My name is Amy and I live in Brooklyn New York
City. I've seen The Barrio Boyzz a whole bunch of
times, but I don't know how many. I lost count at
around 25 and that was a few years ago. One of the
best (if not THE best) show I went to was PREMIOS LO
NUESTRO in Manhattan on November 30, 1997. The place
was soooo ghetto and there were like NO fans there.
The Barrio Boyzz were late (as usual). We went up to
them and said hi. Hans was wearing a suit and looked
FINE except for the fact that he had blonde hair at
the time. Well that day since my friends and I were
the only fans there, they were giving us SO much
attention. David had never given my any attention
before EVER! That night he was prctically following
me around and we talked the WHOLE NIGHT. We excahnged
phone #'s and have been friends ever since.
ok....first Im from Puerto Rico and my english is
really bad! So, however...It was, Gosh, like four
years ago...They came to PR to present How We Roll,
and they were at the Show de las Doce...And I know
God make this possible...there was NO fans! There was
only my friends and me...like 12 persons as
much....so...this day was Dave's Birthday, and my
best friend brought a gift for him....So...they made
the interview and do their show...I was WOW! no
words! I was so close, that I could see Hans
lunar...Then...the Program ends and they were
preparing to leave the studio...and One of my friends
ask to a bodygard if he could call Dave so Tary could
say hi and give him the gift...and...they came
out....and I was totally parallized...not a blink...
I saw Louie coming to me....And I said: Oh my God!
And he gave the most beutiful smile I've ever
seen....so...I was holding a Card for him...and it
says "Para: Louie" And he told me: "I don't have a
pen" and I was speachless...not a
move...nothing....then my sister was passing by and
say.."Nene, si es pa ti.." and then he take it...And
hug me, and kiss me....And Oh My God! I still
remembered as it was yesterday....Ah...
PS=Sorry if I mispell words or the sentences doesn't
have sence....
The other day I was looking for a freind in the Bronx
and I bumped into HANS GIRALDO with his girlfriend!!!
EEEEW. Well she is pretty and I have no interest in
Hans but what kind of fan would I be if I didn't hate
her? Well he looked really good and said hi to me and
then he cashed a check. I saw him again a few hours
later walking to I don't know where but he didn't see
me. (I agree with
ya...EEWWW! I can't believe Hans is cheating on me
again. j/k hehe luv, Julie)
One of the last time I saw The Barrio Boyzz was
REALLY funny. It was at the 116th Steet Festival in
New York City. They sang 2 songs and left and then
all the girls were screaming "otra, otra!" so they
came back and sang another song. After they were
going to another stage but get this, they didn't have
a car with them. They had to run 6 blocks ON FOOT and
with a whole bunch of girls running after them. As we
ran, more girls joined the "parade". We had to run
through a building where people lived!! It was
HYSTERICAL!!!!! They finally made it to the stage but
it was a close call.
(LOL!! I would have been
laughing so hard I wouldn't have been able to run!
Wish I could have been there.)
I've been a fan of the boyzz for 5 years and this year I finally got to meet them on June 19, 1999! I met them in The Bronx. They were doing a free show on a stage in the street(it was part of this annual thing for kids)! We didn't even know they were gonna be there until our aunt told us the day before. I bought film and batteries for my camara cause I thought, maybe I can take pictures of them performing! Well, the show was at 3:30pm and my cousin and I got there around like 12:00pm and we didn't know where the stage was, so we walked around for like for 2 hours, looking and we didn't find anything. We ask around and people were like yea, but I dunno were! Until finally at around 2:30 this lady came up to us and said the Barrio Boyzz are gonna be performing and we were like where and she told us and we walked down until we found the stage! Ok, well then we waited around for a while,(we were so bored we sat on the street crub ewwww), there were alot of girls there! waiting, too! So then around like 3:15 a car pulled up behind the stage, this girl told me they were there! So we walked over and looked and we saw Nes, Robert, and David! My cousin start crying! OMG, I thought I was gonna faint! Then Hans and Jeff came out! Alot of girls were already talking to them and getting autographs! He came up to were we where and gave me this card with their picture and then went back! Me and my cuz got the courage to walk up to were the where. David was standing a couple of inches away from us so I got brave and called his name! He looked at us and my cuz asked him if he could come over to us and he did! I was so nervous but I told him to sign the card he gave me! He signed it David w/ Love! Then my cuz said can you take a picture with us! He said sure and one of my friends took the picture for us, then my cuz told him to smile and took a picture of him alone!! We said thank you and he said no problem! Then we went up to Hans and I told him to sign my card and he did! We asked for a picture with him and he said yea, but he looked mad so I told him to Act like he wanted to be with us cause he looked mad, he said "I'm not mad it's just that the sun is in my face", and he smiled and said "Ya Know me"! So we took a picture of him alone smiling for us and then took a picture with him, he gave us each a kiss on the cheek! We took pictures with the 3 new guys, they were cool!! Especially Jeff, we had a mini convo with him about them performing! Then we made our way to the front of the stage and they came on and sung like 5 songs! I Knew every word to them and I sung along with them and David noticed and grabbed my hand and started singing to me! I couldn't believe it! This girl was bugging out, she ran up to the stage and jumped Hans, he almost fell! It was so funny! After the performance they left and a whole bunch of people started running after them and they had to be quick and get into there car! We went around the back and knocked on the car window and Hans and David turned around and waved and blow kisses at us! Then the car drove away! That was a day I will never forget! So not only do I have my memory I have the great pictures me and my cuz took with them!
On April 4th 1996, it was Latin Night at The Ringling Brother and Barnum and Bailey Circus at Madison Square Garden here in NYC. We had alright seats. but right before the circus was going to start, we spotted closer ones that were empty. We decided to move up and if someone sat there we'd move back. We had to go around in order to get to the saets, which meant going up and back a little. My friend was in front of me and all of a sudden she started running. I was confused until I saw Louie and Hans walking holding popcorn and soda. Turns out they were sitting IN THE AUDIENCE! We made such a scene that for the whole thing girls were going over there and bothering them. (oops) After the show (which was like 4 or 5 songs) all the fans were outside waiting. The Barrio Boyzz came running in choo choo train style out of the building into this parking lot. Hans and Louie were at the end and got separated. They were surrounded by fans and looked GENUINELY afraid. It looked like something out of a movie. Well this guy opened a door and started yelling "go go go!" and they ran. They all left but we and a few other girls stayed and talked and then Louie and Hans came back!!! We got to chill with them for like an hour!! It was really a wonderful night!!!!
