So we got into Britney Spears! It was so cool, all these suburban girls with their hootchie moms...thousands of girls frantically waving their glow sticks with "I love Britney" written on their bodies, screaming for the pop princess to lavish her attention on them. It's sort of creepy. The best part was being in front, and looking back into the audience, feeling really cool to be 4 feet away from her. Plus, the other photographers were really nice which was great because sometimes they can be total dicks. I think everyone was getting into the goofiness of it all. But boy, little girls sure can scream. I got to be up front for her intro and first two songs "Crazy" and "Lucky". Of course she's a big ol' lip syncher, but she puts on a great show with pyrotechnics and floating this and dancing that. Not to mention an obnoxious amount of costume changes.
