Best night of my life 2-27-08

Here's how that night came about...

It was getting close to concert time. Laura and Adriane wanted to go to the concert too. Too bad we had Heerman's class. Then, God took pity on all of us, and Heerman canceled class. Laura and Adriane bought tickets. We were all going to Jonas! Sprint Center didn't want to say that Jonas had 'sold out' so they opened new sections on the side of the stage. Laura and Adriane got 2nd row on Kevin's side. I was mad. Really mad.

I went home to get Callie, dealing with Cathy's inappropriate text messages about what I should do to Nick Jonas if I met them. They're pretty funny. I kept them in case. I had to convince my mom to get Callie out of school early. It nearly killed my mom to lie to the office and tell them that Callie had a doctor's appointment. Callie was still slightly standoffish about the whole thing. She thought Laura, Adriane and I were ridiculous. Or at least that's what she let on...

Every time I talked to Callie's friends, they would tell me about how she told them the sob story about how she was being dragged to this lame show with her crazy sister. I knew she liked Nick, so I bought a teen magazine and gave her a Nick poster. When I heard all these stories, I thought she was annoyed, so I told her that I would take back the poster and sell the ticket if she really didn't want to go. She told me that if I did either thing she would personally run me over. So I guess she did kinda want to go. :) When we were almost to Adriane's parent's house, the baseball coach called Callie. I only heard her side of the conversation, but this is how it went:
"Hey coach E."
"No, I'm not going to be at practice today, remember?"
"I'm going to the Jonas Brothers."
"Remember? *singing* Oh, this is an SOS, don't wanna second guess, this is the bottom line... "
"No they aren't 12!"
I nearly drove off the road I was laughing so hard.

We got to the show and went to our separate seats. There was no way we'd ever see more than little specks of those boys. Laura called me and we saw that they were at the end of the side stage. Parallel with Kevin. Damn it! Then we had an epiphany, so we sneaked down there. No one was checking tickets unless it was on the floor. Lucky for us, there was an empty seat by the aisle. Callie and I squeezed in.

Then we saw my facebook friend Hannah! We met on the discussion boards on the Jonas Brothers page. She was wearing a yellow shirt that said "Save a drum, bang a Jonas" I thought it was genius. My shirt simply said "Mandi" on the front and "I love the cute romantic one" on the back. Callie's said "Hey Kevin, I can FLIP better than you!" and "I love the cute sensitive one" on the back. Laura and Adriane's shirts said "Hey Joe, I know where there's a swimming pool" She came over and sat by us. Eventually, she got kicked out by people with real tickets to the seats, so she and her friend Katie went over to the Nick side and got some good seats.

Rooney came out and performed. I didn't know a lot of Rooney, to be honest, but I knew the song "When did your heart go missing?" and that was enough for me. We danced and jumped and cheered through the whole thing. Half way through, we looked behind us and saw that EVERYONE else in our section was sitting down. Losers!


So then they started setting up for Jonas. It was the most nerve wracking time ever. Also, as a side note... some dumb middle/high school girls in mini skirts and heels they couldn't walk in sat next to us. They were so rude. And they commented loudly about there was no way home made t-shirts would get Jonas' attention.

So Jonas comes out. AMAZING! We were crazy close, and it certainly didn't hurt that we were on KJ's side. He's tasty. Then, the most amazing thing ever happened... He looked over and saw us... :D
I swear to God he laughed at our sorry excuse for dancing. Were we embarrassed? Yes. Did we stop dancing? Hell no. It was too much fun! I was taking pictures like crazy. I took ~400 photos. Not kidding. Given, a lot of them didn't turn out awesome, but the ones that did are amazing.

The best part? Kevin kept looking at us. Then he told Joe. I have proof.

Here's the first time Joe notices us.

So then Joe paid attention to us too.

Is he waving at us? I like to think he was.

Fantastic night. Seriously. When the song Burning Up came on Laura, Adriane and I freaked. We love the song and had watched it enough on YouTube that we knew the words and how the song was going to go. After Nick did the aerial, Callie looked at me and screamed "I love him!" Uh, duh....

Best night ever.

Oh, and if you want to see the rest of the pictures...

That should do it...

Oh yeah, and we didn't mean to, but we accidentally threw KJ off at the end of SOS... I think.

18 seconds in you see him look in our direction and drop the neck of the guitar. Whoops. We thought that everyone did the SOS dance with Kevin... We didn't realize that everyone took pictures/video and no one really did it. But we did. Like nobody's business. Anyway, Sorry Kevin.
