Double the Trouble: HONOR SOCIETY. Allentown, PA & Clifton Park, NY. April 29th &30th,2010.

Double The Trouble........ he he.

See what I did there?
Cause it's...
The Here Comes Trou----
*crickets*

Anyways....

You read it right. We decided to see Honor Society one day after another in two different cities, in two opposite directions, two days in a row.

And by "we" I meant me & Ally.
The only one just crazy enough to want to venture off with me and my parents to Allentown, PA to see HS play at The Crocodile Rock Cafe, and then go back home to meet up with the rest of the group for the Clifton Park show.

We left that Thursday morning from my parent's workplace, and made a quick stop at McDonald's.

["Can I get salt no fries?"- Mother]

There was also set the Tom Tom aka Homer....
;)

....I believe it was an omen.

Anywhoooo... we hit the road, and I can honestly say it took us no time at all to get there.

Everything in Allentown was pretty familiar from a previous trip, and as we got closer we decided to hit a DD for a quick potty break.

That's where our troubles began....

First thing we noticed was a some blue spots on the back of Ally's jeans, and figured out that Madison had left a marker on the seat where she sat, and we didn't notice til now.....

Thennnnnnnnnnn as were were inside, my mom and dad were outside looking all around the car. They then told us that our car had a flat tire.......................

Seriously?

Finally someone came and put a spare on it, that the parents were gonna use until we got to the venue, and then they could get it fixed somewhere in town.

But we got back in and followed Homer.... He basically brought us into the Ghetto, bc of an East-West confusion in the Croc Rock's address......

So we went back to basically where we had started and then finally went the right way.

We made it to the venue, and got in line, which at this point really wasn't that long.

We came up as they were running a raffle.
I saw Kat handing out numbers to people in line, and for the person who won, would get to go to Soundcheck and Meet & Greet!

So I got one, and a lil later they pulled out a number.....

AND I WON!!!!!! :)

Omg I got so goddamn excited, and it was a great end to our bad luck.

Anywho, Kat took down our names and gave us wristbands, and we....... made friends with the girls behind us, so they could hold our spot :)

Anyways, it wasn't too long before we got to go in.

There wasn't a lot of people, so we got a good view, and we weren't in there long before the guys came out and onto the stage.

They sang See U in The Dark?.... idr....
But then they answered some questions. Here is them in a vid I recorded asking who would play them in The Honor Society Movie...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79DImVQ9y3A
"See You In The Dark.... In 3D"
"Also in 2D"
<3>

They also brought some girl up to sing "Where Are You Now" with her name in it. Lol.

It was so goddamn funny to see in person.

Then it was "When I Get Home" <3 and they ended the Soundcheck portion, and lined up for the Meet & Greet.

Well we were last-ish, but whatevs.

When I got up to them, I automatically broke the "No hugging" rule, and gave Alex a quick hug, and he said it was nice to see me again.

Then I got in the middle and asked for a "group hug kid of thing".

Andy obeyed by puttin his arm in. Alex had it that way until he picture was actually taken, and then he stood normal.

Jackass.....

But I can tell you right now that I am IN. LOVE. with this picture. <3<3<3<3>After the pic was taken, I got my stuff and waited for Al.

When she was done, we headed over to the meet and greet table to buy our merch meet and greet item, and this time, I got the shirt I initially wanted in NYC. lol.

We then headed back out, and were getting a lil hungry at this point.

So we had another group of people hold our spot while we made a trip to Subway.

On our way there, some random guy asked who was there that night, and Al answered Honor Society......... while Just Kait was right behind us.... =X

We should have said something, but also didn't wanna blow up her spot as she was heading into the Pizza parlor.

We got our Subway though and went into the pizza parlor to gander at their wall of fame before going back in line.

Turns out we were in the right line...

Bc as soon as were were let in, me and Al got a spot 2nd/3rdish row of girls in from of Jason. Not too shabby....

The show took a while, and had a fierce playlist of beats and Jonas Brothers. [The girls went nuts.]

But before, we knew it, Ashlyne was up first, rocking a black tank and these super cute shorts that I want now!

And I liked her SO MUCH better this time around!

I knew the songs a lil more, and she did an amazing job that night.

Just Kait also came out and killed it that night, and I recorded "Heart- Shaped Bruise" this time :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-UXjPgzDgEw

After Kait, it was a lil wait before HS was ready to go, but they finally made it to the stage with another AMAZING performance.

Everything was pretty much like NYC, with a little better view.... lol.

The only difference was that they added in "Heartache in the Suburbs"& "No Win Situation" !!!!!!

And Michael and I continued this Staring Contest we'd started during soundcheck, and we tried to see who would look away first.... I mean, I was victorious. lol

I also got a text from my dad saying that him and my mom were on the side of the stage watching the show!

So I looked over and low and behold, there they were. Lol.

When the show ended, my mom actually got a vid of them leaving the stage.

She said she high fived em all and took a vid.

