¬ indianapolis, indiana - 1.30.98
First of all this is a long story so I'll try to make it as short as possible. Enjoy!!!!!
I went to the Backstreet Boys concert on January 30, 1998. What was really special about this tour was it was their home-coming tour. I got the concert tickets from my mom for my birthday. I went with my mom, sister, friend, and my neighbor and her mom. I sat in 2nd row with my sister, neighbor, and her mom. My mom and other friend sat in the balcany. Well we had great seats and what made it even cooler was that the place that they
had the concert was kinda small so I was right next to the stage well I was touching it and right next to the speakers. I made sure to get the outside seat so I had a chance at touching them.
Well first we all went to dinner, which I was so excited I couldn't eat! I'm like oh my god! Can you believe we're actually going to see the them!?! Then we headed for the concert and my neighbors mom was like, " Now you girls will have to show me who's who." And at one point she called them the Bakery Boys. Don't ask! Anyway, we headed for downtown Indianapolis and
some how kinda got lost. Then we finally found the Murat Theater and parked and started walking down to the theater. My friend was excited, even though she had to sit in the balcany and I got to sit upfront. She was like "Can you believe we're gonna see the Spice Boys?" I'm like "Spice Boys?!!" Backstreet Boys!!!!! Then she sees a guy who looks like Brian and says, "There's Brian!" I'm like that's not him though he does look kinda like him. There's only one B-Rok!!!!! Later I find out that he looks like Brian cause its his brother! So we were kinda nervous and I hyperventilated. My mom was like, " Calm down!" So we gave them our tickets and the bsb stuff.
I got some shirts, necklace, keychains, book,ski-hat, ect. So then my mom and my friend headed for the stairs to go get to their balcany seats. And me, my sister, neighbor and her mom headed for front row. So then we were trying to get to our seats and there was this guy standing at the doorway to the seats, and I thought he was a security guard so I'm like, " Don't worry, you don't have to search me, I forgot my camera at home along with
my stuff for the guys." He's like o.k. but I'm not a guard. So I started talking to him and he was kinda freaky looking, his hair was dyed red, divided into 3 ponytails 1 stuck straight up, the other 2 stuck straight out, and he had tons of body peircings, like 7 earrings in one eyebrow. But he was way kool. So after like 10 minutes he's like, " Well its been nice talking to ya, even though you made fun of me!" I'm like I'm so sorry! You
see before I said to my friends mom that guys kinda freaky looking, and I guess he heard me.
Then we got to our seats and I was totally freaking out. Then after like 15 min. MA$E, the rapper who sings with Puff Daddy came out. I got to touch his hand. He sang 1 song, "Feels So Good," then was like are you ready for my homeboys?! And everyone went nuts, including me, I was screaming and crying. You know how you see people crying at concerts on t.v. sometimes well it happens! Then he introduced Los Umbros, (something like that), and they sang 4-ever, and they sang in Spanish so it was kinda hard to understand even by the speakers! They got done singing and then one of the two girls said, "You know, there are 5 really hot guys backstage, do you wanna see them?!" Everyone started screaming. Then they left and then had a 30-40 min. intermission type thing. Well it wasn't that bad because at the angle I was sitting from I could see a little bit backstage and like no one else could, cause the seats were weird, and I was just talking to my friend and I turned my head for a second and I'm like, "No way! I did not just see Nick Carter walk by!" So then I look again and sure enough there's sweetie Nick sticking his head out a little bit behind the corner of backstage that didn't have a curtain and no one saw him except me, that or they didn't saw anything. Ya right! So I waved and said "I love you Nick!" And I didn't think he would acknowledge me but he waved at me and blew me a kiss, *S*. I turned to my friend, "You're not going to believe this!" Cause she wasn't paying any attention. So I told her to come over and look for one of them to walk by like Nick. And she came over by me and like 4 min. later he walked by and he waved and blew me another kiss and then he kept walking by and waving. Then my friend who is weird said, "I think Nick likes you!" I'm like I'm sure! Then later I saw Brians feet. And I knew it was Bri, he's my favorite! And I'm like look its Brian! And everyone started chanting bsb, bsb, bsb, I started it in my row.
