Backstreet Boys
This Is Us Tour
Broomfield, Colorado
June 22nd 2010
This had to be the best day and night ever in my life, no words can express how I feel right about now.
Beware, this review will be long.
I start the day off to get ready and get stuff done, and I headed to the airport and picked up Asia then we headed to the hotel and met up with Brittany in the lobby, we checked in and then headed down to the pool and had lunch and couple of drinks until around 3:00pm.
Headed back to the room to get ready and we also met Jamie and her friend and we headed to the venue by 4:00pm and I was waiting to see to get my stuff from Madison which I ended up getting when I was in sound-check, but the waiting was long I was getting major butterflies I just wanted to be inside and get my spot and then I’ll be okay well I went to Justin and I was the first person to enter and I was stoked, when the time came to where he told us to start walking I was ready to go, I ended up dead center in front of Nick and Howie, I was in heaven no joke.
I got Brian’s attention and I gave him the shirt I had gotten him I told him when I saw this it made me think of him he said thank you looked at it and told me he liked it and laughed as well, I was like thrilled that he liked it, and he held it up and posed with it, once again amazing.
Nick came out last and I ended getting his attention and gave him the shirt he said thank you with a smile, and there I was like yes, there’s that smile I love, and he laughed of course when he saw the shirt, it was the same one he had before but in his size since he lost the weight and he kept carrying it around for a bit. This is when the fun began all thanks to Brian being silly as usual, he was making jokes and interacting with me quite often which of course I always enjoy, who wouldn’t right? At one point in time he was doing some weird moves and he tells me he pulled his ass, then corrects himself and says he pulled his butt, I’m like what, how, why, ha-ha and Brian knows the smallest stuff he does makes me laugh so he kept doing simple stuff, *sighs* I will have a laughing attack someday due to him, again no joke, he also kept touching his crotch area, I had to ask him if he had to go pee, and he replied with someone but couldn’t catch it in time.
During the sound-check it was really fun, Nick hit Howie in his “area” with his microphone and of course you can hear me laugh in my video. I had to state my name which I almost forgot for a second there ha-ha, I got to ask AJ a question, my question was basically for any of them but I figured it would fit AJ the most next to Nick and Brian, and he answered but I kept focusing on Brian because he was being his goofy self of course but I believe my friend got my AJ question on video so I hope it came out, from what I recalled it seems Nick and Brian really liked it, and I sort of showed them in when I asked the question which fit perfectly, and at one point Brian was doing basically calling Nick crazy and I looked over because he was looking at me, I was like WHAT, he goes oh not you, him he’s crazy, you’re cool, it’s cool. I was like oh okay, I thought so hah and Nick said that my tattoo was really nice, which made me smile, and I loved how AJ went on about it answering my question, it was awesome.
The sound-check was very short than the last ones I’ve been too but I was still happy with the outcome and the VIP photo’s were next so I got ready for mine since I had props and letter’s to give for each and such and killed time and talked with Melissa and Jamie.
When my time came I was little prepared but I was a bit nervous since this was my very first group photo with the guys but I was set to go so I said hello, and I gave AJ, Nick, Howie and Brian their letter’s, and told them that I would like the devil horns to be worn for the photo so they each put them on which made me happy as well I had a angel halo on then I asked Howie if he would mind switching so I could get my Frick and Frack sandwich that I always wanted, I did feel bad but you work for your dreams right so I did, and Howie had no problem with it and I said thank you, and I asked Nick for a hug and he smiled and said sure oh it was pure awesomeness I may add and I turned for my photo since Drew was getting a little antsy oh well hah, I believe Nick came down for my photo which made me swoon, then I turned and asked Nick if he was going to the after party and he said yes, I said oh can you be my date, he said sure and was trying to talk to me some more but Drew shoved me off ha-ha but it was a great special moment ;)
Now comes the backstage tour Brian was our tour guide which I was happy about I wanted either Nick or Brian, I was going to record the entire tour but I didn’t feel to do so due to many people talking and such but did take photo’s.
Brian ended up taking a photo of us on his Blackberry before he started talking with us some more but never tweeted the photo, *pouts* but I told him that someday I would like a tweet back, lol.
he came over to talk to us and we got into talking bout the New Kids On The Block show, and I told Brian that fans want a tour with them both and he was like really, hah plus we talked bout other things such as a article that Brian had read bout the New Kids On The Block show, to him seeing a girl from early stages of Backstreet Boys to now who is a teenager and saw her at the show with her mom and such, it was really cool to see him just tell us stories it’s was fun.
Then he said that he was the only tour guide that took fans onto the stage which was exciting, I asked him about the tour bus and he said he did do that but it was only due to the backstage tour being a little shady and not really interesting and he explained of how and why. He asked if anyone has been to a show yet and I said no but my friend has been to three and I was like what bout Ohio in Aug, I’ll be going to both does those count and he goes well yeah but not for this question, I was like “oh crap, I must of heard wrong” hah.
He started us off onto around and onto the stage and I have to admit the stage part was pretty cool, to see how they do things and whatnot such as change clothes and where they come from and go to, etc.
Brian let me hold a piece of wardrobe that was a bit heavy and I was like thinking I wouldn’t be able to wear that with the extra weight, and he also showed us these pair of shoes and told us to take a photo of it and how it flashes into the photo’s and he later explained that to Jenn and said how we were all like OMG ha-ha. I asked him so basically you have hurry, drink water fast as you can as well of changing and getting ready to go on and he said yes and it hard with people inside the rooms, with another person trying to not bump into each other, he also showed us the mask they wear and I for sure thought it was leather but it wasn’t, he also explained how they have sticky stuff so it will stay on your face or else it will be flimsy lol which I happened to feel it to see for myself, during this I also blinded Brian by taking a photo by accident, I apologized lol.