She was so close, that I was able to get these stills...

She's crazy. lol.

Anywho, me and Al waited back near the Gypsy Lady, who was rockin out to some Michael Jackson at the time............................

And then we got in line and wanted to be at the end.

[Here we go again....]

So all the way from the room, to downstairs, and into the meet and greet room, we fought to stay in the back, and were victorious til about the end, when it was another girl.

Stupid bitch.

But we stayed in line, and got out our gift for Alex, which was a Syracuse Basketball shirt due to this tweet he replied to me a while back.... And we listened to other people around us.

And all I really remember was these retards with their light sabers (they were at NYC show).

It was their last show so they had em sign it, and I guess they gave Alex one at a previous show bc they asked him if he played with it.

"I play with my light saber every night"

......................................................................................................................................................................

Oh?

So I laughed at some random girl and Michael's mom watched.....

And I was the first to meet Andy first.

I handed him a picture that I took in NYC that I got an 8x10 of for them all to sign.

He asked what show it was. And I probably very duh/rudely was like "New York Cityy?"

And he was like "Oh Wow. Sorry I asked, it's just that we don't get to see this perspective of us... so I can't really remember.... ... But it's a really great picture."

He then handed it to Alex who signed it and then looked it over as Andy talked about how excited he was for Clifton once again.

Oh Andy.....

Anyways, when we got to Alex, he pointed to the pic that was now with Michael and said he liked it as well.... Then I tried to remind him of when he said that he liked Syracuse, which is our home team, so we got him this shirt....

He got excited and him and Michael were like "Oh snap!...." "The Cuse!"- Alex. It was madd cute.

He apparently kept it, but we're hoping he wears it soon!!.......................

[So?.......... Alexander........................? lol]

Then he thanked us as Kat was telling us to move along *rolls eyes*, and I went quickly through Michael and Jason who I reminded about coming to the show tomorrow.

"Should be a good show!"- Jason [I mean don't be dumb Jason.... LOL]

At this pojnt, I had gotten Ashlyne and Just Kait's stuff in NYC so I didn't need to see them again.

While Ashlyne was talking to someone I thought I could be real slick, and just go around........

But no, he saw me, apologized and told me to go right ahead.

I told them both that I had it already, but that they both did a good job, before I headed upstairs.

Turns out that upstairs was into the pizza parlor where my parents were along with some of Just Kait's band.

We didn't stick around too much longer and we just ended up going to the car.

We also ditched Ally's non-used Just Kait poster and Ashlyne Huff CD Sampler in the bush that she didn't need. lmao.

We headed back to the hotel which was 45 mins or so away, but not too bad.

We took turns taking showers before settling for bed.

The next morning, we were up at about 6ish? after my phone alarm blastin HS singing the Golden Girls theme song... lol.

We got ready and out by like 7:30ish I believe?....

And headed across the street for Breakfast.

We hit the road shortly after, and even that ride didn't take long either.

We were home in NO Time. Went to my house for a quick minute and then to Ally's.

Ash got dropped off by Lauren [my bff I miss her :P], and Caity came and got us afterwards.

Since Emma was unable to go this time, we thought we'd be great friends and let Brinnuh take her ticket. So she did, and we picked her up before heading out.

It didn't take us long to get to Clifton Park either.

In no time were in the town and found Northern Lights Plaza.

It was a random place too. Near some church and a gym that we joked they were probably in. Turns out they were and we saw them walking back. =P

There wasn't a lot of people there at all, so we just chilled.

After a while, we decided to make signs and so we ran to the dollar store for a minute for little posters and markers as well as crayons and coloring books...... we're such children.

So we made two signs and then doodled on the others. lol.

One said CUSE that we planned to raise up for the picture they usually take the crowd....

And one for Alex to give me and Ally a couple of his drumsticks.

We left them out with Brinnuh as we had to get in line for our Soundcheck & meet and greet that we all won through the fanclub :)

Kat remembered me and checked off my name and some girl put our bracelets on.

Al's was a lil to tight too, so she had to get another one. Lol.

Then she asked if we wanted to write a question for the guys, so Ash came up with one and I wrote it down. Team effort. lol.

While we waited the boys did their pre-soundcheck before the Soundcheck party, and they watched everyone singing and dancing along. We probably all looked really sexy.... lol.

Then they went somewhere and we got to go in.

We were on Andy's side this time, and they didn't take long at all to come back out.

They sang Two Rebels?.... I don't even know.... lol

And then did another q&a sesh.

*Michael's peacocking*

They were pretty cute, but some of us got a tad bit excited when Alex answered our question!! [Al called it to bc she thought she saw Alex holding it :)]

You can see the whole thing here:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ace9L7VRwWc

So we had a good chuckle, and they once again sang "When I Get Home" before Soundcheck ended.

We once again got at the end of the line, and got ready for our pics.

