The times of below 0 degrees...
Yeah, I'm one of those completely insane Jonas brothers fans' that woke up at four in the morning to get down to Detroit at 5 am, for tickets.
here's the story. ---
- 4 am - woke up/got dressed, in layers.
- 4 30 am - woke dad up/had breakfast.
- 5 am - left the house.
- 5 30ish am - got to the Fox Theatre.
around 5:40 - 6 something in the morning I started meeting people, and singing Jonas tunes. At around 7, Fox 2 News Detroit came down to the venue. Me and a group of around fifty people circled the car and started singing more Jonas music. At 7:20 we go on TV. pretty cool, huh?! :)
Then, i got in line for tickets. There it was the raffle style, where you get a wristband and you MIGHT get tickets, if your lucky.
my number was 46.
At 9 they called the number 544 [or something close to that.] They had around 720ish people. Luckily, my friend Khaya had number 693, so she got in line earlier and would be buying me a ticket.
they continued calling, and got to 21-60 and I decided, hey, I have the money for another ticket, why not buy one? My friends Jade and Jasmine, were around 100/200 and wanted to know if I could buy them tickets too. I agreed and they handed me their money.
My Mom called and told me she got four tickets online for the Feb 23rd, 2007; Row 22, 8:00 pm show. I was so excited. Now I had tickets, no matter what. I wanted to see if I could get closer, so I stayed in line...
My phone did not stop ringing all day. Under Pressure, Take a Breath [Chipmunk], and SOS played constantly, without end, txts and calls, from EVERYONE.
It was around 11 and we got back outside, for our tickets. Khaya and Anahit came strolling down with tickets and handed me one.
Feb 23rd, 2007; Row 13, 8:00 pm.
I was excited, I would be extremely close.
Soon enough news got out that there was going to be an earlier show, on the same day, and I was getting closer to the front of the box office. Jade, Jaz, and me waited in line some more, while freezing to death, and soon enough I got in.
Feb 23rd, 2007; Row 4 - Orchestra Pit, 4:00 pm.
I had a front row-ish ticket for the OTHER show.
that means, I'm going to both :)
and I have close both times too.
Boy, doesn't it pay off to be a Jonas fan sometimes?! <3 :)
I got home around 1 pm, after being out ALL morning.
then at 2, I had to get ready for solo ensemble. I had been yelling and cheering all day. My throat still is in pain.
but I got a II for my rating, so that's pretty good. It's cause I'm sick and all nasaly. :b!
I don't care, I'm just pumped. This is going to be amazing.

A catch up from La La Land...
I've been lazy with the blogging world, but in truth, my life hasn't been Lazy.
Here's a long blog on what I did. Don't read this if you don't have time.
December 25th - Xmas Day. Got loads of clothes, I think i established that.
December 26th - Marychristine and Shandi Kaye came over. They'll be in this story for a week now, because they stayed over at my place for a week. My mom and i hopped into the car 'round noon, went up to Saginaw-ish-area, and then went to frankenmuth with the chickas.
Look we have a tour bus!
We finally arrive back at my houes 'round like seven? I think.. My parents and I give them our BIG SUPRISE!
Giant x-mas present, we're going to the recording studio friday. Hip-Hip-HOORAY!
we pratice, till late.
December 27th - We wake up, early, 'round 8 am? It's all a blur of light and color now, We take showers, get dressed and get ready, concert today. We arrive at the venue at 10 or 11 in the morning. We tune my guitar, hook up mary's keyboard, and start playing. People continue to arrive, we continue to play. [Video later, It's not on youtube yet...] We play Please Be Mine, our favorite cover. Get a standing ovation, sit down, eat lunch, listen to the speaker. We exchange business cards with adults, etc, we go to the bathroom and take pictures.
i wish i knew how to turn pictures. :b.
Like our jonas immation from BBP?! ;)
it's like 2 pm now.
we pratice for recording studio?... i think we went to the mall after that. :O
It's all a blur now.
December 28th - WE WAKE UP EARLY. i make my hair cool ;) We head to the recording studio around... nine? in the morning. We arrive in Royal Oak at SoundScape Studios.
We put up Jonas posters for inspiration ;)
We pick the order of the songs.
- So Real.
- Game Called Love.
- Please Be Mine, Jonas Brothers Cover.
We fix the mics and do sound check.
We record So Real, It takes a few tries, but It's our first time in a studio, and not my shower for recording, so it's all good. We finish that song before the clock strikes 12. We keep playing to Game Called Love. My fingers start spazzing cause they aren't used to playing so much. I pretty much have to hold back from screaming in pain cause Game Called Love has a 'unique' guitar part that I wrote. We have everything perfect then my finger messes up on one of the last notes of the bridge. I pull through, and darn it, that was our best recording of it, and it will be on the myspace later.
We take a moment to regain composer.
We head back into the studio. My legs feel like jello so I decide I'm sitting for the next song and I don't care what anyone says.
Mary wanted to loop her keyboarding track, so we try that a few times. It doesn't work at first so we decide Mary will do that after we have Please Be Mine, guitar and vocals recorded. We play through only a couple times cause I know that one the most. Mary starts struggling with her vocals from singing all day.
We get a pretty good recording, and Shandi and I are allowed to head over to micky d's for late 2 pm-ish lunch. Mary works for another whatever minutes trying to get the keyboard, finally gives up and comes over to mcdonald's.

more later, maybe, I'm getting bored of writing this ;]
