OK here go nuthin...I know most who went to NY have posted already but here’s my tale of my trip. Well, got there around 2pm on Saturday and met the girls..who are great btw!! I love you guys!! Ok we kinda just fluttered around sightseeing Sat and Sunday. On Monday, we went and seen the Statue of Liberty, Empire State Building and Ground Zero and when we got back to the hostel Cherelle jumped on LD and seen that ppl were already lining up for the signing so we hurried up and got our stuff together and went to get in line. We got there around 2pm and I was 41st in line. I’m tellin ya, what an experience!!! I loved it!! As cold as it got it was soooo much fun. The other two went back to the hostel to shower and change and then I went back at 11. When I got back they were handing out McDonald’s and they said it was from the Boys (I mean how freakin sweet is that!!! One of the main reasons I love them soooo much). Got to know two really nice fans in line beside us. We had two extra tickets to the Regis and Kelly show and we offered them the tickets and the one girl started crying I think (I’m tellin ya, they were sooo sweet). Well I finally got a little bit of sleep between 4:30am-6am and when I woke up I’m tellin ya, it was freaking COLD!!! Well the time finally came and we went in and got our CD (the deluxe version, YEAY) and then we took off out of the store to see if we could catch them at the Today Show. We waited for a bit but we needed to get to the Regis and Kelly show to get in line. Well, we get to the Regis show and there is a line of traffic so we just get out at the end of the block. We are walking down the street and the black SUV’s pass us and guess who showed up right in front of us? Yup, you guessed it!! We much have left like two seconds before they came out of the Today Show. We see Nick get out tinypic.com/player.php?v=6ago7xl&s=1 and we scream for him and he turns around and blows us a kiss on his fingers (totally die right there!!!) The show was out of this world!!! I had so much fun and we were so near the stage. AJ kept us entertained while they got everything set up. Showed us his new tattoo. Nick was called over to our side and some woman pulled his hair up in front and sprayed it (dying yet again). Brian said something about someone’s shirt in the audience and I didn’t realize he was talkin about me!! Lol yup, I’m a dork. I had on the hoodie I made us i7.tinypic.com/4lyl6ci.jpg Then someone looked like they were texting Nick and he looked like he was getting irritated. Then he went back to the band and they yelled his name, he looked up, got a cute look on his face, jumped into place and started singing (the cutest freakin think I think I’ve ever seen!!!). They did Inconsolable and then they messed up and had to do it again. It was cute cuz Nick almost started singing Howie’s part and they all gathered in a group and AJ said “See we are getting old, we can’t remember who sings what part”. Lmao!! They sing it again and it was soooo perfect!! When they were don’t they did the part where Regis and Kelly came out as Posh and Beckham. I barely seen this part cuz I kept watching Nick laugh (man, died right there too!! I died so man times during this trip). OK so we dash outside cuz we they were already in their vehicles. We get a cab on the corner and they pull out RIGHT in front of us. We told the cabbie to follow those cars!! Lol Well we actually pull right up next to Nick’s SUV. I thought Liane was gonna crawl over me and out the window!! We were going nuts. Well we get to TRL and for some reason the girls didn’t get in but we watch from below (you can see us in the crowd if you know where to look). They came to the window about 4-5 times and of course we went nuts. The Nick, the little jerk!! They come to the window and then they left all but Nick who the little turd, proceeds to girate in front of the window!!! (yup, you guessed it, I died again!!).
OK after this we go and get in line for the signing. We got in the middle of the line. We wait and they finally let us in. We stand around for a while and then everyone goes nuts and we look up and they are coming down the escalator. They take their seats after some pics and the line starts. They are playing the CD over the loudspeakers. We get to one part of the line and someone spots Leighanne and she comes over and takes pics with us all (she is sooooooooo sweet!!). OK now its our turn. They cut our wristbands off (I wanted to keep it too!!) And I start with Ajand shook his hand. Told him he was the last one I needed to meet and he said “well, I hope this brings you full circle”. Too cute. Then Howie. I told him I saw him and Nick in Columbus two months ago and shook his hand too and he said “Well we are going back in December” I told him “I know!! I already got my tickets!!” He cuckled at me. Next was Mr. Carter. I reached for his hand and he shook mine and asked what my name was. I told him Jen and he repeated it....I don’t think I said anything else..(can’t remember!! Damnit!!). Then Brian. Shook his hand too and I was gonna say I loved the Glory Revealed Concert I seen but he asked me what my shirt said first ( i15.tinypic.com/6hf1ysy.jpg ). He started cracking up. I told him I didn’t think Nick seen it so he slapped Nick on the shoulder and he pointed at me. He looked at my shirt, got yet again the cutest look on his face and started cracking up. I was so mad later cuz I forgot to take the shirt I wanted to give him. Afer all this (I was kinda ticked off cuz they rushed us thru sooo freakin fast) we got on the escalator to leave and at the top they give you a flip out mirrow that says “Backstreet Boys Unbreakable” and its an unbreakable mirror. Well we know they are gonna be at Planet Hollywood for a listening party and we could NOT get in so we ate there. Well we did see AJ cuz he came to the window upstairs while he was on the phone. We briefly see the other Boys too. We tried to find them afterwards but we found out they had already left. On Wednesday, we finally find out where they were staying but they had already left. We missed Howie by like 2 hours and the rest left earlier that morning. Talk about pissed!!!
So all in all it was a great experience. I loved it and the girls were great!!! I was soooo happy to see the turnout for them, everywhere they went. It would have been better to have had a personally encounter with them but I’m happy with the trip all in all. So glad I went and had this opportunity. Ok think I'm done rattling now....thanks to all that read this..
