*Annalies Experience*

Thursday, July 29, The day before we left to Concord, California , we needed to make hotel reservations. Our friend Heather called around Concord to find all the "four star hotels". She found out that there was only two four star hotels, The Concord Hilton and The Sheraton. Heather called both hotels, she asked the lady from the Sheraton is she knew if 98 degrees was staying there. The lady said, "not that i know of". Next Heather called The Concord Hilton. The lady there said she was not able to give out that information. So, we assumed that they were probably staying at the Concord Hilton. July 30, the day of the Concord concert we left town to Concord, about 4hrs away. We got to the Hilton at about noon. We(my mom, my sister, me and Heather) checked into our hotel, and started walking around. When we saw a section of the parking lot blocked off with yellow tape, and a tour bus inside it. We stood around it for a while, wondering who's it was. Finally we went to hang out by the pool, thats when my mom walks up to us with a big smile on her face and we were like, "why is she smiling?". We ran over to her and we were like what?, and she was all, I just heard the lady on the telephone confirming 98's reservations for here tonight. We all were really excited, even though we really werent obsessed over 98, we just liked them. That's when Heather and I decided to go up to the tour bus, to find out who's it was. We walked up, and my sister Kenna, was like NO YOU GUYS! and we were all, Were going, this is a once in a life time chance. We walked up and was looking through the open tour bus door when a man came to the front. He spoke english but not well. We asked who's tour bus this was and he was all, "oh, it is for a boy" and we were all, "a boy?" and he was all "yes...do you wanna come in?" and we were all, "YEAH". So we came in and there was like blankets and shoes and toys everywhere. And I was all, "is he famous or something?" and he was all, "well kinda, he will soon be". And I was all, "oh, is he performing at the concert tonight?" and he was all "yeah!" and we were all, "how old is he?" and he was all, "oh, 10, 11, 12?" and we started laughing and were all, "oh". Thats when we saw autographed pics of him and his name "Baby DC", and pictures that he signed autgraphs on. And we were all, "can we meet him?" and he was all, "yeah, he is sleeping right now, but you can at 2:30" and we were like "awesome". So we went back to the hotel,and got dressed . We waited in the hotel loby, when a bunch of black guys came in with guitars, and 98 all access backstage passes. We asked them if they were going to play at the concert tonight, and they were all, "yeah, were 98's band" and we were like "Oh, really?" and another guy was all, "no, he is messing with you" and then we asked the guy again, "So are you going to be at the concert?" and more seriously, he says, "yeah, were 98's band". We went out to the tour bus again, at 2:30 and thats when a car with two girls drove up, and asked if we were waiting for 98. And we said yeah, but we dont know if they are going to come here, wer just waiting for Baby DC (we had already made a plan we werent going to tell any fans that 98 was at our hotel, because we didnt want a whole swarm of girls, lol). The girls were so nice that we couldnt lie to them. We told them 98 was staying here tonight. One of them was going to the conert that night, but the other had no tickets. So we were waiting in front of Baby Dc's bus and Baby Dc was late. Finally the bus driver came out and told us Baby would be coming out through the front. So we went to the front of the hotel while we were waiting a guy in a cab pulled up. He was wearing a hat so he looked like he was trying to disguise himself. he jumped outta the cab and walked in the front of the hotel. We knew he was famour by the way he was dressed, casual but expensive and nice clothes. We asked one of the guys who talked to him who hew as and he said he was part of a group who was performing at the concer that night called "EYC" (Express Yourself Clearly). So, the next time he came out we wanted a pic with him. WE were all, Hey your that guy from EYC huh! And he kinda snubbed us off and was all, Yep see ya at the concert tonight. We were like, O-K-A-Y. Then a bunch of teenage black girls came out and we were all are you dancers for Baby Dc? And she had a big smile and was all, yes I am. And, then we asked another lady if she was, and she was all, "no, I am his mom, but he isnt here right now, he left early this morning" and we were like "OHHHHH, haha". And she was all, "thanks so much for supporting him". Then Heather got up to walk over to the bus to talk to his mom. And she invited heather in and they talked for a little while. Since we knew 98 wasnt going to