Well in case you haven't heard or read on facebook or twitter, last night my friend Jenn and I went to see NKOTBSB at Copps in Hamilton. It was my second concert of the summer (I honestly can't tell you which one was better, Rihanna or NKOTBSB cause they are both AWESOME). The night started off with a sushi dinner out and a chance to catch up with Jenn with no babies around and we could actually sit down and talk about adult things.
So we got to Copps and we were trying to find our seats. I kept getting more and more excited when our section was getting closer and closer to the stage. When we finally got to section 122, we then tried to find row 4. Now i figured row 4 was great, but when we got there row 4 was actually row 2, it went from great to AMAZING! The other two rows were missing because of the Bulldogs players bench (hockey arena, right?) So we were count it, 2 rows away from the floor.
So by this point i am shaking in my seat with excitement. So the first opening act was a band i have never heard of so i wasn't much into it, then Matt Morrison (from GLEE) performed and surprisingly he is really good and i might go out and buy his CD.
Finally once he was done we did not wait long at all for NKOTBSB.
Right from the beginning Jenn and I sang our little hearts out. Danced our sushi dinner off. We were so close to the stage that we did not have to look at the Jumbotron to see them. We were so close that I could see Jonathon's red and black zebra print underwear. During the performance Jenn and I looked at eachother when security came and placed a black box right below us. Eventually we saw why. The New Kid's came out into the audience. DANNY WOOD WAS RIGHT BESIDE US!!!! (now I would have much rather have had Jordan or I'd even settle for Joey or Donny to be in our section ,but beggars can't be choosers, ha ha ha).
So the concert went on and we still sang and danced.
The concert ended around 11:15pm. We left the building. Now picture this, Jenn and I go outside and there are a bunch of girls waiting around and lots of police tape. So we decided to stop and see what the fuss was. Well, let me tell you, Jenn and I squeezed our way to the front of the tape and right at AJ's bus. We waited and eventually Nick came out and then 10 mins later, Howie, then 10 mins after that Brian. There was a rumor floating around that AJ was already on the bus but to me it didn't make sense cause he was the last off the stage so how can he be the first on his bus? Well to my dismay (and pleasant surprise) AJ opened up his blinds on the bus and waved to us. Now i don't know if any of you know this but AJ is my favourite BSB of all time, ha ha ha. He waved to me! However, I was disappointed he did not come out of his bus to say hello to his fellow fans, but rumor was Howie was outside taking pictures and autographing. So Jenn and I of course walked down there to see what would happen. I weaseled my way up once again and only waited 3 mins to get my picture taken with HOWIE!!! All i did was say, "can i get a pictu
re?" and he was "sure" So he put his arm around me, we took a pic, then he rubbed my back, gave it a pat and we said our goodbyes. I have waited 18 years to meet a Backstreet Boy. It didn't matter which one, I just wanted to meet someone from one of the boybands I grew up listening to (and still to this day listen to on my ipod).Needless to say I had an amazing time at the concert and let me tell you, it won't be a night I will soon forget! I can't wait to tell Noah when he is old enough how his mother met a Backstreet Boy!!
