and so the meet and greets continue...

September 3rd, 2008- Walmart Signing
I was one of the first people in line to see them and I have to say, JORDAN WAS FANTASTIC!!! They all remembered me and Jess (the new found best friend) and we had them sign the inside poster of the deluxe album with silver sharpie and they thought it was the best thing ever.
This was when I got really nervous with them, so bare with me.  I use to ALWAYS yell at Donnie when I met him.  Donnie went to go sign the inside poster with a black marker, well that wouldn't have came up, so I screamed, "NOOO!!!"  Scared the ever living out of him.  I smiled shyly and said "sorry."  He gave me a big hug and whispered, "thanks for coming back baby."  I was dead.  There was a hold up in the line ahead of me, so I was sort of "stuck" in front of Donnie.  Still embarrassed from having yelled at him, I gave him a smile and a "what's up?" (such a nerd!) he decides to take my hand and kiss it.  That's when I was buried.
While I was waiting for the line to move.
Next was Danny, who just said "well well well look who is back" and loved that I was going to frame my autographs. We made small chit chat, but he isn't my favorite so I tried to move on to Jon (Sorry Danny!!!! I love him now and he knows it, so whatever!)


Next came Jonathan and he is was soooo sweet. The line got kinda backed up again, so I ended up talking to him about the photo shoot for the inside cover.  Told him the plans for how to frame the two autographs.  He loved it and thought it was a great idea and how "no one thought of that yet."  I like to believe this is true.
Giving Jon side eye for trying to steal my marker.
Then laughing about it with him.
It was hysterical, which leads me to Joseph. Ahhh Joe. I finally really got a look at the blue eyes and was kinda speechless, but was able to get a few words out.  I told him how I loved him in "Wicked," he was phenomenal and if this New Kids thing doesn't pan out go back to theater. He laughed and said "thank you so much," pulled me into a hug and said he will "take my word for it."  Loooove him!!!


This leaves me with Jordan. I was nervous, because I didn't want to cry if he was nasty and I would have. Let me tell you HE MADE UP FOR THE EYE ROLLING!!! I got up to him and said "can I have a hug, even though I know you don't like them?"  He looks over at Joe with the saddest look in his eye and says, "I don't know why she is saying I don't like hugs." I tell him how he shouldn't roll your eyes at fans when they ask for hugs, because they have waited a long time to see them and when I got my eye roll I was crushed. I teared up and he made a sincere "aww" sound and said "come here baby, I love hugs." All was forgiven.


After we met them, Jess and I roamed around Walmart for another 3 hours.  We were there when they went for a pee break (not actually IN the bathroom...but ya know what I mean) and watched them leave.
Bathroom break...
On the way back...
Jordan was checking out towels on the way back...
TVs everywhere were playing the Target video...go figure.
That left us 3 weeks till our 1st concert.  Which officially starts our epic journey....
