and his entourage in front of the theater where everybody was “Dancin’ Crazy” onstage (R&R) earlier this year. From there we would head out the nearest door and cross the street. We would soon turn down an unmarked, non-descript alleyway.
After looking around to be sure we were not being followed, we would come to the poorly marked door of an International Export company. (Some of you might remember that James Bond’s cover is “Universal Exports, Ltd.”). I would open the door for Greyson and his family so that Greyson and his mother could walk in first.
As Greyson walked through the door of the “Export Company”, he would find himself in a very small room lined with bookcases and file cabinets. Looking around, Greyson would see a lady who looks a lot like Miss Moneypenny (from the James Bond Novels) sitting at a small desk.
She would ask Greyson for the password and of course Greyson would not know the answer. So, in order to get any further the lady will make Greyson perform a trick. Perhaps he would have to dance like a penguin, or quack like a duck & flap his arms or perhaps he would have to “hula-hoop” for 30 seconds. (The lady would be really surprised if she happened to ask Greyson to sing a song).
After Greyson performs his trick, he is waiting to see what stunt his mother will have to do. Much to Greyson’s chagrin, his mother’s “trick” is on Greyson as she leans over toward the lady at the desk and whispers the passphrase in her ear. The lady smiles and reaches under the desk and pushes a hidden button.
Greyson stares in surprise as the wall with the bookcase and file cabinets suddenly swings open and is revealed to actually be a hidden door to a secret passageway. Greyson and his mom head down the long passageway where it dead ends in front of another set of doors similar to the ones in the old “Get Smart” TV (spy) series. Meanwhile, the other members of his group are performing their stunts trying to gain entrance to the secret location.
Greyson and his mom are standing at the end of the passageway trying to figure out what to do next. As Greyson moves around, he finally stands in the right spot to trigger the doors and they slide open to reveal a larger room. Looking around, he sees a TV Screen showing images of his band mates standing in the room he was just in. He smiles and laughs as he realizes that there is a hidden camera in the room and he is watching his band mates doing silly tricks so they can get through the hidden bookcase door.
While Greyson is standing there, someone approaches him. “Are You Mr. Chance?” they ask.
“Yes”, Greyson replies, a little hesitantly.
“Come with me please”.
Greyson turns to look at his mother and she smiles reassuringly. As Greyson’s mother waits for the other members of the group to catch up, Greyson is led away down a spiral staircase and disappears to the floor below. He continues to be led through a maze of passages until they come upon a door marked “shower room”. The door is opened to reveal not a shower, but a small closet, containing the ejection seat from a jet fighter. Greyson is instructed to get inside. He becomes a little nervous as he takes a seat and the closet door is closed.
Meanwhile, back upstairs, Greyson’s mother, and the rest of the group are seated at small tables in what is now discovered to be a restaurant. Everyone is wondering what happened to Greyson when there is a vibration in the center of the room. Suddenly, the floor opens up and Greyson comes rising up through the floor as the room breaks out in applause.
Everyone wants to wash up before dinner, so the ladies head for the ladies room, unaware that they will have to face the “Burt Reynolds temptation test” (He was a big star a long time ago). And if they want to check out what’s going on in the restaurant, they can look out through the secret two way make-up mirror. Meanwhile, as Greyson looks around for the Men’s room, he finds out once again that all doors in this place are not what they seem.
After a meal of standard restaurant fare, Greyson and his entourage explore the premises. Greyson bends down to look through a peephole & is surprised to see an image of his own backside as he stares through the hole. Somewhat embarrassed, he quickly stands up and instinctively brushes off the back of his pants.
“Ahh, another hidden camera”, he surmises. With an impish smile, he gives a shout out to his band mates,”Hey guys, look through here.”
Next he stops to look at an authentic piece of the “Berlin Wall” that is on display in the restaurant. There is also an authentic cell door from a Russian Gulag (prison) cell that was used by the KGB to hold a real captured CIA Spy.
Greyson explores a number of other historical “spy gadgets” that are on display, and decides that he wants to call home to tell his father about the fun he is having. So, he steps into the C.I.A. phone booth (99 Crafty Instant Alibis). Greyson drops in a Quarter but the phone doesn’t work. However, he is able to choose his “Alibi Sound Effect”. He pulls out his cell phone and calls his father. And as the “Ping” of sonar equipment sounds in the background, Greyson pretends to be calling from inside a submarine.
Greyson talks with his father for a few minutes and then it’s time for more exploring. He looks around and takes some time to figure out and solve the world’s largest mechanical puzzle. The pieces are so big that they take up an entire wall. You have to read the riddle and move the puzzle pieces around with a remote control to make the picture match the riddle.
Eventually, it is time to go to the sound check, but there is a problem. A crowd of Paparazzi stalkers is waiting around in the alley in front of the “Export Company” so Greyson needs to make a safe getaway.
Grabbing his mother by the arm, Greyson ducks into another phone booth. He picks up the receiver, drops in a quarter, and listens as instead of a dial tone, “Control” gives him a secret code. Greyson punches the code into the phone. Suddenly, to his left, the wall of the phone booth opens up to reveal a dimly lit staircase. This must be the “Secret Exit”. Greyson escorts his mother safely down the stairs into a maze of tunnels. As they pass one door, someone shouts “Halt, who goes there?” Greyson and his mother rush on by, past another door that cryptically warns, “Interrogations in progress.” Finally, they make their way down another hall to a steel door. Pushing through the steel door, they find themselves back on the street, around the corner and out of sight of the Paparazzi. So they are able to sneak back to the theater unseen in time for the Sound Check.
What’s that? You think that this is a work of fiction? Such a place could not exist? Well, let me assure you that such a place does exist. In fact, it is located in a town north of Chicago that Greyson will be visiting on his summer tour. And if the right person ever asked me, I would be forced to reveal the location and the passphrase. And that is all I can say for now except, good luck to the participants in the contest. Thank you for participating in the Greyson Chance Forum. And remember to check back often, because you never know what you will find here. Hopefully, there will be more “surprises” to come. So be sure to invite your friends.

