Meet & Greet with The Backstreet Boys!

As I've mentioned before, a few months ago, I met The Backstreet Boys. To say the absolute least, it was a childhood dream come true! Nick Carter was my first celebrity crush and I almost freaked out when I met him.

My mom won the meet and greet passes and concert tickets from a radio competition and we got to listen to their sound check. It was so surreal! There was even a proposal!

I wish I had known that there would've been a Q&A session thought because I couldn't think of a question on the spot! But let me tell you, when you get a "meet & greet" pass, that's all it is. You just say hi, take a picture and leave. At least that's what the experience was like for me.

But still, meeting them, saying hi and shaking their hands was beyond mind-blowing. And it was over too fast! But I will forever hold onto the memory of Nick Carter walking up to me and saying, "Hi, it's nice to meet you. Thank you so much for coming." 5-year-old me is still squealing! Seriously, how many people get to meet their childhood celebrity crush?

We were not allowed to take photos with our cameras or get autographs. However, their photographer did take a photo of us. And because it is Throwback Thursday, I figured that I'd post that picture! (And I just love telling this story!)

The Photos I Promised!

As I mentioned in my previous blog post, I was having issues with my camera and the photos from my Backstreet Boys meet and greet wouldn't upload. I was finally able to upload some of them! However, not all of the photos had good quality, so I didn't upload them. But, as promised, here they are! 

Waiting in line to get our passes!

Mom!

Childhood Dream Come True

So a few days ago, my mother called me to tell me that she won the VIP experience for the Backstreet Boys concert and I freaked out! Being a child of the 90's, I was raised on the Backstreet Boys and N'SYNC. In fact, my first celebrity crush was Nick Carter, so I instantly started "fan-girling" as they call it.

The concert was yesterday and it was one of the most memorable experiences of my life. We got a private concert/sound check experience with the boys and then a meet and greet. The meet and greet was only about 5 seconds long and we weren't allowed pictures or autographs but their photographer took pictures. So, hopefully, we'll be able to order them from their website soon.

Just so you guys know, I just about died when Nick Carter came up, said that it was nice to meet me and shook my hand. 5-year-old me could not have been happier! Then I told Brian that I loved him and he smiled at me. (On a side note, Brian is actually way funnier and sillier than I ever could've imagined.)

When I was younger, I would've given my left arm to meet the Backstreet Boys, so this is literally a childhood dream come true. So thank you Wild 95.5 for the tickets because I feel like the luckiest girl in the world. Who gets to meet their childhood idols, seriously?

Unfortunately, I'm having problems with my camera, so I can't post pictures just yet. But as soon as I get the problem fixed, I will be uploading photos and videos, so bear with me!
