Greetings from Tucson

To understand the importance of this event, you must understand my admiration for JC. I have been a fan of
JC for 7 years. JC is my all time favorite singer/celebrity and means the WORLD to me. I have met
him twice before [once at a club, the other at an in studio with Kiis fm] and though I got a pic with him
once NEVER an autograph. Got it? LOL Ok... Yesturday, my best friend Megan heard that JC was
going to be filming an episode of "Greetings from Tuscon" and that it would be filming today. We were
totally in shock when we went to get tickets to find that there were still some available. We got our
tickets, and decided after classes we could go down there and see - TV show tapings are fun anway ya know?
So we get there at 4:45 [call time is 5:00] and we are numbers 5 and 6 in line. We see a bunch of security so
we ask if JC is there - and they say YES! Apparently the episode is like top secret so that there would not
be a bunch of fans or something. Then, to our surprise, we overhear them saying JUSTIN is in the
back hanging out with JC!!!! We quickly made friends with security and persuaded them to let us meet them.
[more on that later].

So, we are let in and Megan and I get led up to the front row to watch the taping thanks to our pals with
security. During the course of the taping, they had a mini talent competition and Megan sang again and won!!
She won a T-Shirt from the show and I won a little stuffed animal for dancing. We also each won a
postcard from the show and were just basically anticipating JC at this point. So then he finally
comes out to shoot his scene [SOOOO FUNNY!!! SKIP AHEAD FOR SPOILERS!] and the audience coordinator
urges everyone to applaud when he was done. Since no fans knew about it, there were only four of us there
including Megan and myself. The rest of the crowd were older people, families, and a boys college wrestling
team. Me and Megan started applauding and screaming and he came over and smiled. Then they played 'Blowin
Me Up' and the security guys made us get up and sing it in front of JC!! LOL It was such a party.
So fast forward to the end of the show. The cast came out to do bows and JC comes out and smiles and is
being the cutie he is when he notices Megan and myself dancing. He looks over and starts mimicking our
moves!! I almost passed out! By then people realized who he was and started yelling for autographs - but he
came to ME first! He signed my postcard and I asked him how his solo CD was coming along. He looked up and
said "Great! It's actually going really, really well. Thanks so much for asking." Then he smiles and I smile
and we have a smiling party. Megan handed him her t-shirt and his bodyguard held it up to himself and JC
laughed and was like "Yeah man thats what I'm talkin' bout!" LOL While he is signing another autograph, I
asked if he had recorded any songs with Tony and he stopped signing, looked up, and gave me the cutest
most surprised smile. I think he was shocked I knew who Tony was LOL. So he says "Yeah, we have recorded a
couple songs actually - they are gonna be great!" So then I smiled again and thanked him and he waved and
moved down the line.  Justin never came out and made an appearance, but he was in the building. LOL So close,
yet so far away.

So that was my amazing, wonderful night. I am so giddy right now!

SPOILERS
In the show, the daughter graduates high school and wants to move into her college dorm. Her father
refuses, so they decide to get her an apartment. Her father is extremely overprotective and sends her
grandmother to live with her and play guardian. [Her grandma is one of those 'cool' old ladies LOL] When
the daugter comes home one night, her grandma and two old guys are playing poker and she flips out. Enter
JC. JC plays the daughters landlord, and a complete stoner. He walks in and dances and looks at the old
guys pills and makes a bunch of little comments about doing drugs LOL. If you know MMC, picture him doing
Wipeout only high. The scene is HILARIOUS, and there is one point where he is on the bed and jumping - let
me just say you see how JC would be in the act of making love - thats all I wanna say about that LMAO.
I would definately watch the episode though, JC is priceless!
