NKOTBSB Geneva

**real quick before i start, i just want to say sorry!...i know i said i would be posting more often then totally dropped of the face of the planet...i went on vacay and when i got back work got crazy again...ill tell you all about it in an upcoming post...but for now lets get to the good stuff!!!**

to kick off the month of may little sis and i hopped on a plane and flew over to geneva switzerland to see NKOTBSB!!!...once we met up with laura and anne marie (you girls need some cool blog names! haha!!) and had an amazing backstreet adventure!!!...

sure i can sit here and tell you all about geneva but i feel like most of you just want to here about the boys...sooo ill keep this short...geneva is a beautiful city but not much to do...also its very expensive to eat...the first night little sis and i paid 60 chf (about $65) for 2 grilled cheese sandwiches and 2 waters...yeah, i know...umm and we'll leave it at that...concert time!!...haha!!

the day of the concert we took the bus to the arena (public transportation is really great there...nothing like the nasty A train...haha!)...im not sure what time we got there but we waited a while before we were let in...it was a beautiful day so i didnt mind so much...eventually vip check in started (we went all the way to europe, of course we got platinum vip!)...we were let in and we learned that they had some problems with the truck the stage travels in so soundcheck would be a little different...i never would have imagined how different (read as awesome) it would be!...

we were taken upstairs to the mezzanine level and waited a little more...then we saw the boys coming down the corridor!!...eeekkk!!!!....they stood on the steps in front of us and explained instead of the run of the mill sound check (a couple songs and 4 questions) we would get a special sound check...question and answer only!!...woohoo!!!...of course this ment that our 4 "get another boyfriend" signs were useless but thats okay...we still ended up holding them up...aj loved em!...but im getting ahead of myself...anyway...right out of the gate we made our presence known!...laura was the first one to shoot her hand up when the floor opened for questions...so she was the first one to ask one!!!...

after a few more questions went by little sis got to ask a question too!!...i was so proud of her for doing it because she backed out the last few times...she also got to tell them that we came from jersey!!...jersey is always a great ice breaker!...whenever we mention it they always have something to say...after the q&a was over we ended up having a long convo about the good ole garden state with howie (brian and aj chimed in too)...howie was joking with us and asked "what exit?", brian looked at him like he was crazy, but we answered without missing a beat...haha!!...then we told him that we went to the same high school that andrew fromm went to and he was really excited about that little tidbit (go hawks!! haha!)...

one more funny thing that happened...well little sis and i thought it was funny, im not sure if anyone else would...before picture time howie started fanning his shirt out and smelling himself...then he went over to brian and said smell me, do i smell bad? and was shoving his armpit in brians face...haha!!!...little sis and i were dying!...its so funny to us because she does that to me ALL THE TIME!...haha!!!

next up was picture time!!!...no barricade!!! yay!!!!...little siis went before me and after all the jersey talk asked them to fist pump...nick and aj didnt get the memo...haha!...i went right after her...obviously my 3 seconds with the boys went by waaaayyyy too fast...i said hello to all of them...nick winked at me which totally made me swoon...and i asked them to squeeeeeze in for my picture.... im extremely happy with how it came out!!! 

after picture time was backstage tour time with AJ!!! yay!!!....his tour was way better than nick's...aj was very entertaining...he gave us a lot of good info and told some funny jokes...going into the tour we had a giant list of questions we had for them...and during the tour me managed to ask a whole bunch of them...i was proud of us!...we also made sure we were front and center the whole time...i had a lot of fun during this part...we totally ran the show and i loved every second of it!...haha!!...as you probably know, everyone had to come up with some sort of pose for our picture per aj's request...since it is one of my dreams to dance with a backstreet boy i asked aj to do an everybody pose...i love the way it came out...but not as much as i love little sis' picture with him...i totally thought of that pose for her...its amazing!!!...one last thing is i totally blew my chance to get a hug from aj....but i dont want to talk about it cause i get mad at myself...okay ill talk about it...after he signed my vip pass he stepped in closer to me and put his arm around me but like an idiot, i stepped back...i thought he was coming in for the picture and i didnt want a regular picture so i panicked and backed away from him...ugh! im sooo stupid!!!...its weeks later and im still kicking myself...ugh!!!...haha!!!

the concert itself was general admission...we were debating were to stand...some of us wanted the front of the stage...and some of us wanted the head of the stage...so we ended up with a compromise and stood in the middle right next to a gate...this ended up working out well for us because danny came out that way during tonight  and brian and aj came through that way for shape of my heart...when danny came by i took a picture of him when we was directly in front of me...so he looked at me and said "do you want a picture with me?" so i said "yeah ill take a picture with you!!!"...he then took pictures with my girls and no one else...i wonder if its because we seemed to be the only ones in the whole audience singing along to the new kids songs...maybe they noticed...who knows?...also during the concert little sis managed to ask aj for his pocket square and got it!!!!

well thats it folks...another amazing backstreet adventure in the books and many more to come!!!...i had a blast per usual!!...for more videos from soundcheck and the concert please visit laura and anne marie's youtube pages...also you can check out lauras recap of the event over on her blog!!
