Feb 23 2008, one of the best days EVER!
It was my sister and my 2nd Jonas Brothers concert. Well, technically are first Jonas Brothers concert since it was for the Look Me in the Eyes Tour and they weren’t opening for anyone. Ok, so this is everything that happened.
So the day the tickets went on sale we got them! But we were literally last row back left corner. We weren’t exactly thrilled about it, but we were happy that we were at least going.
Later on that day we were in the car driving to the guitar store to see if they got my guitar in yet and we were listening to the radio. The guy said that the Jonas Brothers were playing not one but TWO shows at the Fox the same day because the first shows tickets sold out so fast. AHHHHHH! And if that wasn’t exciting enough they said they were going to be giving away a pair of tickets! Were they trying to give me a heart attack!?
When I got home I called the radio station like a million times with no luck ( I don’t know why I even try those contest I NEVER win) I looked at the clock and realized they were going to start selling the tickets for the second show they added. I ran to my computer to go on ticket master. The first time I didn’t know you only have like a minute to type your credit card numbers in so I lost the tickets : ( But the second time I got the tickets! I felt so proud of myself! I was to excited to even realize what row we were in. But I later found out we were in row Q. I had no clue what that meant because that’s when I was an amateur concert attendee.
ok fast forward to the day of the concert
My dad was taking us to the concert because my mom had to take my brother to his soccer game. When my dad asked us when we needed to leave we told him 1:30 since the concert was at 4:00 and we needed to drive their and get t-shirts. But of course we left at 2:45. He also told me not to bring my camera because we would be to far back to get any good pictures.
When we got there we ran straight to the t-shirt line was long but the time went by so fast. Everyone was so excited. When we got to the front of the line we picked are shirts and after quickly convincing my sister NOT to get the same shirt as me, we were on are way to find area seats.
This was no easy task. People were pushing like crazy. I grabbed my little sisters hand and pushed are way threw the crowd. I walked up to an usher and said “ Uh, I don’t know where to go.” he kind of laughed at me and gave are tickets to another usher who walked us to are seats.
We kept walking and walking and passing more and more rows and not stopping! With each step we were getting closer and closer to the stage. The excitement was building inside of me. I kept telling myself DON’T SCREAM! We sat down in are seats silently and stared at the stage for about a minute without saying anything. My sister and I turned and looked at each other and said “ OH.MY.GOSH!” We said it about 50 times! LOUDLY! ( I’m sure all the parents around us were wishing they bought ear plugs) Then one thought ran though my head, why didn’t I bring my camera?
There were people around us still being taken to there seats when and usher came to me and said “ Can I see your tickets?” My heart literally stopped. I knew it was to good to be true. The usher who took us to are seats must have made a mistake. I handed over the tickets and prepared myself for the worst. And to my surprise the lady handed the tickets back and said “thank you” and walked away. WHAT!? I was so happy the look on my sisters face was priceless. There was no mistake we were in the right seats! YESSS!
A Band called Rooney opened for them. About 25 minutes later the lights went out. There was one spotlight. Smoke filled the stage. That’s when I was then Kevin, Joe, and Nick come on the stage. AHHHHHHH! The first song they sang was Year 3000. I was the only person in my area singing that’s why people were staring at me but I didn’t care. After a couple songs they stopped and read a couple posters. One said D-Fence ( what the heck!?) Nick said “ D-fence. Im not really sure what that means, but, uh thanks!” Ahaha It was funny.
The whole concert was AWESOME! I’m convinced that they saw me from the stage.
When we were leaving one girls dad said how was the concert? And she paused and said “It was life altering.” HAHAHA classic!