come to the hotel since they were doing a radio interview at four we decided to get ready again and go eat and then head to the concert. When we got the concert the line was really long. We basically cut in to the very front. When we got in the guys directed us and told us that "No Authority" was signing autographs right now. So we walked over there got in line with a bunch of little screaming girls, which we couldnt understand because they arent that popular in the U.S. We ended up buying a $5 poster for them to sign, or else we didnt have anything for them to sign. When we got up there I was surprised how Danny had acne, they abviously air brush pictures. I got up there whil the DJ was playing "Where my girls at?" by 702 and all of the members of NA were singing it. I was like OH my god, lol. I asked Tommy to sign it out to me, we said hi, made quick eye contact and left. We visited other booths at the concert, then headed to our seats because No Authority was already playing. My 5th row seat was behind about ten rows of people in the Orchestra section. I was close but I didnt see the point of me being behind all those pople when there was barelly anyone filling the seats in front of me. I scooted up the 1st row behind the orchestra with my sister, and then from there we all sneaked up to about 4th row orchestra. There we could see real good. I took pics of Na, and was surprised at how well they performed, now I actually like some of their songs. After Na left the Dj played a couple songs which were mainly boy band groups with the crowd loved like The Backstreet Boys, and Nsync. The DJ would turn off the music and let us sing to the music, the crowd really knew the BSB, Nsync and Brittney Spears' songs by heart. Next came EYC, they were okay. But the guy i met earlier that day wasnt as cute as when he was when he had a hat on. That group was basically obsessed with their own bodies. Next came Tatyana Ali. She was really good, she is soo pretty in person. At one point she contributed songs to her 'big brother' Will Smith, she sang parts of Miami, Gettin Jiggy..., Wild Wild..., etc. At the end of her act she through out white carnations and since Heather is so tall she caught two of them, they both ended up breaking though. During Tayana's show a guard walked up to us and we had to go back to our seats. After she left the DJ did his normal thing and next came on B*Withced, their main fan base was little girls. They pumped up the crowd with "Say La Ve" while paper-green four leaf clovers came streaming down on the crowd. Again the DJ played music while "Monica" was setting up. By the time she came on it started to get dark, and people were filling seats fast, on the anticipation that 98* was next. Monica came on and she sang the longest. During her act Heather went to go get something to drink for us, since we were dying of thirst. Since Heather hadn't come back in like 20min I knew she must have been backstage or something. When she did come running up to me she just handed me the coke and said she was trying to get backstage. I ran after her and there we were standing outside the backstage doors begging the guards to let us in, of course he wouldn't budge. We told all the fans that they were staying at our hotel, but we tortured them when we wouldn't tell them what hotel. A couple girls walked out from backstage with 98*'s autographs and backstage passes. Heather asked a girl in a group of 4 girls that went backstage if she coule have the pass, she ripped it off and handed it to her. I ran up to the group of girls and asked them and a girl ripped hers off and gace it to me, also she gave me a glossy photo for 98* to sign. I freaked out and was all, "are you sure?" and she was all, "yeah, haha" and I gave her a hug and ran to the front of the line. (if you are that girl or think to might be that girl e-mail me ,Tayzgerl@hotmail.com) The guard yelled that people without backstage passes needed to leave and people who did have passes needed to stand against the wall. Me and Heather did, except for our backstage pass was only good if you had someone to escort you back there. We begged Baby Dc's manager and told him we would buy his album when it came out. He finally took us back there. When we got back there, we turned a corner and there was 98*. They were standing in a group barelly three ft. away from me taking a group photo with a couple little kids. My first thought about Nick was OH MY GOD, he doesn't have a big nose, like in pictures. Heather and I waited patiently for our turn, after they took that ONE picture, they said, "sorry guys, we have to guy on stage, BYE!" then they left. I was like NO! NO! NO! and I started to cry even though I am not a bery big fan (?) haha. We were forced to go back to our seats. I went back basically crying, and I ran