Then later a guy came on testing the speakers along with people asking us to throw whatever we brought for the guys up. Then they gave the stuff to the guys and from where I was sitting I could see Howie and A.J. holding teady bears. At one point I started talking to a little kid a coulpe rows behind me, I ran into him earlier, well come to find out that its Aaron Carter, Nicks little brother! ~KOOL OR WHAT!~ I knew he looked familiar but didn't relize it until a girl in front of me said " Do you know who your talking to?" I'm like no. She's like thats Aaron Carter." I'm like Oh my gosh! The guy that was sitting next to
Aaron looked was the guy who we thought earlier looked kinda like Brian, Duh! It was his brother! I'm like this is to good to be true, Brians bro is sitting right behind me. And he was wearing a blue Kentcky Wildcats hat. You know like the one Bri always wears.Then MA$E came back out asking people like which guy are you really hear to see? He even asked me, I'm like "Brian!!!!!" Then the lights went off and he says, "Well you know the
guys really wanna come out but they won't cause they wanna hear you make some noise!" And everyone is screaming and I was crying and shaking really bad, my moms friend asked me " Are you alright?" I'm like no! Then he's like here are my homeboys the Backstreet Boys!!!!!
Give it up, Give it up!!!!! Then 3 really loud booms came then the music blared out along with all the screaming and then they started singing.Then they raised the curtain and the boys looked totally hot in brightly colored outfits, Brians was yellow, he was also wearing a nike ski-hat, nike gloves, Nicks was white, Howies was red, A.J.s was blue, and Kevins was black. The first song they sang was kinda like a whole bunch of songs rolled into one. Brian came over and I briefly got to touch his hand. But I did make eye contact, it helps if you know their dances! Then Nick came over smiling at me. Nick was mostly on our side along with A.J. and Brian (left side), and Howie and Kevin were mostly one the right side. Then Kevin came over and I didn't touch his hand but I mad eye contact and said, "I Luv You Kevin!" And he
smiled and said, " Hi how ya doing?" (how sweet!). Then after that they changed into white silk outfits, came out one at a time introducing themselves. When Brian came out he was being funny, acting like he was tripping over his chair and started talking to us, " You know Indiana, my hometowns not to far from here. You guys have a pretty good basketball team. The Pacers are doing better this year." Then he says, " Well I want to thank you all for coming and also for my dad and brother for coming, my
brother is sitting right over there. Oh, he's gonna kill me after the show! ( laughs). Then they said this has been one of their favorite audiences " coolest". Later on I got to touch A.J.s hand. I didn't get to touch Howie's hand but I did make eye contact with him before they sang, "I'll Never Break Your Heart," they asked for a couple of ladies to help them onstage, (dance with Nick, Howie, & Kevin), and Howie looked at me then to the guard then the guard shook his head cause he picked someone else to dance with Howie. Uhhhh!!!!!
Then later on when it was quieter (which was rare), I stood on top of my chair when Brian was right in front of me and screamed, " I love you Brian!!!!!" my friend in the balcany heard me and was so jealous because Brian looked right at me, smiled, waved, and blew me a kiss, *S*! I'm like no way! My friend and her mom was like he's talking to you! Nick was really funny to. I was like screaming for Brian and sticking my hands out to him and Nick started copying me! I was thinking move Nick I can't see
Brian! Oh, one time during a song Brian put his feet on a table and the table leg broke off and it wasn't suppose to, so he was trying to fix it and sing at the same time. His guard was by me and he said, " How many times do I have to tell that kid, keep your feet off the table!" Then he got on stage to help Brian then Brian looked at me smiled and told the guard, "Don't worry, I got it!" Kevin's mic. wasn't working so he kept running of the stage and the guard ran to the rescue! And A.J. would run over to get a drink from his water bottle which was sitting inside this black shelf next to me. After he was done taking a drink of water he threw his cap on the floor and the guard was like A.J. "Don't throw it on the floor." I think he was in a bad mood, its not like A.J. had time to put it back on! When the concert was about over A.J. gave then girl near me a drum stick, threw a towl into the audience, and Nick took his water and dumped some of it on his head and shook his head at the us and got us wet,**** didn't bother me!**** Then he threw it to the audience.
Oh you want believe this! Remember the freaky guy that I was talking to, well when they were introducing their band he turned out to be their drummer/sax player! I talked to him after the concert to! I also bumped right into Brians brother! He was with his girlfriend.Well I could go on 4-ever talking about this but one mre thing, the day afetr the concert they were on Rick Dee's
weekly Top 40's and you could call in and talk to them so I did and on the 9th time I got through and they answered! I got so excited I accidently hung up! STUPID!!!!!! I already have tickets to their concert July 23 so until then.