Because I had won the day before, and I knew that we were gonna have soundcheck for this show, I decided to give up my pic so that we could finally have our KACA picture with Honor Society. It needed to be done. I'm such a sweet gal. 0:)

So Ashley went first, and she had them be the nerds falling over the pretty girl, which turned out amazing.

Glasses provided by ash, me and Al btw...

Mine are on Andy and Michael.

We couldn't stop laughing at Alex. lol.

Then, Caity and Al went before me.

I told Kat my idea, and she said "Ok everyone in!" So they came back over, and Alex started to put his arm around me, when Ash reminded us that we were gonna do "handhugs".... Dammit...

So we all crossed arms and huddled up for this Epic picture :)

"That's gonna be a good one"-Alex.

Duh. lol.

We stopped by the merch table to get our other bracelets, and I got some sweatpants with "Goodnight my Love" written on the ass, lol. [They're the ones I was gonna get in nyc but they didn't have them til this show!]

Then we headed back out, and started talking to a girl we recognized from the FL Pearl River show.

After a whileeeeeee, we finally got to go in, and it was by far the closest we'd all gotten together. Right behind just one group of girls. ["The Jolly Green Giant"]

The show seemed like it took forever to start, but when it finally was time to start, the show went by so quick.

Ashlyne killed it once again, and Just Kait rocked out.

Honor Society played a pretty intense show bc as we all knew, it was Andy's hometown show. Lol.

I remained victorious in the staring contest [except for when Al broke my concentration bc I thought she was talking to me during soundcheck.

But the show.... I still win.] Then I decided to record "Here Comes Trouble", just bc it was right.

And in the beginning... Yes, Michael pointed at my camera :)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wuQXjWhaVAs

<3>

We also held up the Cuse sign during the picture....

And the Drumstick one half-worked out bc Alex only ended up with one drumstick, and he handed it to me...........

The show ended, & it kind of sucked that this was truely the last show for a while :(

So we took our asses over the bar and got a drink.

Ashley introduced me two nice girls... one that went to SU, and one who had interviewed them earlier that day. Luckyyyyy!

Then we got in line for m&g. I was 2nd to last again, and I didn't get to hear too much of everyone else's convos but it was pretty mellow this time.

Just kinda talked about the show, and some handhugs.... and Jason asked if this was the last show.

That was depressing... thanks CHIEF.

Then ash handed me her CD and I said "Oh I already...." And both her and Kait remembered from the night before that I'm all good. lol.

So then we headed out to Pam, and made the trip home.

I really only remember changing into my new HS sweatpants [I mean I had a dress and tank top underneath so don't get worried], and falling asleep.

Woke up just as we got home, and dropped Brinnuh off before going to Denny's.

And we didn't stay long....
But should have stayed a lil longer.....
We'd just missed DRAKE!!

Anyways, me and Ash stayed up til like 4/5 watching vids and looking at pics and reminiscing about the night we'd had.

It was a good ending though, bc it really was gonna be a while before we were going to see them again...

[Though me and Al were REAL close to going to Boston....]

But Ash had told them my brilliant idea of them to play at the fair before Lady Antebellum at the fair. ;)

And if not.... There should be a tour for summer and fall that will hopefully have Syracuse on it!

It was so much fun going back to work too lemme tell you. Lol.

Lady I work with: "Didn't you go on a tour or something?" Me: "A tour?"
Lady: "Yeah all those days you had off, I heard you went on tour with some band?"
Me *giggling*: "Uh yeah, kinda...... lol"
Lady: "Who did you see?"
Me: "Honor Society....."

Lady: "OH good for you!!"

...... yeah I'm pretty sure she thinks it was for school. Lol.

Peace out.

Bhye!

HONOR SOCIETY. New York, NY. April 24th, 2010.

Hello world. I'm your wild girl.... I'm your Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch-Cherry Bomb.

..... I really don't really know what that was for. lol.

But anywho...

One thing I forgot to really mention in my last blog is that I also started an Honor Society Book... kind like my Jonas Book. Just something to write about my adventures with KaCa and friends that we take to see this band I love so much... (Jonas who?)

It makes it a lil easier to have a lil something, like my blog to go back to when I have finally written in the book, like days, weeks, and months later [This is me, we're talking about].

So since I kinda of missed New Years Eve and School of Rock, I gotta pick it up again with the story of when KACA [Twinkle Douches are KACA now btw....] and Emma traveled to NYC to see Honor Society at Nokia Theater.

We left later than usual, which is normal for us, but we finally got our asses together and on the road.

It really wasn't a long trip, but ya know.......... long enough....

We skipped our initial plan to stop at Yankee Stadium due to the unexpected traffic that caused us to be a lil behind the time we wanted to be...

But we finally made into Manhattan and headed straight for the hotel.

["Battery Pack"- Ally]

It made it kind of hard to find it though, bc of all the One Way streets literally surrounding our hotel....... ugh.

When we finally found it, we decided to do a lil split. Me, Ash & Emma were to check in and bring the stuff up while Al and Caity parked Pam around the corner.

