...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.
.jpg)
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.
b.jpg)
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]
.jpg)
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:
b.jpg)
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]...
.jpg)
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]
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:




...Or Meeting David Henrie:
Finally made it to the hotel, the Red Roof Inn.
Not too bad.
... Yeah hers was better.
Right when they finished, they came back onto our side and their sweaty selves strutted down the aisle and I got high fives from all of them.
FIERCE.


He said they were and signed and also asked about the HOB.
This was getting upsetting... lol.
He also asked about HOB I believe and we told him we had to get back bc we were from Syracuse, NY.
That turned into a conversation about the hefty 8 hour drive, to fall tour hopefully with Syracuse on that list, to hopefully close, before we kind of ended the convo and had make a second round with the boys for Michael's autograph, and then Caity to get her autographs as we [or at least I got hugs]...
Al went in early for her David Archuleta VIP Package, so she got to meet him, with a very disappointing picture, and 8th row seat.
...
Lol.
And he did a really good job.
During and after the show actually , Ryan had a few drinks so by the end he was a little tipsy.
Had to hold him up a little too.
And me and Al were pushed and it became too much so we left early.
Then we moved on to Drew, who was also a sweetheart.
We had to re-locate Unique and Chris who were being madd stalker-ish watching us as they were on the ferris wheel. Lol.
JUNE 5TH:
We got there [apparently just after Chad Michael Murray passed by across the street... or at least we think?] and waited with a few fans, young and older as we waited for any news of them to show up.
As soon as they came out, Kevin went right to our side and the other boys started at the other end.
Niiiiice. [Such an idiot.]
So he came up and when he saw it all rolled up, he said "Sign this for you?" and he bagan to write "N..." before I was like "No no it's FOR you".
And I did it. MY FIRST PICTURE WITH A JONAS BROTHER!!
Then we walked arund for a bit before finally re-locating the car and driving out of the city.
