BEFORE THE SHOW:

Okay so my morning started out at me waking up around 8:30ish am because I was so excited and pumped for the show. So I got on the computer for a while till we left for downtown at around 3. So me and my dad stop to get change so we can park on the street. Me and my dad got to the venue around 3:30ish a little after to pick up my tickets I won and I had AWESOME SEATS. So after that me and my dad drove around to the back of the arena and saw people waiting I told my dad to drop me off so he did. There wasn’t much people waiting to meet the idols before the show- maybe 15.

Around I say 4:15 Crystal comes out; she was the 1st to come out- she stopped and chatted with us all for a total of about 15 minutes. This guy who was a huge crystal fan was talking to her forever when I was waiting for my turn to get a picture but I guess the guy had a shirt with a license plate that said mamasox and crystal laughed… Her laugh is so cute ahahaha… Let me tell you the heat got to crystal haha poor thing her face was pure red. Anyways back of subject I was kinda freaking because the security told crystal your time is limited but she still got to everyone. So when it was my turn I went up I said heyy and I don’t know what else then we took our pic man I am shorter than crystal ahahah she wasn’t even tall…Crystal went inside at around 4:30 for soundcheck.

The next to come out a bit after were Casey James, Andrew Garcia man let me say Casey is gorgeous ahaha I love his eyes. But he wasn’t even out that long like 5ish minutes then he went inside I didn’t get my pic with him. All of a sudden I see Andrew run the other direction I was wondering why till I looked around the corner and Big Mike and Tim Urban came out ahahaha him and big mike were messing around. All of a sudden I see a sea of people start rushing over to Andrew, Big mike, Tim cause they were outside together and like I said there was like 15 of us and I was like dang where did all these people come from.

I then somehow made my way through people and was waiting for Andrew he is such a sweetheart we took out pic.. I’m so short standing next to the idols…. Then I went over to big mike we got our pic he is such a big teddy bear aww wanted to squeeze him. He was sweaty ew hahaha. Then I went over to Tim Urban hes cute ahhaa I was like who will take our picture then he was like Let’s see I got this I’ m a pro. Ahahah then I laughed. Let me say he pretty is our picture came out good then this guy was like you want me to take y’alls picture so we got another one. So we got 2 pix together.!

Then a few minutes later Andrew Tim Big Mike went in for the meet and greet around 5 but big mike was still staying pictures. Such a sweet guy…

THE SHOW:

Okay so me and everyone that was waiting outside we waited till like alittle after 6 to see if anyone else was coming out but no one wasn’t so we headed inside. We got inside I went and bought some merch I bought the tour book for 20, 2 headshots and a glowstick. After that me my 2 new friends I made went and found our seats…

Oh so I have something to say okay so I won 2 tickets I had an extra one so i gave it to my new friend i made and she gave her ticket to her brother in law so he got to see the show i did something good. She thanked me though cause i had front row seats on the side so she was happy she got the extra ticket to sit next to me.

When we got to our seats we sat for a while and we got up and saw lee peaking through at everyone ahha so cute and crystal was sitting by the stairs so my friend went and talked to her for about 5 mins then we come back to out seats and see Ryan Stevens (Katie’s brother) and we also see her mom they both were talking and my friend goes go show her mom the poster you made of Katie I was to nervous to so she did it for me….

READ THIS: So Katie’s mom saw the poster and she LOVED it and she was like would you like me to take it backstage for katie to sign it and i freaked out and so she did that for me a bit after she brought it out for me and told me Katie would be looking for me…Her mom did so much for me that night I was thankful!

So the show starts and Didi Benami comes out she did really good she came out and was on my side she smiled at me that made me happy. I enjoyed her set. Her set flew by cause it was just 2 songs boo. Thennn the amazing Andrew Garcia comes out i loved his set…. My friend was freaking out cause she loves him. His set flew by tooo sheesh…

During Intermission me and my friend were talking to the group behind us they were sweet then Katie Stevens mama walks by and sees me she comes to me and i thank her so much for taking my poster backstage for Katie to sign it… Then we were talking about Katie to her and about the headshot pic… Right before the show came back on she was telling me again would you like me to take that backstage for Katie to sign and your Aaron picture tooo she asked the people I was with tooo.. She was so sweet i cant believe she did that for us omgsh….

AARON KELLY- Omgsh he was fantastic oh and his mama was out for his set the whole time she was behind me during his set. I recorded his opening song I’ll post it soon. During one of his songs he came to my side I reached my hand out he grabbed it and smiled at me. I was totally fan girling over him…. But it was cute to see when he went over to the side where his mom was, he was singing to her it was such the sweetest thing ever he smiled. Aaron made my night…

AFTER THE SHOW:

So after the show me and my friend I was with we went to friend her brother in law and went to her car to charge her phone… We went back outside to wait for the idols around 11…Okay this I did not know okay so we waiting for a long time at the back of the arena outside where they came out that same spot earlier and time passed a guy walks by and told us the Idols were in the front like inside where we went in for the show. I never that they would be in there. So we run and we missed everyone but Tim I saw him earlier though! I don’t think everyone came out though. I’m sure Katie was looking forward to seeing me because her mom told her about me! I’m sad I missed Katie.
