MCI Center in Washington, D.C.
February 2nd, 2001
~~Ok can i start out by saying "holy s*@# !!!" First of all me and my friend Paul drove 4hrs from NJ to go to this show. But we had 3rd row seats so it made it all worth it.
Ok so we get to the venue at like 7:00. The elevators were so damn crowded that we took some other elevator which was way back in some little corner of the place...oops, heehee. We told the guy in the elevator we didn't no where to go so he took us down to the main floor and said "when you get out of the elevator, make a left." So we did(and little did we know, going left leads to their dressing room...hey we just went where the guy told us to, heehee), so then we see a woman security guard sitting there, so we asked her where to go. She said she didn't know and that she wasnt allowed to leave her post. She said "I know your supposed to go that way," and pointed straight ahead. Then she said "because that's their dressing room right there." I was like "OH MY GAWD!!!" She said "wait here and let me have someone come and help you guys find your seats, and maybe by the time she comes you'll get to see the BSB if they come out of their room." I started freakin. Then we see the Meet And Greet room. And people started to pile up into that room. Those lucky son of a b#@!*%$. And then she said "I should just let you go in with them(to the Meet And Greet)." But another guard nearby said that the guards in the Meet And Greet room aren't gonna let us in without passes. And I was like "DAMN!" Then the woman guard asked me who my favorite BSB was, and I was like "Nick!"
Anyway, so the "escort" finally comes and takes us to our seats. And halfway to our seats the lights go out and I was like "Ahhh I can't see!" Ok so we finally make our way to our seats. Then we notice that there's a big space between 1st and 3rd row because the 2nd row had about 6 seats missing right in front of us. So we moved our seats up into the empty space. So now we're in 2nd row! Wooo hooo! Then Krystal Harris comes out after they show a clip on the big screen of Kevin talking about her. She sings a few songs, and the last song she sings is Jackson Five's "I'll Be There."
While waiting for the BSB to come on I saw Obie Morant. He kept walking by me. I think he was helping out with stuff, cause he kept going backstage and coming back out again. Then he was doing something near the stage. It was so cool to see him. I was so sad when he left the BSB Band, he was my favorite.
At about 8:30, on the screen, they start showing the world spinning and meteors coming down and hitting the earth, and every time a meteor hit, a pyro went off. Then BSB finally come "blasting out" with tons of pyro. And let me tell you, every time a pyro went off I could feel the heat on my face, woh! It was cool though. The first one scared the crap outta me, hahaha. Anyway, after standing still for a few minutes, they start off with these cool dance moves and then they start singing "Everyone." I don't really remember the order in which the rest of the songs were sang, all I remember is that "Everyone" was first and "Shape Of My Heart" was last. They were also taping our show for a TV special in Germany. There were cameras connected to really long poles that moved around filming the audience and the BSB.
Ok so here comes the highlight of my night. I don't remember who waved at me first but I think it was Kevin. Not sure. He started waving at me and I started waving back. He's still looking at me and then he smiles. And I'm still waving, so he waves at me again. I was sooo excited! Then I think AJ was next. As he was walking by he looks over at me cause I'm waving at him, he points at me and smiles. Now Brian might have been next but he waved at me several times during the show, and was the last person to wave at me, so Brian was probably next...I really don't know but it doesn't matter. But let's just say Nick was next. Ok. So Nick and the rest of them are right in front me. And I'm trying to get Nick's attention cause ya know, he's my honey...heehee. Anyway I finally get his attention. So he looks at me and I'm waving and smiling from ear to ear. So he starts waving at me and then he looks down at his tattoo, I dunno maybe he had an itch or something, but then he looks at me again cause I'm still waving at him, so he waves at me again(woo hoo mission accomplished!). Now Brian waved at me several times all through the show, I don't remember how many times. But the last time he waved at me was during "Shape Of My Heart," during Nick's part I think, because he wasn't singing. He was standing right in front of me looking at something way up in the audience, maybe a poster or something, who knows. Anyway, so he's making a funny face at whatever he's looking at, so I start laughing and he happens to look over at me while I'm laughing, and then he starts laughing. Then he puts his arms up in the air and makes a cute face(while looking at me), then he starts laughing again, then I start laughing again, and we're both just laughing. Then he waves at me and walks away. You rock Brok! They all waved at me except Howie. Oh well, that's ok. Then a few minutes later, they take a bow and the show is over.
You rock BSB! Thank you for making 2/2/01 the best night of my life! ~~
