Today is November 20. My encounters all happened yesterday. This is kind of long, since so much happened but I will try to make it short. I live in St. Petersburg, Florida. And last weekend on a local radio station (93.3 FLZ) they were giving away pairs of tickets to a talk show here called Jack Harris LIVE. Thousands of people wanted these tickets because NSYNC were appearing on the show for a special private concert for the winners. But there were only 100 spots in the studio (since the studio is in the Brandon Town Center which is a mall and the studio is like an old shoe store or something) So the only way to get in was to be caller 9 and win them. I tried sooooo hard to win but ended up being callers 3,4,1, and 6 each time I tried. Well yesterday the show was at 11:30 am. I stayed home from school and my best friend Jen and I drove all the way over there (2 hours) at 8am. We got kicked out of the mall, so we went outside and saw... the tour bus! Security would not let us near it so we stood right by the back door of the studio for two hours waiting for them to get out and go into the show. We got to talk to Joey's brother, Britney Spears, *NSYNC's coreographer Jamar,and the wardrobe lady. We got to touch the clothes she was taking over to the bus. Then we saw Chris sitting in the driver's seat. We screamed and went hysterical, crying our eyes out. He honked the horn at us. At 11:25(by this time there were 200 people standing nearby waiting for them) they got out of the bus and started walking straight towards us (well we were kind of standing by the door they needed to get through) We were crying and screaming. Security had to hold us back but when they were walking through the door, Joey said "Let them in and they'll stop all the yackin" Justin winked at me, and the other guys just waved and laughed and told us to chill. Then MJ(from the MJ and BJ morning show on 93.3) told us he would see what he could do to get us in. The fire marshall said absolutely not due to some law about fire hazards or some bull like that. But then Jack Harris came out the door and took us inside and out to the lobby of the studio where we got to watch the show. All the girls outside the lobby windows were cussing us but we just waved and smiled. Then we left the lobby early and went outside and sat down by the backstage door again. They came out and when we realized they were heading to the bus we ran down there. Then all the screaming girls followed us. We stood on top of the security cars that were blocking the bus. I was crying so hard and then I did some crazy tongue thing at Joey and he smiled and told JC to look at me and I did it at him and they were laughing. Then Chris got out and put some little remote control car on the ground and got back in and made it run around. It was so cute! Then they got into the limo. Jen and I got into the car and followed the limo to some chinese food place in Tampa where we finally got their autographs. Joey wrote "To the tonguey honey" and JC wrote "I liked your tongue dance". I didn't get Justin's autograph and that was sad because I LOVE HIM SO MUCH. I couldn't stop crying but they told me that they would be mad if I didn't calm down so I did. I was so overwhelmed. I had gotten closer to them then I ever thought I would in my life. Then on our way home we were listening to the radio and they were doing an interview at 93.3 and we just happened to drive by it so we pulled over and went to the back of the station where the limos were behind a fence. I had to pee so bad but I didn't want to leave because I thought I would miss them so I went behind the car. We waited for an hour and then they came out and I got Justin, Chris, and Lance's autographs. They were all like "It's the tongue girl!!" and I told Justin how much I loved him and how I was going to the concert that night and he said that if we left the concert early that we could come down to the bus and see them again. When they left they all blew me those peace sign kiss things and I did the tongue thing again and Joey did it back and I was crying so hard and Justin was going "ssshhh" They drove away but the best was yet to come. Jen and I got into the car and followed the limo to some chinese food place in Tampa where we finally got their autographs. Joey wrote "To the tonguey honey" and JC wrote "I liked your tongue dance". I didn't get Justin's autograph and that was sad because I LOVE HIM SO MUCH. I couldn't stop crying but they told me that they would be mad if I didn't calm down so I did. I was so overwhelmed. I had gotten closer to them then I ever thought I would in my life. Then on our way home we were listening to the radio and they were doing an interview at 93.3 and we just happened to drive by it so we pulled over and went to the back of the station where the limos were behind a fence. I had to pee so bad but I didn't want to leave because I thought I would miss them so I went behind the car. We waited for an hour and then they came out and I got Justin, Chris, and Lance's autographs. They were all like "It's the tongue girl!!" and I told Justin how much I loved him and how I was going to the concert that night and he said that if we left the concert early that we could come down to the bus and see them again. When they left they all blew me those peace sign kiss things and I did the tongue thing again and Joey did it back and I was crying so hard and Justin was going "ssshhh" They drove away but the best was yet to come. When we got to the concert that night at the USF Sundome in Tampa, we looked for the bus so we could wait for them after the concert. We were standing behind a railing looking down on the bus. They were getting out of the bus and we screamed at them from above. There was no one around yet because we were three hours early. The bus driver said "look who it is" and Joey waved at us. Jen slipped over the railing and rolled down the hill and hit her head making her pass out so I ran down there in my platfroms and I tripped and fell on top of her. It was so embarrassing! But Lance jogged towards us and asked if we were ok. Jen told him she felt like a retard. Then he said to be more careful in our "spice girl shoes" and went inside with everyone else. We felt like idiots. We waited outside for a half an hour and people started pouring in but the doors were still locked. Our seats sucked really bad. They were 3rd level. So we went to the entrance for the fan club seats and the ticket man probably wasn't checking our tickets because he let us come in. When the concert finally started we were standing right in front of the stage. Justin pointed at Jen and I was so jealous. But I got to touch him when he put his hand down into the crowd. When an usher caught onto us he made us leave the area and go to our seats. But we didn't listen to him. We went tothese stairs and sat there for a while. I threw my glow stick onto the stage and Lance put it in his pocket. Then Joey recognized me and pointed at me. Then the mean usher told us to go to our seats or we would get arrested. So we just took off our shoes and ran as fast as we could outside and down the hill to the bus. We talked to a man who said "aren't you the one that was doing a whole bunch of crazy stuff with your tongue at the mall today?" i told him that was me and he said "was that directed to me or to NSYNC?" when i told him NSYNC he got mad. He called me a Hot Momma and when we found out he was the bus driver I asked if I could give him a hug. The pervert said "You cando alot more than that to me". But then security made us go back up to the top of the hill with the crowd. We got with the people who had Meet and Greet passes to go down and talk to the guys after the concert so we snuck down there with them. We got to hug them all and they remembered me!!! Justin and Joey kissed my hands and then some mean lady who had passes told on us and security made us leave. Justin said sorry and Joey did my tongue thing and we were escorted away from there. But we had had the best day in the world and I love those guys so much. Joey is now my fave because he has to be the nicest. I hope that all you NSYNC fans out there get to have a day like this because it is the best feeling to go to sleep at night knowing what happened was for real. * N SYNC rules!!
