Ok, this was almost a year ago, so I’m gonna try and remember everything as well as I can…bear with me though. I drove Kristi, Jill, and myself to Chicago early in the morning. We just hung out around the venue and stuff. I think it was around 4 when the gates to the place finally opened. I THINK we had, like, 20th row or something like that. We all had signs for the guys. I can’t remember what Kristi and Jill’s said, but mine said “Lance, be my Tasmanian devil!” lol cute huh. Oh yeah, this concert wasn’t just *N Sync. It was the B96 Summer Bash and there was like Mase, Boyz II Men…uh and lots of other people…can’t really remember though. Sorry! *N Sync was the first act though, which sucked cuz we were planning on leaving as soon as they got done. So, we only got to watch *N Sync…I wasn’t complaining though. During the concert, we were holding up our signs and the guys were looking over at us and readin’ them and stuff. It was cool. K, well after they sang, we went out to my car. It was us and these 2 other girls whom, because of it, I’ve become friends with. What’s up Sheriiiiii and Michelleeeeeeee. =op Anyway, when their vans started leaving, we followed ‘em... The traffic was friggen terrible! Sucked.
When we got to the airport, we got outta the car and went over to the guys. I seriously can’t remember what all happened and in what order…damnnnnnn it. Well I know I was talking to Lance. I gave him Tornado Taz. That thing kicked ass. I gave it to him and explained to him how it worked. I think he played with that thing for the next 15 or 20 minutes. He loved it! He was all, “Guys, look at this thing!” Chris said, “It’s like Tickle Me Taz!” lol hmmmm I remember saying to Lance something like, “I don’t think I’ve ever actually introduced myself to you.” He said, “Nope you haven’t” and just stared at me. SO I was like, “Ok I’m Nichole” and he grabbed my hand and shook it and said “I’m Lance.” I was like “I sorta knew that” and he was like “That’s good.” Oh yeah, I also gave him a framed picture of him and me from when I saw them in Iowa. I asked him if he remembered it and he said he did. He goes, “That was the first time I’d ever worn that shirt!” lol he’s a dork. I talked to him about other stuff too…oh yeah they were flying to New York from Chicago to be on the Regis & Kathy Lee show the next day. I talked to him about that…hmmmm oh yeah I asked him if he saw us at the concert. He asked where we were sitting and I said “I was the one with the sign…” and he cut me off and goes, “Oh! The Lance Taz thing! Yeah I saw you. I liked your sign.” I dunno what else was said though. We talked a lot though all while he was playing with his new toy hehe Anyway, I got my picture taken with him there…I also got my picture taken with Justin. While I was just standing there looking like an idiot at one point, J.C. looked over at me and goes “How’ve you been doin’ since we saw ya last?” I told him I’d been good. He asked if I saw the show and I told him yeah and it was good…blah blah blah. Everyone else was pretty busy at that point and I wanted to get a picture with him but instead I just asked him if I could take a picture since no one else was there to take it. He was like sure and then Justin tapped my shoulder and said “I can take the picture for you if you want me to.” Sooo, Justin was gonna take the picture for me. I showed him how to use the camera and while we were getting ready to take the picture, Joey got behind Justin and started making faces at us and stuff so J.C. and I were laughing…that’s why our smiles are so big in that picture lol If you look in J.C.’s sunglasses in the picture, the flash and stuff reflected off of it and you can see Justin’s jacket and stuff. Nifty. Anyway! I talked to all of the guys…Chris and Joey and stuff. Hmmmm I dunno what else happened really. Oh yeah, Jill told Justin, J.C. and Lance about our little 412 thing (inside joke) and J.C. sang to us. lol um All together, I think I ended up getting like 4 hugs from Lance that day. He gave me one right at first, then right after I gave him the Taz doll…then after he played with it for a little while he gave me another hug. He kept thanking me for it over and over again. Then I got one right before they left. All of them hugged me goodbye…J.C. said “Stay cute, sweetie!” while hugging me. lol I was just like “You too!” Which made him laugh…hmm Joey kissed my cheek. Lance actually gave me this huge like bear hug when we were saying goodbye. Justin did the same thing pretty much. He’s a LOT taller than I am so he was making fun of me for that. Ok well I think that’s pretty much it.
That was probably the best time I had with the guys. Usually there’s like 20 little girls (no offense to anyone!!) running around screaming which makes the body guards get mean...but this time there was only 3 of us and the other 2 girls who are both like 21 or older…so it was cool as hell. We were with them for a long time too. Wellllll ok I’m working on my other experiences too. I’ll let ya know when I post ‘em! Laterrrrrrrr!
