  Here are some stories of plus ONE concerts that people have went to.  If you have went to one send me your story, I would love to have it!

 

  Here is the story about how we got Plus ONE's socks:

  Dec. 1, 2000

  We (My mom, Nicole, Elaine, Laura, Nicole and I) went down to Chico, CA to a friends house, who was going with us.  We got over to the church at 6:30 and the concert started at 7!  We got into the church at like 6:45 or so, need-less to say we got pretty bad seats.  They were in the balcony!  But we didn't know that Plus One's dressing room was RIGHT next to us!!!  We watched the concert, it was great!  Afterwards, we were standing outside and a lady came out and asked if the guys we were with would come in and help move the equipment.  So they did that and us girls were just sitting in the sanctuary waiting.  Then the same lady came and asked if we could clean up all the trash on the pews, so of course we said we would.  After we were done cleaning, we asked if they needed anything else cleaned up and they said "Yeah, but I don't think that you would want to clean their dressing room, would you??"  We were all like, "Heck YEAH!!"  So we picked their messy, I mean messy dressing room!  There was food all over the table!  It was funny.  Then my friend, Nicole found the socks,  it looked like they ran out across the pavement in them cause they were all dirty and you could see their foot print.  So she took them home and I couldn't believe this but she washed them! Not only once but 3 times!!!!!!  I was like why did you do that!?!  

  Well, after we were all done cleaning I went out to bring the car closer now that everyone was gone and Nicole came with.  One of my moms friends was outside and she was like, "Isn't that the Mexican guy (she was talking about Jeremy)?"  Before she even got it all out, Nicole screams and he started walking faster to the bus!  It was soo hilarious!!!!!    Well I think that is about it Hope Everyone likes my site!!!  Bye!

 

  These 4 Stories are from Alexis, Thanks again!!!

  I saw the guys in concert on November 9th, 2000 at their concert in Cincy, OH. That's when my friend and I got our pictures taken with Nate and Gabe!! They were so nice, so cute, smelled so good, and we were cold, so we stood close!!!!!!! Loved it. Nate and Gabe were running out to their bus and we spotted them and my friend, Lisa yelled "GABE!" across the parking lot. Gabe started jumping up and down with his arms in the air. And then my friend and I started running towards them and she yells, again, "CAN WE GET A PICTURE WITH YOU?" So they, of course, stopped and we approached them. Lisa got her picture taken 1st and, obviously, stood in the middle of the 2 of them. Here's their convo:

Gabe: "Man, it's cold out here!"

Lisa: "Oh, sorry!"

Nate: "That's ok, we'll cuddle." (HE SAID WE'LL CUDDLE!)

Then, she took her camera back from me and Gabe started walking on the bus, and Nate just looked at me and I then asked if I could have a picture too. Here's how that convo goes:

Alexis: "Can I have a picture too?"

Nate: "Sure"....(To Gabe) "Gabe, Gabe, come back here."

And Gabe got off the bus to take one more picture with me. I always makes a fool of myself and said:

Alexis: "Yea!! You have to wait for me!"

And when I put my arm around him, I accidentally lifted up Gabe's coat!!! OH NO!  Then, when Lisa took that pic, she said...

Lisa: "Thanks guys, have a safe trip."

Alexis: "Thanks!"

It was so special. One more time, when Gabe was so nice was when they were doing their autograph signing. Lisa was not in line but she was up by the table and Gabe was not signing an autograph at the time, so she went "Gabe, look here." And he did, and then some lady that was at the table started walking in front of her camera and Gabe leaned over so she could get the pic. WHAT A SWEETHEART!!! LOVE IT!!!!!!

