My BSB Experience
September 3, 1998
Ok so this is an abbreviated version of my BSB concert experience. I think Raquel opened first ...I'm not sure of her name, some guy group from Boston, LPO (??) also opened and cute little Aaron Carter. He was the best opener. It was fun! He has two dancers: Daryll and Keith. The cutest thing was when he sang "Aint That Cute" (that B-rok and Nick wrote). They brought up this little girl on stage...like Aaron's age, and he walked around stage with her, sang to her and stuff. It was cute.
So...now to the BSB. They sang so many songs!! Their part of the show started at about 9pm and they went till 11pm. Something like that. Song listings you ask? Well, even if you didn't (the order may be a little off):
ok...so the concert was good. I was getting mad at Howie cuz he didn't look up to our section to see our special sign for him. So I left the concert a little peeved. My sister and I were in the midst of looking for a pay phone to call a taxi when we saw two big buses with silver covers over the front windows and blacked tinted glass. So we figured they might be their buses. We hung out there for about an hour but there were some reports that those weren't their buses. So we left there and went back to where the concert arena was. As we were getting closer, we heard girls screaming. Naturally we ran and ran to see if it was them and to catch them if it was.
Sure enough it was the BSB. My sister saw them go into the bus. I didn't. We tacked ourselves to the end of the line where people were waiting for the bus to pull out. I unrolled my huge poster for Howie. So my sis and I are hold this huge thing at the end of the 'fan line' and we're in the front.
The bus pulls out and everyone starts screaming. The lights were on in the bus and we could see clear inside. B-rok was sitting in the front on a cellphone...my sis thinks he was probably talking to his girlfriend (since we know he has one after their Regis and Kathy Lee appearance (9/2/98)). She also says she saw a bit of Kev and AJ. We both didn't see Nick (oh well). I missed all of that cuz my eyes were glued on Howie. He was standing up facing the fans side and was waving and stuff. Then the bus comes around to our part of the line and we're screaming madly and shaking the poster. HE SAW IT!! HE WINKED AND SMILED AND BLEW US KISSES!!!!! WHOO HOO WHOO HOO!!! I couldn't believe it. My sis was in shock and didn't do anything...she must've been smiling like an idiot. I blew lots of kisses right back at Howie and he returned them too!! WHOO HOO WHOO HOO!!! AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!! I was in absolute heaven! He sort of turned to keep it up as the bus started to turn. It was just us and him. He was looking straight at us! I was going to die. I don't think it has really quite sunk in yet. I think he really liked our sign! I must say it was really eye-catching...which was the point....I hope he remembers it.
I couldn't take a picture even though the camera was around my neck cuz I was holding the poster and blowing kisses. I hope I remember this forever and ever. (My sis was a bit disappointed that she didn't see Kev but she was estatic about our Howie encounter)
