NOI woke up at about 6 AM on Friday May 29, too excited to sleep any more. I was leaving school right before lunch.
My grandma picked me up and drove to Sacramento. We spent the entire car ride talking about what was about to happen later in the day. I was getting more and more excited by the minute. I have always been a theatre/Broadway person because I started dancing when I was three years old. I never really got into bands/boy bands. The Grow Wild Tour was going to be the first concert I ever went to. I was beyond excited to go. It took me from the day they announced the tour to a week and a half before to actually be able to go. When we got to our hotel I sprinted up to the room and touched up a little so I was not all gross and sweaty from school. Our hotel was a few blocks from the Ace of Spades (venue where the concert was) so my grandma suggested we should walk down there to check it out. It was only about 3:20 PM and the doors did not open until 5:30. There were already some people there so I stayed in line and my grandma went back to the hotel. I was only second in line but the girl in front of me looked familiar. I tapped her shoulder and asked her what her name was. Her name was Kylah and that is when I realized that I knew her from twitter, @tbhpendery. Kylah was friends with the girl I was meeting up with, Jordan. We both ended up talking and texting Jordan at the same time. A few more people started to show up and soon enough, a girl Camille and Brittany showed up. Camille and I had been in New York at the same time but never got to meet up. Brittany was one of my first 5er friends and we had been planning to try and meet since November. By the time Jordan showed up we were all happy (sound freaking cheesy af). We then heard girls scream "ITS SAM". Sure enough Sam Pottorff, Alex Moore, and Gabe Martin were across the street from us and my heart stopped. Sam has a special place in my heart. You could say he was my sunshine and I was terrified to meet him.
It was extremely hot out and so Camille and Brittany went over to get water from a store. There was a food place next to where we were waiting and Sam went in. A few girls followed him in and it was freaking ridiculous. AT LEAST WAIT UNTIL THE CONCERT! I had to pee so badly. The thing was, I did not wanna go there because I did not want to seem like I was following him. I had to go so I gave up and went with Jordan. Brittany called me and told me there was a bathroom where they were but I was already in the parking lot. Sam walked by and anyone in a ten foot range of me could hear me shouting into the phone "I DONT CARE OF SAM THINKS IM FOLLOWING HIM I NEED TO PEE". Sam looked at me like I was crazy. i tried to avoid him so much that I almost got hit by a car (whoops).
We were all front row. There was a barricade blocking us from going right up to the stage. Me being only 4 foot 10....I stood on my tiptoes Dr for the entire three hours. Those three hours were the greatest of all time.
After the concert ended, the meet and greet began. The group of people I was with decided to go towards the back. While waiting the strap on the bag I had with me broke. The line up for the meet and greet was the same order as people performed. Run2Cover, The House On Cliff, The Weekend Riot, Bailey McConnell, (they added him there even though he was the host) Sam Pottotff, and then finally IM5. I had known THOCs and The Weekend Riots music before the concert so I was beyond excited.
Let me know if you wanna know more about the m&g other than IM5.
I was always the last out of our group to meet everyone. Jordan and I were waiting to meet Bailey and Cole was on his phone. So I confronted him about unfollowing ME on Twitter and he was being extremely sassy to me. You could say that we don't "like each other". When I finally saw them, I went up to Cole and hugged him, I asked if he got taller because even though I saw him four months prior, he seemed to of grown. He was still being sassy to me and said "No, you probably just got shorter". Dana and Gabe were watching and giving us an odd look. Then I said hi to Dana and hugged him. I complimented Gabe on his hair since he was going blonde and I'm a "fellow blonde".
Since I stood in between Cole and Gabe the first time I saw them for the picture, I stood in between Dana and Gabe. Right before Jordan took it, I felt an arm snake around my waist, Dana. It scared the crap out of me because he had to lean a little to do that so he was leaning on me a bit. I thanked them and Jill said that she remembered the shirts my friend and I made/wore at the San Francisco meet and greet.
My grandma and I were walking out the door when we went back and bought a shirt from the merch table. My grandma then said to Alex (Gabe's girlfriend) and Joni Vaughns "It was nice talking to you during the show". A little while later I learned that my grandma had spent the entire time we were there talking to the parents, Alex, and William Santanas father.
I know it's short but I didn't wanna explain every little detail so this is a summary. I'm currently on vacation at Disneyland. You have all been so sweet so thank you! And one more thing, do you guys need or want an update on my life? I use to post all these Authors Notes about my problems and maybe my depression but idk.Just comment below.