April 5, 2001 -- Elkhart, Indiana (first show on the tour)

Fortunately, I was able to meet the guys with meet and greet passes before the show. You know, I knew they were really nice and sweet, but they were so INCREDIBLY sweet, I was honestly shocked. My sister and I were in the back of the line and we had to go down a flight of stairs to meet them. So, when my sister and I reached the bottom, the other girls were already getting their pics taken with them and having them sign things. Basically my sister and I were just standing off to the side waiting. Then, I look across the room and Gabe just starts waving "hi" to me! How cute is that? They all took individual pictures with me (except Jason and Gabe, I got a picture with the both of them), and I actually had a conversation with Jeremy and a little one with Nathan. Jeremy was basically talking about how much he loved this tour more than the other one because it was bigger and better. He was also telling us that the guys needed prayers because they were so nervous because it was the first time they've done that concert!! He also mentioned that he was worried whether us, the fans, would like the show or not. So, if you see them....tell them how great it is! Nathan and I were just talking about how I would be seeing them in a week. He's so cute...definitely my favorite. Jason asked where I was from and I told him "Ohio" and he asked "Oh really? Where at?" He genuinely sounded interested...it was sweet of him!

The concert was great! Rachael Lampa has such a strong voice, and Stacie Orrico was a great dancer. Plus ONE was awesome! Their voices were amazing, and their dancing ability was looking great! The only songs on their cd that they didn't sing were "Here In My Heart" and "My Friend." They did do two songs from different soundtracks, "With All Your Heart" (Pokemon 2000 soundtrack), and "I Need A Miracle" (Left Behind soundtrack). They also sang the hymn, "I Could Sing of Your Love Forever" in which they played instruments for (Nathan-piano, Gabe-guitar, and Jason-bongos/drums). Along with the wonderful songs, they had GREAT dance moves, they practically danced during all the songs!! All in all they were amazing.....are we surprised?

April 12, 2001 -- Columbus, Ohio

Well, I was blessed with yet another enounter with the guys. I got my meet and greet passes through the fan club (Big shoutout to Reba and Michelle....they're awesome!). On our way downstairs to see the guys, Shawn, the road manager mentioned we only had three minutes to spend with the guys and we could either get a picture with them or an autograph. I was kinda upset...

When we got down there, I talked to Jeremy first. I introduced myself to him, and mentioned that I had seen him last week in Indiana. That's when my sister came up, and he said that when he saw the two of us together....he remembered us! GO JEREMY!! (He was so sweet and sincere!). After Jeremy, I introduced myself to Jason and Gabe. Nate was next, but he and Nathan were talking to a couple girls. So, I kinda snuck to the end and walked up to Nathan. (The week before, when I got my picture taken with Nathan, it didn't turn out too well...my eyes were half way closed. To get a couple laughs out of the guys, I enlarged that picture and put a post-it note on top of my face and drew a little smiley face.) I went over to Nathan and told him I had something funny for him and I gave it to him. Both Nate and Gabe were looking over his shoulders laughing....it was so cute. Nathan laughed too! I succeeded! After taking a couple group pictures (I was standing next to Nathan) the meet and greet was over. And, of course....the concert was AWESOME!

After the show, the guys were having an autograph signing, so I got in line. After Jason and Jeremy signed my picture, it got passed to Gabe. Gabe started lifting up the post-it note, and I was "NO...you can't do that!!" pushing his hands away from the post-it note (you know.....joking!) So, he started laughing at me. When I got to the end, by Nathan, he asked me for my name, and he actually personalized my picture (which the bodyguards told us not to get done). He wrote: "TO: Alexis" My friend also enlarged a picture that I took of her, Gabe, and Nate back in November, and she had all the guys sign it. The picture got to Gabe, and Nate leaned over and said, "I remember that night!" And, my friend was shocked and said, "Shut up! Really?" And Nate goes, "Yeah, wasn't it really cold?" Then Gabe pipes in, "Yeah, just look at our faces!" Again......April 12th, was a night I'll never forget!!

May 26, 2001 -- Kings Island -- Cincinnati, Ohio

Well, of course, the Kings Island concert was just as amazing as the rest. Unfortunately, Saturday was the same day of my graduation so I had to rush after the ceremony to make it to the concert. Some girls spotted the guys all around the park during the day, but I wasn't able to.  Anyway, I did happen to talk to them at the meet and greet though.

Shawn likes to get the meet and greets over quickly. Which is his job, no hard feelings. I LOVE SHAWN! Anyway, so they had each fan go behind the gate individually and hand Shawn your camera. Well, here's what happened for my friends and I...