We took everything out, and got in fine, and took the elevator up to the 19th floor.

And the room? HO-LY SHIT!

It was sooooooo nice.

One big bed...

A nice bathroom with a sliding door...

["It's just like the one on the Real World!"- Ally]

A sweet livingroom-ish/Kitchen-ish set up on the other side of the bedroom wall. It was pretty sweet, as you can def see.

But we didn't have much time there bc we had to get ready to go to the show.

After calling the parents, and getting dressed, we were dress to impress, and headed out of the hotel looking fierce as usual...

We headed out and on to Wall Street to find the nearest subway station...

Unfortunately, the nearest subway station was closed.... and so was the next one.... and another one...

So we decided to ask some cops parked around for where to go... So Caity did it.... in her southern accent. Lol.

He told us, and then laughed asking where we were from...

And Caity responded "I'm from Tennessee"... and we all laughed.

Then Emma kind of blew up or spot telling him "Upstate!"...

So from now on.... it's Upstate Tennessee lol.

Anyways, we finally found an open Subway station, and thought it was just a quick ride to Times Square...

But it had been a while since we'd taken the subway and we almost ended up in Brooklyn.

I was getting really upset after a while of going on the wrong train, but thankfully we made it. :)

The line for the show was ridiculously long, by the time we had gotten our spot in line, we were on the other side of the Nokia entrance, near The Lion King.... lol.
Made for some interesting looks and questions from people walking by wondering wtf we were waiting for...

["The Lion King", "The Wiggles", "I don't really know", "Nonya, Just go about your business Miss"]

Anyways, it was about a 2 hour wait before the doors opened, and we made a McDonald's run, talked with a couple of girls that Caity knew, and watched a vendor get madd pissed at this girl who knocked over a pic of Yankee Stadium.

Good times.

Anyways, it was finally time for Doors to open and the line began to move... We got into Nokia, and I must say it was so beautiful in there, and I was jealous of the chandeliers in both the lobby and theater itself.... I wish I would have taken more pictures of them.

We headed to the merch table, and I myself bought the Here Comes Trouble Tour Shirt, when I thought it was supposed to be something else *rolls eyes*.....

And got my wristband for the meet and greet after the show.

We got inside the theater, where DJ FreestyleSteve was bustin out some hot beats the entire time before the show actually started.

He was only rude in the fact that he didn't play any Bieber, a hero when he decided to not play the Jonas Brothers, and an all-around great DJ for interaction with the crown through talking to the crowd and taking requests and shout outs from twitter.

For us, we just wanted to get as close as we possibly could, and due to my reputation for the last show, I was the leader of the pack, starting from the side, and by the end of the night, ending up 5/6 rows back in front of Michael. BAM!

Caity didn't stick around bc it got a lil crazy and overwhelming, but we stayed and enjoyed the show as best we could in between all the pushing and shoving.

The show finally got going when Ashlyne Huff came out first. I didn't really like her too much at this show bc all I could really rock out to was Heart of Gold, and it took a while to get there.

Lol.

But then Just Kait came on, and she played all the good stuff that I knew... "Hot Stuff", "Sick", and my favorite "Heart-Shaped Bruise" <3The DJ Freestyle kicked some more beats, and even had Ashlyne come back to dance for a sec, and Johnny Wright talked to the crowd! :)

After that, the lights went down, and stroble lights and/or camera's went off, and we were ready for Honor Society.

I never heard a crowd scream louder than this one did when they came out.

And they came out in style and right into a fierce rendition of "Rock With You". It was so ill. I couldn't get enough of that song's new hot beats. They went right into See You In The Dark next....

And though I really can't remember ALL the songs they played, I know there was "Here Comes Trouble", "My Own Way", "Nobody Has To Know" "Where Are You Now" "Over You"....

Including an acoustic medley of "In My Head", "Speechless", "Need You Now", "Use Somebody", and "Down", which went right into my fave song right now "When I Get Home".They finished up with "Full Moon Crazy" and by the end of the show, I was amazed by this band. The show was INCREDIBLE.

We stayed in the theater part for a bit before me and Emma went to go get something to drink.

We were next to Michael and Jason's family who were getting ready to go backstage and see the guys.

When we went back in, we finally met back up and just chilled and waited for the meet and greet.

We wanted to be last so that hopefully, we could get more time with them, but it was getting late, and we were all getting really tired, so we decided to move a lil closer to where we needed to be.

And after I was just about to pass out right there on the stairs.... We finally got to go up and meet the guys....

Sans accents too which was extremely hard... lol.

I went next to last and Andy was first....

I basically handed my him my phone that I decided to have them all sign. I really just decided to stand there and wait for him to talk to me bc I was just not fully awake to have convos... lol

He looked at me as I was honeslty... kind of spacing out, and asked if I was ok. I laughed and said I was ok, and said they did a good job. I also told him about how we were going to see them again next week for Allentown and Clifton Park, as Alex listened.