Cell Phones + Radio Contest= high amounts of frustration
ERRGGGG! UHHHHHGGGGGG! AHHHHHHHH!
sorry just venting
My weekend consisted of me sitting by my radio listening to 96.3 WDVD (local radio station) trying to win Jonas Brothers concert tickets.
Like I said in another post the tickets are to expensive to buy so the only chance of going is if we win tickets or if some sort of miracle happens.
If you call in and are lucky caller 25 you get qualified to win the pair of concert tickets and on Monday morning they were going to pick a winner
Bbout every hour Joe Jonas would come on the radio ( it was a previously recorded message thing lol) and say to call in and be caller number 25 to qualify to win tickets to are concert.
So every hour my mom, my sister, my brother, and I would call the radio station a million times to try to be caller 25. You would think with 4 of us we would have a pretty good chance..................yeah that's what we thought.
On Saturday we spent 9 hours calling every hour trying to win tickets and on probably are 6Th or 7Th hour of calling something unbelievable happened. I was caller 24! AHHHHHHHH! NOOOOOOOOOOOO! Caller 25 was the winner! I was one off. Just one number away. I could not believe it.
Sunday went pretty must the same except we tried for 12 hours. And if your wondering if we won the tickets, we didnt.
My sister and I are so upset we knew it was a long shot but we thought we might have a chance. But whoever won the tickets we hope you have an awesome time at the concert!

You Have Got To Be Kidding Me
I was watching the news one night half asleep when I heard the lady on the TV say two amazing words JONAS BROTHERS! I sat up with the biggest dorky smile ever and screamed a huge girly scream. She said that they, meaning the Jonas Brothers, were coming to Detroit to play a concert on January 18Th. AHHHHHHHH!
I ran to my computer and google searched it to find any information on the concert. I think the website was the Detroit Free Press or something. I read the long article as fast as I could totally excited until I got to the price.................$400.
Apparently the concert was free when you bought a ticket for the auto show for $400. NOOOOOOOOOOO! I was crushed. I couldn't believe it. I diffidently could not pay that much for the tickets. If I had that much money I would buy the tickets in a second but its pretty much impossible.
I cant believe it, the Jonas Brothers are coming to Detroit I cant see them. Its heart breaking. I seriously need a miracle.

Ah Memories
* ok this is going to sound awkward but i have just been informed by my mom and sister that it was December 5th that I was the Jonas Brothers in concert! I'm such a dork how did i forget this!? lol. But at least I was only one day off. So that means on this day one year ago, two days ago my sister and I saw the Jonas Brothers in concert!
ok so on this day December 6th, exactly on year ago was one of the best days of my life.
It was the day that my sister and I saw the Jonas Brothers for the first time! We were seeing then in concert along with Hannah Montana. Are seats were really far back like back left corner last row on the side ( but its ok because I'm 5"10 and I would have blocked any little kid behind me) and were not complaining because we were just super excited to be there like we were counting down the days since we got the tickets.
Even though we were way way way back and we knew the Jonas Brothers couldn't actually see us we decided to make a poster. It said OH SNAP ITS JONAS BROTHERS! It was hot pink and we wrote in black marker, we had to go through 4 markers just to finish the sign. I guess we were just to excited so we weren't thinking properly because they obviously weren't going to read it. But oh well we were so proud of are little pink poster!
We had gotten are shirts the night before at the arena because they were doing a presale. So all me and my sister had to do after we got there was find are seats. My dad was going to drive us and of course he was late picking us up but its ok because we assumed he would be late, so we told him to pick us up to leave about 15 minutes earlyer then we had to leave are house. It was around dinner time and traffic leading up to the arena was really bad. It was like every kid and teenager was at this concert! In all the excitement of leaving and making sure I looked good for the concert I didn't eat enough food to last me through the concert. And if I don't eat I faint. I was sitting in the car and I looked around to see if there were anyplace I could get food. YES! MacDonald's! I said " Dad I'm starving could we please stop at MacDonald's?" and before he could even answer my little sister yells "NO YOU DON'T NEED IT!" I was shocked to say the least. I guess she was nervous that we might miss the Jonas Brothers because we heard stories of people at other shows that couldn't get in in time and missed there performance. So after 2 minutes of arguing I assured her we wouldn't miss them. Ah HELLO if i thought there was even a slight chance of missing the Jonas Brothers I would have just ate something on the way home.
Finally we were at the arena. I had never seen so many little kids in blond wigs in my entire life! But it was so awesome! You could tell everyone was excited like you could feel the energy in the room. After about 40 minutes of waiting in are seats the lights went off! The arena was pitch black! And all you could here was high pitched screaming! The lights on the stage turn on and smoke starts to come from the ceiling and we hear the intro to "Kids of the Future" one of the best moments of my life. I cant even explain how excited I was. My heart was pounding. I tried to tape as much as I could but I noticed my hands were shaking so much and my camera couldn't handle it being so far away all my pictures were a little blurred. Luckily they have those screens so the people in the way back can see the stage and the OH MY GOD! I couldn't believe I was seeing them in real life! I have only seen them on YouTube and on TV but there they were in real life! Basically In the same room as me! AHHH! My sister and I got so into the music that we were dancing around and screaming like crazy. About half way into there set I looked around and noticed that my sister and I were the only ones standing in are section and diffidently the loudest. I felt a little embarrassed for a second but then I totally didn't care.
Even though the concert was loud and crazy and exciting I felt really relaxed and at ease. It had a whole calming effect on me. It was so cool. I loved every second of it! I had never been able to see them in concert before just videos on YouTube of there concerts. Those videos are great but it was soooo much better in person.

