Jen's Concert Experience
Okay, so first, we're driving to the MGM and I am in
the front seat. I look up, and see the preview for the
concert on the big screen (you know what I'm talkin
about). I start freaking out and jumpin up and down,
shakin the car and shit.
Anyways, we get inside, park the car, and me and my
sister start screaming "I Want You Back" in the
parking garage, getting funny stares from people. We
get to the elevator, and were in it with a bunch of
Korean people who barely speak any English. We're
still singing, and the mom asks us if the concert is
sold out. I say "It's been sold out for months!!"
practiccly yelling it, cause I wanna get some of my
energy out (which didn't work by the way, which we'll
get to later).
We get in the casino, and see a slew of Justin and
NSync shirts EVERYWHERE. I have on a Superman shirt
with a NSync sticker on it. We go, go, go...walk walk
walk, until we finally get inside! I buy me and my
sister each a glow stick, then head to a stand to get
me a Joey picture. I walk up and before I say
anything, the lady says "We are out of Justin
pictures!" I look at her kinda funny and say "I didn't
want a Justin picture." She gives me this blank look
like "What??? YOU don't want a Justin picture?!" I
tell her proudly that I want a Joey picture, and when
I get it, I mention how good he looks in it, and get
this dirty ass look from this fat girl in a tight
Superman shirt and bootie shorts. Now, I have NOTHING
against fat people, but wear something you fit into!!
Anyways, as were walking to get our seats, I notice my
glow stick is gone! Gad damnit!! I want another. So we
first go to find out seats. We find them, and I see my
cousin, and give a giddly little jump. She looks at me
funny saying "It's just NSync." We set our stuff down,
and we go buy another glow stick. But they're outta
blue! God damnit again! So I get a green.
By the time we get back, the opening act is on. STEPS.
Sucked. That's all I have to say. Then Wild Orchid
came on. Okay, I guess. It was tolerable. But since I
was there to see NSync, I was screaming every few
minutes "Get off the stage!!" and recieving an elbow
in my side from my mom. They get off stage, and the
light turn back on, and I am bored. We
sit...sit...sit...the lights go out.
Me and my sister jump up and I grab her hand, and we
start screaming, and I mean SCREAMING. My mom said
she's never heard me scream so loud. The whole Mission
Impossible thing goes on, and when those 5 ropes
dropped from the ceiling, I cannot even express the
emotions I felt. Seriously. I started crying. Don't
ask why!! Teeny moment? I don't know. But then when I
saw them, the tears came down, I grabbed my sister,
and screamed. It was probably because the concert had
been posponed, and for a while, we didn't even know if
it was going to happen. So being there was a huge
relief. They get on the ground, and there I go again.
Screaming. At the top of my lungs.
So the concert goes on, I'm enjoying myself very much,
and here's where it starts getting interesting. During
Joey's solo, ya know, Celebrate, I was FREAKING and I
do mean that. I barely remember any of it I was
freaking so bad. We had really good seats, so using my
binoculars gave me a GREAT view of those thrusts.
Reow!! So, by the end of it, my voice is gone. I try
to scream, and I get this huge rush of pain through my
head. It was weird, I shook it off.
Crazy For You comes on, and that headache is getting
worse. By the end, it's so bad, I have to sit cause I
feel like I am going to pass out. I have to sit
through I Drive Myself Crazy, cause everytime I stand,
I get lightheaded and can't concentrate. SUCKS!! By
the end, I am feeling better, and my mom tells me to
calm down. I am okay, until they break out into BBB.
Now, at the time, this song wasn't even on the radio
yet, the only thing they had performed it on was WB
Awards. So I start screaming again. And freaking out
again. Oh god...so by the time we hit Tearin Up My
Heart, I have to sit again. Since that was the last
song, I miss the goodbyes, and everything. They leave,
and the lights go on. I still can't stand.
So we wait a while. We sit there for about 10 minutes,
and I am not feeling better. My mom tells me we need
to get going if were going to beat traffic. So I heave
myself up and get a massive headrush. We get out into
the crowd of people waiting to get out, and I get
claustrophobic. I'm not usually closotrophobic. And I
feel like I am going to pass out. So I tell my mom,
and my sister and her carry me outside to the steps.
It feels really good outside, cause it's cold, and I
was hella hot, so I sat down again.
I feel a little better and I say let's go. So my mom
walks in front of me and my sister behind me, I guess
in case I pass out, I won't tumble down the stairs.
LOL...funny picture. Anyways, we get out to the back
of the parking lot, and I have to sit again, cause I
have no strength. I sit for a minute, and we get going
again.
Here's the best part! *snicker* We get out to the
crosswalk to the parking garage, and I am feeling weak
again, so I have to sit. I drag myself to the wall,
and sit against it, breathing really heavily, cause I
feel like I'm gonna throw up. Now there are about 200
people waiting to get into the parking garage, and
guess what I do?? I THROW UP IN FRONT OF ALL OF THEM!!
Can you believe that?? Right there in the parking lot.
I am holding my Joey picture, and you hear some little
girl say "Oh my god! She threw up! Hey look! Joey!" I
wanted to slap her.
My mom runs off into the casino to get me a cold rag,
and my aunt shows up and gives me some water. I sit
there, I am feeling a lot better, and my mom comes
back with a rag and a bag for the car in case I have
to throw up again. SUCKS HUH!!??? I don't get feeling
like that again, I guess throwing up was what made me
feel better. But the concert was over at like 10:30
and we didn't get home until 2:00. Damn traffic.
The night that was supposed to the best time of my
life, turned out to be a complete nightmare.
I still have that rag, bag, and water bottle. LOL. And
I haven't washed that shirt yet either, (I haven't
worn it again either! So don't say anything!! LOL)
If you went to the 11-26 concert, and you saw a girl
in a Superman shirt throwing up in the parking lot, it
was me. Ahhh SHUTTUP!!! LOL
I couldn't talk the next day.
