I'm gonna talk about a couple different things more in depth...

Meeting Isaac
Their hotel was designed really weird. The first floor was where you walked in and there was a bench right there, then you went around the corner and there were 2 sets of elevators. Floors 2-5 were parking and level 6 was the actual lobby. So me and Emily sat ourselves down on the bench in the "fake" lobby on the first floor and waited for them to come out. It was really nice because we were the only 2 fans waiting there. So we're sitting there... Emily's talking to Jessica on the phone and we heard the dinging from the elevator so we look and there's Isaac walking towards us! I was like, "Hey, can we get a picture with you really quick?" He kinda looked around then said, "Yeah, sure." Emily gave me her camera and went to stand next to him. I took their picture then saw that it didn't turn out very well. Isaac was like, "That's because of the back lighting. We should move somewhere else." So they turned around and stood by the wall and I took their picture again. Then we switched and I got my picture taken with him. =D We thanked him and he was all "Yep, you're welcome." and started to walk out the doors, but stopped and slowly turned around.

ISAAC: Ah.... so, how old are you guys?
EMILY: I'm 20.
ME: I'm 22.
ISAAC: (to me) REALLY?!
ME: Yeah, people always say I look like I'm 17.
ISAAC: And you drove here all by yourself?
EMILY & I: Yeah.
ISAAC: Wow... so what school do you guys go to?
EMILY: I go to Augsberg (sp?), it's a private college in Minnesota.
ME: I'm just working right now.
ISAAC: Oh, cool.... well, see you guys later...

HAHA! Isaac... oh you're such a man whore. (I love him like whoa) Then like, 20 minutes later Emily was outside talking to Jessica again and I was sitting on the bench inside. All of a sudden Isaac came walking around the corner carrying a bag (his lunch I'd assume) from Arby's. He walked inside the hotel and when he saw me sitting there he smiled and nodded. I wanted to say something but I didn't know what so I just smiled back. He got on the elevator and Emily came back inside like, WHAT THE HELL?! LOL. It was hilarious.

OH YEAH! (sorry I forgot to add this earlier) When we were taking pictures and stuff Emily told him that we drove 14 hours to see them again.

EMILY: We drove 14 hours to get here.
ISAAC: WHAT?!
EMILY & I: Yeah.
ISAAC: Wha.... really?
EMILY & I: Yeah.
ISAAC: Wow...

Impressive, huh? LOL.

Meeting Taylor and Zac
We saw their bus being pulled up outside of the hotel so we went and waited out there of them. Not long after that Taylor, Zac (and Natalie) came walking outside. I looked at Taylor and said, "Hey, can we get a picture with you guys?" He's like, "Ah... sure, why don't you come down here." and motioned with his head towards their bus. So, we followed them to their bus and as they were getting on Natalie turned around and gave Emily and I a fake smile. Psh, whatever. Taylor and Zac came right back out and the VERY first thing Taylor did was walk up to Emily, shake her hand and say, "Hey, it's so nice to meet you. What's your name?" She's like, "Emily." Then Taylor turned to me, smiled, made eye contact and shook my hand. I go, "I'm Kim." He nodded and then I looked at Zac and he smiled, then shook my hand. (HEL-LO!) Taylor said something like, "You guys want to take some pictures?" So I went first (I think... then again it doesn't really matter) and stood next to Taylor, thinking we were taking individual pictures. Then Zac stood on the other side of Taylor and Taylor looked down at me and said "Do you want to stand in the middle?" I was like, "OH! Yeah, sorry." I slid in between them and put my arms around their backs. They had their arms around me too, (DAMN STRAIGHT!) so it was VEEEERY nice. Emily took the picture then she got her turn and we thanked them as they went to get back on the bus. Taylor tunred around and said, "Oh no problem... see you at the show?" We're like, "Yeah we'll be there." He said something like "Awesome" (I can't remember exactly) then they got on the bus.

So there you have it... WE MEET THEM AGAIN... BOOYA!! Now for the next concert.........
