My jaw dropped... I couldn't believe I was near the set. Its all I have been talking about since my trip to new york was booked haha!I looked up and down that street where the sign was posted and couldn't find the set. Then I found a police officer who showed me the way. I don't want to get into too much detail about the set and stuff but it was a lot of fun and im so glad I got to be out there watching them film scenes for upcoming episodes :) ! I stood out there for a good 5 or 6 hours or so without eating along with a bunch of other girls.
Later on in the day I headed back to the hotel with only 40 minutes to shower and get ready to pick up my tickets for the event! I knew I wasn't going to have enough time to get ready and get the tickets in time so my moms friend coming with us who worked near the ticket pick up area, got in line and picked up our tickets! I was so nervous. haha.
I arrived and got in line with her. We weren't toward the front, obviously because I was chasing the gossip girl cast all day and was unable to arrive early haha :) So the line was moving super slow and my mom and her friend could not stand in their HIGH heels haha so my mom went over to the security guard working the door and said I can't stand anymore can we come in and guess what? He just took us right in HAHA. We skipped like 40 people haha.
So we walked in and went downstairs to the stage area. Upstairs were tables for parents to sit at. :) Before it started I walked around on the floor by the stage in search of my friend. Finally found her IN FRONT ROW ;) she let me stand with her.. thank you becky! :) Lights dimmed, etc.. and some guy not sure who he was but he was associated with j14 in some way or another introduced Lexi, who works with j14. She is the sales associate!
After Lexi talked and said thanks for coming, etc... she brought Tiffany Giardina out! :) I was so excited! Within the first 40 seconds of No Average Angel (first song she sang..) she came over to my side I waved and she waved/winked back at me with a smile. She totally remembered me from 2 weeks ago. ha ha. :) She already knew I was going to be there though (: she is so nice!
Tiffany performed the two songs she usually does with a quick performance: Hurry Up & Save Me and No Average Angel. Took some pictures and videos of each song. I had two battery's with me but after filming the gossip girl set they were both dead. I didn't have any time to charge them when I got back to the hotel either so I just went to the concert with two almost dead battery's haha.
When she was done, Drew Seeley came out and everyone was screaming for about 5 minutes straight. He couldn't even talk and introduce the next artist. He finally quieted the audience and brought out corbin bleu! Wohoo! When Tiffany & Drew came out to the stage, they came out a door in the corner back area of the stage, but when corbin came out he jumped out from behind the curtain.
Nobody really noticed that he came out because we were so focused on that corner (where we thought he was coming out of) until he started singing! I knew the songs he sang, just not in correct order. He sand run it back again, from that movie Minutemen which I said he was probably going to do. He did a great cover of Man In The Mirror by Michael Jackson as well. He also sang speed of light and showed off his dance moves ha ha.
After he finished his set, everyone started to leave except for those who had meet and greet passes. (I was one of those people) Besides winning this contest for the concert.. I also won m&g passes. I couldn't believe it :) I walked around by the stage and found Corbin's dad and took a picture with him. It came out blurry but I ended up seeing him much later and taking another one!
I got in line and it moved pretty quickly until it was my turn. I'll explain why.... first person was Drew Seeley! He is incredibly nice! I took my picture with him & then we started talking about the little mermaid ha ha.. this was the start of my holding up the line. Next was Tiffany. She was so excited to see me! I had her sign the picture of her and I we took from the event she was at two weeks ago :)
Everyone that took pictures with tiffany before me leaned over the table since she was behind it. I didn't do that ha ha! I said to her.. how are we taking this picture and she says come back behind the table and we can take it like that! I was the only one that got to do that. I wasn't taking a picture leaning over a table ha ha! I walked behind the table, you know, holding up the line... and she had this HUGE smile on her face and she gave me the biggest hug ever! :D
We were talking for about two minutes while everyone stared at me like HURRY UP! ha ha. Tiffany was the one talking to me.. and I kept getting yelled at for holding up the line and tiffany was just like oh well and continued talking to me :) She said I'm so glad you won.. its nice to see you again.... etc! :)
Next was Corbin. Since I was already behind the table, I just stayed for my picture with him. I was once again the only one who took pictures behind the table with him. Not to sure everyone was happy with that hah but oh well! I said what I needed to say and I enjoyed talking to them! Im not shy AT ALL. I talk to just about everyone that walks past me ha ha.
We talked about his album, his dad, and I asked (someone told me to ask him this & I totally forgot who) if they were doing another high school musical tour. He told me no and that they already did one. We took the picture and he signed his c.d. for me :) Im glad I didn't go out and buy it! :) He was so nice! If I had more time.. I probably could have talked to him all night! He gave me a hug and thanked me for coming!
Then my mom and I spoke with the security guard that let us in because my moms feet were hurting. He was really nice! Then I saw Corbin's dad again and talked with him for a little and then took another picture with him which came out perfect! :)
I picked up my gift bag which had a poster of Tiffany and Corbin on a stick in it as well as some candy & then headed out! It was a long tiring day but I had a lot of fun at the concert and was so glad I got to be apart of it!
