I won't post anything about what I think about the movie for now, because it just came out about an hour ago ... and I doubt anyone has showtimes for 1AM. But I was lucky enough to see it last night, and OOOH man. I can't get over how AMAZING it was.

Sure, compared to the books [don't shoot me], the movie was terrible. But like, after looking back on the movie, it really was PERFECT. <3

And RPattz of COURSE is the love of all loves. <3 Ever.

GO SEE IT. AND ENJOY!

My heart; let me introduce you to Matt Prokop.

 

Yeaah. I never really had anything to write about in my livejournal...my life is just that boring.
Although, I did see my heroes for the first time a couple days ago, and I just needed to write about that.

A little background - I have been a Jonas Brothers fan since November 2005, so you can guess how excited I was that I was finally able to make it out to a date [thank you Jonas for coming to Canada] on July 4th, 2008.

We left for Toronto on Thursday the 3rd, and got there around 10:30 AM. We went straight to Much Music, because we heard about the lines and insane crowds, and wanted to check it out for ourselves. Once we got there, we saw how true that really was. Blocks and blocks of people were there, dancing, blasting Jonas, and screaming. After meeting up with Katie to give her the tickets to the show, we walked back to the car. We knew there was NO way we'd get close to the stage, and we wanted to get good seats for the dress rehearsal. On our way back to the car, we ran into 2 Much Music VJs, Devon and Sarah, and the drummer from Camp Rock! That was exciting. We took a few pictures and ran to the car.

After checking into the hotel and fixing ourselves up, we drove straight to the Molson Amphitheatre. We met up with Gillian and Cassandra to get our wristbands, and got straight into line. After about 3 hours of waiting, everyone was just sitting down, dying of heat. That is, until someone screamed. No one knew what was going on, until we all looked up at the balcony in front of us, and saw NICK JONAS waving at us! The next couple hours, everyone was standing right at the edge of the barricades, waiting for the other boys. Kevin came out a short while later, and everyone went insane again. He stood out there for the longest, just looking at all of us, grinning, and waving. At one point, the men filming the BURNING UP TOUR 3D MOVIE asked us to scream really loudly, because he was trying to get Joe to come out onto the balcony. Finally, Joseph came out and waved. It was amazing.

The funniest thing was probably when some girl who was just at Ontario Place, and not at the Molson, came up to us in line and was like ‘What are you guys waiting for?!’ And we told her that the Jonas Brothers were playing there that night, and she FREAKED, and called all her friends, ahahaha. Lame.

After 2 more hours, they finally let us inside. Or that's what we thought. We all RAN really fast, and reached yet another barricade, where they made us stand for another 2 and a half hours before we got inside. As we were waiting in this line, the boys' 2 black SUVs drove RIGHT BY us on their way down to Much Music to film the Live @ Much. That was so exciting, because it was literally a foot away. That's the closest I thought I'd get. Even though everyone was COMPLETELY squished together in line, people all managed to just sit there, blast Jonas, look at teenie magazines, and complain about the heat until they let us in. About half an hour before we got to go in, Live Nation people walked down the rows of people, putting wristbands on the people that had been there the longest. The wristband [I got one] ensured that we'd be on the floor for the dress rehearsal. Then, we could go in. At least, that's what we thought AGAIN. They came out [the Molson security guards] and told us that we had to WALK in, or they'd make us stop and wait again. And what do you know, everyone ran. People should know that Jonas Brothers fans are insane, and don't do anything if it involves waiting any longer. So we FINALLY got in, and bolted to the security lines. We weren't allowed cameras on that night, so we had to check out bags. We were really mad at this point, because people who had no bags to check were running in [it was first come, first serve], so we were thinking we'd have horrible seats. After about 10 minutes, we checked our bags and cameras and ran the fastest we've EVER run into the Amphitheatre. We were shocked, because after all that, we ended up in the SECOND ROW on Nick's side of the stage. Although about a minute later, we realized that we were so close there, it would be hard to see Kevin and everything on the other side of the stage, so we ran back, and got 10th row right beside the end of the catwalk, which is amazing because they are on the end of the catwalk ALOT.

