I'm not positive on the dates but it's extremely close. I also might
not have everything the way it happened in exact order but it all
happened.
This is my encounter from when i got to meet Joey and Chris of NSync
when they were in New York to do: Regis&Kelly; Rosie O Donnell;TRL &
106&Park.
Alright so i get on a bus and head out to Philadelphia to meet the girl
i was going with and from there we went to the subway station and met
with the other two girls that were going with us that were coming from
deleware so anyways we hop a subway to new york.
It was quite a ride but we got there and it was my first time ever in
New York so i was a tad nervous but not too much really.
So we get out onto the main sidewalk and get a cab which i had to ride
in front with the driver which wasn't too bad considering he wasn't too
bad looking and listened to good music hehe.
So he takes us to our hotel and along the way i see David Lettermans
sign and Times Square WWF New York and just so many buildings you'd
expect to see in NY that you hear about.
So we get to the hotel we're staying at check in get our stuff settled
in and head right over to the hotel where the NSync guys would be.
Standing behind the gates they had up on either side of the hotel steps
they weren't big or anything we could get around them but you know.
Sisqo was there but he had left the hotel before the guys got there.
We had heard that Justin was already there but we hadn't seen him yet
so we're waiting around and then after some time Black Escalades pull
up.
Jc was the first one to get out and that i saw.
Boy,with only about maybe close to 15 or so girls the screams were very
audible to say the least hehe.
I saw he had scruff on his face yet so that was kind of a let down but
it's all good his eyes had my attention than i saw Chris out the corner
of my eye and all the while i'm trying to take pictures but everyones
head was in my way cause you could fit maybe 4 or 5 people across
behind the gate and i was right behind those people so anyways i was
watching Jc cause Chris kinda went in pretty quick and than i saw him
JOEY EEK. His head was shaved though so i was like OMG what'd he do to
his hair but i still loved him though.
Joey came up walking closer to the other side and i yelled out his name
and i waved and said hi to him and get this
He smiled,winked,waved and said hi to me. I was soo freaking inside i
was all happy and giddy.
So then after Jc and Joey finally get in Lance is the last one to pull
up and he had Jackson with him his newest dog so he grabbed him and his
stuff and they all went inside and up to their rooms.
After they were out of site i jumped up and down so excited that Joey
acknowledged me i couldnt' believe it.
Everyone got sooo annoying though cause all i heard about was everyone
standing there talking about Joey and how bad he looked it was really
pissing me off and i just wanted to get my autograph and hopefully a
pic with him and leave that's how bad it was.
So anyways we're still outside waiting and we see Steve Joeys brother
and Todd and a bunch of NSync bodyguards and some of Sisqos too.
We heard Justin had left out the side entrance some went to check it
out but most just stayed where they were.
So while waiting this guy starts walking up the hotel steps and people
are asking for pictures and autographs and i asked someone "whos'
that?" they go "uncle kracker" so i'm like cool so i snapped a pic of
him taking a pic with a fan cause he was on the steps and to the right
and i'm closer to the left and we can't really go on the steps.
So more waiting and this car pulls up and i figured it was Sisqo cause
i remembered it from earlier.
So i expected him to be the first one out and so like a goof i snapped
a pic and it was some dude with sisqo but anyways Sisqo goes inside
comes out a short time later.
He's walking back to the car and i stuck my hand out to shake it cause
he was doing that.
I didn't think he saw me so i pulled my hand back;but than he walks
over to me and shakes my hand directly.
I was stoked he's awesome real nice guy.
i snapped a pic but it's dark so you can hardly tell it's him but so he
left than again and i didn't see him anymore after that.
So time goes by and i FINALLY see Joey in the hotel lobby i figured he
was gonna go out cause Steve hung out outside ALOT but anyways he's
teasing standing inside for a while and i'm nervous my stomach is
churning and so this boy that was with the girls i was with told me to
get ready and get what i wanted signed cause i had spoken with him and
i talked about meeting Joey and he said he'd help me out and i thanked
him a million times over and the girls too cause i know had it not been
for them i wouldn't have.
So anyways Joey comes out the boy says his name and i say it a little
louder and Joey comes walking over and at this rate my heart is beating
soo fast cause Joeys that close i couldnt' believe it.
So he said hi and was smiling and stuff and i said hi and i asked if
he'd sign the picture i had and he said sure and signed it for me while
we talked.
I told him it was my first time in NY and he's like "Really?" like he
was shocked or something and i'm like yeah and i mentioned my birthday
was like two weeks away and he's like "oh well happy birthday sweety";
I almost melted there.
Than i asked for a hug he gave me a hug and a kiss on the cheek and i
leaned in pulled him a little closer and whispered in his ear "everyone
out here is dissing you because of your hair but you know what i dont
care i still love ya" we let go and pulled apart and he's all like "aww
thank you" then he smiled walked off and was shaking hands and such i
was beyond thrilled til i saw people starting to take pictures then i
panicked.
