I hadn't seen bsb in concert since the last time they went to charlotte and when I herd that they were coming to my home town, greenville, sc, I flipped out! I begged my mom to take me and she finally gave in. And I am sooo gald she did! The concert was the best night in my life. You see,i orginially had section 221, the upper bowl seats. And I was planning on trying to get on the floor to get better pictures. Before the concert, I met up with one of my friends and her mom and I asked them where they were sitting and they said 38th row! I asked them if I could go down there with them and try to get better pictures, and they said yes since it was a b-day present to me and to meet them somewhere after krystal performed. So krystal performed and I went and met my friend. When I got down to the floor, I was in heaven. It was a lot closer than I expected. When the lights went out everyone started screaming , and of course, I did too! Aj is my personal fave and I had a fit when he appeared on stage! I got some really good pictures too! But when they did they skits and then popped up behind everyone, I almost died! I was only 1 row away from the!! I got the best pictures there and one where they are all looking in my camera. Aj even pointed and waved right at me! I was so heppy that I started crying! I had on a really sparkley shirt so I think that helped get their attention! At the end of the concert, I realized how much I truly loved bsb!! It was the best night of my life ad the best birthday present I could ever recieve! Ktbspa!!!

We literally took a chance on Tues. and headed to Greenville with no tix. It was a 3 hr. trip but,uppon arrival we realized there were still great tickets to be had. After purchasing fan club tix on the street we kept going back to the Box office. We had 12th row on the floor in our hands and scored front row at 5:30. My daughter was so excited. She had a black and blue cowboy hat that AJ had wanted since he had seen her in Charlotte in Jan. She said, "Mom, now is my hat chance when they drop the catwalk." Within 90 seconds of their arrival on stage AJ acknowledged her with a personal grin and wave. As predicted, he was eyeing the hat and when the catwalk was dropped, he made a beeline for her to retrieve it. She had a note attached inside. He wore it on the catwalk and on stage for 2 songs then placed it strategically on one of the guitarists heads with the note showing. Hopefully we will have a communication from him before we attend the rest of the concerts we have tickets to. We will keep you posted. P.S. Went to the Raleigh concert the next day and AJ seemed to be looking for my daughter. However, he was busy entertaining his Mom since we noticed her arrival. She seemed really happy with his performance and we now know where he gets his rhythm from. Nick did look right into my camera on the catwalk(we were only 4th row) so I know they know we were there. We'll see them Sunday in Greensboro.

My dad surprised me with 10th row tickets
to see BSB Monday night. Now, my ultimate dream came
true last night. All of my dreams just started
happening since Monday night. It's absolutely CRAZY! I
know most of you are gonna think I'm weird at how I'm
reacting to all of this, but you've got to understand
that the Backstreet Boys have *really* affected my
life in SO many ways. Last night was the fourth BSB
concert that I've ever been to. I've tried to enter
every possible contest I could to meet BSB or to get
their autographs. Basically, I could die happy if I
knew that BSB knew that I existed. LOL! I know, stupid
stupid. But like my dad said...ANYBODY can die happy
if you have Jesus in your heart. Thats so true! hehe!
:o)
Okay, so my dad and I left at around 3:10 in the
afternoon. The concert was in Greenville, SC. Normally
we go to Charlotte, NC for all our concerts because
its much closer, but they didn't go there on the tour
this time. Well, it takes about 2 hours to drive
there. My dad and I talked the whole time. It was so
much fun. We were taking self portraits of ourselves
with the cameras! Haha! We listened to the whole Black
and Blue CD and then we decided to turn it on to B
93.7 because its the local radio station in Greenville
and I knew one of the radio personalities would be on
location at the concert. So we heard Some Guy Named
Tias (sp?)talking about how he had 2 autographed (by
all members of BSB!) director chairs and the best
seats in the house to give away. He said that everyone
had to register before 6:30 and then they would do a
drawing. I was like dad we have to do that. And we got
there around 5:30 so we had a lot of time.
We registered for the chairs and took pictures with
them. I figured that I better touch where they touched
because it would be the last time I would see the
chairs. After we took the pictures we went down the
road and around the arena where BSB's tour buses were.
A bunch of fans were standing around shouting
"Backstreet Boys!" in a lil chant type thing! It was
cute. I, of course, joined in.
Finally, Howie came out
of his bus and we all took quick lil pictures. He
waved at us and went inside. Boy, lemme tell you he
looks HOTTER in person! I'm NOT kidding. He is FINE!
