2:00 AM
Carly almost got her car towed away....not a good start for our trip. This trip was not just a Nsync trip...it happens that my family was having a get together in Las Vegas on that weekend...::pretends not to have anything to do with it::.. Anyway we had to wait until my San Francisco cousins got to my house before we could leave. San Francisco and my house (San Jose) are about an hour away...We drove straight through to Las Vegas.
6:00 AM
Crystal got everybody lost..oops, we were supposed to turn right 30 miles ago (my bad).
10:30 AM
We made it! Its only like 102º outside...Rest, what is that? We all said we were going to sleep, but instead we all had as much energy as JC at a concert. Speaking of concerts...
6:00 PM
Concert time. Took us forever to get there. Sam Boyd Stadium is the worst venue I have ever been to. We found the Nsync Fan Bus and stopped by to say hi. Winter told us that they had just got there , because they had gotten a flat tire:( They still didn't have any tickets for Challenge for the Children...I offered my extra tickets and told them we would be there early if they wanted them. We then tried to go to will call, but we were cut off. They made everyone wait at the bottom of the stairs and come through lines, even will call people. It was so dumb. I would never go back to Sam Boyd it was just horrible. It was just chaos and miscommunication. We had three extra tickets, since it was only Carly, Alicia and I, and we had upgraded tickets the night before. Luckily we were able to sell two of our three tickets. Differences with Sam Boyd concert and Oakland concerts:
- Steve was the MC...He was way better than our Djs.
- Sam Boyd is small!! We had seats by VIP and the second stage and yet we were still only in the 53rd row.
- A LOT of celebrities were there. Everyone who was there ended up being in Challenge.
- I saw this girl that I met in Oakland the day I was buying tickets for the show on the 22nd. This makes the 3rd time I have seen her in the last week...I saw her both nights in Oakland.
- Opening acts were different even though it was only one week since our shows they were:
Not So Boyband, Christina Milian, Meredith Edwards, Eden's Crush, Dante Thomas. It was Eden's Crush's last night on the tour. Meredith Edwards was signing autographs after Dante Thomas, but we were in line since Eden's Crush. Meredith is soo nice.(Carly cried when she met Meredith.)
- Wade showed his face right before Nsync came out...we knew that because we saw him run into the underneath of the second stage.
- JC did the running man instead of the cabbage patch during Celebrity.
We left when Nsync was going back to the main stage to do their "disappearing act". We just wanted to beat traffic, but ended up in it for over an hour.
(Did I mentition that I hate Sam Boyd Stadium?)