My friend Angie walked in:  She was nervous so the guys said "hi" and Nathan started talking to her. Then Jeremy was like, "It's Laura!" and the guys started laughing. We had no idea why he said her name was Laura, but it was quite funny

Then, I walked in:  I walked through the gate and said, "Hey guys!" and they all said "hey" or "hi" back. I walked to Gabe and gave him a letter from my friend and said, "Gabe, this is a letter from a friend who couldn't be here today." And he replied, "Ok, thanks." And, then Jason shouted from the other side of the group, "It's a love letter!"  We took the picture and I thanked the guys and left.

Lastly my friend Sara walked in:  She walked in and went straight for her favorite, Jeremy. Nate then asked her if she rode any of the rides, and she said that we hadn't because we just got here. And, then she was done.

The concert was great, we had third row seats. MAJOR EYE CONTACT! Nothing too special happened, it was just cool because both, Nathan and Jason had family in the audience. Unfortunately they didn't have an autograph signing after the show.

  This one is from the concert that I went to but my friend, Nicole wrote it.

May 4, 2001

After driving 2 1/2 hours to get to Sac from Redding and taking a  wrong turn we finally got to the mall where the guys were signing. We were later than we had hoped to be and there was already about 100- 150 people there. we went around to the back of the line (out the door of the mall) and this guy came over and asked us to keep the door we were standing next to clear because that was the door that Plus ONE was going to go through to get inside!!!!!!! We were glad then that we were later!!!! Well, Plus ONE was 15 minutes late, we all stood there and every time a van drove by we would be like, 'is it them?!' Then a beat up old vw van drove by and Carrie was like 'IT'S THEM!!!!' we just about died laughing!!! Well, after the bus came they sat in it for 5- 10 minutes before coming out. THEY WALKED WITHIN 2 FEET OF ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!First was Rachel, then Stacie, Nathan, Jeremy, Nate, Jason, and Gabe. and all of them smiled and said 'hi' what's up and hello to me!!!!! They did to most people they went past, but since I was right next to the door ALL of them said something to me. I was sooo jazzed!! When we finallly got in they were sitting in the order that they had come in. Stacie Rachel and Nathan all had black marks all over their arms cause they were drawing on each other. I didn't have anything for the girls to sign so I put my shirt on the table in front of Nathan. He looked at it then looked at his pen, they were both black and i could tell that he was thinking 'this is not going to show up!' I was like 'Oh! you have to use my pen!' (I had brought a white one) So he signed it, then was Jeremy, he was just going to use his black pen I was like no no, use mine. He had a hard time because the shirt kept moving, I had to hold it still for him. Then came........ NATE!!! Oh my word, they are all just as cute in person as in pics and on tv, and Nate was no exception!!!!!!He already knew that he needed to use my pen, I think he looked over when Jeremy was signing it. he was like 'Cool shirt!' I said! thanks and told him that we made one for them and he said "For real?!" then I told him that it glows in the dark and he was like 'That's so cool!' ahhhh, I could have died and gone to heaven right then, but good thing I didn't! then was Jason, I had to tell him to use my pen too. Since he wasn't talking I looked over at Gabe, he was looking back at me. I was like 'Hey. Nice hair' and he said 'thanks!' I was like 'It's.... different!' ( said this cause I didn't really like his hair, I just had hair on the brain and I wasn't going to tell him it looked funky!) Then I was like 'Oh, you do dye your hair. I wasn't sure if you did or not cause in some pictures it looks natural, but I guess you do! ( I kinda laughed cause he had a definate dye line) He laughed too and was like 'Yep, I do!' Then Jason passed him the shirt and pen and he said that he liked the shirt and I told him that we made one for them and that Nate had it. Then I heard Kathleen's mom telling Jason to look for the glowing girls (cause our shirts glow too) and he laughed and was like 'The glowin' girls!' It was cute! Afterward I realized that I had forgot all about their socks that I got at their last concert!!AAAAaaahhhhhh!!! I was soooo mad at myself!!! Anyway, we went out and watched them get on the bus  and they didn't leave so we went to our car and were like, how do we get to the church from here? my friend had directions, but they weren't so great. Then the bus drives past us and we started honking and waving out the window and then Carrie was like ' What are you doing?! Let's follow them!' So we