*My Concert Experience*
So wanna hear about the best day of my life?

Well, read on!

Well, I got up at 7:00, and forced myself to try and look human and not scare the living daylights outta Gloria. (I'm guessing I suceeded, she didn't scream.)
8:35- On the road. Listening to the radio and talking. After awhile (about an hour (??) I guess) I stopped trying to pick up the radio and slipped in Shinia Twain, after that we moved on to Blink 182. Then Metallica (NEWSFLASH!! Mom actually listened to Metallica! (This is the time I learned she like AC/DC and about passed out from shock). Well, about 10:35, we had to pee like hell and needed gas, so we stopped in Texarkana (Arkansas/Texas border, people at the State Departments sure are creative aren't they?).
12:34- Stopping at Micky D's :) 48 miles. . . . almost there! Have now added Limp Bizkit and Third Eye Blind to the list of listened to CD's.
Sometime in the afternoon areound 1:00- We'reeee hereeeee!!!!!


Pic taken from Hyatt Regency Elevator after dumping our stuff in the room.

We ran all over (and I mean all over).
Here's the first bus to pull up

Unfortantly this is the bus that got us in trouble with security. See, we decided to walk around this bus, then we were like what the heck, let's touch it so we can say we did. So we walked up to the side and two gaurds bust out the door yelling at us to 'GET AWAY FROM THE BUS!!'


Soon after, even more buses came

I'm like, 'dang, exactly how many buses do they have?'
(By the way, the anwser's 9).
Here's a shot that shows most of the buses (and a few fans):

Then came the dancers.

The blonde one that everyone kept mistaking for Nick's girlfriend/ex/etc. is really sweet, she waved at the fans, plus she's a really good dancer. (SO QUIT ATTACKING THE POOR GIRL!!)

Well, we bought t-shirts and stuff (Hint: Bring well over 50 bucks, this stuff's expensive!!!) and mom took them back to the hotel while me and Gloria waited. Well, that's when I had to pee, very badly I might add. We didn't wanna leave, so we ended up waiting around. Finally I convienced one of the DJ's to let me inside with her to go pee, she was very nice and got me past security. (BIG UPS TO HER!!) hey, I'm curious, so while we were walking to the bathroom I was trying to see into the arena. Someone was on stage, I'm not sure who, heck, it coulda been the lighting crew, who knows, but I loooked anyway the best I could see. Anyway, after getting back outside after going pee I met up with mom and Gloria, like at ticketmaster, first in line at the door too!!! Finally they got smart and let us in the doors at 6:00 (if you were at the back at least) we were one of the first fans to actually get into the arena and get seated.

At 7:00 the first opening act hit the stage, The Jungle Brothers. These guys aren't only good, but they're hilarious, they had the whole crowd involved and going. Here's a pic of them walking around with these huge peace signs while singing a song called VIP:

after they left the stage Willa Ford took over. (Formerly known as Mandah, Mandy and Amanda (just wondering, exactly how many names does she have?!?). She wasn't all that bad. . . at points, despise the fact it was very obvious she was lip singing. I have to say something, when your on a round stage, DON'T STAY ON ONE SIDE!! I swear, she drove me nuts by staying over there (may I take the time to say whoever the fans were with the light-up BSB sign, I could not only see it from the other side of the arena, I could read it too! Pretty cool!). Oh, here's a pic of Willa when she actually remembered she had an audience that was tired of looking at her butt.

It doesn't show in the pic, but I seriously wondered exactly how long it took her to get on that top, cause her boob was about to pop out the side from the looks of how tight it was. (No joke, I was seriously wondering about that)
at this point Gloria looked down and pointed, that's when we realized the Jungle Brothers were right below us! We tried to get their attention to see if we could get them to sign something for us, but no such luck. Maybe they had earplugs in, who knows.
Here's another one of Willa with her dancers:

Then, finally, after she got off the stage THANK GOD
(*Happy side note* Almost everyone sat through her whole performance and didn't get into it at all, she's really not that good, but she has one song that's actually pretty good.)
and on came. . .BSB (wooHOO!!!).
As I'm sure you know, they start out by flying over the audience to the tune of Star Wars:
.
they land on stage and the dancers help them out of the harnesses (and exactly why did Nick kiss that one dancer on the cheek?!?) then take this formation:

while singing Larger Than Life. Here's some pics from the first few songs:



Brian
Brian again
and once more (he was on our side the most)

Guess who, yup, Brian.

Whadda know! Brian!

Kevin! (duh)

This be Nick!
All of them!
See Brian. See Brian fly. Fly Brian Fly!
Brian


This just shows a good shot of the stage, more or less.

AJ during That's the Way I Like It


Now That's the Way I Like It! AJ with no shirt!!
That's the Way I Like It (it's what song I took these pics during)
Final shot, my favorite!(besides AJ with no shirt!)
Yeah, I have many many more pics, mine and Gloria's in fact. But this was a glimpse into the best night of my life, hope you liked it!
