Do I really need to say anything? Well, lets put it this way...I was in love at first sight. No, this was not the first time I EVER saw him, but this was the first time I ever saw him in person.
* I got to Sunfest and the backstage was in a good place, enough for my mom to figure out something to get my either backstage or SOMETHING for me to meet and get an autograph from Ryan.
* I get there 4 HOURS early, just to make sure that reserved seating, which was sold out, wasn't blocking a good view. There was people there who were already there 2 hours before me...but I still got front row. I little to the right, but stil front row!
* Sat through 2 o.k. but mostly boring acts....while getting sunburned slightly.
* Finally Ryan shows up and this stupid security gaurd tells everyone to get like 874952754 feet away from the gate and I said PSHT! I went back to my seat which was basically where I was anyway!
* The people behind me knew someone who was backstage and they said they would try and get me backstage...they ended up getting thier daughter backstage only, so I was really bummed, but hey.
* The concert was flipping AWESOME!!!!!! Would I wait again for 4 hours for my seats? I would wait 24 hours!!!! It was perfect!
*After the concert everyone was waiting for Ryan to see if he would come back out..but I didn't think he would...so while his band was cleaning up the stage, I asked for thier autographs. Then I saw Ryan's water bottle there and I BEGGED, BEGGED, BEGGED the guy to give it to me..but he didn't and ended up giving it to this other girl ike 1 min later! I was like wow, that was rude. She didn't even ask for it, and I was there BEGGING!!!
* I did end up getting the set list. This 9 year old girl and I grabbed it at the same time, and I gave her this look like Nuh-uh, Its MINE! And she let go! I was like yeah...thats right!
* Then nothing else was really happening where I was, so I was like lets go on the other side of the backstage on the road side (his tour bus was parked on the other side of the road so I thought that is where he would go, and if he didn't there was only one way out and he would HAVE TO go through that side).
* We went stood about 15 min... then Ryan came out went to the side of backstage where the stage was AND ACTUALLY SIGNED AUTOGRAPHS where this mob of girls where. I was like wow, do you want to get killed!?
* So my mom and I thought (and since I've talked to people on the internet who say he is really nice and likes to stay and sign autographs) we thought that since he was signing autographs over there he would sign for me and these 4 other girls.
* He was about to get in the van and I was like 'Ryan! One autograph, please!'.....AND HE CAME OVER!!!
* This is when I got an autograph, a picture and hug!! OMG. It was amazing. When we took the picture, I had my hand around him and he had his hand around my waist and I was like going to melt! And finally when he was going to leave, he gave me a hug and he smelled sooooooo good, especially when he JUST came off stage after performing!
THANK YOU RYAN, FOR MAKING MY DAY/WEEK/MONTH/YEAR!
Hopefully I can somehow win tickets to get to be in his dressing room (Yes. The radio station here is actually doing that!) so I can meet him again. It was such a pleasure and he is so sweet and deserves everything he gets!
If you guys haven't met him, I'm so sorry. He is absolutely the nicest celebrity I have met! He is so humble, down to earth, funny, outrageous, talented, H-O-T, generous, and just amazing. And this is exactly what makes a good husband, so this is why I am going to marry him.
Future Mrs. Caitlin Kelly Marino Cabrera.....
LOVE IT!
