september 15,2000- i have been a ds fan since june 2000. so in sept i heard they were going to go to roosevelt field mall in garden city. i wanted to go just cuz they are hott! my dad and i got there just as they started to perform. i watched tehm and they did a good job (as always). then we went to the meet & greet. i had my dad tell them all to smile cuz i don't like being in charge of the camera. the order was chris,matt,frankie,jesse and greg. at that time jesse was my fav. greg was standing up and he said hi. they seemed very shy. chris asked what my name was so he can write to whoever. dream was also there but i didn't know until a week later so i missed them but that's ok cuz that day started an obession that will last for (hopefully) years to come.
April 27,2001- through a letter in the mail (a postcard with ds on it yay!) i found out that ds was going to be at the world on april 27,2001. tickets were only $25 each but it was general addmission and i wasn't allowed to go early cuz i didn't have a HUGE obession yet so i still went to school and i left after 4th period which i thik was a waste. i got to the place at 1 pm and doors didn't open until 6 and ds didn't come on until 8:30. after they got there greg and chris walked up and down the line but the others wouldn't do it :( finally the doors open and the fans were let down 5 by 5. i got between 2 and 3 row. my pics came out bad but its ok. after the show the did a signing but i had already left :( the also had to cut the line cuz things got outta control.
June 1, 2001- at the show on april 27 i found out that ds was going to perfrom at Z100's Zootopia Trend fest. i got a ride from my grandmother but then my mom came and after school timee my sister came and later my father. anyway...m grandmother and i got at Nassau Coliseum at 8:30 am only to find out we couldn't go to the stage until noon so we walked around the hotel next door to see a few tour buses but knowing ds doesn't take a tour bus i didn't make a big deal. we waited until we were let in and got meet & greet passes (you got to choose who you wanted to meet). i walked to the stage and got front row which was great for my plan (to get greg's ds shirt...i had made a sign asking for it). i waited and made some friends there too. (while waiting my firend and i see a fimilar face..it was starr andreff (no authority's manager)) finally it was show time. the performance was great and this time i got great pics. they sang i say yeah,sugar rush,hooked on you,feel the rain and it happens every time. durning feel the rain i was scared cuz thats the song wiht gregs shirt. first he came to my side and he went to the other side. when he did that my heart dropped cuz i wanted it really bad. the he came back and threw the shirt in my direction but 2 other girls got hold but i wasn't letting go so i missed the last song. but in the end i got the shirt. the meet & greet was good but the stupid guards kept on pushing people so i almost missed chris and frankie but i pushed back and got to meet them.
July 10,2001- the day of the album release i went to the cbs early show to see ds but that was nothing good though i did get 2 free posters which i bought another one in a store juts so they would make more money. after cbs me, my sister lisa and her pal joanna took a taxi to the new fye on 54 & 6. the signing started at noon and ended at 2. when they got there jesse gave a hug to a little girl so i asked for one too and i got one so i ran back to joanna crying (cuz lisa was taking pics of then going in) finally we got in and we were talking to a guy from radio disney and we had to guess how old he was and i said 47 and i was right (he was cute for a 47 year old!) the order was matt,jesse,frankie,chris, and greg. chris said he liked my hair (cuz i beaded it) and i asked greg for a hug. within 30 mins they were almost done with the line so we got back on again so i could get pics with them. we went back on again and chris remembered me from like 10 mins. cute info about ds-the like to walk. they walked to cbs and to fye and then they took taxi's...how cute??
