The End of Krystal

So my friend Jen and I went to Sac this weekend. We were hoping to run into BSB, but no luck. We hit the biggest mall in the area and the only excitement we had there was some girl squealing, "There's my hottie," grabbing her friend's hand and running in the opposite direction as us. We looked after them trying to find who they were running after. So we wanna know if she found her hottie. Then as we were passing the food-court, a security guard fell into step behind us. The scary thing was that we were role-playing while the guy was following us.

Then as we were arriving home, we heard and ad on 107.9 The End saying that KRYSTAL (BSB's opening act) was playing a one night only show at a local club. So we find out where the club is and head off in that direction. We get there an hour before the doors open, just like we did for BRIAN McKNIGHT. We were the first one's there. Well, we go off and find a bathroom, and when we get back half an hour later, there's a line. So we get our spot and then The End shows up. Then the girls and guys are separated into two lines. I found this strange. All around us were high schoolers. (You could tell by the guys, some of the girls it was hard to tell.) So we get closer to the front and see that everyone is getting patted down, even these girls who were wearng skin tight clothes. So I hand the woman my ID, knowing I've got a camera on me, and she stares at it and then asks if it's really me. She then asks for my age. When she hears my answer of "20," she says I'm too old! How much does that suck? Okay, so it's an 18 and under club, but by doing that and performing for that crowd KRYSTAL is dooming herself. Not all BSB fans are teenagers. The BOYS know this! When they started in Europe in '95, their fans were 15-19. Now we've grown up with them!

So as Jen and I were leaving, we decided to go drive by the Holiday Inn because neither one of us knew where the Boys were staying and figured that...well, we didn't know that they were staying at the Hyatt! But as we were getting off the freeway, we saw this super-duper massively long stretch white limo getting on the freeway. BSB sighting? Possibly, but we're not holding our breath!