started the car and then we had to wait behind this long line of cars and the bus pulled out before we got there, but Kathleen was like 'they went that way!' But she was wrong, they had gone on the right fork in the ramp instead of the left! and we got lost and spent like, 45 minutes trying to find the church, we stopped and asked for directions and the guy told us but he wasn't sure then this guy standing there was like where are you going? and he told us the right directions! , the first guy had been really wrong. I swear, we are all a bunch of blonds! So when we get to the church there are, of course, a bunch of people already there. Oh yes, did I tell you that the people who told us that it was assigned seating and so we thought that we would be in the 2, 3, or 4th row were wrong and that it is golden circle tickets and thats the first 12 row and that it was on a first come first serve basis? So, after expecting to be really close all these months we get there and we are on the side in the 6th or 7nth row. We were not to happy!!!! but I went down to the front to get pics and the security guy told me and my friends that as long as there was walking space between the aisles we could stay there, so I wound up in front of the first row. I was cool with that! We should have some really good pics!! Oh yeah, i forgot, this happened before the concert:  you know how everybody says that Nate's little brother look exactly like him? well, I decided that I was going to see if I could figure out who he was, I looked in the family section and I saw someone with Nate's hair color, but he was turned around. I told Kathleen that I though that was him and when she figured out which one it was she agreeded with me that it was Nate's hair color, just then he turned around and we were like 'OH MY GOSH THAT IS SOOO NATE'S LITTLE BROTHER!!!!! Nobody was joking that he looks exactly like Nate!! He is just a little chubbier, but then, Nate is a bean pole, so it's hard not to be chubbier, Travis is in no way fat, what a cutey! To bad he's younger than me! I wanted a pic of him sooo bad, but then I ran out of film and we had one left but we decided to use it on Kathleens camera cause hers is better but then her batterie wore down! We could't take pics of 'Written On My Heart' and When You Spirit gets to weak. . So afterwards we were standing around waiting for everybody to leave, talking about what kind of underwear the guys wear (when they were in all white we could see through the pants, Nate wears Boxer briefs and Nathan wears Tighty Whiteys!). I look over and these two guys come out of this hall and I think to myself, "I swear that is Nate's hair!' And then he turns around and I was like 'Guys! Nate is right over there!' and they all turn around and are like wow! you should go talk to him! But I said no cause I didn't want to interupt him since he was talking, and for all I know it could have been his family or a friend that he hasn't seen for a long time. Then I remember that I wanted to tell him that we wrote a message on the bottom inside seam of the shirt to them so I walk over there and everbody follows me ( what a bunch of wimps! They only went when I did!) but these other girls get there first and they talk to him then he starts talking to somebody that obviously knows him from a long time ago and I wait patiently for him to stop. then the other girls interupt him and are like "Nate!! Can we get our pictures with you?' and Nate is in a hurry so he's like, yeah, but make it quick, K? So I'm like Darnit! So the girls get their pics and while the last one is getting hers my sister or cousin, I'm not sure which one, starts shoving me at him, I'm like 'dude! Stop! Those girls don't want me in their pic! After that pic Nate's like, ok, only one more pic then I really have to go and he looks at me. I was soooooo mad that the camera wasn't working!!!!!! When he realized that I wasn't going to get my pic he started walking off and I was like telling him as he walked away and he was like 'yeah, yeah, we'll check it out!' He was in a really big hurry cause his manager or somebody was tell him to come on. Then he was gone. I saw Jeremy down the hall that Nate had come out of, but there was other people with him and a door and I didn't care about meeting Jeremy. So that is my story.

 

These two stories are from Krystle

.

   I have this picture of Nate, at the Visaila, Ca concert. At one point, the guys do this pose on the ground. Lynette told me to snap the picture, but my camera decided not to. Instead, I got a picture that looks like Nate died, it is hilarious. I have made a story that is Lynette shot him cause he wouldn't give her a hug. She went a long with it and when we told our friend at school, they thought we were telling the truth. If I  ever get a scanner, I'll have to post it. 