As we were waiting for the show to start, we heard screams from behind us. So we turned around, and JORDAN FRANCIS [Hasta La Vista guy from Camp Rock] was standing right behind us, taking pictures and signing autographs. So we ran up to him, got pictures, hugs and autographs on our wristbands. As we were walking back to our seats, we saw Michael Seater [Derek on Life With Derek], Selena Gomez [Alex on Wizards of Waverly Place], Maya Kibbel [the Jonas Brothers’ best friend], and Danielle [unknown, but rumoured to be Kevin Jonas’ girlfriend]. So we went over and talked to them for a few seconds, and then went back to out seats. After half an hour or so of sitting there and listening to all the girls [and a surprising amount of boys] screaming, the curtain on the stage dropped, revealing the JB drums, guitars, and stage. Everyone SCREAMED, and there was a big opening thing with fire, and a man coming out onto the stage with a torch. They played this little video on the screen about the Jonas Brothers being lost, and using OnStar to help them find the Molson. After they “finally found it” it showed them walking in, and then the screen went black. After the band [GARBO! <3] came out and played instrumentals, there was silence. Everyone SCREAMED once again [seems like a trend at Jonas shows] and then ‘That’s Just The Way We Roll’ started playing. Before I knew it, I saw the middle of the stage disappear, and there was something coming out of it. After watching it rising for another couple minutes, I realized what it was. KEVIN, JOE, AND NICK JONAS COMING OUT OF THE STAGE. I really couldn’t believe they were RIGHT THERE, because I was so close to the stage, and I was in shock, literally. I almost couldn’t breathe. As soon as they got onto the stage, they ran off and ran RIGHT TO THE END OF THE CATWALK. At this point, I was within arms reach of them. Reaching onto the catwalk with a million other people, we all tried to get their attention and grab their hands, with only a few succeeding. :D

Throughout the entire show, they kept looking out into the audience, and a few times, each of them MADE EYE CONTACT WITH ME, and I was so excited. I couldn’t believe that it was happening.

The Setlist [which didn’t change between the dress rehearsal and the concert] was:

"That's Just the Way We Roll"
"Shelf"
"Hold On"
"BB Good"
"Goodnight and Goodbye"
"Video Girl"
"Gotta Find You"
"This Is Me" with Demi Lovato
"A Little Bit Longer"
"I'm Gonna Getcha Good" [Shania Twain Cover]
"Still In Love With You"
"Tonight"
"Year 3000"
"Pushing Me Away"
"Hello Beautiful"
"Love Bug"
"Can't Have You"
"Play My Music"
"Burnin' Up"

Encore
"When You Look Me In the Eyes"
"S.O.S."

After playing the entire concert, they left the stage, and I was in complete shock. I couldn’t believe that had just happened … and that I was that close! We then ran to the bag check, grabbed our stuff, and went back to the hotel. We went for a midnight dinner run, and then spent the rest of the night spazzing in the hotel room, barely getting any sleep. We turned on the TV, and watched the Live @ Much that they were replaying. The craziest thing was that during the show, they kept reading signs that they saw out loud – and we saw those that morning walking down the line! It was craaazy. We were so pumped for the next day. Because remember – what we had just seen wasn’t even the concert!

The next morning, we woke up around 8AM, and got all ready to go. However, the next thing we knew, it was 11AM. We had all fallen back asleep! We grabbed our cameras, wallets, and whatever else we needed and BOLTED to the car. We drove to the Molson Amphitheatre, and went straight to the merch table. After spending $120 on merch, we met these really cool girls. They had their mom with them, and she was just as excited as them, it was hilarious. She was singing all the songs along with us, and raving about how gorgeous she thought Joe Jonas was. We took a few pictures with them, because they had cutouts of the boys’ heads [even Frankie!]. After an hour or so out there, we went in to the actual grounds, and checked out everything that was going on. We went in and waited on a bridge that overlooked the bridge that took you backstage. It’s the bridge that the tour busses had to go over, so we waited there. As we were waiting for the busses, we saw the boys’ stylist, vocal coach, camera crew, and more. After a while, we got kicked off the bridge, so we moved to a little area, and stood against the barricade that was blocking off the area with the tour busses. After about 20 minutes of waiting there, I saw 2 girls with brows hair wandering around, and I was like ‘WAIT A SECOND!’ I said [pretty quietly] ‘OMG, its Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato!’. So me and the girl next to me yelled ‘SELENA! DEMI!’ and they turned around and smiled and waved, and then went into their tour bus. A few hours of waiting and doing Jonas sing-alongs, and the boys’ tour bus pulled in! They weren’t in it, though. It was just crew and their equipment. So we were talking to the security guard [Security 643, Dan] and he made us leave. However, he PROMISED us that if the boys came out to talk to the fans there [which he swore they wouldn’t], then he owed us a meet and greet. Sadly, they never came out. K

