Knoxville, Tennessee

Here's the little review on our Knoxville trek...
Well, we decide probably a week beforehand that we are going to Knoxville.  Made no reservations.  Got no tickets, no nuthin!  We left around 7 in the morning in my (Brandi) car.  Oh yeah by the way, we got absolutley NO sleep the night before because a stupid cop got her car stuck in a ditch in front of my house.  Brilliant are the people who protect and serve us.  Anyway, we talked all night long because we were so excited.  We had one of the funniest convo's I think I had ever had about stealing Chris since no one liked him and grinding him up to make Chris-burgers (and since our view on Chris has changed).  Alright, so we get on the road.  It only took us about 3 hours to get there so we were really really early.  We ate good ole McDonalds and wasted some time there.  Let me tell ya, Knoxville wins the award for most school spirit!  I mean, the whole friggin town is covered in orange (in case you do not know what team plays there, it's the Tennessee Volenteers, or the Vols.  Their colors are orange and white, hence the page colors.  They are a  hated team by most Georgians).  So automatically, I got pissed because that's all you saw everywhere you went.  Okay this is going nowhere, on to the good stuff...
As we were looking around for the arena, we stumble accross the Hilton.  I drive right on up to it and see a plethora of tour buses!  We were estatic!  This big plan comes up with us trying to get a room there.  I go in and bullshit with the BITCH at the front desk.  She wouldn't even help me, I had to keep on staring at her...and I was the only person at the desk!  Welll, anyway, she wouldn't let me get a room.  There was definatly something going on  because of all the buses and security. I was the only 'fan-like' person in there too. 
We decide to get a room.  Okay we weren't certain about getting one before because it isn't a long drive and we were getting kinda short on dough, but we found a room.  I, by the way, didn't pack shit for clothes.  I didn't think we were staying so I brought my hoochie outfit for that night and my makeup...Amy on the other hand brought a bag with all kinds of stuff in it.  She goes up to look at the room while I am signing papers and crap and little did I know that she told them yes to give us the handicapped room!  Now, I think it's great that they even have handicapped rooms but not for people who don't need them!  This room had a twin bed and a loveseat.  That was it!  Just guess who gets the bed...the short one, Amy!  I had to cramp my 5'10 inch self on a loveseat. 
We heard on the radio that there was going to be an Nsync poster contest going on at 4 at the arena.  It being about 12 then, we decided to go get our posters ready.  While Amy took a shower, I walked down to Walgreens and bought supplies.  You know, glitter, markers, crayons, typical poster stuff.  Get the rules for the contest, all you had to do was say something about Nsync and the local radio station promoting the contest.  Well, we made our decent looking signs and made our way over to the arena.  There was about 20 other people there and this was 2 hours before the contest started.  We chit-chatted and then people started showing up with MASTERPIECES!  I mean, these posters must have cost some people a friggin fortune to make!   They were outrageous.  Right then, we figured we didn't have a snowballs chance in hell because we spent about 20 minutes making ours while they spent months.  While we were waiting we went into the ticket office and found out that there was some more tickets left, but they sucked.  We didn't care and bought them for $85 together. Okay, so then our next mission was to find a scalper with better tickets.  We found this dude who was about 21 or so and I started talking to him and he was gonna cut us a deal for the tickets he had, which was 20th row.  So he told us that he would sell us the tickets for $100 and the tickets that we already had.  Pretty sweet deal so we were all over that.  Then we walked back to the car and sat in there after the contest was over.  I got a kick-ass parking spot and I was not  going to lose it by leaving.  So we sat in the car and listened to Nsync and fell asleep since we got no sleep the night before.  I wake up and see that it was about time to go in.  We go in and realize that we forgot the camera, damn no pictures then.  Found the seats and they sucked big time!  Well, not really, they were side stage and we got a lot of one on one attention from the guys.  We couldn't see them all dance together except for the screen.  Do any of you remember the first Nsync concert you went to?  This was so kick-ass because that was the first time I had seen them do GlowMonster and Sailing.  Ahhh...it was wonderful.  By the way, why do people gie you eat-shit-and-die-looks because you know "U Drive Me Crazy"?  I don't know either.  Well then after that we went to the after-party(which is talked about in the afterparties section and a little bit on Joey's section) which we were late getting to because my car's battery died and Knoxville people are stuck up as hell and no one would jump me off! 
Well, that was Knoxville!  To have no tickets, no reservations no nuttin, I think we did okay!  Oh yeah,  we had the funniest guy for a desk clerk!  He thought we were crazy!  Amy called him about 20 times to confirm what the radio station's number was!  It was hilarious, then he saw us in our hoochie outfits and about died laughing because we did a total 180 in the looks department.  We rode in looking like trash (Me-old ass Hard Rock shirt, shorts, and pantyhose-yes I didn't know we were getting a room and have you ever put pantyhose on in a gas station bathroom?  Neither have I, but I can imagine it being horrible.  Amy was wearing adidas pants and a Insane Clown Posse shirt...HA!)  and then we came out looking ghetto-fabulous!  It was an entertaining trip!.
