This was last year in July of 2000. My friend was a BBMak fan because of their new hit song "Back Here." I didn't really know who they were so I wasn't too excited about going to the free concert and autograph signing that they had at the Mall of America. But when they walked on stage, all of a sudden I had a huge burst inside of me and I was automaticly in love with BBMak. I was screaming and jumping everywhere. They had a rope thing (ugh i can't think of what it is called) around a big circle up to the stage of where BBMak was. (This little circle place is called the Rotunda, but they changed it to Sam Goody Central!) The only people that could go inside the rope things were people with wristbands, even though we didn't have any, we were still pretty close. My friend Rachel and I had a sign that said "BBMAK COME "BACK HERE" WITH US!" Mark and Christian read it and I totally freaked. When they got done with their songs and stuff they dissapeared to get ready for an autograph signing. The security people ect. told us, don't run it doesn't matter how fast you get there..." and I didn't even hear the girl finish. We had to go to a different part of the mall to get to the place that they would be signing autographs at. I ran like the wind to get up close to the new stage type thing that they would be singing autographs on. We stood really close to the door that we thought BBMak would be coming out of, but it ended up they went in another door and blocked us off when we tried to run to the new door! I was so mad I thought I was going to be able to get up close to them! We didn't have wristbands, but we heard that they would be letting in 100 people after the 500 with wristbands. My friend and I were running all over getting pics of them. We were next to the autographing stage once and Rachel yelled over and over and over again, "CHRISTIAN CHRISTIAN CRISTIAN!!!!!!" over and over I swear she didn't stop for a long time until he finally looked over and said, "WWWHHHAAATT???" really loud. Rachel and I waved and smilied and then freaked out. We still laugh about it today because the look on his face was so funny! We have a picture of him yelling it at us, it's really hot and hilarious! I think she said his name a little too many times. The security guards threatend to kick us out if we didn't calm down. Us personally! We waited what seemed like thirty minutes but it was about three hours until we got to be in line to meet them. It seemed so short because I could look at them for hours and the time would just fly by! This was the time that I was going insane. We were in line and when we got up close they were so hot! I was freaking out inside and Mark... ooh you could see all his muscles on his tight shirt and everything. When we got up close, about to meet them Rachel yelled at Christian, "Will you marry me?????" He just laughed and turned to sign another autograph. When we got up on the platform to meet them, Christian was looking all around because many chicks were yelling his name. I sat there in shock just staring at him for like thirty seconds and his HOT hair and ooh man! He finally looked up at me with this look on his face that was saying -Are you gonna say something?- I went "Hi" and shook his hand in shock. He said Hello with his sexy accent. His sexy hot hair looked like something i just wanted to eat up or cut it off and take it home with me. Yet we wouldn't want Christian bald, now would we? OOH! Well next in line was Mark, somehow I skipped over him, I don't know how but I did! I'm very mad at myself to this day for not talking to him! I don't know what happend. Then Ste was next. At this time I wasn't a very big Ste fan, but he was the sweetest of them all. He shook my hand and I said Hi and he said, "Hello. Goodbye and thank you for coming." OOh they're sexy accents! This is a day I will never forget. I met a whole bunch of girls there who I still stay in touch with today!!!! BBMak is wonderfull and we all love them!