 
   Me and my friend Lynette ran to the third row, this was a concert where you snooz ya loose, well, while they sang written on my heart, they rubbed on some bandannas, as I'm sure they do at all concerts, and they threw them, and I was in the perfect place, I caught it, as well as Lynette. we missed the rest of the song because we were fighting over it. she has been sour over it since, but just reciently we singed each others yearbooks. I wrote,
         Hey Girl,
               Guess what, you can have the bandanna, no really. well I'll see ya around, plus one girls forever,
                                            love ya, Krystle.
 
When she read this she went wacko, she then started screaming read mine over and over, I did, it said
 
   Plus one foreva, Lynette, aka nate coles biggest and loudets fan. I gave Lynette the bandanna the next day and she wouldn't stop smelling it. Gross.
 
 

  Music_Angel_Faerie wrote about the Alameda County Fair Performance July 01,01:

  It ROCKED!!!!!!! We (my mom, 3 [2 girls,1 guy] friends/members of my youth group [we're all 15], and me) got there around 1:15 p.m. and my mom realized that she left the pre-paid tickets @ home so we had to stand in line for about 5 min. and it was really hot. Once we got inside my mom had us go on a scavenger hunt while she stood in line. We got back when +1 was getting out of the van. After a few minutes Nate came out, sat down on one of the front row benches, and began to play the guitar. Some girls were screaming for Nathan to come out, so Nate talked to someone on the stage and Nathan came out and walked over to the chain-link fence where everyone was and talked to some fans. After a while Nate and Nathan went inside and my friends and I went off to go have fun. I got a henna tattoo (on my arm) of a plus sign and a 1 (I was the first one to have it done but some girls copied me and said that they had it done first) which was really kewl. When we got back they were already letting ppl in but there was still an hour till the first concert. We found my mom sitting 7 or 8 rows back from the front and near the middle (the ppl sitting on both sides of us go 2 Gabe's dad's church). My mom ran out to the car to get the poster that says WE LUV PLUS 1. When she came back w/ it Joe (the guy in our group) stood up while holding the poster and shouted "I love Plus One" (he isn't really into pop music). Right before the show started Amy and Larry from 100.7 The Bridge came out and threw some signed frisbees into the crowd. The concert started out w/ this loud voice qouting the creation of the earth from Genesis. Highlights from the first concert:
*Nathan's beloved Michael Jackson impression
*worship time (it was actually really kewl)
*when +1 said that they were happy to be back in Cali and the dry heat
*Nathan wore a shirt that had the number 15 on it
*Gabe pointed and looked at me for like half a minute (which seemed a lot longer)

 

Sarah Ford's Plus ONE Experiences

 

It was may 2000 when I first heard of Plus One. My mother had heard their new song on ksbj christian radio station in houston TX.  The song was called written on my heart, and it had the best message ever the messsage was god that he loved us.I liked the song so much so I bought the cd. I was so exited when I heard that plus one was coming to houston tx for their promo tour,in fact my mother and her good friend took some of my friends and I to their concert.  We were listening to plus one on the way to the mall were the concert was. when we got to the concert hundreds of people were waiting for plus one to sing. so we had to stand towards the back next to some long tables.  when the guys came out on stage the crowed was so wild and screaming really loud.  They starte out with My life. That is my favorite song. they peforemed more songs of of their cd. When people left we got up to the front row for the seconed concert. we got to touch their beautiful hands that God gave them !  The time went alot faster the second time than ever as we screamed along with everyone. We didn't know it but there was the best was still to come after the concert ended.  then we stood in line for autographs, It was so cool to see them close up.  They signed two ksbj shirts and a tape.  Still the best to come. We happen to be standing near by when the guys got up to leave the table and I asked nate if he wouldn't mind taking a picture with us. can you belive it? He stopped by right there and put his arm around me.  We smiled and my mom's friend took the picture.  It was the best moment I had. then we went shopping and just as we were haning around in the mall in the disney store the exitment wasn't over yet. just as I looked up plus one walked by. It was the best concert I have ever attended. 