Andy said Clifton was his hometown show, and he was excited for it.

We chit chatted for a lil bit after before I just kinda stood in front of him for a bit before I asked"I mean can I have a hand hug"..... in my accent too :x

He said of course, and we hand hugged while he gave me the BEST smile I have ever seen on that beautiful face....... *sighhhhhhhh*....

Anyways I moved onto Michael who said what's up and it was nice to see me again, before complimenting my shirt.
[Which actually "MB" written on it for the designer of Bisou Bisou]

And then he signed my phone, and thanked me for coming before he winked and smiled.
.................................... eep.
[Love him.]

Anyways, I had to move on to Jason, who asked if I liked the show, and as Michael listened on I told him we were going to see them next week, and he said that it should be a good show.

[Duh.]

Then I didn't really get to talk to Ashlyne and Kait, but they handed me a CD and a picture, and then we headed out.

We all chat-chitted, on our way out onto the busy street, and did our first flag down for a cab.

We got this random cab with a guy who really didn't know where he was going.......

But we made it back fine, and got our ride for practically nothing, so it was all good.

Made it up to the room after and just chilled.
Me and Emma ate... lol.

Then before we knew it, we all passed out.

The next day we hit the NYC streets for a bit before we had to go home.

It was so great to be back in the city, but we unfortunately didn't get to do everything we wanted bc of time, and the rain that lasted all day. :(

But we know we'll go back soon when it's not for a concert so we can enjoy the city <3

As for Honor Society, we'd be seeing them again....
Very. Soon. ;)

But for now. Peace out.
















LOL.

Love,
Loretta Minnitonka
Bhye ya'll! ;)

hehe

I think it's safe to say...

that I am the worst blogger ever.

Hahaha.

No seriously.

All of my blogs ,when actually written, are pretty much the same... 99% of it's about a show/concert I've been to, 9% is about my personal, and 1% is filled with gibberish....

So with that in mind, Imma keep the tradition alive, but have this blog just talk about what's been going oon lately in my life.

Let's get real here...
If only for a minute...

Which is very possible, b/c really it hasn't been much.

After my last blog the only thing exciting that has happened, has been by shows.
I went to see HS on New Years Eve in Hershey, PA with Caity and Ashley...
And then I saw them play at The School of Rock in S. Hackensack, NJ with Ally, Ashley, Brina and my bff guilt, who brought along drama.
Me and last two aren't that close anymore, and while the others have been rocky, it's good gfor now... and I kinda wanna keep it that way.

Anywho, I also saw Ryan Cabrera again, where me and Al ended up in his dressing room [say whaaaa?] and I got the worst pic ever taken with a celeb. I'd show you but that photo has been deleted, and will never EVER be seen..... EVER. Lmao.

But ouside of the "Glamour Life"....

I'm still working hard for the money at JCP. and OCC is taking my money even though, I'm currently not going......... Nice right?

I also have a new nephewwwwwww.... Connor Mark! Cute as a button and makes the silliest faces when he sleeps.

Nikki's alo officially nuts and gonna get her shit rocked soon if she don't calm down.

Other than that....

I'm sorry.

That's basically it.

So that really was a quick update of my real life.... Now stay tuned for the nest show.

This is pathetic. lol.

--PoCa (is real)

From one Honor Society show to another....

*Update*

...So when you hand your favorite band a drawing made by you, and they tell you they're gonna put it up ~somewhere "special "and someone like idk... Kat says "I know the perfect place"...


You get kinda curious as to where it was actually placed.




So I randomly sent a message to Kat on facebook and said that I hope it didn't come off awkward but I was just really curious. She told me that my drawing, my beautiful, 18 hour masterpiece is on their bus in the window. I told her that that was cool and whatevs, and trying to give her a little hint to kindly take a pic for me, saying that I wish I could get out to another show and see it ;)


...Instead she told me that they were having another show November 12th in NYC and that I should go.



Psh... fat chance.


But then a lil miracle happened...

I was telling Ally all about what me and Kat said back and forth and when I said something about Nov. 12th, Al said "Kel let's go". And after thinking she was joking for a good 10 mins or so, she told me she was serious and we started making plans.


So after getting all excited...
to buying the ticket...
to counting down the days, hours, minutes...
On November 12th we made the 5 hour trip to NYC to see Honor Society. =D


Wednesday night, November 11th, I eventually got to Caity's house where Ash was, and where Al didn't show up til the morning.


Left later than usual, which is how we usually do these things so no need to stress out.

Hit the road with "Frank" [Ally's GPS] leading the way... I introduced a new game called PUSH, I giggled during a little study brush up for Caity given by Ally ["very good"]... and then a "Who's Hotter?" fight between Al and Caity over Nick Jonas and David Archuleta, that almost resulted in Ally having to ~walk to the venue. LOL.


Stopped a couple of times, but then we began to see that NYC skyline, not to mention the HUGE bridge Caity had to go over.
["Nothing's gonna happen on The Hudson!"
"A FREAKIN PLANE LANDED IN THE HUDSON!!!"]

