Another story sent to us, I changed the personal stuff. o.k. guys, here it goes! I saw on their web page the whole thing about Atlanta, and I thought that this would be a great trip for me and a friend of mine. Her and I both could just eat Joey up, and so I thought that this would be a great time to meet him. I wasn't really interested in meeting any of the other guys. So I somehow managed to get Dennis Scott's phone number in florida, and I talked to his secretary. She gave me all the info about Planet Hollywood. I sent 200.00. Oh how excited I was! I couldn't believe it! I would get to see Joey in person! Of course I was told that the boys would be at Planet Hollywood, and that they were going to be helping with an auction to raise money for the charity. I was told not to take a camera because the boys would not be taking pictures or signing autographs, which was fine with me because I just wanted to see them in person. well, I tried to figure out which hotel they would be staying at, and I eventually made reservations at the Ritz Carlton which was walking distance from planet hollywood. The day before we were supposed to leave, my friend backed out on me, boy was I mad. The only thing I could do was take my 15 year old daughter. Why not? She loves NSYNC too, but I wanted this to be AN OVER 21 TRIP!!! Oh well, she will have a great time. We got to Atlanta, checked in the hotel, got all dressed up, and walked down to PH. There were TONS of girls outside just standing there, so I walked up to the guy with the clipboard and gave him my name, and he let me in the door and told me to go upstairs to the second floor. We walked upstairs and lo and behold, they had free food and alcohol!!! Well it really wasn't free, but you know what I mean. So I'm eating, drinking wine, looking at all the stuff they were going to auction, My daughter is freaking out, watching the boys body guards, and watching other guys like usher, mase, dennis scott, brian mcknight, some other R&B groups, and some other pro basketball players come in. Me? I just waiting for my man Joey to come in, I could care less about all the other famous people there, I didn't know who half of them were anyway. My daughter did get a hug from Usher, and he asked her if she was O.K., and started laughing because she was freaking. YES it was embarassing! Later on they started bidding on some items of Nsyncs, one of the things was an autographed tour jacket. I really thought *Jenna* would like this so I put up the first bid. well some guy standing behind me bid over me, and then I over him, and we were going back & forth, and i'm thinking what in the hell does a black guy want with an NSYNC jacket? By this time I had about 3 glasses of wine so I was feeling pretty good, so I turned around and looked at him with a mean look and he just smiled at me. And in the mean time, another girl gets in the bidding, the guy gets out, and me & her are going at it. Oh, and when I turned around to give that guy a mean look, I see some guy with a video camera filming the whole thing, (boy how stupid I was not even knowing at the time that it was steve!) Anyway, the other girl ends up winning the jacket because I was not about to pay $500.00 for the jacket. but we did end up getting the new book with their autographs in it for a mere $175.00. Well the guys ended up never coming in the room. They were supposedly running late, so they went straight up to the third floor for a press conference. JC did manage to come down and walk through to go to the bathroom or something, but he never stopped to say hey or anything, So we left shortly after I won the book. Thank goodness we walked back to the hotel, because I was in no condition to drive. We changed clothes and drove over to Ga. State and went to the basketball game. You know everything about that so I won't say much. I did have a good time though, I wish we had better seats. I thought Joey really looked sexy with that bright orange hair! He could be my bozo anytime!!! After the game, we went out back to watch the boys come out and leave. That was pretty funny watching the girls chase the bus that chris and Joey were on. Some girl was runnig down the road carrying a life size superman cardboard thing. While we were waiting me and some other girls were talking to a security guard, and he gave us directions to club liquid. So when we left, I took my daughter back to the hotel, so she could go to bed and proceeded to make my way to the club that was 20 minutes away! when I get there I was turned away at the door because there was a dress code. NO JEANS!!! Oh was I pissed!!! So I raced back to the hotel, changed into my long black skirt, and black tight shirt, high heels, and raced back to the club. It was about 12:00am by the time I finally got there BY MYSELF! But hey, who cares? I was going to get to see Joey! I paid my 20 bucks and went in. The guys were not there yet, so I just hung out, drank my wine, and watched people dance. A girl came up to me and started talking to me and thanked me for going to the auction, and told me she was sorry that I didn't win the jacket. We talked for a few minutes, I don't remember her name, but she had on a yellow bracelet like everybody else did who was associated with NSYNC in one way or another, so I assume she works with them. She told me that Chris and JC would not be coming, but she tried to talked them into it. About 45 minutes later I look over and Lance walked past me, so my heart starts racing as I look for Joey, then