¬ washington, dc - 9.18.99




k, I went to my first BSB concert on September 18, at the MCI Center. I live up in Baltimore, so we left around 5:00 because it would take us a while to get there. On the way we got lost and I won't go into detail. Finallly we got there. We paid like $20 to park, and we made out way to the MCI Canter. As soon as it was in view, I heard screaming so I ran ahead. I saw a group of about 20 girls by a large bus. It was the Backstreet Tour Bus! I pushed myself to run faster and I managed to get there in time to see Kevin and A.J. I think A.J. waved at me, but it could of always been ment for the girl behind me. After the tour bus was gone, we went towards the entrance and waited about 15 minutes until the door opened. Once we were inside, it took 30 minutes for them to check our tickets. We took the elevator all the way up (I had last row seats), and I staked out my seats. I realized that the seats weren't that bad, and that with my binoculars, I'd be able to see their faces. I went out and got a coke and a really cool shirt. I got back just as EYC was coming on. It was pretty bad. The bass was so high that I couldn't hear a word they were saying. Finally they were off the stage and there was the usual BSB chants and a few rounds of the wave. While all this was going on, a little black box cought my attention. The whole time I was looking in that box, and a few times I think I saw Nick or A.J. Each time I told my dad, but he was like yeah, sure. The the lights dimmed and the Star Wars theme came on. The boys were flying on snowboards. And guess where they flew out of, The little black box. For once, high seats come in handy! They sang Larger then Life, The ONE, That's The WAy I like and several others that I just don't rember. During Larger then Life, Nick walked up to the gaterist, and as he was stepping down, he tripped and fell! He got right back up and continued singing! The whole time i was singing, and dancing, and screaming. Finally they sang I want it that way and the concert was over, just like that. I didn't want to got, it had all gone so fast. We got all these little cool handouts.Then we left, and my parents had to drang me out. I just didn't want to leave. That was my fisrt concert, and one that I'll never forget. Thanks, Katelynn