up to Kenna and told her what happened. Finally Monica left the stage and the DJ was playing music and getting the crowd revved up for 98* which wasn't hard. Between shows a small part of the cast would come out and say something like , "is it hot in here?" to eachother, and the other would say, "yeah, like what is the temperature?" and the other would say, "I think it is like 98* or something" and the crowd would scream, then they introduced 98*. When they came on they were in glass tubes with lots of fog around them making the stage look cold, you couldn't see any of them in these tubes. There was a theory to this, see...in 2012(?) the world dramaticlly froze over, and they called in 98* to come and heat up the world. So 98* slowly opened thier tubes dressed in white jump suits and slowly stepped out on stage well choreographed and each one timed exactly same to the others. Then they took off their helmets and the crowd went crazy at the first glimpse of 98*. The automatically jumped into singing "heat it up" and when they said "heat it up" they would wave their hands up in the air. They were all wearing JUST a black vest showing lots of muscles and blue cargo pants, I just have three words, JEFF! JEFF! JEFF! They really knew how to work the crowd and werent shy. They sang basically all of their singles and more songs. By the middle of their act heather and I moved up to Kenna's 1st row behind the orchestra seats. Since the guard had already warned us dozens of times not to move from there we knew we werent going to be able to move very far. So when the guard wasn't looking I ran over to about 5th row orchestra seats, I was sitting next to a girl and her mom, who were not very friendly. I was standing on the seats to get a better look and to try to get some extra attention standing above all other girls. The girl I was next to rudely asked me to GET DOWN! I got down and let her take her pics. Then like 5min later I got up again and took some pics. they yelled again for me to get down, So i did. And every once in a while we would exchange curse words at eachother. After like 3 songs the guard found me and told me to go back to my seat. I did, and as i was walking past the girl and her mom they said things like "HAHA" and i was all "I DONT CARE, I ALREADY WENT BACKSTAGE" and they kept doing that so i got in the moms face knowing i would probably never see her again and I had my middle finger flipping her off directly in front of her face. Thats when she slapped my hand away from her face and scratched me on purpose. I started yelling at her to NOT TOUCH ME! I went back to my seat during the accapela of the "Hardest thing" and I started crying and the guards asked what happened and I told him the lady scratched me, they got my # and told me they would talk to her after the show and that i could sue her ass. Then the guard told me I could go up to front row orchestra. Me and heather ran up there, and the guards started yelling at me, during all this i was basically missing "Hardest thing" which now after the concert i am in love with Drew when he sings "baby bye bye, baby bye bye" he sounds so cute and looks cute when he sings it. I stood up to front row until the fat guard made me go back, 98* thanked us and then left. The lights came on and about 4guards were over to the lady who slapped me yelling at her. She looked really nervous and from what I heard they called the police on her. My mom even yelled at her, lol. Me and heather tryed to get backstage but they said that 98* said NO MORE people, we were bummed but headed back to the hotel, totally forgetting that 98* might be there. We pulled up to the hotel and the front door was swarmed with fans. My sister yelled, "there they are!" so my mom pulls up and we all jump out. No fans except us and some other fan were aloud in the hotel, because we were staying there. We followed Jeff all the way to the elivator, in front of the elivator he gave hugs, autographs and pics. I was standing to the left of him and he had a white shirt on, I saw his tatoo and I started rubbing his arm with my hand. I was like playing with his tatoo, and since there was so many girls around him he didn't even notice me. I then noticed his bulging arm muscles! THEY ARE HUGE! I swear he must have pectoral implants, lol. I squeezed his arm to feel his muscle. He turned to me, took my paper and signed it and handed it back. A bunch of girls got in two pictures to get a group pic with him and other fans. I was behind him leaning on him. And, all these girls were all leaning on me so i was leaning on him, with a lot of weight. Before he left my mom tapped him on the shoulder and was all, "this little girl has been waiting for a long time for our autgraph!" and he turned and looked at the little girl and was all, "I already signed it sweety" and she looked at him with tears in her eyes and was all, "NO you haven't". His manager or some old man was yelling, "come one Jeff!" from inside the elivator. Jeff started to walk away to get into the elivator and all the fans started saynig things like "wait jeff",he was all," I am just going to put my stuff up there, i will be right back down I promsie!".Heather ran inside the elivator before Jeff got in there, and then jeff got in, and I was all, "heather what are you doing?" and she just looked at me and shrugged. I was just standing there in front of the elivator as the doors were closing and i was just smiling at Jeff, and he smiled back.