he walks in and about 50 girls are following them. Now the whole time before I got there I'm thinking, boy, its not crowded at all, maybe he will talk to me because there is not too much competition. boy was I wrong! I think they all stood by the door till they came, then decided to come into the bar!! Now its packed in there. Some girl grabs Lance and pulls him out on the dance floor. I felt sorry for him because he couldn't hardly dance because she had her arms around his neck!! But he didn't seem to mind, he kept right on dancing. I ease over to the other side of the dance floor where my man was, and there were girls crawling all over him. I'm so nervous at this point, and I want to say something to him, but I don't know what to say. So I just stand there next to some older overweight guy sipping a drink and wonder to myself why he is there in the first place, because he surely doesn't fit into the crowd, but he looks like he's having a good time, as he was watching the girls on Joey too. I finally got the nerve to walk up to him, and two girls were talking to him. they wisper in his ear, (they have to because the music is so loud) he wispers something in her ear, then the 2 girls start kissing each other, then my jaw hits the floor! Obviously Joey gets into that shit, and I was in shock!! Then one of the girls start rubbing his crotch. My jaw falls again, and man it really hurt the second time. I thought to myself, are these girls stupid or what? no, it was desperation I guess. I had heard a rumor that Lance liked to watch girls kiss, but I think they got the wrong man! The girls finally walk away after I think they realized he was playing with their heads, and a guy walks up to joey and starts talking to him. You could tell they knew each other. At this point I am still staring and in shock at what I had just witnessed. to the point that I couldn't believe how stupid those girls were, when Joey and the guy start looking at me, probably wondering what in the hell is she looking at? I turned the other way real quick and go back and stand by that older guy again, gulping my drink down. Now it's about 2:00am, and i'm thinking that I need to go because I know I have to get up early & get on the road to go home. I go over to the bar to pay my tab, I'm standing there waiting to sign my credit card slip, and a waitress comes over next to me to get a drink and start a tab for someone. She says to me, " this guy had better give me a good tip, I don't know who he is but he is obviously famous, so I better get at least a 100.00 tip." I asked her to let me see the gold American Express credit card she was holding to start his tab, and lo and behold, it was Joey's. It had his name on it, and under his name it had "phat one". I thought that was so cute. Anyway, I said to her "that is Joey Fatone from the group NSYNC". she said, "good, I know I will get a good tip". While she was standing there picking up the round of drinks he had ordered for him and some other girls, this other girl came up to me and started talking about how ugly that guys orange hair was and she went up to him and asked him why he did that and he told her because he liked it. I asked her if she knew who he was and I couldn't believe that she didn't!! although she looked to be around my age, (30something) so that's probably why. I told her who he was and she got really embarassed. She went up to him and apologized. I started laughing. I finally got my receipt after waiting for about 20 minutes, signed the bill and said to myself, this is my final chance before I leave, Joey is standing right next to me, I have to do or say something!!!!I will never get this opportunity again. I took my pen handed my credit card and receipt and asked Joey if I could have his autograph, and of course being the sweet guy that he is, said yes, and took my receipt and credit card, but I told him that was my credit card, and he looked at it (I guess to make sure it wasn't his, or to see my name, I don't know, and don't care, all I know is he touched it, and I will never give it up!!) and gave it back to me, then signed his name on my credit card receipt. He wrote something else under his name that looks like the word "star", Why I don't know. for all I know it could say "stay" like he's giving me a sign that he doesn't want me to leave or something, (dream on!!) yeah right!! But you could tell that he was getting drunk because it took him a few minutes to write his whole name. After he got finished I asked him if I could have a hug, and he said yes, and what comes out of my mouth but......" I LOVE YOU ".....OH HOW STUPID I FELT AT THAT MOMENT AFTER THOSE WORDS CAME OUT. But being the fine man he is, he said thank you, and told me that was sweet. I couldn't believe what I had just said. I felt about an inch tall. As I walked out of the bar, waiting for the valet to get my car, in a daze, 2 girls walked up to me, and told me how mad they were because justin would not give them his autograph. I was in a daze the whole 20 minute ride back to the hotel. Wanting to kick myself, for not staying longer, for not saying or doing something different, for not making my girlfriend go with me, I don't know. But all I know is, I saw him, I talked to him, I hugged him, got his autograph, stood next to his father the whole time, without event knowing who he was, wanting to kick myself for that, and for all that, I am a very happy woman. But I can garantee you this, if I ever get the chance again, things will be different. |