July 11,2001-  i went to bayshore mall for ds also but i didn't get there until about 2 with lisa and joanna. we went inside fye and looked at the line and i bought the new aaron carter video. we had to but the ds cd to get on the line or get on the non-cd holder's line. we weren't gonna buy a new cd so we left and went shopping and had some food. the we just decided to wait on the non-cd holders line and we talked to shawn (lisa and joanna's manager). finally the guys arrived and lisa and joanna followed them into the mall with jo's video camera for me and they had them say hi to me. we just watched them cuz they couldn't start wiht out jesse. within 30 min. jesse had arrived and it started. we waited until almost everyone was done but they weren't gonna do the non-cd holders line so lisa bought another cd and we were last on line cuz i wanted to be so i can ask for a group pic...i annoyed their body guard (who is really scary!!!) and he told me to go behind the table. i was holding th chris doll that i had made and one of the producers took it and held next to chris andlisa took a pic and then he turned around and gave me a hug. we were talking for a bit and he put his arm around me and said i was such a great fan (cuz he saw my hair and it said the members names). everyone was around me (claudia, the producers, greg,chris and i think frankies mom) and they were all talking about my pants (yellow ufo's, like frankie, my hair and the 'voo-doo' chris doll). then i started crying so chris held me then greg gave me a hug. then we posed for the group pic and it was jesse,chris,me,greg,frankie and matt. jesse kept on looking at me. after the pic greg and chris said 'group hug' so we all hugged and i started crying again so greg was holding me. they all signed my shirt (that i got at zootopia). we went to lisa'a car and we were parked across form greg. the guy next to me was motioning for greg to blow me a kiss so he did.
July 17,2001-  i saw ds on july 17 in nj which was 2 hours away and 29.4 miles away but i made it there with lisa,joanna and my parents. we got there at 1:30 and it started at 3 but when we got there they were doing sound check and we got scared but then someone said it was sound check. we went down to the sound and stood behind the stage and chris rememebered me.then they left and got ready to perform. they sang i say yea,sugar rush,they don't understand,feel the rain and it happens every time. durning feel the rain greg did the shirt thing and went into the crowd and all these girls were all over hime to try to get it but he threw it over his head all the way to the back of the crowd. very funny! then they did a signing. it was amtt,greg,jesse,frankie and chris. i had made doll of the rest of the guys since i already had one of chris and i had them sign it. jesse asked frankie if it looked like him and frankie and him were laughing. frankie gave me a hug and since i had nothing for chris to sign i just asked for a hug cuz he gives very good hugs.. when i was in front of jesse greg took out the doll i made him and played with it. then i just watched and waited for them to finish. while i was waiting frankie took his doll out of the bag and played with it so i freaked out. it was quite cute. i can't wait for ds to come back!!
August 19,2001-let's start it this way...well frankie has yellow UFO pants right? well he does in case you don't know so i bought a pair cuz i thought they were kick booty pants and everytime i see ds i wear them to see if he will wear them cuz 2 times in a row i saw them he was wearing them so i wore them today and he was wearing them!!! ahhhh!!!!!...i was near his mom backstage (we snuck back there cuz we had 'crew passes' and those don't work for where ds was but thats ok) and my mom said she pointed to me but i was like okkkk...well i went on the autograph line and it was chris.frankie,jesse,greg and matt...well i didn't talk to chris cuz he was talking to frankies mom so i went to frankie and i was like 'your ufo's are the best im wearing mine' and he was like 'really? coool'..so them his mom was like 'yea i saw you before and i had said to someone (i don't know who she said) that someone was wearing the same pants' then my sis was like 'she bought threm cuz he has them' and i moved on to jesse but he wasn't paying attention so he signed it and i went on to greg...he saw what i had to get signed and said 'I remember you...you were the last girl' and i was like 'yup' and you have no idea on how bad i wanted to ask him for a hug right then and there but no one else got a hug so i don't know if no one asked or they weren't allowed so i didn't...then matt was talking to some little boy so i didn't say anything... then i left and later i went back (they were suppose to sign from 2:45 to 3 but they signed from like 2:50 to like 5:10)..so i watched with my friend and we were standing by greg and matt and greg had a little boy on his lap and i thought it was jesses brother timmy but i wasn't sure but i took a pic anyway (i *so* hope it comes out!!!) but then later some girls were by the tables abd the little boy was there and they called him timmy so it was jesses bro so i took 2 pics and he was eating a blue blow pop and his mouth,tounge and teeth were blue..then someone asked him if jesse hits him so he knodded his head..the mr. mccartney was like 'does jesse really hit you?' and he knodded his head again and everyone went 'awwwww'...it was too cute!!!! then we went backstage again and i got a pic with greg and thats really it...
