Hey everyone, I just wanted to share my dc eperience with all of you (sorry if its a bit long).
So we had to drive 8 hours to get to Toronto for the concert Saturday and we left home at 3 in the morning in order to get to the arena early in hopes of meeting DC. We got to the Air Canada center at 11:30 and immediately went towards the garage entrance where there were about 20 people waiting. About 10 minutes later we saw a security guard who told us that the idols wouldn't be coming out before the show ... he did however mention that there were more people waiting inside near the ticket office so we decided to give that a try. We made our way in at about 11:45 and saw barricades set up which was a good sign. We met some fellow DC fans although the place was about 80% packed with Archies, lol.
So, by 2 we started to get a little tired of waiting and mentioned this to a guard who told us they were supposed to come out at 1:30 and didnt know what would be happening now. He eventually told us they would come out at 2:30 which never happened. Around 3:30 we started hearig screams and the idols finally made their first appearances at close to 4.
Now, let me mention that i was standing right in front of the barricade close to the door that the idols came out from. Ramiele was the first to emerge (she's so cute and tiny!) and headed directly all the way to the other end of the barricades (maybe 100 feet long, about 150-200 fans). Next thing i know DC comes out and follows Ramiele to the other end and I'm freaked out and confused and try to grab him (or at least touch him) unsuccessfully. I'm super dissapointed until Jason comes out and starts signing autographs and taking pics at my end. Jason is super sweet and spends a good minute and a half in front of me and i get a super cute pic with him. Kristy Lee comes out next and is also really nice and takes a pic with me and signs my shirt. Next out is Brooke (who looks way thinner in person) and doesn't want to take any pictures with anyone. She was nice about it but I was still kinda dissaponited. She did sign my "I love DC" shirt. So by this time Ramiele and David are getting closer to us from the other end. Ramiele is really sweet and smiles really big for a pic with me and even smiles at my camera when taking a pic with another girl.
And finally, the moment I'd been waiting months for. As DC grew merely feet away from me, Carly came out from the door and began making her way towards me from the opposite side. By this point, I started hearing news that David wasn't taking pics with anyone so I was trying to figure out a way to maybe have him sign the back of my shirt so my mom could take a pic in the meanwhile. The next thing I knew, I had David on my left and Carly on my right. Now, as much as I like Carly, there was no competition so I ended up missing her all together. There he was, right in front of me! I asked him to sign the front of my shirt (right above the "love", forgetting about the picture attempt. He did say "Aww" when he saw it ! At this point he was still conversing with the girl next to me and it was also clear that he wouldn't take pics (he said he would try to come back but never did . Once he was directly in front of me I had his attention and my months of practicing something intelligent to say went straight down the drain. I became a total fangirl and yelled "David, I love you! Can I have a hug?!?"
He gave me a coy little side smile and opened up his arms and it is safe to say I was in heaven for the next 5 seconds! He smelled of baby powder and had the softest skin ever. I then yelled "Thank you, I love you!" and he continued making his way. I was so excited I called my friends right away. None of the other idols ended up coming out although they did wave from a window above where the fans were. I will tell you that some of the Archies were pissed! lmao
So, to conclude, that was my personal DC experience. The concert was great and DC totally rocked but the hug truly made my day (and week, and month, and year!)
I'LL BE ADDING MY PICS AS SOON AS I FIGURE OUT HOW TO...IF ANYONE CAN HELP ME OUT IT WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED!