(Later Heather told me she was the only fan in there and Jeff turned around saw her backstage pass and he said "did you have fun at the concert?". And Heather said , "yeah!" then the elivator opened for her to get out and since she was in the back of the elivator Jeff like a gentlemen held the door open for her, she said, "Thank you so much"). The doors shut and I went out to the loby to wait for the other guys walking in. Right as I walked out into the loby Nick was walking in with a big smile on his face and holding his head high. He walked right past my mom and my mom turned to him and pated him on the back and was all, "great show!" he turned around smiled and said "thanks!". I was just sitting there smiling at him and he walked right past me, lol. I followed him to the elivator and him and Drew got right in. I dont know where Justin was but I never saw him that night at the hotel. My sister ran into him walking through the hotel and got a hug and pics. Jeff walked out of the elivator and since I wasn't around I have no clue if he signed autographs or took pics, but he did walk out of the hotel. Since we all knew he had to come back in sometime we all waited up for him. Mean while, there was rumers going around that 98* was staying on the tenth floor, because the elivators and stairs were blocked off. So me, heather and Kenna tryed to get up to there but we didnt have any luck. Me and heather and some other friends walked around the hotel going to all sorts of different floors. When we stepped out of the elivator on the 9th floor we heard lots of people talking from one of the rooms, we listened and we found out it was 98*. We knew this because everytime 98* or their guards would get into the elivator they would go up to the 9th floor. So we made every excuse to go up to that floor that night, we would go up there to get ice even though we had our own ice machine on the 4th floor. From atleast 4 doors down you could hear them talking and laughing really loud. There was a bunch of girls in there also. Me and Heather put our ears up to the wall and listened. We heard them talking about Screach in the "I Do" video and they all were laughing. And then i heard one of the guys talking about his belt or something on his clothes and the other guy said, "Dude, that's bad, haha" I was like AH!. When we were in the loby waiting for Jeff at about 1:30am two drunk 20+ year old girls came out from the elivator and were all, "are you guys here for 98*?" and we were all "yeah" and she was all , "do you wanna know what room they are in?, we were just up there!", and the other girl was all, "shhh, no we promised we wouldn't tell anyone. And Heather said realy snobby, "that's okay, we already know anyways!". And the girl said to her friend l, "I know, I wasn't going to tell them anyways". Then they left the hotel. At about 2:00am me and Heather decided to go up to listen to them talk once more. When we got up there we noticed it was quieter. There was no girls talking so those girls were probably telling the truth and they were probably up there with 98*. We put our ear up to the door and we heard them whispering quietely. Right as we were about to leave and get into the elivator those same two girls came back up to the 9th floor escorted by a body guard. They looked at us and kept walking. We went back to the loby and right has the elivator opened Kenna was all, "You guys just missed Jeff!". We were real mad, lol. I guess what happened is like 8 girls including Kenna were all sitting on the couch when one said real calmely "there he is!" as they stayed on the couch. And my sister didn't know who they were talking about so she just sat there too. And Jeff turned the corner saw the girls and was all, "why do you guys look so sad?' and they were all, "because we have been waiting for you!" and he was all, "ohhhh!". My sister was like who are they talking to, so she got up and looked and it was Jeff. My sister was the only one who got up off the couch. He signed autographs took pics and gave hugs. Everyone was saying that jeff was drunk. They said he was really relaxed and his eyes were half closed. Jeff signed this particular