Team Jonas posted a contest for a special Jonas Brothers concert. The links in the email didn't work properly at first, but they eventually fixed the problem. I entered and was eager to go.
They said they'd announce the winners on Monday. I was on the TJ forum ALL DAY waiting. They didn't post the winners until Tuesday. Guess awhat! My name was on the winners list! My first win on Team Jonas!
We found out it was the taping for their Walmart Soundcheck. Grace and I got to the El Rey around 11. We read the Seventeen magazine (JB cover), while we waited in line. We got wristbands and were let in around 2:30.
It was a relatively small venue. The parents got to stay and hang out in the back and on the side with the smaller children. Grace and I were by the center camera man.
A fan introduced them. They opened with "SOS." Next, they sang a new song called "Poison Ivy." When it was the chorus, everyone was singing along. I felt like such a failure as a Jonas Brothers fan. I had no idea how they all knew this song, but by the end, we were able sing along, too. "Lovebug" was next.
The crew needed a little time to make technical adjustments. Nick started playing "Year 3000" while we waited. They resumed with "Paranoid," a new song I did know. Then, they sang a song called "Turn Right." Kevin was on the keyboard. I was really trying to listen, and it was such a beautiful song.I felt like crying. We used our ticket info print out and sharpies to create a sign that said "KEVIN!" He saw it and waved at us! Score!
Finally, they closed with "Burning Up."After, people were ripping the posters off the wall. This was unnecessary because they were giving away the posters outside. We also got stickers. This justified my Team Jonas membership for the year!
