I saw the guys in concert on November 9th, 2000 at their concert in Cincy, OH. That's when my friend and I got our pictures taken with Nate and Gabe!! They were so nice, so cute, smelled so good, and we were cold, so we stood close!!!!!!! Loved it. Nate and Gabe were running out to their bus and we spotted them and my friend, Lisa yelled "GABE!" across the parking lot. Gabe started jumping up and down with his arms in the air. And then my friend and I started running towards them and she yells, again, "CAN WE GET A PICTURE WITH YOU?" So they, of course, stopped and we approached them. Lisa got her picture taken 1st and, obviously, stood in the middle of the 2 of them. Here's their convo:

Gabe: "Man, it's cold out here!"

Lisa: "Oh, sorry!"

Nate: "That's ok, we'll cuddle." (HE SAID WE'LL CUDDLE!)

Then, she took her camera back from me and Gabe started walking on the bus, and Nate just looked at me and I then asked if I could have a picture too. Here's how that convo goes:

Alexis: "Can I have a picture too?"

Nate: "Sure"....(To Gabe) "Gabe, Gabe, come back here."

And Gabe got off the bus to take one more picture with me. I always makes a fool of myself and said:

Alexis: "Yea!! You have to wait for me!"

And when I put my arm around him, I accidentally lifted up Gabe's coat!!! OH NO!

Then, when Lisa took that pic, she said...

Lisa: "Thanks guys, have a safe trip."

Alexis: "Thanks!"

It was so special.

One more time, when Gabe was so nice was when they were doing their autograph signing. Lisa was not in line but she was up by the table and Gabe was not signing an autograph at the time, so she went "Gabe, look here." And he did, and then some lady that was at the table started walking in front of her camera and Gabe leaned over so she could get the pic. WHAT A SWEETHEART!!! LOVE IT!!!!!!

April 5, 2001 -- Elkhart, IN  (first show on the tour)
I got to meet the guys with meet and greet passes before the concert.  You know, I knew they were going to be nice and sweet, but they were so INCREDIBLY sweet, I was honestly shocked.  My sister and I were in the back of the line and we had to go down a flight of stairs to meet them.  So, when my sister and I reached the bottom, the other girls were already getting their pics taken with them and having them sign things.  Basically my sister and I were just standing off to the side waiting.  Then, I look across the room and Gabe just starts waving "hi" to me!  How cute is that?:)  They all took individual pictures with me (except Jason and Gabe, I got a picture with the both of them), and I actually had a conversation with Jeremy and a little one with Nathan.  Jeremy was basically talking about how much he loved this tour more than the other one because it was bigger and better.  He was also telling us that the guys needed prayers because they were so nervous because it was the first time they've done that concert!!  He also mentioned that he was worried whether us, the fans, would like the show or not.  So, if you see them....tell them how great it is!  Nathan and I were just talking about how I would be seeing them in a week.  He's so cute...definitely my favorite.  Jason asked where I was from and I told him "Ohio" and he asked "Where at?"  He genuinely sounded interested...it was sweet of him!   The concert was great!  Rachael Lampa has such a strong voice, and Stacie Orrico was a great dancer.  Plus ONE was awesome!  Their voices were amazing, and their dancing ability was looking great!  The only songs on their cd that they didn't sing were "Here In My Heart" and "My Friend."  They did do two songs from different soundtracks, "With All Your Heart" (Pokemon 2000 soundtrack), and "I Need A Miracle" (Left Behind soundtrack).  They also sang the hymn, "I Could Sing of Your Love Forever" in which they played instruments for (Nathan-piano, Gabe-guitar, and Jason-bongos).  Along with the wonderful songs, they had GREAT dance moves, they practically danced during all the songs!! All in all they were amazing.....are we surprised?:)

April 12, 2001 -- Columbus, OH
     Well, I was blessed with yet another enounter with the guys.  I got my meet and greet passes through the fan club (Big shoutout to Reba and Michelle....they're awesome!).  On our way downstairs to see the guys, Shawn, the road manager mentioned we only had three minutes to spend with the guys and we could either get a picture with them or an autograph.  I was kinda upset...
     When we got down there, I talked to Jeremy first.  I introduced myself to him, and mentioned that I had seen him last week in Indiana.  That's when my sister came up, and he said that when he saw the two of us together....he remembered us!  GO JEREMY!!  (He was so sweet and sincere!).  After Jeremy, I introduced myself to Jason and Gabe.  Nate was next, but he and Nathan were talking to a couple girls.  So, I kinda snuck to the end and walked up to Nathan.  (The week before, when I got my picture taken with Nathan, it didn't turn out too well...my eyes were half way closed.  To get a couple laughs out of the guys, I enlarged that picture and put a post-it note on top of my face and drew a little smiley face.)  I went over to Nathan and told him I had something funny for him and I gave it to him.  Both Nate and Gabe were looking over his shoulders laughing....it was so cute.  Nathan laughed too!  I succeeded!  After taking a couple group pictures (I was standing next to Nathan) the meet and greet was over:(  And, of course....the concert was AWESOME!
     After the show, the guys were having an autograph signing, so I got in line.  After Jason and Jeremy signed my picture, it got passed to Gabe.  Gabe started lifting up the post-it note, and I was "NO...you can't do that!!"  (you know.....joking!)  So, he started laughing at me.  When I got to the end, by Nathan, he asked me for my name, and he actually personalized my picture.  He wrote: "TO: Alexis"  My friend also enlarged a picture that I took of her, Gabe, and Nate back in November, and she had all the guys sign it.  The picture got to Gabe, and Nate leaned over and said, "I remember that night!"  And, my friend was shocked and said, "Shut up!  Really?"  And Nate goes, "Yeah, wasn't it really cold?"  Then Gabe pipes in, "Yeah, just look at our faces!"  Again......April 12th, was a night I'll never forget!!

