Hi!
My name is Kath and I'm a 17th A.J. (and backstreet) Fans forever! I want to tell you about the yet best day of my life that happened on september 17th 2001. Like
probably all of you, my biggest dream is to meet them. Talk to them at least once to tell them how much they helped me in hard times and stuff.I remember, it was in
march 2001, me and my best friend went to take our tickets for the show in montreal planed to be on July 26th. When I got my ticket, I remember saying to my friend: you
know, this is going to be a special day. The worst was that I was right! As you know.. the tour was postpone because of A.J.'s drinking problem so our show was moved
on september 17th. Back in montreal there was a contest from a local tv station and I decided to try to win a chance to attend to the interview the day of the show. On
september 5th, I won! I just couldn't beleive it. I won the chance of my life to finally see them without any tv between us. I tromatised my mom 'cause I screamed so loud
and she felt like I was dying... (wich wasn't untrue hehe) I called all my friends and I was crying on the phone, telling them that I was going to see my Alex after 6 years
waiting. I went to my best friend's house on september 16th. We wanted to sleep but we were to exited.. and we wanted to be at the station early so we didn't sleep at all.
We went there and had the best time ever with all the fans everywhere. I felt like this was the place I was meant to be. We were talkin' to everyone, even though we didin't
know half of them. We sang, we screamed and have so much fun all the morning and the beggining of the afternoon. When it was time to go in I was cryin'... I was SO
nervous and excited. It was such strong feeling I can't even decribe it with words. So we went in me, my bestfriend, another friend of mine and her sister's friend. I sat with
my friend and the other girl while my best friend (who enter before us) sat in front of us. When they arrived I thought I was going to cry but I didn't. I was so impressed to
finally see them while my friend Irina was scratching my arm because Nick looked at her. haha. During all the interview I was looking most of the time to A.J. and I know
he saw me. But I never could talk to him. I was SO deceived. I cried a lot when we went outside. A girl that I know was waiting for me outside. we were talking beside the
station when a saw a bunch of girls on each side of de street in front of me. The girl and her dad went with the girls so me and my best friend followed them. I didn't even
understant why I was waiting there. I felt lost when I heard scream. Sundenly 2 or 3 security guy ran through the street and pushed the fans away. Then I knew, it was their
vans. The first one passed but I didn't see (or reconized) anyone. In the other one, there was A.J. I saw him very weirdly but I saw him closer then ever! Biside him, I think it
was Brian but I'm not sure. In the tird one there was Nick and a girl. I was in shock I just couldn't believe it! After that we went supper in a McDonald as the real A.J. fans
we were :) Then we went to the Molson center but it was early. We stayed there talkin' to some friends and fans. We went inside, bought some souvenir and then went to
our place. The first part was Krystal who I love very much. I sang and danced then went to met her. I have her otograph wich I'm really proud of 'cause she's such a
wonderfull girl. I gave her the gift I had for A.J. and she told me she would give it to him. I was almost crying again. Because I talked to Krystal I missed Sisqo's part except
"the thong song". Then we were waiting for THE show... When all the light went down I felt so free. It's kinda weird I know but.. I feel so myself when I'm at their concert.
They started with the song I listened always before and imagine myself screaming: TIME FOR THE SHOW TO BEGIN!! (Everyone) I danced to almost all the songs. If I
could give you an advice if you wanna get their attention: Buy a lightstick!! lollll I got the attention so many times just by dancing with it. For exemple, in one song (I don't
remember wich one) I was moving my arms from side to side with my lightstick well Brian saw me and did the same! When I noticed him ('cause I was lookin' A.J. hehe) I
sent him a kiss and he also did the same! it was so cool! I really enjoyed the show. At the end A.J. said : We have only time for 2 more songs. So I thought "Shape of my
heart" and "The call" but there was Drowning that they were supposed to do. I really love this song so I was pretty sad when they said bye without doing it. I had tears in
my eyes when I put my stuff in my backpak. Then the light went down again and I heard the first notes of Drowning. After only 3 notes I started to cry like a new born child.
I sang the song (well try... it's kinda hard to sing while crying you know ) and it lasted all the song. You know, this was the best day of my life ever (Until I talk to them)
only because I experienced new feelings that I hope everyone will feel at least one in their lives because this is the best thing ever!
Love, Kath
