 | (the first 2 were typed by me - emily) CONCERT ONE: PLUS ONE/ONE SMALL COIN - Our first concert, was on July 29, 2000. it was the best one we had went to so far. It was an outside concert, and everyone brings their own chairs and stuff. We got pretty close which was awesome! the concert began and everyone was screaming and singing along! ahh. it was great. one part that was funny, was when jason was talking or singing, i cant remember which, but he was standing and gabe ran up behind him and jumped up on his shoulders! it was hilarious! haha. another cute part was when there was a girl in the front with purple hair and Nate goes, ' is that your REAL hair?! ' it was funny! haha. anyways, when the concert was over we ran for the autograph line. we got pretty close up front which was a good thing cause when we looked behind us the line went all the back to the end of the huge parking lot. we even got to meet some girls in front of us. anyways, we got up there and met the guys! (VERY SWEET GUYS by the way..) and i got my brother's baby blue hat and got the guys to sign the in side of it. it was soo cute cause they were lik trying to move around with the hat cause they didnt know where to sign it. (sorry, the little things make me smile most..haha) anyways..my mum got pix of each of them up close and they turned out AWESOME!! it was great! haha. CONCERT TWO: PLUS ONE/JACI VELAQUES - our second concert, was in august 2000, and we got front row! yeah babay! lol..it was awesome cause we figured that Jasons fam was behind us and Jason came over and stood in front of us and began talking to his fam. and when he was finished i got to say hey to him it was great! another awesome part was when we saw Jeremy walking out of the bus. and it looked like he was shaking his butt on purpose when he was walking. so me and my friend were like 'shake yo booty!' haha. it was crazy! the performance was AWESOME! the guys did GREAT! the cool part was when Gabe and i think Nate?..they climbed up on the stands that held up the platform while they were singing! it was s cute! haha..and at the end we ran over to their bus and got to wave to them and stuff. and this one fan runs up to my friend all psyched, she shook my friend and was like 'i caught Jeremy's towel!' she was freaking out! haha..i dont blame her! i wouldve been to! anyways, that was out experience that day. the third concert we went to..ill let debi tell you about it! it was great!!