          Now I would like to tell you about my next concert I attended ,we had heard plus one would be peforming in the town were my grandparents lived. The concert was two days before thanksgiving but our school wasn't out yet. My wonderful mom let me skip school for that concert and drived me to lousiana were the concert was.  So my mom made it a family event.  My grandparents took my mom, 2 cousins and me.  when we got there we heard plus one warming up. Then we tryed to find a good seat, but then my grandmother found some chairs to set up in the back row, I know you are thinking that those are not good seats but they were.  Then we were allowed to go all the way to the front row. The exiting part was that Plus One touched my hand again ,  and they played longer than they did at the other concert at the mall.  after the concert we got there autographs again. when my cousin andrea got jason's autograph she said that she touched his foot and he said nuhuh that was you that touched my foot I was wondering who that was.  It was hard to say which one was better.  In concluesion any concert with Plus One is the best.

Mabel's Story

Ok, first of all my friend met plus one this past weekend and talked to Jason and told him that her friend, Mabel Macaden, said hi...to be honest, I never told her to, but I thank God she remembered me...and he goes "Mabel Macaden? oh, I know her!!! me and her e-mail each other sometimes. that's so cool that you know her!!! tell her I said hey!!!" (not every word, but close enough)...cool, huh? okay, here's my experience...
Man, I don't even remember all that happened...but umm....okay....I'm just gonna tell u about meeting them at Record Town and not about the concert because most of u have already seen the concert and know that it was awesome!!!! i'm just gonna say a couple things about the concert, tho...first of all, there was this lady there that had a shirt on that cracked me up...her shirt said JASON'S FUTURE MOTHER-IN-LAW...I thought that was funny....also, during the boys' performance of "The Promise", I promise (teehee) that Jason looked straight into my eyes...u shoulda seen me!!! I freaked out!!!! my friend was laughing!!! it was cool cuz I love that song and it has an awesome message and stuff so I had my hands up and eyes closed and was worshipping and when I opened my eyes to look at the stage, Jason was looking at me and smiling...I almost died!!!!....it was for about 2 seconds, but oh, well...*sigh*...hehe...okay, enough about that....except to say plus one's performance of "I NEED A MIRACLE" was so beautiful!!!! I could actually feel it, if u know what I mean (for those of u who've
heard the song)....when they got on their knees as if they were praying, it was awesome!!!! and Stacie Orrico's performance of "DEAR FRIEND"...wow!!! that was so moving!!! she plays piano beautifully!!!! not to mention her and plus one are incredible dancers!!! as for Rachael Lampa's performance of "BLESSED", the whole crowd was like worshipping...it was awesome!!! okay, I ain't gonna recount that 3 hour concert...it'll take WAY too long...I just wanna say
that it was awesome and I hadda blast!!! u would not have recognized me!!! I was wild!!! I got into the aisles and was dancing and jumping like crazy!!! at one point, I turned around and faced the crowd and was dancing happily, and the two people started imitating me...it was funee...and I thought Carman put on a good show....compared to this show, plus one's last concert was nothing!!! if that's even possible!!! okay, enough about that...ummm....okay...about Record Town...whoo!!! I am getting excited...alright, let me take a deep breath...okay, okay....I got myself under control....wait!!! I wanna listen to plus ONE....let me go put their cd on...okay?...hold on...alright...I got it playing...oh, great, now I'm even more excited....okay...alright...I'm ready.... okay now I'm singing along as I'm writing, so this is gonna take forever, but oh, well.... okay, we left school at about 1:45 (because plus ONE was supposed to be at Record Town at 3:00 and it was pretty far from my friend's house)....well, my friend's dad picked us up and we picked up her little brother, then went back to her house to change.....well, her little brother took forever to get ready and then some guests came over, so we didn't leave till pretty late...and there was a lot of traffic, so we didn't get there till 4:00 (it started at 3:00, ended at 4:30)...well, it turns out that it was a good thing we were late (God works in mysterious ways)...turns out that plus one had arrived 30 minutes late cuz they got lost (hey, so did we...)...and by the time we got there, there were barely anybody in line (u weren't allowed to go in line more than once, so everybody was standing in a crowd on the side)...there were a lot of people there...but then again, a news crew had been there earlier and we had missed it...darn!!!..oh,well....well, we got in line...we were so excited!!! I saw a friend of mine a couple of people ahead of us...she let us cut...but then she got kicked out of line cuz she had already gone thru once (haha lauren..lol....love ya!!!)....well, we were getting closer...I couldn't see them, tho..I was like "where are
