Frosty
How do I even begin to describe last night?
So I went to Frosty the Show-man which is this local radio station's holiday concert. It was at Phillips Arena which is huge, it's where all the big acts come when they come to Atlanta. Anyway I wasn't planning to go because I'm dead broke right now... but Betsy was pretty convincing. She had kick ass seats, 4th row, and needed someone to go with her. Tada! I live in Atlanta so I'm a natural choice. Then Michelle pitched a fit because she wanted to go too so I hop on Ticketmaster and get her a ticket, plus $20.00 for parking! I think I ended up spending like $85-90 for something I wasn't planning to go to! haha but it was well worth it. Oh man getting to the arena was an adventure. I have a terrible sense of direction and was on the phone with poor Betsy was standing under the giant Atlanta sign waiting for us. Sigh, she probably froze. Thanks for waiting! Then we got Michelle's tickets at will call and headed in.
The acts that were scheduled were The Pussycat Dolls, Backstreet Boys and Will Smith. They had 2 minor opening acts, Marcos Hernandez and Relient K. Rhianna was the pre-show across the street in Centennial Park which I only heard in passing when I was lost but then she did come out to introduce one of the opening acts and sang like a tiny bit of "All I Want For Christmas".
The part where I think Betsy, me and definitely the girl behind us all freaked out was when JC came out and introduced the Pussycat Dolls. It was a "surprise guest" type thing but we'd heard rumors he'd be there so for us it more like a wish come true. LOL!
Then he came BACK out and introduced BSB... which was like UHHHHH heaven. AJ+JC=happy like you wouldn't believe. That girl behind us again, was screaming like a mad woman and I think we were in shockgasm. He said something like "I guess it's only appropriate that I introduce these guys." It's so cute how he's stalking BSB!
A few BSB pictures from the radio's website. My digital camera... I got a few pics and then "Card is full" because my MOTHER filled it up with cats and nature pics. Argh!
I hope Betsy got some really good shots. We were so close she must have!
AJ looked so cute in a little newsboy hat and a white shirt that just made him glow in the lighting. Sigh, I love him. Brian was hilarious, as usual. He just made lots of funny faces and acted out words to the songs. He spent a lot of time on our side of the stage. So did Nick, who was looking damn hot. I love his new hair cut. His guitar strap said HELGA, what's that about? It was a 6 song set, laid back for the most part, sort of a mini Never Gone show. OH and AJ stuck his tongue out... I don't know if it was for a long time or if it just stopped time in my mind... but he wiggled it and I think I died. Perfect.
Will Smith was the headliner and arrived from the back of the arena on a sleigh. It was pretty awesome actually. It's been so long since I've been to show that had pyro and gimicks like that so it was a fun teeny moment.
Footage of Will's entrance and Switch
He was awesome, and DJ Jazzy Jeff was there too! The whole audience sang along to the Fresh Prince theme. He looked good, he doesn't age, I swear.
Well I'm sure I have a lot more to say but my fingers are tired of typing! Love everyone <3 I'm in a good mood. haha.