girls autograph and looked up at her and said, "boy, your a pretty one!" and all the other girls were all , "OOOO!!!!!!" and he looked up and was all, "all you guys are!". After they told us this story we decided to go to sleep and wake up real early to finally meet them all. After about 4hrs sleep we woke up at 5:45 got dressed and were at the hotel loby by 7:00am. Me, Heather and two other friends went to SafeWay to get a camara and breakfast. We were stressing out because we thought we would miss 98*. We got back to the hotel and waited until about 11:00am when we over heard a guard telling the clerk at the front desk that they would be checking out in an hour. We waited around for a half an hour and I started to get nervous for some reason. Everytime the elivator would open everyone would stare and see who it was. There was only a couple of us in the loby so we knew we would all get to meet them, there was Me, Heather, Kenna, our three friends. While we were waiting one of our friends was telling us how she worked backstage at the Concord Pavilion where 98* performed last night. And she was saying how she had to deliver a 20lb. tub of ice and soda's to their dressing room. She said she turned a corner and she ran into Nick and Drew. And they looked at her and was all, "oh, look at that poor girl she has to carry all that stuff!" and then she said one of their guards walked over to her and grabbed a snapple that was right in between her legs (in a perverting way) and then Nick said something like, "that was rude" while they were laughing. We were waiting there when we heard someone coming down the elivator, for some odd reason me and my friend decided to get up and stand in front of the elivator acting like we were reading the menu for the restaurant right behind us. When the elevator opened me and my friend turned around and Justin walked out of the elevator. He lookd at us and smiled and I waved and said , "hi!". And then he started to turn the corner and I turned around and gave all the girls a look like OH my god it's him!. My friend ran over to him and she was all, "do you think we can get some pictures and autographs?" and he was all "yeah!". Either justin was shy or he was just a snob. I mean he was really nice to us but he was quiet and looked annoyed. I asked him if he would sign the autograph out in my name. And he was all, "yeah, what's your name?". And I was all, "Annalies, A-N-N-A-L-I-E-S". And he was all, "wow, that's a tricky name!" I laughed and was all , "yeah". My friend then got a pic with me and my sister together. One of the girls said, "I like your voice" and he replied in a deep voice, "Thank youuuuuu". He said bye and walked off, not before I got a bunch of pics though. We decided to walk back to the elevator and wait for the other guys. Next out of the elevator came Jeff, he was looking mighty good! He turned and when he saw us he said, "HEy, what's up?" we all just smiled and followed him. He was walking and carrying all his luggage and we asked for pics and autographs, etc. and he said yes, but he had to put his stuff down first and so we followed him out to the loby. He was just standing there in the loby like a normal person. I was like AH! He was standing talking to some guy, I think might have been his guard. When he walked out of the loby we went back to the elevator to wait for Drew and Nick. Next was Nick, we asked him the same thing and he siad yes and to come with him out here, which was outside in front of the tour buses. We walked out there and I was walking purposely really fast just so I could walk directly behind him. We walked outside and just stood there for a minute or two waiting for the guys to come over to us. When we walked outside Nick yelled someting to Justin and Justin said something like "shut up!"haha. We were standing there and nick started to walk over to us. I turned around and took a pic of him walking towards us, he was talking to some man. He walked up to us and he was soo encridiblly hot it was strange. He took pics and gave autographs and I am not sure but I think no one got hugs. When I got into a pic with him I remember that he was real buff. instead of the usual my arm under his we kinda got mixed up and my arm went over his, i love thouching their stomachs. While we were standing there with Nick, Drew walked out of the loby and I snapped a pic of him. We were standing there and Jeff walked outta the loby and I took a pic of him he said he would be right back and he walked to the bus and started to walk over, I turned to him to take a pic and he smiled and looked up at me. He walked over to us, took pics with all the girls and signed autgraphs and since mine was already signed i was all, "can you sign it again, haha?" and he was all, "yeah, ha" I guess he couldn't find anywhere