But we also got to see Yankees Stadium which was pretty awesome!


Anywho [I say that a lot... Just a warning], we finally found The Fillmore at Irving Plaza and the conveniently located parking lot just around the corner. We let the men with the intimidating "swine flu" masks take PAM [Caity's car], and walked down toward the theater. And as I noticed a couple of ~gentlemen taking pictures with some girls, I was told to look before being pushed into oncoming traffic by lovely bff Ashley.... [I've forgiven her, I promise lol.]


But by the time we'd gotten our camera's out Jason and Michael were being pulled in by Kat and some other peeps. So we kept walking and then went right by Andy & Alex who were coming the opposite way closely followed by.... Willis =D ["puppyyyyyyyyyyyy!"]


We rounded the corner, and the line really wasn't bad at this point- it was only like 12:30. We stayed there for a bit before getting antsy to walk around. So when someone behind us showed up, we asked them to kindly save out spot while we took a walk in the neighborhood.


Hit starbucks first for a potty run. Went into Forever 21, where I was in heaven for a bout 10 mins before we left. Went to another store called "The Basement" that had a pretty amazing view of the city.


We went to Walgreens twice to put in pics to be done, and then again to not only fight the wind, but pick the pictures that Ash and Caity needed for the m&g.


We headed back and traded 2 by 2 to walk around or whatevs, including finding some hand warmers =D


After waiting, in the rain and wind strong enough to break Ally's umbrella she just bought..... We waited with other fans, and were waiting for Caity's friend Kevin to show up.


He was pretty late, but eventually made it around I wanna say 2/3? idr.


Anyways Caity, Kevin & Ally decided to go to Starbucks while me and Ash were nice enough to hold our spots. They were gone for a long while, but came back for a bit before having to go out again to get something to eat.


So me and Ash bonded with the girls behind us [Kristin & Ashley] , and someone that Ash knew [Nicole], as well as some others around us. It was a pretty good time, and even better when Honor Society stepped out of a black van and decided to say what's up to the fans before going in. And though we honestly weren't that far, we didn't get anywhere near them b/c a crowd formed around them, and they were pulled inside.


Note to all Fans. If you crowd around them you make it worse. You do realize if you'd just stood there they may have been able to move around a little right? *rolls eyes*


Anywhooooooooo, Still frozen, we waited, and the three missing links finally showed up again, to tell the beautiful tale of a short adventure where Kevin broke a toilet.... "into three pieces"... and they ran.


I don't think I've ever laughed so hard.



Since I was pretty oblivious about my meet and greet details [that's right MY meet and greet... I had to go by myself =( ], so I decided to go with Caity to ask someone what was going on with that while she tried to get a ticket for Kevin. Of course, they didn't know and then one guy was quite rude, and very unhelpful.


On our way back we realized that someone was missing from the group but re-appeared with a crowd of his own snapping pics with every gal in line.... awkwaaaaaaaaaaaaaard. We let them have their moments though, and I stood back with Ash while he finished up then went with Caity and Al to try and get another ticket for him.


Before I knew it they were back and I had to go stand in my designated line to get my Meet & Greet stuff.


The doors opened not too long after and though I was in a different line, I met up with the rest of them going in =)


SO then I checked my coat, got my merch I needed for the regular m&g before we all just kinda hung out in the back.


The back started to get filled up, and me & Ash decided to try and get up closer.


Impossible you say? HA! Psh... please.


If it hasn't worked for you, it's bc you don't have my skills.

By the end of the night we were 2nd row of people on Andy's side.

The only minor set back we had the whole night where basically teenies making Ash claustrophobic enough to freak out a little so I pulled her up. =D


The show itself. Amazing.

Even Esmee rocked it. I just remember liking her "Diva" song, and then of course "Outta Here". She had a really great voice too, and I highly recommend her to anyone who hasn't been able to see her live.


After she ended, it took a while... but once I heard "Empire State Of Mind", I knew that the show had begun =D



They came out right after the song ended, and went right into "Over You". I'm not one of those people that memorize set lists [or look them up... hey I'm lazy alright?] so I dunno the exact order, but it was pretty much all the good stuff... Me and Caity's song "2 Rebels", my favorite "Here Comes Trouble", the close second "Nobody has to Know", the sweet "Don't Close The Book", and then it tied all together of course with "See U In The Dark.


The highlights had to be being awkwardly stared at by Michael during "Why Didn't I?" "Full Moon Crazy" and "Sing For You'... [um hi?]


Jason singing an awesome cover of Kings Of Leon's "Use Somebody" =D

... and then there was Esmee Denters coming back out for "My Own Way". She did a great job singing with Michael, and at the very end, she said pretty much what every girl wanted to hear "He's single Ladies" =D [good girl]


After "See U In The Dark", they played "Empire State Of Mind" again complete with some ~moves before going off stage and the fans scattered.