So after a while, we were told to get in line. We didn’t really want to, because we already had seats so we didn’t have to rush … but we did anyways. Then this man with a video camera came by and was asking who was at the dress rehearsal the night before. We told him that we were, except I needed to be 21 or have a guardian with me to be on camera, so I couldn’t do it. It turns out that the man who I talked to about it was the man who films the boys’ crazy YouTube videos [example: http://youtube.com/watch?v=MTQ3gh6I1oU] Haha, I love that one. Anyways, so we were talking to him, and he was gushing about how amazing the boys were and how nice they are. The girl who ended up getting interviewed used a random woman from the crowd as her “mother” and that put the others and me in a horrible mood, because that wasn’t fair at all. That interview was going on the Official Jonas Brothers YouTube channel. But I think I’ll still be in it, at least, because the man did a video sweep of the crowd around her.

Anyways, after a few hours [yes, I realize how many hours over the past 2 days we spent waiting to get in to the 2 concerts], we were allowed in. We went straight to the merch table, because there was no line. I needed to get more, because they didn’t have everything outside. So once I turned around to leave, I’m sure there were like 1000 people behind me, it was intense. So then we were walking around, and we found a Z103.5 tent that was blasting the Jonas Brothers CD, and taking pictures of people beside a giant Jonas Brothers cut out. After that, we went in and found our seats [which were a lot closer than we though, but obviously not as good as the ones the night before…]. We sat there for – you guessed it – an hour or so, and then we heard screams. These are very common when the Jonas Brothers are in the area. So we looked around, and saw Jordan Francis [J-Man, as the Jonas’ call him], and Michael Seater walking around. So we watched them for a little bit, and then we sat around, talking to the people all around. People at Jonas Brothers concerts are so nice … haha. It’s awesome. So then they played the Jonas Brothers’ Breakfast Breaks commercial on the big screen [http://youtube.com/watch?v=i6ZXY9YW6bU] which of course brought on screams, and then everything went dark. Demi Lovato’s band came on, and they played a little intro … leading to DEMI running onto the stage! Her Setlist was:

"That's How You Know"
"La La Land"
"Day Dream"
"Get Caught"
"Until You're Mine"
"Party"
"2 Worlds"
"Forget"
"Get Back"

Then Demi left, and there was around 45 minutes of … cleaning up the stage, setting up for Jonas, and … SCREAMING. After all the waiting, the Jonas Brothers finally hit the stage again. [You can see all Demi and Jonas pictures on my profile . And videos to come]

After the show, we left the venue and sat on the lawn waiting for Justine’s parents. There were hundreds of people out there on the lawn in front of the Amphitheatre, and every couple minutes a car drove by blasting Jonas music, and pumped everyone up again. Everyone waiting there were looking at pictures and videos on their cameras, looking at their merch, and SCREAMING. I was pretty used to it by then. Every few minutes as well, there were SCREAMS coming from the parking lot because they seemed to think that the Jonas Brothers were in every single car that drove by. However, I did manage to catch a glimpse of curly mops in the back on an SUV leaving the show that night, on the way to Detroit. :)

When we got back to the hotel, we were all wearing out Jonas t-shirts, and were questioned about the concert on the way up the elevator. There were these people [I’d say 23ish? 2 guys and 3 girls] asking how the show was. All of them except for 1 girl knew who the Jonas Brothers were, and they were trying to get her to realize who they were. It was funny watching those people singing their songs and such.

When we got back up to the hotel, we got some money and went down to Subway for a midnight dinner again. We got huge drinks [our throats were dead from the past 2 full days] and we spent the whole night watching videos and looking at pictures, again. 

Most amazing 2 days ever.
