I wish Shawnie was here to help with these questions so it doesnt seem like I answer them all. haha. I dont know exactly for Shawnizzle, but for me it was a decision to skip school with one of my best friends and go to a free show held by a radio station in a mall parking lot. I had known Swing Swing and Dirty Little Secret prior but only because I had heard them on the radio so many times over the years. I couldnt connect a band name to those songs if I tried. So we ended up going and falling in love on the spot.

I cant speak for Shawnie, but for myself it was because they came about at a time when I needed something to lean on most. I had just dropped out of school, and was doing really stupid things. I call that time my "rebellious" days. ha. And on top of that my mom had just left again. Of course it wasn't like their songs pertained to anything that was going on in my life, so I couldn't really relate to that side, but they caused me to forget about what was going on around me and just be happy. I have absolutely no idea where my life would be right now without the band. I have accomplished so much, and I thank them because they indirectly caused me to make changes in my life, and gave me something to look forward to when they have shows around me. I tell everyone, I am most happy and at ease when I am on barrier at a Rejects show. It's like for that hour and a half set, everything shitty that is going on in the world is just forgotten.
sappy sappy.. I know.

I think Shawnie has been to 10 and Casey has been to 15. How would it count as two if we were both at the same one?

Thats a hard one.
When it comes to Mike, I would research his favorite bands and try to aim for things like vinyls for them. OH! even better. Gift cards to Taco Bell or Taco Bueno. Dunno if you can get a Bell one online but heres the link to Bueno. And of course Dr.Pepper. You can NEVER go wrong with getting him a case or two of Dr. Pepper.

Usually when people think of Nick, they think Muppets. I would try not to get him any of the Muppet movies, because he has them all, and multiple copies of most of them thanks to fans being nice and getting them for him. Another thing people think of is Starbucks. Though he prefers good ol' Aspen Coffee Co (which is located in Stillwater, OK) they dont have gift cards there that you can get online (or even at all.. I have no idea) so maybe a Starbucks gift card. You can never have too much overpriced coffee!
Tyson is probably easiest since he is such a free spirit. Go to a vintage store, or even a cool thrift shop and see if anything catches your eye that reminds you of him.
Chris. Gah, I don't really know too much about the boy. I believe his favorite band is The Who. Try getting him something Who-tastic, like a vintage vinyl, or an old Band T-shirt. Ebay is a good place to start.
Toad... I don't know very much about him either. His favorite "toad" stuffed animal got taken last year. You can try to look for a unique toad stuffie for him. Nothing will top the original one that I miss seeing on stage with him, but you can try. I also think he has a thing for classic cars.
Hope that helped. -
Why do we like them? Why do they exist? You are going to have to be more specific.

Shawnie's is Swing Swing, for personal reasons.
Casey's is a tie between Night Drive (live w/ talk box) because its just amazing, and The Cigarette Song, because Ty's voice was amazing in that song. But I guess I could also add Bite Back because of the guitar solo.
