Backstreet EPIC POST <3 - part 1
Okay, I have finally recovered enough from the AWESOME that was Backstreet Boys to tell you ALL ABOUT IT.
They weren't playing in PDX this tour, so I had to go up to Seattle to see them. What I didn't realize was that:
1. It is outside (hence the "rain or shine" on the tickets)
2. It was the last tour date for the Boys
So, we got there essentially on time, parked on the grass and wandered in the general direction of where the cars were facing, hoping we'd find the freaking place, seeing as how there were no tents or signs or whatever. Luckily we ran into a couple girls OUR AGE and they wandered with us. We found it easily enough, wandered around, took our seats for the opening act.
WHICH WAS GIRLICIOUS. I am sad to say I actually knew who that was, unlike 90 percent of the people there. I felt pretty bad for them actually, because they were singing live quite well and they were dancing well, and it is not their fault that they had fugly outfits on and no one cared about them D:
See that's them. And I clapped but since it was daylight, it was pretty freaking obvious no one gave a shit. D: Poor girls!
Alas.
And then they were done and then we waited for like AN HOUR. Finally it is dark and 8:30 rolls around and I am slitting my wrists to keep it interesting, and then IT BEGINS:
They come out one by one as boxers (lame? OR EPIC BECAUSE IT IS JUST LIKE COOK/ARCHULETA!!!!!) (Uh, obviously the second option!)
My darling:
That's my future husband, Howie <3 from the back <3
And we're MEANT TO BE. I unfortunately didn't catch this on film, but he looked RIGHT THE FUCK AT ME and smiled for A LONG TIME and it was amazing. His eyes told me "I love you and we'll be together forever, or at least until you marry Shia." In fact, at one point he did a sexy dance (which I hope I have on film) and then pointed at his wedding ring as a reminder that there are obstacles to our love right now, but I must have faith in him. which I do <3
For some lame reason, youtube takes forever and a day, so I don't know if any of my videos are going to work until they miraculously do, but here is a fuzzy part of the boxing beginning: BLURS! IT'S LIKE WATCHING IT IF YOU NEEDED GLASSES AND FORGOT THEM! BASK IN THE UNIQUE EXPERIENCE <3
Like 90% of my pictures are blurry as well, but later on I figured out that a movie is worth A MILLION pictures and just stopped taking them altogether.
But before that happened:
And yay!
Anyway, it was really kind of difficult for me to figure out when is a good time to film and when is NOT because NOTHING IS HAPPENING. Like for example: IN WHICH NOTHING HAPPENS XD
but that's okay, I don't care. I regret nothing! NOTHING!!!
BUT FINALLY I START TO GET THE HANG OF IT, and yeah, I obviously love Howie the best, but actually I just filmed people that were on my half of the stage the most because it was hard to get a good view of the other half. BUT I DO ACTUALLY LOVE HOWIE MORE THAN THE OTHER THREE PUT TOGETHER. OKAY.
But anyway, here is part of "everyone" and while it goes fuzzy some of the time, it's not too bad for my filming skillz: YAYZ
And haha, I film Howie doing nothing over AJ doing something, but whatever, he was off key anyway, but actually I FREAKING LOVE THIS SONG, and apparently I only got a small part of it, but I DO LOVE IT: a world without you is only wasted space!
and then I am forced to follow Brian around (Brian is essentially my Cook of the Backstreet, but way more of a neutral vibe, like, I like Brian least, not because of any personality flaw, but because I think he looks like a troll and I just generally don't care about him. He was actually pretty funny this concert though. But yeah, my CookIssues are way more epic and drawn out, so it's different) ANYWAY, forced to follow Brian around because he's the only one on my side really, and he is being semi-interesting and then he takes five years to take off his freaking jacket: tra la la
Okay, so then there is "I Want It That Way" in which you can probably hear me screaming and singing off key, but hopefully it is indistinguishable from the rest of the crowd. I was completely P.O.ed at like, everyone in front of me, because believe it or not, that's an aisle and they SHOULDN'T BE THERE, the fuckers. Seriously,those people are probably from like Row 30 and they busted on up in my grill. GRR! But yeah, whatever, stupid drunk hos. ANYWAY, who cares about them, far more importantly, they said "Seattle" and then had us sing along and Brian was still amusing. See? The best part is towards the end, IMO, because of all the goofing around Brian does with the "tell me why" stuff XD
Okay, so then Howie, my darling Howie, comes to take the stage and TALK TO ME (and the others) about how this is the last tour date and "be prepared for anything and everything" AND HE WAS NOT WRONG. It takes a while for the funny part to happen, and of course I taped Howie's ENTIRE SOLO just because I love him so much, but yeah, THIS IS HILARIOUS, SERIOUSLY: :D :D :D Let's just say there's a freaking LEOTARD involved, okay?
Part II
and BREAK TIME. CHRIST this is going to be long!
