My names Tiffany, and i live in Ohio, and Im 14...my encounter at the Lakewood Ohio, Dec-30-01 concert.....
My friends and I heard that DS was coming to cleveland..and we went the day they were being sold to get tickets.. We showed up at the mall at like 6A.M. waiting for teh doors to open finally at 7 they did. We ran straight to the ticket master and waited till 10a.m for the tickets to go on sale..
As we waited a few other ppl casually came in to get tickets for an ice show. When they got in our tickets it turned out we got BBB. which was 2nd row, the pit. When the seller told us we got the pit, my friend jenny and i both jumped up and down screaming at the top of our lungs,.. the ppl behind us were covering there ears we were so loud.Afterwards we were running around the mall till noon, skipping and going to stores looking for outfits, months in advance..jenny was the only one who ended up wearing what she had picked.LOL..The night of the concert was finally rolling around, and we all got more nervous and nervous to go..
We showed up at Lakewood High @ 4 o'clock, the doors werent gonna open till like 6:45.. We saw a limo and we all chased it around the school, but we didnt get to see who it was cuz we ran back.
My 2 friends and I went to the gas station, and my other two friends walked around the school.. As they did, they heard someone saying Hey Hottie.. they looked but didnt see anyone so they ran back.
It had to be like below 0*, so we all crowded around the doorways.. My group of friends started singing "ihet" then the HOLE crowd joined in. Then we switched to Miss you, and noone seemed to know it, so it was just us singing, we finally got inside. We ran to our seats and i was like seating their amazed as my friends laughed at me, id never been that close to a stage before. so we sang and danced along with the opening acts, J5, 3rd Faze, and Myra, they were all AMAZING!!!, Then Louie came out to announce DS.. i had already almost lost my voice so i was using the bit i ahd left to scream Dream Street. They came out and performed for us, and i was singing and dancing along. At one point during Dream On, when the guys are sitting in the chairs, Greg looked straight at me and was waiting for my camera to flash..LOL.. then i told him with the little point to ur eye, ur ehart and them, meaning i love you, and he winked, and smiled then bit his lip and started singing. During This Time, frankie was touching a bunch of girls hands and as i went up he walked away, tehn i pouted. He saw me and walked to the front of the stage and held my hand . During Feel the Rain i was close to Jesse and he dumped his water ALL over us..To abd for my friend ehr shirt was white.. During It Happens Everytime, Greg was determined to jump onto the speaker, then accidentally!!! he like fell! i guess the speaker moved but he FLEW backwards!!!!i was laughing so hard! then afterwards we were about to leave and we heard a buncha girlss screaming chris is coming chris is coming so we all formed a line.. i was towards the back and i was telling my friends how i was getting nervous, and i felt sick. they kept trying to calm em down then suddenly i threw up in line.. I couldnt get to the girls bathroom cuz the huge line , then i put my hand over my eyes and mouth and held my arm up and wlaked into the guys bathroom and was like IM COMING IN! luckily noone was in there. i guzzeled down water and chewed a bunch of gum, then got back in line..
i was 1 person away from Chris, and i said i think im going to be sick again and nothing against their crew, but the one guy was mean, he said PLEASE DONT! and snapped at me and i told him i was just kidding!!!!then i was standing there infront of chris, trying not to say anything embarassing and outslips, ur hot i want u really bad!!! he was smiling, and said really? thats cool, i can tell and smiled. i almost melted, ia sked him for an autograph and he said ya, then i asked for a pic and he gave me a little smurk and said Sure, tehn a MILA second after my friend snapped the picture he turned and kissed me on the cheek. i could have passed out, and i was like OMG and walked away, he followed me with his eyes as i started screaming and turned around him and louie were laughing and smiling.. Then i met Jump 5 and told them wut happened, and then my friend and i were tlaking and outcomes claudia.. we posed for sum pics with her, she is SO beyond Nice!!!!! we gave ehr our group site address, and she said she'd try to go to it, then we sang for her....she said we were good and maybe we'd open for DS one day then we suggested her being our choreographer and she said "yea i will" so were gonna quote her on that one day.lol..
But that was my encounter the best/most embarassing day of my ENTIRE life!!!
