(All concert pics were taken by The FL Times Union so don't email me about trading)

It was like WHOA!We are gonna give you peeps the full 411 on our experience cuz nothing cool ever comes to our redneck city of Jacksonville,FL. I highly recommend your read everything cuz we are lucky bitches and we meet cool people! :)

I picked up Kid Nicky & Q (our pal) and headed to our hotel, The Radisson, which by the way, was in the heart of stalkdom! To our dismay, no one was at our hotel but we just drove on over to The Omni. Coincidentally, Mandy Moore's limo had just pulled away. But its all good, cuz we met some homegirls from the BSB concert and we hung out with them. They told us that Sisqo had left to go to the movies and they weren't sure about who else was there. I left Kid Nicky there and Q and I went down the road to scope out the Hilton and our hotel again. No sign at our crib, but there was some action at the Hilton. Three super stretch limos were there and some *NSYNC fans were hanging around. So we haul ass to the Omni to pick up Kid Nicky and bring the homegirls over. When we pick up Kid Nicky, she tells me that she had just met Mr & Mrs Fatone. She called him BOFF and he responded to him. When she got her pic taken with them, Mr Phat-One said,"Now lets all say the magic word...BACKSTREET BOYS!" Oh,he's got Joey's humor.

So we're at the Hilton now and we see NO ONE! We do know that Mandy Moore was there (I guess she switched hotels???), along with 98 Degrees and Jessica Simpson. While we were checking out the Lobby, the 2 guys from A*TEENS come in. We walk up to them and the blonde boy had a serious attitude problem. I was like, geez, your album is a flop in the US and you're shit doesn't stink. Then the blonde girl joined them and she was nicer and she's TALL. I was like WHOA! To make a long story short, we rode up and down in the elevators to the 7th floor and took the stairs to the 10th floor where ther celebrity suites were and ran up and down the halls. Someone had left their food outside their room for room service to pick up and I dared Kid Nicky to grab it! LOL...But security got pissed at us and they threw us off their property. We go back to the Omni and wait for Sisqo.

And we wait....we wait....and we wait...til finally a blonde and a brunette guy walk in. Kid Nicky tells the blonde that he has a nice jean jacket and he says "Thank you" in his IRISH accent. He left in the elevator after we realized it was half of WESTLIFE. Lucky for us, Nicky walks in the door and I point at him and go,"WESTLIFE!!" and he nods at me. I ask for a picture and his PR takes the pic of us with him.

He was really nice and he's a fucking hottie and my new boyfriend. On the other hand, Kid Nicky scared him cuz she had one too many Long Island Ice Teas. It was sooo funny cuz hes trying to be all nice and shes up on his stuff and telling him 30 times that her name is Nicky and his name is Nicky,too! LOL

After Nicky left, we waited about another hour and a van pulls up and a bunch of big black guys walk into the lobby wearing Dragon necklaces. I was like,"unleash the dragon,eh?" and they smiled at me cuz I'm a weird white girl. But then Sisqo's bodyguard walks in and in comes teeny meeny itsy bitsy SISQO. He is atleast 5'4"....maybe 5'5" with some Timbs on,but I was towering over him. He was really nice to all of us and we got pics and autographs with him.

In between all this commotion, we got all friendly with the FOX channel peeps and Cory & Sherri from THE HI FI ROOM.

They told us to meet them at the Coliseum at 10am so we could be filmed for a special episode of THE HI FI ROOM called "The Road To Music Mania". They would be introducing clips and we'd be standing behind them screaming and acting....so we were pumped up for our national tv debut!Well, then it was about midnight and it turns out that *NSYNC weren't coming to town until Sunday morning,sowe all retreat back to our hotels and get much needed rest!

We all wake up and get ready and are out the door at 9:15am. We go get breakfast at Burger King cuz we can't be hungry on national tv. We arrive at the Coliseum at around 9:45 and meet our homegirls from The Omni. We chit chat and talk about the concert,when at around 10:30am, our FOX peeps show up. They set up shop and start filming little sequences with Kid Nicky & I directly behind Cory & Sherri. So, when that episode comes on...watch out for us. You can't miss us cuz we're camera hoggers and easy to find!

No one really famous comes by,but we do see Scary Security Guy from the *NSYNC crew. He's actually the stage manager, Anthony is his name. He had blue tips on his long hair and all of the *NSYNC crew was wearing NSA shirts. Whatever....wanna get noticed? And then, we see a familair face walking down the grassy knoll and I yell "RUBEN!!!!" It was Greasy Ruben from the *NSYNC Band. He waved at us and then the leechy teenybopper fans copied us and started calling his name and he looked annoyed cuz he knew deep in his heart that WE recognized him first.

We filmed more intros with the HI FI ROOM people and get pictures taken. Cory is sooooo nice and I was attracted to him.I clicked with Sherri cuz during one intro, everyone screams "*NSYNC!!!!" and she turns around and we hi-five eachother and jump up and down. So when you see that....its ME! She loved my shirt cuz she had the same one and when I called for powder cuz I was all shiny, she turns around and blots my face with her powder puff! I got a pic taken with them and chit chat about the day.

During our filming, a group of 4 girls walks about in front of the security gate and I knew who they were,so I scream..."PYT!!!" and they look at me and smile. I'm sure I scared them since I'm 22 and they're like 13. Basically, they gave away a ticket to a fan and left. Then Don Phillip came out and I told him how his cousin was my brother's roomie. He asked me his name and I said,"John" and he's like..."Yeah, John Paul. Cool!" and he's grabbing my hand the entire time. He's got a nice booty...yummy!