I'd take him to the Tustin Market Place to see a movie than we'd go to Chipotle to eat and get some yogurt at Cherry on Top after and we'd talk and walk around and get to know each other, than I'd take him back to my place to show him some of my music and poetry and I'd play some on my bass and I'd grab him some mango flav and we'd become friends than I'd have my dad drive him back to his venue and I'd give him my number so we could stay in touch because I'll tell him that he's an amazing guy and that I'd tell him "Dear Greyson Chance, I’m WAITING OUTSIDE THE LINES because we all know I’m your PAPRAZZI and that I’ll never UNFRIEND YOU, and that I’ll HOLD ON ‘TIL THE NIGHT as long as I need to, because I don’t have a HEART LIKE STONE , I have one of those BROKEN HEARTS but just like you I have a PAST, so why don’t we jump on the SUMMER TRAIN and LIGHT UP THE DARK together and light the STARS on FIRE? Because we all know that I WANNA BE STRANDED ON THIS ISLAND WITH YOU.” and I'd give him a hug and wish him luck on stage. I picked those places because they are where I feel safe at and run to hide when I'm sad so they mean a lot to me. And so does Greyson, every time I cry I play his music and there's nothing I want to do more than smile, he's helped me so much, I'm looking forward to his upcoming album and am so happy about his success! Somebody has to be happy for me, right?

Hey![: I live in central minnesota but he would perform in Minneapolis, Minnesota! So, I would take him to go skydiving. Skydiving with eachother for the first time in my life would be amazing. I really think that Greyson would enjoy skydiving. Another place I would take greyson is to a record shop. I know how greyson loves his records and Im sure he wouldn't mind getting a few more records before the show. That would be about 2 hours, so then. I would take him to the Mississippi and just sit on the shore of it and talk. I would love to get to know Greyson more & be his friend. We would sit and talk for the rest of the time we had, because, that would mean the world to me. Im sure he would want to get to know me better too, and thats a good way too. I would do anything to just sit on the shore of the Mississippi River, and talk to greyson for hours. It would mean the world. Thats what I would do because to me, thats all I would want.<3 [: -Megan (Thank You For This Opportunity!)

If I could show Greyson around my hometown, Chichester, New Hampshire, and there would be nothing to do because it's such a small town, so we could go to Laconia, which is just 20 minutes away from Chichester, and we would go to Weirs beach for the day, because I know he loves the beach . We could swim for a little bit, then go on the boardwalk, which has a bunch of little shops, an AWESOME arcade, and some really nice resturants, and there is this really cool Mexican resturant there, because I know that he loves Mexican food, we could go there for lunch or early dinner. Then finnally we could go to the vinyl record store that's on the board walk. We would've been talking pictures all day to remember this day and because he is into photography, just like me (: Then he would go to his concert (and I would be in the crowd) and I would wish him good luck and give him a good luck hug <3 That would be the absolute best day ever in the history of my life I didn't want to make it a very complicated day, I would want it to be a relaxed day because he obviously is on the go 24/7. ihope you pick me as a winner and if you don't, I will be very happy for whoever does ~ Julia

I live in the Santa Barbara County so i will take him to Santa Barabara. for the first half hour we wil got to starbucks and just chat. there is actually a place where you could rent bicycles for 2 or 4 so we will rent a bicycle for 2 and ride it to the pier where the is a really cool aquariuum where you could see and touch sea animals. we will do thatfor 45 mins. then we would bicycle to Ben & Jerry's ice cream. then we would go to the beach and just walk for a while then watch the sunset. the most important thing is that we will get to know each other. then we will take the bicycles back and i'll take him to the venue where he could do his souncheck. of course he will rock the concert and i will have my front row tickets (: (as usual). so there is my story, hey at least he will try something new and have some new experience in different towns and city.i hope you like my story and if this really happened i would be so happy and it would be the BEST DAY EVER!!!! thanks!! (;

First, I would take Greyson Chance to visit one of the waterfalls in my city. It's called 'Acaba Vida'. I used to go there when I was a little kid. It's impressive and very beautiful, we can see the waterfall through a lookout point. There's a special area for extreme sports near the waterfall, and as I heard he likes to bungee jump, we would do that too. I would take him to the wharf, where people go jet skiing all day long. Right next to the wharf has an amusement park, I would call some friends and have a lot of fun for a while.
Greyson and I would visit my neighborhood, there's a special spot in the main square that means a lot to me, cause it reminds me of my childhood. It's full of trees, animals, nice people, and beautiful girls. Such a awesome place!! There was where I met my first friends, today I no longer see them, but I feel that they're still my friends and I know they feel it too. Near the square have a lot of shops, like the Music store! We would buy some cds, and Vinils, I know he likes it!
The Church is the coolest place to end the city tour, since I play piano like Greyson, the church has a grand piano and we could play a few songs before he left for the sound check. I'm pretty sure that greyson would enjoy this tour, as I would.
