Portland, Maine 9/21
Before the Show!
Okay so me, Alicia, Caitlin, and Susan decided that we wanted to go up early to this show so we could try and meet the idols by the buses. Wellll Susan and I jumped out of the car when we got to the arena cause we really wanted to see Kat and Kellie come out of the bus. So we are standing by the barrier and Bucky randomly walks by us and I was like holy crap Bucky and no one else even noticed. It was weird. So then Alicia and Caitlin found us and we waited around for a while and Chris came out. He came over to us and signed something for my friends and he was like don’t I know you guys and Alicia was like umm well we met you like 7 times before and he was like ohh ya! And he just stood looking at us for like 2 minutes and was like well can I do something else for ya and we were like no. lol. We just wanted to see the girls. After Chris Taylor and Ace came out ans signed stuff. THEN Kellie and KAT came out of the bus together in sweatpants and sweatshirts. They looked so cute! Lol They waved and stuff and then went inside. The didn’t sign or anything. After that we went inside to see if we could get meet and greet passes. The lady was really nice to us and gave us 4 of them. We were waiting to go inside and Bucky, Elliott, and Paris randomly walked up the stairs right behind us. It was really weird lol. So we went inside and saw that there were only 9 idols there. Of course it was Katharine who wasn’t there. It was just our luck. The first 7 shows we went to she was sick and now she was sick again. It was very very very upsetting. Well Ace was first and umm he is sooo amazingly cute! I’ve met him so many times before but I swear he gets hotter every time lol. He told us that Kat would definitely be performing which made us a little happier. Then it was Mandisa, Paris, Lisa, and Chris. The girls told us that they missed us a lot and Chris was like what are you doing here lol. Then it was Kellie! She was like aww how are you guys doing and she told us that she missed us. Then I told her that I had a whole bunch of letters and was expecting a scrapbook in the mail from the KellieBeans and I was going to give her them on Saturday in Bridgeport! She was excited. Then was Taylor, Elliott, and Bucky… I didn’t really talk to them but Taylor said it was nice to see us again! Lol. Wellll after the meet and greet we found the rest of our friends who were coming up later and left to get food and stuff. when we came back Ace was by the buses and he was signing millions of autographs and taking pictures. He wouldn’t leave until everyone there got one! He is the nicest guy ever! After that we went into the arena. We had semi-good seats. They were like next to the stage 10 rows up.
Concert
The concert was pretty much the same. In the beginning Mandisa gave a secret shout out to the Junkies! Lol. Ace was amazingly hott as usual. Lisa and Paris were perfect! Bucky was well Bucky! Lol. Kellie was so cute! After her first song she asked Jason (the light guy) to turn the lights on so she could see the audience and he did. She was looking over to my side of the arena and there was this little girl sitting like 5 rows in front of us. She had a huge pickle poster with a picture of Kellie’s head on it and Red High Heels on its feet. She thought it was the coolest thing ever! She took it from the girl, signed it for her, and gave it back. The little girl was sooo cute! She walked back up to her seat crying because she was so excited. ( I have video of this and I am going to upload it later today!) After that she sang her last song and then it was intermission.
Wellll after intermission Chris came on. Well I haven’t watched Chris’s set since the second show. I swear its the best time for a bathroom break. When people hear he’s coming on the bolt back to there seats. I saw Renegade (which is my favorite of his) and it rocked! Next was Elliott. I looooove there duet together. It is one of my favorite songs of all times. Elliott is so cute! I just want to give him a hug whenever he sings lol. After the rest of his songs the boys came out for Patience. That song always makes me cry for some reason lol. Welll I was really nervous during Patience because I wasn’t sure if Katharine would be performing because I knew she wasn’t feeling well. Then the lights went out and we heard the “2,3,4”. OMG I flipped out! I don’t think I’ve ever screamed that loud lol. I had already gone 7 shows without seeing her and it was pretty much torture. She sounded amazing! Think was just like I imagined it and Somewhere Over the Rainbow was sooo good. It gave me goose bumps! After Katharine was Taylor. His set was the same as it always is except he was even more CRAZY than he usually is (if that’s even possible). He looked like he was having so much fun up there!
After Taylor was the group performances. It was sooo funny! Kellie and Bucky came out with parrot heads on and Elliott came out with HUGE feet and a HUGE sombrero on his head. Then it was Living in America and that was awesome!