to sign his name or something because he was like moving the pen like WHERE? and then he amaginary signed it and he gave it back to me and said, "here!' looking and smiling directly at me in the face. Everyone got pics, and when it was my turn I was not shy. He is soooo hot I mean you only have this chance once so go for it! We hugged and my sister took a pic. I remember feeling his stomach, oh baby! and his arm was like around my waist. I am sure he probably didn't do this purposely (but I like to think so) when he let go of my waist he just didn't pick up his arm, he DRAGGED it across my butt and it wasn't no slow movement either (unless it went in slow motion for me). I was like OH MY GOD HE TOUCHED MY BUTT! lol. At one point he looked up at all of us and said, "MAN, what is this the pretty girl group?" we all laughed (AHH!). As he was leaving we all started asking for hugs, I managed to squeeze one in there, ohhhh he is such a sweety, he is definatly the nicest of the group! While all of us were standing there, Nick said something to Jaqueline(the girl carrying the waters) he was all, "hey, your that girl with all those waters, that James made you carry!" and she laughed and he was all, "ya, and he was doing something rude" as he was kinda mumbeling. When Drew walked up he walked up RIGHT next to me, he turned to me and I handed him my autograph, he didn't have a pen so he was like, "anyone have a pen?" and Jequeline was all," OH YEAH", i have a pic of him siging my autograph also. He was quiet and didn't say much, we got pics and autographs with him. And the night before Jaqueline gave Drew an early birthday present, a AIDS bracelet she gave it to his gaurd to give to Drew. So that morning she asked Drew, "did you get my present?" and he was all "your the one who gave that to me?...YEAH!" And she was all, "oh , good!" and he said this while patting his pant pocket, "yep, it's right here in my pocket". AHH! How cute! By this time the whole group was standing there with us and they said thanks and bye. And I was all, "Bye, see you at the concert tonight!" and Nick turned around and he was all, "ya going to be there?" and we were all, "YEAH!" and he was all , "great, see ya there!". AHH! we watched them walk into their bus and I told the guards to tell them they were really hot ( I had to unleash one of my teeny bopper ways some how). The guard laughed and said okay. And then slowely they drove off. Me, Heather and kenna had the brilliant idea to rade their hotel room, so we huredly rushed up to the 9th floor. We found the maid who didn't speak good english and we told her we left stuff in our hotel room. She opened the door and lets just say it was a mess. There were tons of empty beer cans, the bed was a mess, and there was whole two whole pizzas on the counter, lol. There was a message on their telephone and so heather accepted it and all it said was that there was a guitar meeting someplace. I even checked to see what time they set their alarm clock, 7am. Since we were afraid someone was going to walk in on us in there we grabbed the box of pizza, a box that had half eaten buffalo wings in it that said "friends 98*, empty beer cans, a paper of all the fake names they go under as desguise, the do not disturb door thing, an empty pack of ciggerretes(even though they dont smoke), and a red felt pen that they signed our autographs with. We left and ran back to the hotel room, and once we got there we immediatly regretted not stealing the whole 12pk of beer they didn't drink. So we ran back to the hotel and we told the lady we left something in there again and she opened it. I grabbed the three beers in the bathroom and noticed the hair that was in the bathroom(HAHA), and i grabbed the 12pk and we ran back to our room. At 5pm we showed up at Shoreline and walked around for a while. Since I had really sucky seats I upgraded mine for 12$ from like row 30 to row12. Me and Heathre knew we had to get backstage since last nights pass was no sucess. We also knew that the passes were changed daily by picking a random number and writing it on the pass. As we walked around we noticed that the passes were the same color except for the number was a 8 tonight and our passes said 2. I went surching for a felt pen so we could change our 2 to an 8, which wasn't hard to do considering they both basically have the same shape, I got a pen and we changed it. I got in line to meet No Authority again but this time to get an autograph for my little sister. This time they had just got done performing so they were hot and sweaty. Danny had a whole fat bunch of black bracelets on his wrist and my sister said to him, "nice bracelets" and he was all, "thanks ya want some?" and she said yeah so now she has two black bracelets from Danny, lol. We met EYC again and while I stood