they?" ...then the girl in front of me moved her head and I gasped!!! it was them!!!!...the boys were smiling and signing autographs and stuff.... well, Jason paused and looked up and was looking around...well, he looked at me (I was still back in line) and he smiled and waved!!!!....I was like "ohmygosh!!!" I smiled and waved back...he smiled again, then looked back down at the cd he was signing....then me and my friend were like "ohmygosh!!! we're almost there" and we started pulling out our cds and cameras and stuff...the people in front of us had already went and when we looked up, nate was looking at us and waiting and smiling....we were like "oh...sorry!!!" he laughed and was like "it's okay"...then my friend talked to him, he signed her cd, then she moved on ...I was in front of nate!!!! ahhhh!!!! he was like "hey, how are u?" and I was like "I'm
good...how are u?" he's like "I'm good, too..." then smiled that killer smile....well, I guess he made me so nervous I forgot about my cd....I was like "oh!!!" and I started fumbling around...I guess I looked pretty stupid cuz he was laughing at me...it  look me awhile cuz I had so much stuff in my hands...I was like "I am so sorry" and he was like "it's okay, don't worry about it".....well, I handed him my cd and he signed it and passed it on...I held up my camera and was like "can I take a picture of u?" and he was like "sure!!!" he smiled that killer smile again and I took a pic and he started laughing (I have no idea why) ....I was like "don't u ever get tired of smiling so much?" (cuz everybody had been asking him for a pic) and he started laughing again (man, that laugh is adorable)...well, i was like "thank you" and I moved on to gabe....well, my friend had been ahead of me and she had met gabe first, right? well, she had this like ancient camera that took like ten seconds to actually take a picture...so gabe was sitting there with a smile frozen on his face (cuz her camera was taking forever)...like 8 seconds later (her camera still hadn't taken the pic) he started laughing (I LOVE his laugh!!!) and was like "gosh!!! how long is this gonna take?" and at that moment, my friend's camera flashed...it was funny...nate looked over and was laughing... then gabe turned and looked at me and put on this puppy-dog face and was like "is your camera like that, too?"...i started
laughing and i was like "no, mine's more modern.." and i smiled at my friend (she was SO embarrassed, but i thought it was funny)...anyways, i asked gabe "can i take a pic of u?" and he was like "yeah, go ahead" and he smiled and I took a pic...then i moved on to jason...man, he is my favorite and i talked to him the most, but i don't remember what i said exactly...but i smiled at him and gave him the thing i had gotten for them and he was like "hey, thanks..this is cool..."...he looked at it, but the guy behind him (the manager or something) gave him the evil eye and pointed to his watch, so he goes "i'll look at this later" and smiled that adorable smile...then he said something (i don't remember what) and i replied something(i don't remember that, eithre), then we both laughed and i asked him for a pic and i took one...he was like "bye!!! enjoy the show" or something like that...then i moved on to jeremy...now i was cracking up cuz he had this funny look on his face...i dunno what he was looking at...he was staring into space or something..so i was like waiting for him to return to reality (lol) and he looked at me and goes "oh, hey...sorry!!!"...he took me cd and signed it and passed it on...i asked for a pic, then took one...i said something to him, too, but don't remember what...then i went on to nathan....he stuck out his hand and i shook it (that boy has some soft hands..lol)...i was like "hey, nathan!!!" and he was like "hey!!!"...he goes "are u coming to the show tonight?" i was like "of course..."...then he said something else, but don't remember what....then i asked him for a pic and took one...i said bye and i moved on to rachael...she looked adorable!!!