We found the other 3 pretty easily, and I didn't really get to say much before the ones with the "golden wristbands" had to go back near the bar to get in line for the Private Meet & Greet.


I re-did my make up, and since Ashley was kind enough to lend me her phone, I texted the girls to let them know what was up.


As I made my way upstairs I was contemplating my idea for my picture. I hadn't really gotten a normal picture with the boys yet, but I had told the other Twinkle Douches that I would draw their names on a piece of paper for them to hold and make sad faces bc they couldn't be there with me.


The idea seemed kind of silly to me considering they were gonna meet them like 20 mins after I did, so I asked them if it would be ok if I just got a normal picture with them.



They said yes, and I decided that's what I was gonna do, before someoneeeee made me feel guilty and at the last minute I got my papers out with their names.


I literally got it out as the girl in front of me was taking her picture, and had enough time for that and spray some perfume, before Andy looked my way.


We said what's up? and he said "good to see you" as we hugged. Then Michael hugged me and said "hey good to see you again". [And an awkward hug at that considering he's a little an the short side and I'm just under 6 feet tall.... =X]


Then Jason also gave a hug, before I got to Alex, who was saying something to someone before looking over and giving me a big nuzzly hug. [I can die happy now].


Then I got the paper's out and asked them to make the sad faces for my picture...
and then had to explain it again...

Before I got this picture taken:


Apparently Michael didn't get the memo, but the others did including Alex who decided to tell us how he really felt, lol.


Anyways, they gave the papers back and I started to head down before I realized that I didn't have my camera. So I turned back around, and Alex handed it to me saying "Here you go sweetie..." and I said I knew I was forgetting something... lol. And then I left after he said "Don't worry about it I GOTCHU". *rolls eyes*



Went downstairs and told the girls I did what they wanted me to, and they got all excited and we had a good laugh over the pic. Then I asked where Kevin was and apparently he had left. Rude.


We headed upstairs slowly, but surely towards the top floor again [got a nice ~cardiovascular workout that night].


We swapped around to our order in line for the m&g before taking pics with Esmee [except me b/c I did it the first time]...

And so with it being Jason, Michael, Alex and Andy at the table, the order became Caity, Ashley me and then Ally at the end.



I didn't get to hear too much of Caity's, but I just remember Ashley telling Jason that she wanted him to draw a heart for a tattoo that she's getting, and he asked "Are You Sure?" She said it she was and he drew it then shoved the back of Ash's pic towards Michael before even telling him what it was for saying "Here draw a heart"... lol


When I got up to Jason I handed him the pic from Pearl River of us holding the picture...

He looked at it and then told me that it was on their bus right now, and it was awesome before getting up and hugging me and I didn't even ask him. =D


I then moved on to Michael who basically said the same thing, but he didn't say too much before I told him they had a really good show and asked for another hug to fill in the awkwardness that settled in. So he got up and hugged me and gave me a sweet lil backrub [oh?] before sitting back down. At this point I just remember discussing with Ally how rude it was having this girl behind us put her CDs right in FRONT of Ally for the boys to sign, and then looking at Alex "prepare" to draw and somewhat wonky heart. lol.


Then when I'd gotten to Alex, he said hello or whatevs and signed my picture before looking back up and saying something about "So you're our talented artist" =D [eeep! I'm 12 again]


He also said it was very good before I thanked him and went right on to Andy.


All I remember is him going "Didn't we see you just a few minutes ago?" I was like "Psh no... What are you talkin' about? No way.............. yeah yeah you did", before he left and said "Well it's great to see you again, hope to see you again soon" and then I headed out.


We all went down the stairs telling all of what happened.


We were also prepared to stay near the back door, but the long line would've made it a LONG wait and at 11:00 we had to get home.


So we picked up and paid for Pam to be released out of the garage, before Frank took us all sorts of wonky ways to get out of the city.


I fell asleep somewhere just outside of the city and woke up in Jersey stopping at a Days Inn. I guessed that the determination to get home, didn't really make go over to well, considering we actually wouldn't have gotten home til like 4/5...


But the rooms were full, and we tried to find a non-existant Best Western [wtf Frank?] in PA, that led us to a Quality Inn that was perfect.


It was only $100 so $25 each, for the night. And it was fairly nice excpet for the sketchy desk clerk who felt the need to lead us not only to our room... But IN our room, and out the other way. Asking if the hallway reminded us of "The Shining" and then showed us how to lock the door in a way that no one could get in [which we used].


We really just reminisced about the show before falling alseep and then waking up at about 8.


We got up, checked out and left. Made a couple of stops in between more PUSH games and coming up with out aka name KaCa [our initials].


So that was basically the whole trip.


And since then each and everyone of us has the WORST Post-Concert Depression that I think I have ever had.


It got so bad we almost made a trip to Boston this past Sunday.


We didn't do it. But it was fine.



