March 8 (Civic Arena- Pittsburgh, PA)
My best friend (Erin) and I skipped school that day, hoping like idiots to spot NSYNC somewhere in Pittsburgh. (LOL) Obviously that never happened, and we drove to the Civic Arena at about 4:30 p.m.
We were waiting in line when we saw someone, who looked like Joey, selling stuff. We walked over and he told us that he was Joey's cousin. We promised not to tell anyone, and I got a picture with him. (Unfortunately I lost that roll of film.)
At 6:30 p.m. we were let into the arena. My friends and I had E section (well, actually I had F but I went down to theirs before NSync came on) so we sat and enjoyed Tatyana Ali and B*Witched. Then intermission came on and I joined my friends in E section.
When NSYNC came on, we were in hysterics and I was taking pictures like crazy, even though I could hardly even see them. The show was wonderful, they came out wearing glow-in-the-dark tribal outfits, and the songs, of course, were beautiful!
The best part came when they were flying in "Sailing." First of all, I wasn't expecting them to fly! (That was the first time they ever did it- in Pittsburgh- I believe. I'm not sure.) So I was freaking out. Then JC actually got up to my section and he was looking right at where I was. I blew him a huge kiss, and he blew me a kiss right back! (Sigh...) Nothing beat that. At least not until July 11...
July 10 (Coca Cola Starlake Amphitheatre- Burgettstown, PA)
I had lawn seats for this occasion and I didn't care, because I had seen what the place looked like, and it looked very close no matter where you were sitting. 'Course the chart looks different, but go by me. It's more accurate. :)
Anyway, I was with Erin again, and we had to look for our friend Melissa, whom we couldn't find... So we found a seat near the front of the lawn, and waited for the first act to come on. I was expecting 5ive, so I was VERY angry when they didn't show up. (WAAAAHHHH!!!!) But Sugar Hill was pretty kewl.
When Jordan Knight came on, I was ecstatic. I love this guy! So I stared at him until his act was over. Then came a LOOOOOONG intermission.
I was really bored until I saw the screens on the stage came on. The intro was so kewl- a guy was taking over Starlake, and we were his hostages. Then Jonny tried to tell NSYNC that they couldn't come on and Chris is like "Man you're crazy!" (on the screen) And then they did this Mission Impossible music and face scans and stuff like that... And they came down on WIRES! It was awesome!!!
The songs were great, but when God Must Have Spent (A Little More Time on You) came on, it was hilarious because Justin would stop at the end and keep singing "A little more time..." and then he'd pause for like forever doing silly face expressions and stuff. Then Chris goes, "I'm sure their tired and they want to go home. Why don't you speed it up a little?" And Justin's all, "You guys want to go HOME???" And the audience screams "NO!!" Then he sang the last part "on you..." to a little girl up front.
BTW, before the show started, we saw Joey's cuz again and he remembered me! Ugh, he's so hott!
That was a great concert...
July 11 (Coca Cola Starlake Amphitheatre- Burgettstown, PA)
There's nothing like a double play!! Two concerts in a row. I bet Chris was having a ball! (since it was his home, after all) Hey, that rhymes! :)
Anyway, Erin and I had EIGHTH ROW SEATS for this concert. So when we got down to our seats we were like WOW! It was close. VERY close...
We left our seats to walk around, and when we came back, we made friends with the girls sitting beside us. Lace and Molly. They were kewl. And we found Joey's brother! Steven. You know... So me and Lace went up to him and I asked, "Can I get a picture with you?" And he smiled and said sure. He put his arm around Lace and I put my arm around him. He leaned really close to me and had his cheek on mine! Oh, it was scratchy and warm... He's just as hot as his brother! Haha. So then the camara clicked and he asked if Molly got it. And I said yeah, cuz I knew (it was my camara after all) and he said, "Sweet." And I said thanks and he said no problem. I hope I got on his video!! :)
Anyway, Sugar Hill was the first act, again. Since it was pretty much the same show as before, I'm only telling you the interesting things that happened to me. Like, one of the people from Sugar Hill (don't know their names) winked at me. It was pretty kewl.
Jordan Knight. Oh, Jordan... Nice... Very nice. He is sooooo cute. No, hot. No, sexy! Yeah. And he did this little eyebrow raise at me and smiled and nodded. Oooooohhhhhh..... His dance moves at eighth row are killer. I mean, you can see them like... Wow.
Guess who's next?? I bet you don't know. Nah, you couldn't... NSYNC? How'd you get that?! Nevermind. I don't want to know. Well, anyway, When they came on I practically fainted because they were so close!! And I freaked and freaked and freaked! Chris came over to my side of the stage and I ran up to him, practically climbed over these other girls and my hand was two, count 'em, TWO inches from his chest! He looked down a little but didn't touch any of our hands (Boo Hoo!) because I guess since he was singing AND dancing it was a little hard. But oh, I was so close...
As for Joey? He blew me a kiss! (Which didn't measure up to the fact that he scooped down and kissed some girl on the LIPS for giving him something! OOH. I seethe...) But hey, a kiss is great, even if it is in the air. :)
The best part for me? Well, see, I got up to the front like six times, and the staff people kept moving me back, telling me to go to my seat. Ooh, the anger, the ANGER! I did go back to my seat after a while, and I just started bawling. I was standing up, staring at the stage and bawling my eyes out because I was angry, excited, angry, overwhelmed, angry... Did I mention that I was ANGRY? That was most of it. Anger. Well, I was standing there, tears streaming down my face, my face muscles so tight I could barely open my eyes or mouth, and Justin sees me. Yep. Worst time to, and he sees me. And he stares at me. STARES and STARES and STARES. For like twenty seconds! At first it was an acknowledment. Then his eyes when wide like he was asking me if everything was alright. Then he had the expression that he was saying, "It's okay, It's okay, please don't cry!" All while he was singing. He even did the little hand thing. Like you know, he kinda held them out. Oh, it was magic... But I still didn't want him to see me then! It was embarrassing... But I really don't care now. :)
JC, I don't think, ever saw me. That's okay, though. (See March 8.) Lance, when he was above me and in the air, I think he smiled at me. But all in all it was the best night of my life!!
