Hi, my name is Gloria,
and I had the best OTOWN experience! First, I saw OTOWN in concert in the
Manhattan Mall in NYC. I woke up at 5:00 in the morning hyped up and ready
to go. We took the train into the city and I was worried about the crowed
and being late cuz only 900 people were going to be let in. So, my friend
and I make it to the mall at 6:30. The show doesn't start until 12 noon,
so we figured that we would have great spots and lots of time to spare.
Well, there were about 35 people already there waiting and it was getting
crowded fast. It was very cool and very early but we still waited on line.
By 10:30 the first OTOWN sighting had happened up front by the entrance.
Girls were screaming and going crazy! I was so excited but there was still
2 and 1/2 hours left to wait. During that time, it was very frustrating
cuz of the sun and heat (it was in mid August) and the crowd was huge.
By the time we get inside my friend and I had scored spots right next to
the stage on the left! When the show started OTOWN immediately started
coming to our side of the stage! Then they kept saying how they felt the
love from us! It was so cool, then it happened! On "All for love" Ashley
came over and started smiling at me! Then for "Baby I would" he came back
over, knelt down, and sang to me! But the best parts were when Erik threw
his towel at me and Trevor sang and danced while looking at me and laughing
cuz I was joking around with him and dancing. That afternoon was the best
although I did wait for 6 hours on my feet, was starving, and kept getting
pushed and shoved. I would do it all over again. In fact, I did! With another
friend and fellow OTOWN fanatic, Joanna. We ended up leaving for the record
store too late and we were hoping to get in and get our things autographed.
My mother had played games with me and told me I could go to the signing
10 mins before it started! My friend and I ran and focused solely on getting
there. Well, we did get there at 6:30 and the signing was to end at 7.
Then the worst thing happened, we were so tired then we found out the 300
wrist bands had already been given out and there weren't anymore. Luckily
my friend, Joanna, began to cry and the guy at the door felt bad so he
let us in! We were so happy and the guys looked so hott! All of a sudden
this weird thing happens. I start crying like crazy but then Joanna stops
me, She starts crying right there on line in front of Dan but then stops.
The best and worst part about this crying game, was when I got in front
of Ashley (who is my fav and I love to death!) I start crying uncontrollably!
Joanna finally tells Ashley on my behalf, that I am a HUGE fan. So, he
took my hand, asked me for my name and said that he hoped I enjoyed the
CD and that he was glad I came. That was the best moment of my life! I
walked outside after that and screamed extremely loud. So, with in the
period of 1 year I have met Ashley and seen them in concert! I can't wait
until it happens again! Thanks for listening to my OTOWN experience!