I'm thinking the next adventure would have to be New Years Eve. Just waiting on a few stuff to be finalized, but I've said before that that would be THE show to go to, and we are going to try our best to make it happen. =D


Til then... we'll just have to see...


-♥PoCa [is crossing her fingers]

This whole one blog a month kick I'm on continue's...

So I actually started writing this before, but I never finished... I saw someone else write their review too so it made me want to do mine b/c no offense... My day was ~much better.

Anyways....

I got up at the "crack ass of dawn" Sunday morning on October 4th at 4 am after going to bed at midnight b/c of work just for Honor Society. *whew* I was TIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIRED... lol.

So I got up & ready before 5, and Ash picked me up at like quarter after/5:30ish.

We went by Caity's before hitting the road.

I fell asleep so the sunrise came and went, before we made a stop.

I was with Ash & her mom for a while before I went with Caity. Made the journey go by a lot faster and we really were there in Pearl River before we knew it...

[We also got a really funny twitter update from Alex lookin to find breakfast but ending up crashing two wedding receptions. What a silly bitch... ... But I pictured him doing it in his Ninja Turtles Snuggie =P]

We pulled in, and got our pretty much useless wristbands that guaranteed us to get into the concert... And do the charity walk.

Then we got in a long ass line of teenies and had to wait til they let us in...

The boys came out to do a soundcheck and even started to rock out to the All-American Rejects' "Move Along" =D.

They had to go back in to get ready for the show, so we still waited and waited, and then got some merch in between all the waiting.

Finally they let us in, when HS was supposed to be starting.

We kind of went towards the back of the crowd b/c there was no need for us to be squished like we could have been.

Radio DJ's and some contest people came out and talked for a bit, but FINALLY.... The ~gentlemen walked out and right onto stage before being introduced.

That's when the fun began. They rocked out every single song they performed... From "Over You" to "Where Are You Now", to "Nobody Has To Know" to my favorite "Here Comes Trouble"... Before "See U In The Dark" tied the whole thing up. And I think I took WAY too many pictures of some great faces like these:

LOL.

Well... anyways, when the show ended... Betches ran like it was their job just to get in line for the meet and greet...

We were towards the end, and it not only took long just to get up there... But I think they must've changed again and taken a shower or something b/c they took foreverrrrrrrrr to come back out.

When they finally did... it still went by pretty slow... But you can tell it was because they were taking time with like each and every fan.

We made friends with a 15 year old, her mom and their friend...?

But it was fun. [I love HS fans they're a lot nicer than JB fans]

When we finally got closer we distinguished out order and how we were gonna approach the gents, and I think Caity was first.

I was far behind the big USA pears backdrop so I don't know much of what happened with her other than Michael told her once again that she had a rather sweet smell coming from her, and she had a wonky eye in her pic that she had to re-do later.

Like I said, I couldn't see anything, but Ashley was standing next to Alex waiting for Caity to finish up. And I remember we were "fighting" or something and I stuck out my tongue. So she stuck it back out at me and flipped her hair... while Alex watched.

lol.

Then she did her thing. And somebody near me thought I asked him something when I didn't so we both got confused and so I really didn't see much of what happened with her.

Then Ashley was gone, and Alex looked over me [pretty much felt 12 years old again and had some fierce sexy music go though my head when he smiled and said hello]. I then, gave him a hug, and Michael a hug before I stopped them and showed them the poster that I made them.

They were all amazed and told me they liked it before Michael said "We get to keep this right?!" I giggled at him actin like a lil kid askin if he could get a new video game... and said "Absolutely I made it for you!" So there were some thank yous before we ended up taking our pic with it. =D

Then Kat grabbed it as I believe it was Michael that said "We're gonna have to put that some place special", and Kat said "I know the perfect place"

Then she handed it over to Lisa from SOM, and Mandy [yes that Mandy who I just noticed was off to the side.]

I went to the other side near Andy and talked to Ashley for a sec before I felt a tap on my shoulder from Andy asking if my MOM could use my camera.

I told him that was her [*pointing to Ash*] mom and then had to call ash over so Ash's mom could get her AMAZING picture. I'm jealous! =P

Then I remember her telling Michael were from Syracuse before asking them if we could all get a picture with them doing that "hand thingy". lol.

So we all went near our ~gentleman of preference and as I tried to match up with Michael, I kindaaaaaa left Alex hanging. Woopsie.

But then we all smiled and took this AMAZING picture.

Nothing could beat this meet and greet pic, it was truely the best picture with a celeb. Just too amazing for words.

Anywho... Lol.

We did have to eventually get out of there to get back home. =(

And the whole way, we just talked about our pics took some more.... got seperated and lost. Due to no cell phones, the only way we finally communicated was to use a Preble rest stop's pay phone. hahahaha. So wierd to have to pick it up when it rings FYI.

But this was definitely a trip to remember. I just wish Al could have been there. =( But believe me this wouldn't be the last time we'd see Honor Society...

Oh no. Definitely not the last time.