And very short too. Haha. And then after we waited
awhile, Nick came out. Everyone went crazy. Now,
ladies, he is SO frikkin lickable in person. Find his
best picture ever and times that by ten and thats how
he looks in real life. Very hott! Almost melted the
paint off my poster. LOL! He waved at us all and did
this cute lil smile and walked in. I wanted to see
Brian, but I didn't. Anyways, AJ's bus was the last to
come in and he went RIGHT beside us. I ran to one side
of the road where the door was located thinking he was
gonna be on that side, but nope. He was on the other
side. And SMOKING too! LOL! Everyone was like laughing
and screaming. And I was trying to run to the other
side of the road to see him, but no luck. LoL. We
waited awhile for A.J. to come out of his bus, but he
never did so my dad and I headed back up to where they
were giving away the chairs because it was almost
6:30.
More Than That started playing thru the speakers that
the radio station had hooked up and it was so cool to
see the crowd of more than 300 people swaying and
singing. Then the guy got everyone to quiet down and
he picked a girl to pick a name out of the box. I
prayed a lil silent prayer and then crossed my
fingers. The name he called out was: Danielle Horton.
I was like great I knew it wasn't gonna be me.
Besides, why would my name get picked out of a box
filled to the brim with names. Well, guess what? The
girl didn't claim her prize so I guess she wasn't
there. The guy goes okay I'm waiting five seconds and
if she doesnt claim it then we're drawing again. So I
count to 5 seconds and I shout something like okay
times up get on with it. LoL. And he got the girl to
draw another name. He opens the note up and
says...Chrystal H....(I'm not putting my last name up
here.). I screamed the loudest scream that you could
EVER imagine. Everyone was cheering for me and they
were laughing at me because I was so ecstatic. The guy
is like not that I don't trust you but tell me your
phone number so I know your not lying. I said my phone
number and hes like alright the best seats in the
house and these autographed chairs are yours. I
screamed, jumped up and down, and I almost started
crying. LOL! Everybody kept coming up to me to
congratulate me and some even asked for the other
chair since there was two. And I was like no way.
Hehe, I'm sitting here right now lookin at my chairs
sittin on the other side of the room. Boy, when I sit
in em its just an awesome feeling that well you know
they sat there too! haha.
We had to wait there for awhile till the program
director, Nicky, came up to us and helped us take the
chairs to where we would be sitting. Well, get this...
We got to sit right in front of their circular (small)
second stage. See, it goes like this...the stage, our
chairs where we sat, a fence (baracades) that went
around the whole stage and us, then security guards
all around the fence to keep the fans from getting
inside the fence (where we were), and then the fans
were a good 5 feet away from the security guards. It
was AWESOME because I was 2 feet away from the stage
and all the other fans were atleast 10 feet away.
Whoah, I'm gettin ahead of myself lol.
Okay, we had to stand beside Nicky for awhile while
she talked to some of the other radio personalities.
It was fun tho because I could hear one of the guys
talking about how he met BSB and they were really cool
in person and stuff like that. And then she asked if I
was supposed to go backstage and my heart totally
skipped a beat. Then some dude came up and started to
show us where we would be sitting and all the rules
etc. So basically I missed my chance to go backstage.
If I would have stayed there and asked or something
they most likely would have let me. Bum Bum Bum. But
hey I'm not complaining because how many people can
say they have 2 autographed chairs by ALL the BSB
members?! LOL!
So we made friends with all the
security guards and talked to them and fun stuff like
that. Then we told them that we would be going back
and forth between our real seats and those seats.
Because technically our 10th row seats are better than
those. We watched Krystal (the opening act) perform.
And she said she would be signing autographs for
everyone after her performance. So I went up the
stairs and waited in line to meet her. We got some
pictures with her and I talked to her for a few
minutes. This is how our convo went...
Chrystal: Hi my name is Chrystal too!
Krystal: Oh really?! Thats awesome!
Chrystal: Yeah, um my (online) friend named Elizabeth
really loves you and she has a site for you and
everything so I just kind of wanted to throw in a few
words for her.
Krystal: Well, tell her that means a lot to me and
thank her very much.
Chrystal: I will. Can I um have a picture with ya?
Krystal: Sure.
