May 19th, 2011. I don’t exactly have a story this time. Just a few memorable moments.
Seeing David and having him remember that I wanted two pictures since I didn’t get any last night, and having him squeeze the living daylights out of me about 5 times.
Watching unbelievable magic tricks at the merch table with James, Anthony, Mark, Brian, the singer of Done With Dolls, Jenn and Jacki.
Having a popped balloon being whipped at me. *cough cough* James *cough cough*
Standing by the merch table to talk to James while the guys went outside, seeing them walk in with lovely Canadian hats, and David taking his off and carefully placing it on my head.
Hearing all of them saying my letters were beautiful.

Guy doing magic tricks, “Okay. Who out of you two (Mark and Anthony) is smarter?”
Anthony, “I am!”
Guy doing magic tricks, “I trust you. Who’s smarter?”
Brian, “Oh. Uh.. I’ll go with Mark for right now.”
Anthony, “ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I’M OBVIOUSLY SMARTER! I ANSWERED FIRST, MY BRAIN IS FASTER!”
The group picture. That was ridiculous.

Meeting Cameron on the street while walking to the venue.
“Are you coming to the show tonight? I’m just looking for some food. I’ll see you at the show tonight!”
Mine and Anthony’s killer handshake.
Saying my last goodbyes and getting one last picture with each of the boys.
Brian telling me several times to not cry, but I did anyways and he just sat there and hugged me like a ninja.
My last picture with Dave. Getting ready to take a normal picture, and he wraps his arms around me and goes, “WABAM! I BET YOU DIDN’T EXPECT THAT!”
Anthony discussing how the white ‘Shine’ bracelet reminds him of Taylor Swift.

Walking away from Dave. Me, “You’ll be back soon right?”
Dave, “We will be, I promise!”
Me, “Promise?”
Dave, “I promise!”
Me, “Promise?”
Dave, “Promise.”
Me, “Promise?”
Dave, “I promise.”
Saying hello to Anthony for the first time, and having him say to my aunt as I walk away, “Michelle’s great.”
Potential sweet smile from Anthony on stage?
That awkward moment when you do a flip on stage and you fall on your head. #swag
“You really expect to buy something of mine and not have me sign it?”
Dan smelling amazing, once again.
Awkward hugs from Mark. He’s a giant.
“I’ll see you later. Tpayne.”

myaiexperience:

May 18th, 2011. It was my first time meeting the boys after being a fan for 3 years. I started walking into the venue not really expecting anything special. The boys came on, did amazing, and then Brian and Anthony went to the merch table to meet some fans. Obviously, I went to the merch table. I was walking away, and as I was walking I saw Anthony. I ran up to him, yelled his name, he yelled my name, and gave me a hug. I gave him his letter, he told me how amazing I was, met my dad, told me he’d see me soon, and went to go meet other fans.

I started wandering around the venue in hopes to find Brian. I soon found him with nobody around him so I figured it would be my perfect chance to meet him. So, I went up to him, he introduced himself not quite recognizing me, and I told him I’ve been a fan for about 3 years and handed him the letters for the whole band. He said, “That is so awesome, thank you so much. I will definitely read these when I go upstairs!”

I later went to the merch table and told James who I was. I @ replied him on twitter a few days before the show and let him know that I would be buying everything. He started laughing and was like, “OH MY GOSH THAT’S YOU!”
I decided to only start with buying a cd and sunglasses. 20 minutes later I went back and decided to get everything I possibly could. James was so, so thankful and would not stop thanking me. While I was buying everything, Anthony was standing there talking/meeting a couple of fans and he glanced over with a smile on his face a couple of times. As I’m walking away with everything in my hand, Anthony tapped me on the shoulder, gave me a huge hug and went, “Thank you so much. You’re amazing. You’re the best ever.”

Done With Dolls started playing, me and my friend Danielle started crying because they were so bad and then I saw Dan. Nothing special really happened, he just smelled really, really good.

Then Mark! When I saw him first, he was talking to some fans and I didn’t want to interrupt so I just got him to sign my cd and I got a hug. He knew who I was, but I didn’t think he did. He seemed super excited to see me.
A few months ago, Anthony told me that he was creeping on my twitter and saw that I replied to Danielle, and he told me that he thinks that she was really cute. So obviously, I made them meet. While they were talking, Anthony points to me and goes, “She’s like my little sister from Canada.” I almost cried. A couple minutes later, Mark joined because he remembered I wanted a picture with him. He gave me another hug, and Anthony says, “You know who this is, right?” Mark said, “Yes, of course I do!” Anthony, “Who is she?” Mark, “Tpayne!” I just sat there in awe. I couldn’t believe he knew who I was.
After, I just sat at the merch table and hung out with Anthony and James for a little bit.
When the whole show was over, I met Dave. No picture, unfortunately, but I met him. I saw Anthony and he told me to stay by the merch table because he wanted to see me after but I couldn’t stay so I tried to find him. I said goodbye to Mark, who by the way gave me the biggest hug I have ever received in my life, Anthony, James, who would not stop thanking me, and then Brian.
As I was saying goodbye to Brian he was like, “You’re tpayne right?” Me, “Yeah!” Brian, “So Michelle?” Me, “Yes! Almost everyone knows me! I’m so surprised!” Brian, “Haha, you’re popular! That’s so awesome, though! I’ve been talking to you on myspace and twitter, for what, years! Wow. It’s so nice to finally meet you! I’ll see you tomorrow, and thank you so much for the letters! I’ve still gotta read them.”
I guess you could say that it was an amazing night.. I don’t think I have ever smiled so much in my life. I knew they meant so much to me for a reason. Just.. Slkfilahfakfhih they’re the most amazing guys ever.