Cincinatti, OH (Crystal Clear Tour w/ Jaci Velasquez)
I first saw Plus One on the Jaci Velasquez Crystal Clear Tour in Cincinnati this past fall.. they were awesome!! me and my friends had about fifth row seats, so that was pretty cool, we got to see a lot from there... when the concert was over we got in the line for autographs, i was SO excited!! we finally got up to the guys and it went (from the nearest to me) Jeremy, Nate, Gabe, Nathan, and Jason at the end... i didn't really talk to Jeremy, but he signed my poster and smiled and said "Thanks for coming!!" he was so cute:), Nate was next and i had been thinking of a question to ask them so that they would remember me you know? cause everybody always asks the same things... so i walked up to Nate and asked him who he voted for (in this past presidential election), he looked at me and smiled and kinda looked away and said "Do you REALLY need to know?" and i was like "Well ... kinda yeah" and i smiled, so he smiled really big then and was like "Bush." and i said "Good, good!!" and then he kinda laughed and signed my poster, and then i came up to Gabe and i asked him the same question, but it was funny cause he was almost totally oblivious to the fact that i had my poster on the table for him to sign, so i kinda had to push it at him... i felt kinda bad... anyways i asked him whol he voted for and he was like "I didn't vote" and i was like "Why??" and he said, "Cause I wasn't.. there..." i didn't really know what to say to that so i just smiled and passed my poster down the table.... i think Gabe was just shy, has anyone else noticed that? anyway, next was Nathan, HOTT:), and i asked him the same question, when i asked him he stopped right in the middle of signing my poster and looked at me and smiled REALLY big and said in a teasing way "I can't tell you:)" it was SO cute:) and i was like "Yes you can:)" and he just shook his head like, yeah right:), anyway, he was really cute:):):) and then Jason at the end, i didn't really talk much to him either, he was a little pre-occupied at that moment so i didn't try to talk... WELL there you have it, my first encounter with Plus One

Atlanta, GA - May 20, 2001
I went to a Plus One concert may 19.I went with my Aunt, uncle, brother (14), boy cousin (9), girl cousin (6) and my friend (11) and me (13) it was AWESOME!!!!! OH, i loved it! It was my 2nd +1 concert. We got prety close to the stage, and they sang great. I was kinda dissapointed, because I couldn't go to the meet "n Greet, but it didn't matter, and this is why: After the concert, they got in a whitwe van, and a police man stopped people from following them. but, my aunt saw which way they went and when we got out of the parking lot, she said to look for a white van. i saw one in a steak house, and said so. But my 9 year old boy cousin was yelling "no! thats not it! thats a suburban! no!" But I was saying it was, so we pulled in and me and my 6 year old girl cousin went in to see if they were there. I saw Jason's hair behind a booth and I about passed out! My cousin and I ran outside yelling, "their here! their here!" so we went inside again, this time with my aunt and everyone else. I peeked around a booth, and sitting there was Nate (my fav) with some girl, and Gabe. Nate said hi, and I almost passed out again, lol. Nate was playing around and he threw a peanut shell at my six year old cousin, lol. It was that kinda place you could throw peanut shells on the floor. My friend went over and talked to Jeremy. she said she was their biggest fan and Jeremy said "that's what the girl in Texas said" and my friend said, "well, she lied" and He laughed and gave her a peanut. she said she was going to put it on a little display case in her room, lol. Their manager said we couldn't bother them, cause they were eating. But we got a table close to them, and there was this short wall thing in between us and +1, and we kept peeking at them. everytime one of them went to the bathroom, my cousin and brother folowed them in, lol. and everytime Stacie Oricco and Racheal Lampa went in, my friend, my cousin and I followed them. My 6 year old cousin was starring at Racheal, lol, and it was right when she was talking to her friend, her friend was upset about something. and I talked to Stacie. We got pictures and autographs with Nate, Gabe, Jason, Jeremy and Stacie, but Nathan left early so we couldn't get a picture or autograph and so did Rachael. We had them sign our menu's. We talked a bit with Jason and Nate and Gabe, and with Stacie. When they left we got their straws, lol. I got Nate's, my bro got Gabe's my boy cousin got Jeremy's and my friend got Jason's. but they cleared away Nathan's before we could get it.