He took us up to the stage and I got to stand on one of the red boxes and I kept looking through the strips they had and thought it was interesting, and I asked if anyone has fallen he said yes many times and also explained how he fell when he jumps over before Straight Through My Heart, I was like ouch, lol.
He called the stripe a huge diaper, I was like “did I hear you say diaper” he goes “yes one big diaper” LOL!!! He explained a lot of stuff on stage and what happens and why they have management, production, and how much it cost to rent semi’s per week which made my jaw drop, he also showed us different rooms that are needed and how usually each room cost money to rent and that’s why he got the family room and told a little story as well.
When he showed us the dressing rooms and such, he kept saying panties and I so badly wanted to say actually those are called underwear but I didn’t but when he pulled out his underwear he was all like trying to cover them up like you can’t see them, I’m like right Brian it’s to late ha-ha.
There some was some kick balls and he was so excited he wanted to go play some dodge ball, lol! When we was in the dressing room he explained how he gets his shoes in Japan and how he’s a shoe-aholic, ha-ha which was pretty neat and I can understand that as well.
He took us to the basketball court and explained that if he could he would have a basketball court on tour with him since it what helps relax before a show and whatnot, and Nick was there playing some basketball with a few people, he went and shot a ball into the lowered basket which was pretty funny, then he signed something for all of us and I asked for if we can get a solo photo and he said sure, and we all got together to do a group photo first and then we did the solo’s and I went first and I ended up telling Brian, how come you didn’t smile big, that’s like our thing you know, and laughs and he goes I did smile I showed teeth so I checked and I was like oh yeah you did my bad and he just pointed, laughed and gave me a big smile so I waited for others and got into trouble trying to talk to Nick, I just wanted to ask him a question then I told Brian thank you and we all headed out.
Now was time to wait for the show until then I met up with friend’s talked to everyone much as I could and get around, I also went into this cube thing and ended up winning six dollars which got me some free water lol.
The show was finally about to start and I was happy, I was just upset due to the fact that some girls from the 5th row got to get front row and it annoyed the hell out of me because the entire show they kept screaming *insert name here* “OMG I love you” which also hurt my ears but I did my best to ignore them and enjoy the show and I have to say that this show left me speechless, hands down, for some reason my camera was acting up last night but I did get great photo’s so I’m glad for that, and my camera doesn’t seem to like Howie, :\ or AJ sometimes.
As you know how the show goes on so I won’t go into details but I will mention my favorite or memories.
-I loved the entire set, the costumes, the dances, and all.
-AJ sang to me during I’ll Never Break Your Heart and he gave me his rose I was swoon by him and so happy, I did beg for it, but he looked straight into my eyes it was awesome.
-Brian sang a little to me during Undone and waved to me
-AJ sang to me again during More Than That
-I got a lot of eye contact with Nick (he’s such a tease)
- I got some eye contact with Brian and a few smiles
-Some eye contact with Howie
-I love the face expressions Nick makes when he’s dancing, some are priceless and some are just sexy
I have to say that I cannot choose a favorite performance I loved them all.
I kept hitting the girl next to me by mistake with my rose but what can I say, she shouldn’t of been there in the first place, and end of the show AJ came across and he touched my hand and then it was time to take off to the after party!
After-Party
Vinyl Club
We arrived at a good time and got our spot in front of the VIP booth which was great so I had something to lean on, since by the end of the night my feet were throbbing. Nick and Howie showed up about ten minutes later and were taken into the VIP lounge, the guys danced some, talked some, sang some and Howie had some wine it and was just chatting up, and later on they had brought two girls that were like dancing dirty hardcore and they were brought to the VIP by Howie to dance and such and it was just plain horrible, you basically had to be there to know where I’m coming from but I basically felt I was at some lesbian strip club because we could see the girls thongs and butts, one girl even had her pants ripped so we basically could see her butt, I also wanted to talk to Lauren but she never came over, oh well. but here are some good points/memories from the after party.
-Nick shook/touched my hand three times
-Nick gave me some non stop big smiles, which made me swoon!
-Howie came by and I asked him why he brought the two girls up and that it was very disgusting and he said it was funny, I said no it’s not it’s disgusting and he goes that’s why it’s funny, and we both laughed, I was like well you’re a guy, I’m a girl and he thanked all of us for coming out.
-Nick waved at me at some point with a huge smile I have no idea what made him do that but I was just standing there just listening to the music and watching everybody
-Howie waved, said hello and winked ;)
- Thanked Nick for coming, and I also said hey I’m your date, and he goes yeah but you can’t come up here, I said I was kidding, lol but he gave me a huge smile but he did gave me a lot of eye contact through the time being there so that was awesome.
-One point I was shaking my head non stop at the two girls and Nick and Lauren were laughing hardcore I just kept looking at them and I said no more this is got to end, and Nick laughs and points Lauren to me and says something I just said NO WAY lol.
-He held my hand a bit before he left the club as he was saying good-bye to everyone, it was only for a second or two but still nice, he was bout like starting to put his fingers between mine, then Drew pulled him away, my heart was beating but he kept looking back at me every time he looked at someone else I was just like in awe as he walked away he said he liked my wrist tattoo, the one with the shooting stars, which of course made me smile.