inline for them I watched Tatyana Ali sign autographs, she is sooo pretty. During the concert I walked up to the gaurd by the backstage door and I asked what time 98* was doing the meet and greet and he he looked at me and was all, "well, didn't they tell you when to meet here?" and I was all, "noo" and he hesitated and was all, "well, i dunno". So basically I hung out in front of backstage the whole concert waiting for 98* to show up. I asked a bunch of guards and they told me around 8pm. So I went and watched the shows and at about 7:45pm I went up to the backstage area again. While i was hanging out my sister noticed joe from the Real World, I thought that was pretty funny so I got a pic with him. I kept on badgering that guy who was guarding the backstage door by having all these guards at the concert ask him when 98* was coming and he was getting really annoyed. Finally I talked with this guard and he asked the same man when 98* was coming and they finally let me in to backstage, but I didn't have heather with me. I walked up to the next guard and I showed her my Meet and Greet pass and she started telling me that i couldn't meet 98* because the meet and greet session was already done. I was really mad, but when I turned around I noticed that a group of about 5 girls had the same exact meet and greet pass as me on and they were waiting inline to meet 98*. So I asked the girls who they were with and they showed me and i asked the man if he could escort me back there and he said yes and to just wait in line with his people. I ran out and got Heather and we were waiting inline, when Josh from the Nickelodeon cast was walking around in his milk man uniform. He smiled and waved and then we got a pic with him. Finally we were escorted backstage-backstage to see 98*. We waited in a single aisle line and from where we were standing we could see 98* sitting at a table ready to sign autographs.When I got closer I stepped outta line to take a pic and they saw me and looked up so i could take a pic. When I got up there the first person to sign autographs and shake hands with was Jeff. I walked up to Jeff he signed my autograph and looked up and I said, "smile" and took a pic. I said, "do you remember me from the hotel, haha?" and he said "yeah" and laughed. And we shook hands and he said, "nice to meet you again". The next person was justin. Heather was in front of me and since she was talking to Nick I totally walked right past Jutin, I didn't shake hands , I just walked right past him, but he did sign my ticket. The next person was Drew and I shook hands, smiled and said nice to meet you and he signed my ticket. Heather asked Nick, "were you guys in room......umm....9...uhhh" and i was all "919" and she was all, "yeah, 919?" and he kinda looked around and was all, "uhh, umm...I was in room 917, but I think Justin was" and she was all, Oh, okay. I shook hands with him and smiled and got his autograph. And I got a bunch more pics and they stoped and smiled. They were sooo nice. I love them. After backstage we went to our seats and we watched Monica. Since a bunch of fans rushed the stage me and Heather decided to join them. Since me and heather were probably the oldest of the ten girls we managed to get to the very front in front of all the girls. Monica was right there in front of me like 3ft away. She had a really pretty red pedicure by the way, she had a ton of make-up on also. I was getting totally smushed by all the people behind me pushing to get closer to the stage. I was the only one who had a camara and when Monica was singing she looked down on me and she kinda stoped moving for a second so I could take a pic and when I didn't she was like, "take it". And i said "NO, come closer". And she did, but not just because of me, lol. I took a really close up pic of her. During Angel Of Mine all of us sang along and she would look down on us and smile. During her act she has angel wings. Since she was so close I reached over and touched her wings. The guards made us go back to our seats. We went back and 98* came on stage. They did the same act, and it was awesome all over again. me and Heather tryed and tryed to get closer to the stage and i think we only made it up to like 5th row, so i knew we weren't going to be able to rush the stage with 98* as we did with Monica. At one point we did and there was a huge mosh pit. Girls were falling on top of eachother and of course me and Heather were at the very front of it again. Here the guard was yelling and spitting in my face and all I was trying to do was get closer to 98*, lol. When we were doing this 98* totally avoided us, they probably didn't wanna encourage us in any way. Hm...haha. They did the concert and then they left. It was a totally awesome experience, and I totally recommend going to a 98* concert.
