We had a lot of time until it was 7:30 p.m., concert time. But since I had never been to a concert before, I had no idea what kind of work that had to be done before a concert. So we told the driver to speed up and we were back within the hour.
"Come on, we have about 20 minutes to do whatever before our schedule is officially going to begin." Ike said as we all got out of the car and stretched.
"Yeah, but what are we gonna do until concert time?" I asked as we started walking back to the guys' room.
"Well, I guess you could still hang with us, see what it's like before a concert." Tay said.
"Okay, sounds like fun! We could take notes if we ever got a band together!" I said winking at Bianca. Then she giggled.
Then we reached the room and Ike opened the door. We all walked in and sat down in various chairs and furniture in the room to relax from the trip.
"Man that was a really cool place!" Zac said.
"Yeah, we thought you guys would like it." I said.
"Well, you thought right! I had a great time! We gotta do that again." Tay exclaimed.
And for the next 15 minutes, all we could talk about was the Getty, and all of the great works of art we had seen.
Our short relaxing time soon ended and we followed the guys to one of the rooms down the long hall backstage. In there, there was a tall mirror and racks full of clothes. There was also another room inside that room. I guess it was the changing room or something. We walked in and Ike shut the door behind him.
"So what do we do now?" I asked as Bianca and I pulled out a mini clip board and a pen with feathers coming out of the top, from our backpacks, we were ready to take notes. They laughed at the site.
"This has got to be the first time I have ever seen two girls in a wardrobe room taking notes on what to wear! It's just not American!" Tay said as a tall woman in a long cheetah print dress and a measuring tape around her neck, walked into the room and in front of the 5 of us, we were sitting on a bench that was by the door. We all giggled at Tay's comment and I brushed a strand of hair that had come loose from my many butterfly clips.
"Okay, shall we begin?" The lady said.
"Sure Charline." Ike said.
"Now, go ahead and pick out something that you want to wear and we'll work from there." Charline said pulling one of the many racks into the center of the room.
After about 45 outfits, and an hour later, the wardrobe for tonight's concert had been chosen, and Binkies and I got some really cute boots and shirts. And Charline gave us a certificate for the Gap! It's amazing how generous people can be.
Then it was time for practice. They said that this would take about two hours max, so they suggested that if we wanted, we could go back to our room for a while. So we said okay and we walked back.
When we went in, we decided that we should go walk the dog around the front where they were setting up the merchandise booths. So we put Gus' leash on and made our way down the small backyard, past the stage where we waved to the guys who were setting up their instruments, and we arrived at the bottom section. We then slowly made our way down the hill, we had a clear view of the front gate, and we saw TONS of people screaming, waiting for the concert. Gus liked the attention and he dragged us closer. I couldn't stop him! I was afraid that the fans would tear him apart so Bianca grabbed the leash and we both pulled him to safety.
"Hey, how come you're in there already!?" One really hyper fan shouted. We were about to walk away when we heard her. So we stopped to answer her question, then the other fans started asking the same thing.
"Well, we, well, uh, we're walking their guard dog!" I said as I took control of Gus again.
"Liar!!" the girl shouted. So we turned and ran for our lives! They must've known that we had some kind of connection with Hanson because they screamed even louder!