And then we took the picture and we went back to our
seats and waited for the show to start. The entrance
was SPECTACULAR! It was to the song "Everyone" and
they do this lil army entrance. It was cool. I got
loads and buttloads of GREAT pictures. We stayed there
for the first half of the show and then left to go
back to the seats where they would be performing next.
They had a few things on the video screen. One of them
was in 2050 when they were old farts and they were
talking about replacing Howie for Joey Fatone. And OMG
it was funny! Then they performed Don't Want You Back
which was awesome. Oh, and I forgot to mention. During
the first song they do this thing where they all grab
their crotch. Very very very nice. I was about to go
take a cold shower, but couldn't find one. And then
they did their whole dressing room sequence in which
they are really distracting the audience as they go to
the second stage. So here I am standing there and they
walk into the fence where my dad and I were and they
walked RIGHT beside me. I was SO tempted to touch
them, but I didn't want to make them mad or anything.
I mean, guys, I was so close I could see the pimples
and dimples on their faces. LoL. And so they got on
the stage and everyone realizes its them and I bet
they were JEALOUS of me. Yay!
I held up my "I Support the JWR Foundation" sign for
Kevin to see. They were singing Show Me The Meaning of
Being Lonely. Thats a sad song by the way. So Howie
looks right at me, smiles, winks, and waves. Then he
taps Kevin on the shoulder and points at me. Kevin
looks at the poster and smiles one of the most
sincerest smiles I've ever seen. It was sweet. Then
later on I yelled Howie Howie! And he looked down at
me and I go...Can you catch this?! He says sure. So I
tossed my bear up to him (because you've got to
remember I wasnt that far from the stage at ALL...geez
I'm gettin goose pimples just recollecting all
this..haha)and he hands it to Kevin and points to me.
Kevin sits down and reads the note I wrote on the
back. It said something like I was thanking them for
all the music they produce and how their music has
inspired me and given me so much self-confidence. And
just stuff like that. And he read it. And he turned to
me, looked me STRAIGHT in the eyes, blew me a kiss,
winked, did the peace sign, and smiled. hehe! I about
died. And then he waved to my daddy and smiled. But
thats not all. Brian and AJ both smiled and waved at
me during their perfomance of How Did I Fall In Love
With You? (My fave song!) And since Brian is my fave I
went hysterical. I've had that moment placed in ALL my
birthday wishes, dreams, throwing the penny in the
fountain wishes and everything. Oh, and during that
song Howie did the lil Catholic sign (Father, Son,
Holy Ghost) and looked up at the sky. I guess because
his sister died.
And my dad looked at him and gave him
the thumbs up sign because my dad thought it was real
cool that he was a Christian. BTW, my family and I are
strong Christians. So Howie waved to my dad and did
his cute lil wink and smiled. And then Kevin gave my
bear to the security guard to give back to me, but he
did it because he touched it and now I would have it
forever knowing that he was holding it. It wasn't like
he was saying he didn't like it. It was like him
saying thank you to me. Thats an ultimate fan gift, or
atleast to me. Then they performed the rest of their
songs and I ran up to the second row and got some
AWESOME pictures.
Then as we were exiting the coliseum you could hear
ALL these people whispering "Oh thats the girl with
the chairs.", "Mom, she won the chairs.", "Oh my gosh,
is that autographs?" LoL So for a moment there I felt
special. People kept stopping us so they could get
their pictures made with the chairs. LOL! And I met
this one really SWEET BSB fan. I gave her my email
address and we're gonna keep in touch. It turns out
that she's been to the exact same concerts I've been
too. So we have a lot in common. And on the way home
we passed one of the tour buses and my dad got in
front of it and I turned around and I could have sworn
Nick was sitting at his laptop. I know it was one of
their buses, but I'm just not sure if it was a friend
or what. But I'm hopin it was Nick. It looked like him
tho.
And this, my friends, was the absolute best day of my
LIFE! This is ALL I have hoped for, for the past 2
years. I mean it would be awesome to meet them and get
a hug, but this was just GREAT! You guys have no idea.
My New Year's Resolution was to meet the guys or get
their autographs. And like all my dreams that I have
ever wanted to come true have. I will thank God
everyday for the rest of my life for this. I'm still
in shock. The day that this hits me I'm gonna have a
complete melt down. LOL
Oh, and the concert was the best concert that I've
been to in my whole life. The pryo, voices,
choreography, stage show, etc. was beautifully done.
Everything was just at its 100 percent best! Their
voices were blended SO well! And I LOVED it when they
sang acapella! Wow! It was GREAT!
