Vegas

By some strange twist of fate, I got to see the JoBros in Las Vegas for FREE.

My aunt got tickets compliments of Monte Carlo, and I went with my cousin, Julia.

I slept most of the ride to Vegas. We got to the city, which i haven't visited in about 2 years. IT'S STILL UNDER CONSTRUCTION. Geez louise. Not glamorous at all. Plus,the economy's still bad, and therefore it isn't as packed.

The MGM grand had cute fruit slushies named after JB and their songs.

The concert was great. I just love those boys. The seats weren't my closest ever, but they were free. Julia was all excited. I felt bad for standing up because little girls were behind me lol. But “Y3k” was a partyyyyyyyyyy! Wearing ear plugs is totally the way to go!

The concert was shorter =/ but Nick J did change it up a bit during “A Little Bit Longer”... a year later.
Why don't people realize that there's always an encore? Oh well, when they leave, we get to move closer to the stage =]

When ”SOS” came on, I felt that familiar smile I always get. I remember why I love them as much as I do.

We went back home right after the concert. In and out!

Hot Topic Twilight Tour

So it's ironic again: November 18 was the date of the American Music Awards, and now it's the date of the Twilight Hot Topic Meet and Greet.

I went with Mere, Christina, and their friend, Waldo. Meredith and I both love Jackson Rathbone. Last Thursday, I drove like a maniac after class Hollywood and Highland just to buy the tour tee for my M&G wristband.

Tuesday, we got to Hollywood & Highland just as Paramore was to perform. There was a lot of screaming. E! News was interview Taylor Lautner on Level 3. And then, to my surprise, Kristen Stewart and Nikki Reed introduced Paramore. They performed 4 songs. I knew 75% of them. Because we weren't early, we were in the back of the crowd for their performance.

When their set ended, we decided to go find the M&G line. Luckily a Hot Topic staff member informed us the cast would be doing a Q&A on stage. Those with Paramore M&Gs were told to line up. Soon, everyone else was moving out of the area. So, we cruised our way toward the front of the crowd. We were almost there when another staff member announced the Q&A on the microphone. Suddenly, everyone stopped moving.

As we waited for the Q&A, Meredith pretended to be Alice as she did my makeup. Finally, it was time for the cast to come out. I was really excited that Ashley Greene was there too! I got to see all of the Cullens and Jacob.

They started moving us out for our meet and greet. We weren't in a hurry. Wristbands were guaranteed in, so we waited for the line to calm down. We figured it was better to be among the last.

The line was moving pretty damn fast. The concert area had cleared out quickly. Finally, it was our turn. I then saw why the line moved so fast. They were only relocating us, and the line wrapped around the block.

Meredith made a "free hugs" sign.

We finally made it upstairs. The staff started hounding the rules on us. NO personalized posters. NO personal items. NO gifts. NO touching the actors. Basically, get in and out as QUICKLY as possible.

As we entered the store, I saw how a staff member shoved the posters in front of the actors so quickly. The actors were just signing them, not even looking up. I didn't wait this long for nothing! What do I do? Talk to them! I commented on the rapidness of the Hot Topic staff. Kellan looked up. "Me?" he asked. I said, "No, the Hot Topic Guy. Kellan, you're slow." I think Ashley smiled, but I don't quite remember looking at her because Jackson was next!

I was so excited to see him! I told him I was at Spoilers. "Cool!" he said. The rest of the cast looked up too. Jackson already signed my poster, but I asked him to sign my Spoilers lanyard too. He did, and I was so giddy. I screamed, "I HEART YOU!" He smiled.

Nikki was smiling at me too. I felt I had to address her insecurity about being Rosalie. I told her that she was great and shouldn't ever think otherwise. She smiled, said thank you, and kind of held out her hand. I touched it. Taylor looked at me, wanting to shake my hand? I don't remember if I did, lol. Team Edward. Cough.

I think all of that happened in 15 seconds. Once I finished, the staff was like "All right! Thank you! Goodnight!" They said it in a tone that made me realize I broke half of the rules.
We waited with a small crowd for the event to end. All of a sudden, a camera crew came out to film the crowd. Everyone cheered. The crowd and camera were to my left. Out of the corner of my RIGHT eye, I saw the cast leaving through the other door. Haha, those stealthy vampires.

In my head, I was screaming "OMG THERE THEY ARE!" Luckily, my mouth remained silent. We ran down stairs to follow them. They came out of the elevator. We called Jackson, he smiled, and security sent us away. They left through a door.

We RAN to any and everywhere the door might have led, but we were not successful. As crazy and stupid chasing after them was, it was a lot of fun.

We all went to the Rock Band store after and played for a while.

San Diego

I needed a redo of the Burning Up concert. When they announced their November shows, I was very excited. Grace had an event in San Diego that night, which gave us more reason to drive down there. We would also get to see Josie and Elly.

Boy Toy Jesse was there. I guess he works for that radio station too?

I wore suspenders, inspired by the "Love Bug" music video.

I love floor seats! We were in the second row.. of the second floor section. Before the show, I saw Papa Jonas heading to the sound board. We went over, but we weren't sure on how to approach him. Grace just said, "Mr. Jonas?" and he we got his attention. We asked for a picture. He was busy and politely asked us to go back later. We didn't. Oh well, at least we got to talk to him.

When JB played "Still in Love With You," I knew what was about to happen. I knew what I wanted. Yet, I didn't act fast enough. A bunch of other girls ran before us to the front section in hope to get FOAMED.

We got close enough to feel the mist, but it didn't show on our hair or anything. After than, security certainly tightened up.

After the concert, I swiped a radio poster off the wall. They were glad we did it, it left them with less to clean.

Josie and Elly surprised us with birthday balloons. I got a stuffed hippo and Grace got Hannah Montana crayons.

After, we went to the ball. It was held on a boat that sailed around the harbor for 3 hours.

MTV Spoilers

So it's ironic: November 7 last year is when I attended my first JB concert. Now, it's when I attended my first Twilight event.

VFC took over my August. September has not totally been TWILIGHT.
Today, I got to go to the MTV taping of Spoilers-- apparently a new show. How did this happen? It started with a contest on Twilight Tuesday. I remember almost getting into a car accident when I got the phone call from MTV.
Anyway, the show featured Twilight, and the WHOLE cast was there! It was super duper. I don't know how it happened, but Liz and I were in the third row, next to the aisle.

Forget Robert Pattinson. Lol, okay, don't forget him. He's cuter as Edward and Cedric. But omg, JACKSON RATHBONE aka Jasper Cullen/Hale/Whitlock. He is sooooo hot in person! When he left the first time, I got up and asked for a hug, and I got one =D

When he came out for the Q&A, he answered that music was what kept his spirit up on set. From my seat, I yelled, "What music?" He then looks at ME and answers the question. I was so overwhelmed. I didn't expect him to hear me or actually answer. To top it off, all of this was captured on video.

Kellan Lutz is cool too.

Larry Carroll introduced the cast + Catherine, the director. They showed about 20 minutes of clips from the movie. I had already seen most of them.

After, we went to the back of the building in hopes of meeting the cast. Jackson, Taylor, and Ashley were there. Jackson had the biggest crowd, but I got to meet Ashley and Taylor. Taylor's cologne smelled really good.

It was such a great night, and an especially AMAZING first event.

TWILIGHT!!! <333>
