Hey you! :-) What you are
about to readI get chills just thinking about! I,
Shortydimples, dedicated *N Sync fan, not only got to
go on stage with N SYNC once, but also......TWICE!!!
I repeat, I got to go on stage with them AGAIN last
on July 13th at Jones Beach Amphitheatre in NY. I
CANNOT believe it happened to me yet AGAIN!!!! What
are the odds of something liek that happening more
than once in my lifetime??? Here's what happened.....
This time I was only with my friend Nicole . (Kendra
couldn't come.) This was my second full length N Sync
concert. Last time when had gone in March, Tatyana
Ali, B*witched, and the Sugar Hill Gang were the
opening acts. But at this concert, Jordan Knight and
3rd Storee (another group that I LOVE) opened. The
Sugar Hill Gang was still opening though.
{NOTE: Let me just tell you all a little
something. After being picked to go on stage with N
Sync once before in March, I guess you could say that
we got a little "spoiled"...hee hee. We wanted to go
on stage with them AGAIN and we were determinded to
do so!! LOL
}
Anyway, at this time it was after Jordan
Knight had performed and there was a short break. So,
you know, people were getting up, getting food, going
to the restroom, etc. My friend and I were still at
our seats, we were just talking, etc. Then she stood
up, but I was still sitting. She then noticed these
two guards looking around. She told me, actually she
screamed at me (LOL) to get up with her. So, startled
I was, (LOL) I got up like she said. She pointed out
to me the guards looking around. After we stood up,
we obviously caught their attention b/c then they
started looking at us. We were bugging out...like
usual. LOL I kept telling her "Pretend like you don't
see them". LOL...I don't know what me telling her to
do that was gonna do for us, but I told her to do it
anyway.
So, after they starting looking at us, then they
POINTED RIGHT AT US. Ok, at this point we were
MAJORLY bugging out, but we tried to act cool. We
were kinda sitting at seats that required stairs to
get to them. So after the guards pointed at us, they
started whispering, and then they proceeded to walk
up the stairs!! We were acting like we didn't see
them. LOL And then we started dancing to the corny
music that was playing b/c this was during the
intermission....LOL. So, we're there, you know,
dancing, and acting nonchalantly. Then one of the
guards came to us and asked........
"Do you want to go on
stage?"
Talk about DEJA VU!! Because when we had gone on
stage the first time back in March, the guard had
asked the same EXACT question!! So, of course we
said "YES!" Then the guard was like "Do you know the
words to the song Here We Go?" I was said "Yes!! Of
course!" Then I started singing it for him. He found
this amusing b/c then he started laughing.....LOL.
Next he told us that when we hear N Sync start to
sing it, that we are supposed to go down ALL the way
towards the stage. He told us that this guard near
the stage would know who we are. He gave us this pass
that we were supposed to stick on us so that we would
be allowed to go on stage. After he explained to us
all that we had to do, he left.
{NOTE: Actually, just to give you all a little
more details, he didn't have both of the passes with
him at the time. He only had one, and he gave that
one to me. Then he went somewhere and came back with
another one for my friend. Just thought I'd tell you
all that. LOL}
Ok, so after he left we were bugging out and
we were like "TWO TIMES!! CAN U BELIEVE THIS IS
HAPPENING AGAIN?" Then other gils came running to us
and asked us what happened and we told them and then
they started bugging out with us. Now this time, I
got smart. LOL. I was like "Yeah baby! I'm gonna have
my camera this time!!!" LOL. I knew I wouldn't be
able to actually take it up in stage w/ me, but I
wanted to be able to at least get some pictures from
the side of the stage.
{NOTE: There was also this cute little girl
named April that also got a pass to go on stage. She
was so scared though. Her parents were really nice
and they were talking to Nicole and I. Her mom was
telling us how her daughter April wanted to meet
Justin b/c he was her favorite, but how April was too
scared to go on stage. I told her that we would take
care of her and that she didn't have to worry. But
she never did end up going up there with us. :-( }
