Well I had been waiting for this date for AGES. I had started to count days since August the 22nd. My friend's mum had agreed to line up for us at 4 in the morn for our tickets. To tell you the truth, our seats weren't that bad. They were floor seats of the Sky Dome. but near the last few rows. ANYWAYS. Me and my friend had gotten to the Sky Dome about erm... half an hour prior to the show. We were PSYCHED! Well the doors finally opened, and we didn't bother buying souveniers before the show, cos it was so packed.

So we got to our seats. We were just sitting there and talking, when this guy like AJ came along and sat beside us. He started a convo with us. So finanally I asked for his name. He told me it was Obie. I was like kool name. We kept talking, and stuff. Finally I asked him who he was, because I saw all these passes around his neck. He told me that he was the BSB's saxophone player. I didn't believe him.. (stupid me) Me being the stupid fool that I am, sed "Yah and I'm Madonna's mother" He just made a weird face and started laughing at me. I was like ok whatever, so I just took a picture of him, just in case he was the sax player. Well the show was about to start, and he left. Lights went out and EmJay started to do her thing.. Obie came back, and we still talked (eventhough) it was practically yelling) I asked him, "If you are their sax player, would you be able to get us backstage?" Well this is what he said. "Well I can't guarantee you that you'll meet them, but I'll take you backstage for a little peek."

We followed him, and well we saw what was backstage. 2 big tents, where they changed, and some other stuff. I took a pic of the 2 tents.. (don't ask why) It was time to get back to my seat, cos the show was about to start. (By then I still didn't believe him.. EVENTHOUGH he took us backstage.. it was right at the door entrance though) I heard some people laughing while I was on my way out... so I looked over.. and I saw Nick, Brian, Howie, AJ, and Kevin making their way onto the stage. I was PSYCHED and speechless. all I could do was elbow my friend and yell NICK.. He turned around and said "Hey whassup?" I was in heaven, he also did that thing when he kisses his fingers and makes the peace sign.. my friend didn't say anything untill we got back to our seats. Throughout the concert we were thinking and pondering (i know it's the same thing) if Obie actually was their sax player. Well the time came that they introduced their band.. and well. Obie was their sax player. I have a pic to prove it too. It was an awesome nite. (Oh and for those who don't know who Obie is.. he's the band member with the funkey hair) Lates ppls. KTBPA!!!! Kat
