I got there around 7:15.. the concert started at 8:00. It was in a small venue and was SOLD OUT, therefore we were pretty squished. I walked in and there were tons of people already in front of me but I had a great view! I was soon moved up to the very front after honor society's second song... which I'll explain later! :)
Jessie James started exactly at 8:00. Everyone was pretty quiet during her set haha.. only some people were taking pictures and videos while others just stared. I video taped parts of each of the five songs she performed and posted them all on my youtube. (link on the right.)
She started with Blue Jeans then went to Hurry Up and started to explain what the song is about. Next was Bullet.. one of my favorites by her and then looks so good and wanted :) She said she wrote bullet with Katy Perry not sure for who's album though :)
After she was done, Honor Society came out about 5 minutes after and started with Two Rebels. After Two Rebels was over, I was moved up to the very front. Not the front row but the gated VIP area on the side of the stage thanks to a security guard my mom made friends with!
Toward the end of Two Rebels Andrew Lee and Michael Bruno were rocking out haha. Jason Rosen just stared and then joined in for a few seconds. Alex Noyes just sat there and kept playing the drums haha.
I was so happy over there because I was only with a few people (Honor Society's publicist, Ned, their manager Phil, another security guard, and my mom) & was not squished what so ever.
It felt great haha! :D
I stayed over there for 2 songs and then was told that no cameras were allowed near the stage since I wen't so close haha so they just moved me back a little. :) No big deal I could see the stage perfect still and didn't have anyone constantly knocking into me!
They also sang Nobody Has To Know (one of my favorites by them!), and Full Moon Crazy (Alex Noyes did not stop smiling throughout this entire song!)
Next came Where Are You Now.. my favorite song by them! They really got into the song and Alex started flipping his drum sticks while playing haha. Not sure if anyone noticed but I filmed it :) They played a couple more including a new song called Sing For You. The Jonas Brothers helped write it.
Then they paused and starting to discuss the last song they wrote before they left to go to LA to record their record which was specifically written for the fans.
Michael's exact words: "Cause we knew once we left, we didn't want anyone of you to forget about us" "because were sure how we've not forgotten about you"
Then they began the uh uh uh oooohhh oh.. uh uh uh ooohhh oh. haha!
If you don't know what song I'm talking about yet, its Dont Close The Book! Then he had us repeat that about three or four times because he preferred us to be louder.. then they started to sing the actual song :)
The last song they played which was an obvious one, was SEE U IN THE DARK! :) I tried to film it as best as I could when the chorus came on because I really wanted to do the dance (the honor roll)! If you haven't heard of it yet or learned it I suggest you do so! It's really easy and a lot of fun!
After the concert was over Rob Hoffman started walking toward these doors on the side of the stage (which is where I was) and we took a picture! I started talking to him about garbo.. he found it funny :)
Everyone got in line for the Meet and Greet which was downstairs. The line was INSANELY huge since they said they wanted to meet EACH AND EVERY FAN... that is... if you pre order the CD for $20 once you get down there haha!
I didn't wait in line since the security guard said he would take me with him. He couldn't even take me down there right away because everyone was pushing and we couldn't even get through... I didn't mind waiting. It was a mess getting downstairs to the Meet and Greet!
After a while my mom and I wen't outside to get some fresh air since it was jam packed in there.
Right when I got outside I ran into HANNAH HYLEN & HER MOM! They were so nice and I was so glad I had the chance to meet them! If you don't know who Hannah is, check out her blog at hannahhylen.blogspot.com :)
Then I came across three guys from Jordin Sparks band. There are four of them, but only three were out there at the time.
Talked to them for a little bit and then took a picture!
Then the security guard came out and got me and took me down to the Meet and Greet! Got in line with about three other people down their at the time and met the boys!
First was Alex Noyes! I looked at him and he had this huge smile on his face! LOVE HIM!
Next was Michael Bruno. He was so nice! I told him how it was my first time seeing them and meeting them and that I thought they did great! We discussed the Florida shows I'm going to and he asked my mom if she was coming to the shows with me (which she is for one show) haha! He signed my poster and said see you in FLORIDA! :) He also asked for my name.. not sure why.. guess he just wants to try to remember it haha.
Andrew Lee was up next! We discussed basically the same things about the florida concerts and then he signed my poster and smiled!
Last was Jason Rosen! He asked for my name (still no idea why haha), hi-fived me, winked at me, signed my poster, and then waved goodbye. We both laughed haha.. I don't know what he was doing but he kept winking at me!
After I left the Meet and Greet, I found some of my friends from back home outside the venue! Talked to them for a little bit and then left.
Fun concert! Can't wait to see them again in Florida!
-JORDANA-
p.s. forgot to say.. after taking a picture with Rob Hoffman, my mom found Jessie James' setlist near the stage and gave it to me! :)