AHHHHHHH! Jonas Brothers nominated for a Grammy in the Best New Artist category! I am so excited! This is like a HUGE honor. I don't think any one on Disney channel or anyone at Hollywood Records has ever been nominated. This is the same award that The Beatles won!
I knew they were going to announce the nominees during this concert that was going to be on TV but know one told me the boys were going to be there. I was watching Secret Millionaire with my sister(great show by the way) and during commercials we kept changing the channel because we wanted to see the Jonas Brothers performance on Christmas at Rockefeller Center (which we somehow missed).
I'm so proud of the Jonas Brothers and how far they have come. they went from playing for 15 people, maybe, to over 15,000 people! With millions if not billions of awesome fans! I bet the people at Columbia Records must be so mad that they dropped them from the label.
I have herd the rumors that sometimes the artists that wins Best New Artist at the Grammys usually just disappears after they win and people stop caring. I'm 99.9% positive that if they win that they will only become MORE successful and not less. And even if they don't win they are still amazing and its an honor to be nominated with all the other talented artist. But I still really really hope they win!

Australia
I saw the movie Australia and it was...ehh.
The actors did a great job, but the movie itself wasn't the best. It was very slooooowwww. The whole movie was literally almost 3 hours long! There was a lot of unnecessary dialogue between random characters. Nicole Kidman had a couple funny lines manly in the beginning of the movie and a couple throughout it which made the movie more entertaining.
The last time i went to the movies to see Twilight it was FREEZING in the theater. But this time it was like 100 degrees in there. I was Burnin Up! lol. Which made the 3 hours feel like 3 weeks!
But on a positive note the scenery was beautiful. They got lots of amazing shots of mountains, animals, and the desert.
Did any of you see the movie?
What did you think?

Football, Turkey, and JONAS
I watched the Dallas football game and the Jonas Brothers performance was so awesome! I liked how they did 3 songs and it was all upbeat and entertaining.
But the only part I didn't really like was how the Cheerleaders were so involved in the performance the Jonas brothers are perfect on there own I didn't think they really needed the cheerleaders. But they all still did a great job.
When I saw big rob it totally made my day! Think about it, what a crazy life he has, he started of being just a body guard, then he rapped on an album, then performed every night on the tour, and then seeing him on TV during the Halftime Show in front of millions of people was so amazing! He did an awesome job and his jersey was so cool!
What did you guys think of the performance?
