i woke up w/ a hoarse voice! my allergies came back saturday nite at the mellencamp show, i was sneezing like crazy! i think it's part of that and kinda my screaming, i only cheered after every song! geesh! we left at 6am lol so my friend can go to her college classes...blah blah blah..got my other friend, went to their hotel here..about an hour or so later, nick came walking into the lobby! he went shopping somewhere, he did in stl too. then i had to go get my friend from school at 3:30, i was soo worried about missing bsb at the hotel!! finally, an hour later or so, we go back to the hotel and there was KEVIN standing by his bus door, signing and getting pics! AHH!! i got a huggie from him too, a lot of ppl got hugs lol then that was the last bsb, once again, missed brian!!!! :*( i heard he just walked to his bus, just waved...weird...anyways, i got to see 4 out of them in person!! we go eat..blah...get to the venue, blah, got to our seats and the mini stage was right there in front of us!! AHH!! that was like the best show i've been too!! when they were on that lil stage, going to have GREAT pics of that!! but my friends and i were trying to wave at kev & bri..kev recognized us and waved!! aww! then brian finally looked over and he waved!!! omg, me and my friend were jumping up and down lol brian was watching us do that!! LOL! then a lil later, we waved again and he saw us, he blew us kisses!! Aww!!!!! that made up from missing him at the hotels!!! i wish we could've worn our healthy heart for kids shirt, but didnt..he pointed to a girl w/ that shirt on and he was like giving them thumbs up. between sisqo & bsb, i thought i saw leighanne!! but it wasn't her..cuz..after the show, we snucked down to the floor to find leighanne, but instead we found kristin!! got her auto and got a pic of her..i asked her if leighanne was able to come out, she said leigh wasn't there! :( but kristin was sooo nice!!!!!! howie went to a club here, too, it's $16 to get in, that goes to lupus of course, but we were too tired to go it. hope you enjoyed my two reviews and i'm still in shock that i've met 4 out of 5!!! they're all sooo great in person than on tv/paper/posters!! pictures does NOT do them justice at all!! ahh!! i'll never forget those moments, i was pretty lucky, cuz this was my 1st bsb hotel hunting!! it's just a big dream of mine to come true only when you've been a fan for about 4 years!!! :) ~ gretch ~ see pics