I was like NO OMG I FORGOT to ask for a picture with him. I didn't cry
but i was close but we couldn't get his attention he was basically
about in the door so i watched him leave and the girls said they'd make
sure i got my pic with Joey before i leave NY.
So that was it for a while than we heard Chris was coming and i saw him
in the lobby but he was going a different way so i booked it to the
side and he came out the side entrance i snapped a pic and he left with
two chicks.
So that was basically it all night Jc and Lance stayed inside i never
saw Justin.
Around two something the girls wanted to go back to the hotel to get
some sleep i wanted to stay and said i'd stay myself but they didn't
want to let me there alone so i had no choice but to go with them.
So they went to sleep and i stayed awake i couldn't sleep not after my
encounter with Joey so i sat up til they woke up and we went back up
around 6:00 and it was overcast and sort of drizzling.
After a little bit one of the girls that stayed outside said Joey had
come back with two girls and he came in the side door and they closed
the garage but she said she heard him and she said he sounded really
mad said he was cursing in Italian. Ooo what i would've given to hear
that Joey talk Italian just the thought*melt*
Anywho; so we're all standing there then about 8:00am we saw the
bodyguards come downstairs to the lobbyand finally arond 8:30 the guys
started coming out.
Jc was first to come out all clean shaven that got me i started
snapping pics which turned out amazing i must say he looked great
better than great so he got in and left
Than Justin came out and signed a few autographs some girl got in
trouble though by justins guard cause she walked around to the front of
the barricade and quietly stood there behind Justin waiting to ask him
to sign her rollingstone mag and the guard told her"dont sneak up on
them like that we dont like it" Justin turned around and was nice and
signed her mag and she thanked him and went behind the gate again and
he left.
Lance was next he came out wearing sunglasses at first i was
dissappointed because i wanted to see his eyes i hear he looks
mesmerizing but then the sunglasses just kinda took to me and i gotta
say he looked good too and he waved a bit and went on his way.
Last at the same time was Chris and Joey . We were on the right side
this time Chris came to our side. The boy asked for a pic with Chris
and i asked if i could have one after he was done with him. Chris
didn't really say anything he just posed nice for the pics and went on
his way i thanked him anyways hehe.
So in the meantime Joeys on the left and i saw him and i called out to
him and he came over and was kinda smiley and started signing stuff and
i go to him"we got so caught up talking last night i forgot to ask for
a picture with you and we both laughed and so he posed for a picture
with me and he did some other pics and then i thanked him and they both
left.
Now i felt sooooooo much better and was soo happy and content.
So we ran back to the hotel watched Regis&Kelly and Rosie than we went
back to the hotel just to see if they'd come back cause they had a good
amount of time to kill before TRL which if they came back we never saw
them.
So while at the hotel we saw Kid Rock& Pamela Anderson walk out and i
got some pictures of them and i got her autograph. Kid was standing
there just signing away Pam signed a few and went in the car and they
took off than.
So we walked down to times square and killed time for a while got lunch
went into Toys R Us standing at our spots for TRL we made signs and
waited.
I saw the tape of us on TRL we must've made tv at least 5 times but the
guys came to the window saw our signs and pointed and smiled
acknowledging us. So we watched and when we didn't see NSyncs guards by
the back behind the crowd we left and caught a cab to where 106&Park
is. We think we ended up having Jc in front of us but we're not sure we
lost them at an intersection.
So we get there and someone comes out asking us where we came from and
stuff and we told them we were there for NSync and we've been seeing
them since they came into town and they invited us in and closed the
doors afterwards.
So we waited inside and than got seated eventually and we saw the Isley
Brothers and were in the crowd for the whole show and it was funny
cause Jc kept looking back and smiling shaking his head cause he
recognized us and Justin when they played the video for Gone when it
would get to saying Gone he's turn his head promptly back at us and
we'd be like "GONE". It was cute.
So then finally the shows over nsync guys and some people throw out
fumanskeeto shirts i didn't catch one. They also gave out tickets to a
concert for ll cool j or someone i can't remember but i gave it away
cause i couldn't go.
So we went back to the hotel parted ways with everyone we were chillin'
with that day and next day headed home.
I was thrilled that my husband left me go to New York.
I am glad i had the opportunity to meet at least 2 out of the 5 guys.
It has definately made me a better fan and i hope that anyone that has
a chance to meet them should definately take it up.
If you think like me"oh i'm never going to meet them" you gotta help
make it happen if you know friends or someone that's going to see them
where there could be a chance for you to meet them make plans with them
ask anything is possible but you just need to give it a push and help
yourselves along.
I have some pictures from NY and they turned out to be the best
pictures i've ever had and i am so proud of them.
So best of luck to all of you and never stop trying or dreaming it'll
happen believe me it will.
