so we (me, Carisa, my mom, Jacob, Randy, Jeremy) ride up to dallas and check into the hotel. we go to find the venue because we had heard the line was already forming at like 2pm... when the doors weren't until 7. we check out the damage... which wasn't that much. so us girls decide go back and get all dolled up. =)
yadda yadda. it's time to go to the show. we get to the venue and go next door to get some food. carisa, jeremy and i sit at a table with lauren, courtney (was chad's g/f), andyrea (greg's g/f) and kim (ryan's now wife). i have a few coronas and a cape cod while Carisa has her cape cods. we eat and all. gene walks by and i say hello and give him a hug. i love that guy. he introduces me to Steve and Chris/Colby/Turst (
colbymulkey). awwww.. FINALLY i meet chris =D. he is such a doll. yes, i know you are reading this. =P chris hung out with us for a while and his roomie mike joined. it was getting closer to showtime so we paid our bills and left.
talked to gina (ryan's mom) for a bit and took some pictures with her. the line was getting waaay long (refer to pics). i made my way down saying hello and giving hugs to everyone i hadn't seen in a while.
right before the doors opened my group was let in the back door so we got our spot right up front directly in front of the stage. rock!
the show was completely amazing to say the least. i was super hot and sweaty and had a camera in my face the entire time but it was so so great. such an experience. i loved every minute of it.
good gracious i love that band.
after the show we all hung out. i didnt end up doing a confessional, but i kick myself in the ass about it now. it was stupid of me not to. chris/colby/turst came over and talked to us for a while. =) i had a girl get super pissed and start talking shit about me because scott was paying more attention to me. haha whatever, biotch. we ended up waiting for the SUPER long ass merch booth/autograph line to go down and made our way there. said hello to the guys and girl and got our hugs and DVD tickets signed. met lisa (justin's g/f)... she's a doll.
we finally head back to the radisson where 100 rooms were rented out to Blue fans... lauren,chris and steve came to our room and we were all just hanging out when all of the sudden like 12 more people show up in our room! not even 5 min later, if that, a manager walks in and tells everyone to get out! wtf? even if they were paying customers they had to be in "their own rooms!" are you kidding me?!? it was ridiculous. they called the cops and everything. needless to say, everyone at the hotel was pretty pissed at what was happening. we werent even doing anything! bah! stupid hotel nazis.
pics!