This concert was amazing.. The only downfall was not knowing where we parked the car after lol

Providence, Rhode Island 9/22
Before the Concert
Soooo I left work at 12:00 so I could meet Jen and Liz and so we could wait for the buses. Wellllll it is not a good idea to let me drive to another state by myself. Wellll mapquest hates me and gave me directions to the center or Providence and not to the arena. Of course I didn’t notice until I was almost there. I decided I was going to make up my own way there… BAD IDEA!! I drove around the city for like 45 minutes and then I saw the tour buses. I was verrrry excited cause I figured I could follow them to the arena. Well I was wrong. I lost the buses and started freaking out again! Wellll about 30 minutes after I lost the buses I finally found the arena. I ran to the buses and found my friends. None of the idols had come out of the buses yet so I didn’t miss anything. Well we were standing there for a while and the girls bus was right in front of us. Someone was writing messages on the windows but we couldn’t tell who was doing it. One of them said “I Love Chris” lol. Mandisa, Lisa, and Paris came out of the bus a little after that and went into the arena. Paris kept walking back and forth talking on her cell phone. Then Kellie came out of the bus and went into the arena. Kat came out a little after and went right in too. She was carrying a box of tissues which meant that obviously she wasn’t feeling good again L. Wellll then Ace and Chris came out side the fence to sign autographs and take pictures. It was CRAZY! People were screaming!! I got a few autographs from Chris and then we got away from the crowd. When people finally left we were sitting on the sidewalk and Kellie walked out to the buses with Lisa’s brother. We yelled for her to come over to the fence because I had a present for her. It was a pink red sox hat. There was like a cement barrier and then a fence and Kellie couldn’t get over the barrier so Billy came and got it from us. I told him to tell her not to wear her Yankees hat anymore lol. He said that he has been telling her that for 3 months now! Lol. He brought it into the bus to her and she came out and thanked me! Then they left all “secretive”. Kellie had a hoodie on and a hat and they walked down the street. You’ll never guess where they went! TO THE MALL! Lol. After that Jen and I went to get food and then we met up with the rest of our friends and went into the concert! When tickets went on sale we could only get single ones cause they were selling out sooo quickly so I had a seat by myself. I was in like the same exact place I was the night before which wasnt bad anndd my friend Liz was letting me have her 2nd row seat for Katharine so it was all good!
Concert
Well the concert was pretty much that same as it usually is… I’ll just get to the good parts! Lol Welllll Mandisa gave my friend Jackie a shout out on stage and we all freaked out! Kellie and Buckys duet was AMAZING as usual! I got video or it actually and I will upload that soon. At the end, after they do that dip thing Kellie got up and was like “You almost drooped me!” lol. Her other 2 song were awesome too. She really moved around the stage a lot!
Thennn it was intermission and I met up with all my friends. 4 of them had after party passes for that night which we were sooo excited about because Jen and Susan (kat fans) were hopefully going to meet Katharine. Then me and my friend Jessy decided to go on a walk for Chris cause I really wasn’t in the mood to sit through his set. I swear we walked around the arena 100 times! Then I made it back to my seat for Elliott. I love Elliott. He is so cute! Welll then it was Patience and I bolted to the floor cause I knew Kat was next. I made it up to the front and Liz was still in her seat. Well I ran through the front row cause everyone was standing up and I launched myself over the seats. Thank god they caught me! So ya I can pretty much say I moshed at an AI concert lol. Welll Kat came out and was amazing! I was sooo freaking close to her! She kept looking at us and waving. We were pretty much freaking out! When she was about to sing Somewhere Over the Rainbow Jen and I screamed “We Love you Kat” and she was like aww I love you too!! At that point I pretty much died and I don’t remember how the rest of the concert went! Lol I do remember that Mandisa wore her Junkies shirt on stage for the finale which was awesome annd Bucky gave his cowboy hat to Liz. Ya I like cried cause she is the BIGGEST Bucky fan!
After the Concert
After the concert the 5 girls that didn’t have after party passes waited outside. We were secretly on my friends speaker phone in her pocket so we could hear everything that was going on. Kat, Kellie, Elliott, and Taylor weren’t there. It was really sad cause we really wanted Jen and Susan to meet Kat. Well we were just listening and all of a sudden we heard screaming! Mandisa ended up giving my friend Jackie 4 after party passes for Bridgeport and that meant that all of the Junkies that were going got to go backstage! It was reallllly exciting!
Kellie by the buses saying thank you for the hat!
