Hey! My name is Courtney
and this is my O-Town Experience! On January 26, my friend and I were watching
MUCH Music and a commercial came on saying that the next week O-Town were
gonna be there for a Live @ MUCH! Seeing as I am obsessed and totally in
love with O-Town, I convinced my friends to come with me to Toronto to
see them! Neither of my friends are really big O-Town fans, but like a
million other people, they think they are amazingly hot! Lucky for us,
it was exam week and none of us had exams on the 31st, the day O-Town was
there. We woke up at 5 am, took the GO Train to the subway
station, and took the subway to my friend’s aunt’s house in Toronto to
get her sister. This little set back made us get down to Much Music around
9:00 when I wanted to be there at 7:00. Oh well! It’s ok because it was
cold out, but warm for January! Anyway, we spent hours standing in line
and I am very sociable so I made friends with absolutely everyone in line
near us! Everyone around us was getting hungry and my friends and I were
the only ones who were smart enough to bring food (we had tons) so we shared
and talked about O-Town. By 2:00, we had been standing in line outside
the Chum City Building for hours and I had to go to the bathroom! I had
been avoiding leaving line all day and I had major bad luck because when
I get back everyone yelled at me for missing the boys drive by in a limo!
Apparently they got out and everyone ran down the street after them so
they all jumped back in and Ashley had to get in while it was moving! Anyway,
the MUCH VJs started coming out side and talking to us. There is
a segment called Rapid Fax that is done right in front of the window we
were behind and my friends and I ended up being on TV for the entire thing!
Now for the good part, O-Town was supposed to come at 4:00. Around
3:00 my friends and I were all looking in the windows which are tinted
do it’s really hard to see inside, and at the same time we see five guys
upstairs. It was kind of like looking at shadows but I could still tell
it was them so I suddenly screamed at the top of my lungs "OH MY GOD! I
SEE O-TOWN! For about five seconds I could hear everyone around me going
"what where are they?!" and I just stood there screaming and the screams
got louder and louder as people saw them! It was so great! I was so proud
cuz I started the screaming LOL! We could kind of see the boys inside stretching
and suddenly Trevor just shows up in the window right in front of me!!
He waved to the crowd and had his excited look on his face! The one he
gets when he realizes this is all really for him!! It was so cute! I felt
like I was gonna die! He was directly in front of me (the line was about
the width of a sidewalk away from the window) and Trevor looked right at
me! It was the greatest!!! Soon, the security guards moved us to the front
of the building where the window goes out to the stage that they come onto
the meet the fans outside. We didn’t have wristband passes so we had to
stand there for an hour squished between 1000 other people! The security
guards kept telling everyone to walk and let us in 1 at a time and my friends
sister and I ran by them so we got separated from my other two friends
but it was worth it cuz we ended up being in the 3rd row (if you can call
it a row-everyone was so squished together) and the live act started. It
was kinda hard to see cuz there was a crowd inside but there was a TV screen
showing us exactly what was happening! We all started screaming come out
side and pretty soon they did! The first person I saw was Ashley! He was
so close to me that I could see the eye makeup he had to wear! It was amazing
and suddenly Erik was right behind him! My friends sister and I wanted
to throw something to them, but the only stuff we had was food and my other
friends had gotten separated from us but they had the chocolate Hershey’s
Kisses we wanted to throw (later we found out from them that they were
throwing the Kisses and two hit Dan—it’s really funny cuz we were watching
it on TV and saw one hit Dan and he jumps back! It’s really cute) Trevor
and Dan came over to the side of he stage we were at and were leaning over
trying to touch everyone and Trevor’s hand was 2 centimeters from my hand
(he was looking right at me again actually trying to touch me) and the
security guard pulled him back and gave him and Dan a quick lecture about
leaning over too far! Jacob came over soon and it was cool and they went
back inside to do more performing and interview! Anyway, that was the fastest
hour of my life cuz the next thing I knew they were coming out to "say
good bye to the people outside" and they all started grabbing peoples hands
and for the closing of the show they showed the Liquid Dreams video and
Jacob who was right in front of me stared singing and dancing along with
the video! It was REALLY hot! All the boys were really hot and trying to
touch everyone they could but after a few mins the security started clearing
us out! It was great tho cuz the boys had been so close to us and they
are so cute! I wish I could have met them, but there’s always next time
they’re in Toronto!
