Jessica's concert in AC
OK, I'm at school right now so I won't be able to type too long. Plus, as all
of the fans who came to the concert that night know, i know the least of what
they were saying =) So i can only give a general summary of the trip, the rest
we'll depend on our dearest crew ok? Also, the summary of the airport trip is
directly based on what others have told me b/c i wasn't there early enough to
"catch" L and J.
On Thursday night about 7 fans drove to JFK to fetch Louis from the airport.
It was quite nerve-wrecking! All the fans waited impatiently and kept on
guessing the whole time if it's louis to walk out next. Then there was always
those big questions: would there be a lot of body guards around him? Would he
be too tired or too "cool" to stop and talk with us? Would he just
"escape" from another exit? If so, which of us was to block him, etc
etc.
His plane actually arrived late, which gave us fans a while to prepare for the
encounter. When he walked out, we initially didn't recognize him, but when we
finally noticed that "gee, that IS Louis," we tried to catch him
right away. He was very very nice, and needless to say, VERY handsome (or 3-D
like Hannah likes to say =) He had on casual jeans and a (blue?) cap. He
chatted with us for a while and even took some photos with us. He was quiet,
and only answered in short sentences (he was probably tired) but overall he
was very friendly. We showed him the banner that Hannah made (it was really
nice, BTW) and gave him an extra-special gift, which was identical to
Jessica's. We didn't have a chance to ask him to sign autographs there, but it
was worth the drive. We were disappointed that Jessica's flight was not the
same as his, but we decided to come back the next day to fetch her of course!
So the next day, around the same time (which was apprx. 10PM - when i called
and EM "rudely" cut me off hehehe) she arrived at the same airport.
We waved another banner that Hannah made for her. Now, Louis is as handsome as
he is on screen, but Jessica is even a lot PRETTIER than she is on screen! She
had on no makeup except a bit of light lip stick. She was wearing sunglasses
so we couldn't really see her eyes clearly. Of course, she was also casual.
She chatted to us happily and thru out the entire time she spoke in 99.9%
English (British accent) as Vicky told you earlier. We gave her the same gift
we gave to Louis along with their individual bouquets. You'll have to wait for
other fans for a description of the gift, but all you have to know now is that
both Louis and Jessica gave us funny looks when they received it hehehe. We
took quite a lot of photos with her, and a short while after she had to leave
to the car.
So we drove back again, tired but really excited about the concert the next
day. On Saturday we went shopping most of the time to get them gifts. In
addition we got them 2 huge and gorgeous bouquet which we had to go through so
much trouble for and treat like our own babies! After shopping we went back to
the hotel to sneak up to "see" them rehearse for the concert. So all
these days we got very little sleep but still energetic.
Oh no, i'm late for class, gotta go, will give you a full decription of it
later!
