NSA Tour - November 26th, 2000
This is a story about two girls named Talene and Espe. Lol. At 7am I woke up and got ready to go to the *NSYNC concert. My friend Espe was up at the crack of dawn. At 8am I picked her up and we went to Albertson's and bought some food for our long day. We went back to my house and left for the concert around 9am. We got to the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California at around 9:45am. We went over and made friendly conversation with some fellow concert goers. At 1pm my fave radio station 102.7 KIISFM was going to be hosting an *NSYNC carnival. Me and 5 other *NSYNCer's waited for the carnival to start and hoped to win front row tickets by being the most dressed in *NSYNC and KIISFM stuff. I slapped *NSYNC and KIISFM stickers all over my outfit but never won tickets. Oh well, it was OK cuz I still had 14th row tickets. Anyway, at the carnival there were 5 *NSYNC wannabe's who were so adorable. The guy pretending to be Justin was awesome. He was so fine and such a great dancer. Espe went on some carnival rides (she felt sick afterwards). At 6pm the doors to the Staples Center were suppost to open. Unfortunately, they were late in doing so. Once the doors opened fans cheered. We went inside and found our seats and to our amazement they were closer than I could have ever imagined. I started to cry, I was crying like a mad woman. They were all tears of joy, of course. A security guard came up to me and asked what was wrong. And I just said "nothing, I'm just really happy," he looked at me like I was so weird. lol. Anyway once the opening acts started off things were getting so much more exciting. First, Ron Irizarry came on. No one was really listening. Sorry!! Then Meredith Edwards who I thought sang really well. She has a very strong country accent. Then Dream came on and they were awesome. Everyone liked them. Lil Bow Wow came on and he was the cutest little thing I ever saw. Before he left the stage he said to the audience to drive home safely so no one gets hurt in an accident. He looked so cute when he said that. Then Baha Men came on and no one was really excited about that except for when they sang 'Who Let the Dogs Out.' The guys had to bark when they said who let the dogs out and the girls had to meow when they said who let the cats out. It was funny. Anyway after what felt like a long intermission the lights went off and the show began. It was EXACTLY like the first part of the No Strings Attached tour except a few changes. Joey with his blonde hair and Justin without his famous bandanas. I was so excited to finally be seeing *NSYNC's faces so closely. All it took was 4 tries before I got that close to them. Instead of singing 'I Thought She Knew' the guys sang 'O Holy Night,' which was beautiful. During This 'I Promise You' they were passing by on the moving stage and they were so close I was going crazy. But then the usual 'Bye Bye Bye' came on and the concert was over. it was awesome.
PS. I know that was mainly a review of what I did before the concert but I don't wanna bore you guys with the same review as last time. If you wanna know what happened at the concert you can read my review from the Rose Bowl on June 9th, 2000.
