OK, I'm not good at this but here goes....
It started as I was up late last night 'till 3:30 a.m. writing letters for them. I only got 1 and a half hours sleep. My ride finally showed up at 8:00 a.m. and we had gotten lost. We made it right when the first band came on. So after the second band (there were only 4 in alI) I snuck backstage so I could look for Eden's Crush. After being there for 5 minutes I see (in this order) Ana Maria, Nicole, Rosanna, and Maile all heading for a door. I was so shocked I nearly screamed my head off! I was speechless. The people that worked there said no one was allowed in that certain door (*hint, hint*). So I stayed by the door till they were gonna perform. And just my luck I found the perfect spot to take pics!!
They only sang 2 songs: "Love This Way" and "Get Over Yourself". I was standing on the same side the room was on and as soon as "Love This Way" started I was singing along when Rosanna noticed and waved at me and smiled at me! I did the same right back to her of course. Maile had to take over Ivette's lines and she sounded amazing! They all did!! Then after that they started "Get Over Yourself." As soon as Nicole started singing she looked at me and smiled. Ana Maria did and so did Maile. But they all smiled at me.
After they said good-bye to everyone, they went backstage to the room. I saw a lady who I talked to earlier when I was there and asked her if she could help me get my letters and poems to them. I even asked if she could get one of them to come to the door and stick their hand out!! She said "Let me see what I can do." ( she was blonde) 30 seconds later she opens the door and tells me to come in!! As soon as I got in the first person I saw was Nicole!!! She saw me instantly and said "Hi! Come here, give me a hug." OMG!! (She was more excited than I was...lol) We gave each other a hug and she hugged me so tight someone thought that we were best friends. (I thought she was never gonna let me go!) Then I tried to speak and I said "OMG! Nicole you are so beautiful" "Aww...thank you sweetie" OMG! She calledme "Sweetie!!" I told her I was SPORTY_FAN on all the message boards and told her I talked to her on the phone Oct. 22nd and that she read my poem that day too. "OK, oh I talked to you on the mb?" "Yeah and on the phone too. See, there's the poem you read." She was looking at the wrong one."Opps, wrong one...let's see...here it is Nicole. There you go." She stood there reading the poem and then she said "Oh, I remember you." OMG she remembers!!
A lady with brown hair rushed Nicole. But before Nicole left she walked over to me and told me "Thank you for coming out to see us and for putting up with the weather." "It was worth it to see you." "Aww...I hope you don't catch pneumonia." "I won't." Then I saw Rosanna and said her name. She looked at me immediately and said "Hey, I saw you outside. What's your name?" "Adrienne" "Adrienne...ok, I'll remember that." Then Maile walked out from the other room. "Maile!?!" "Hi, nice to meet you." "OMG!! I'm so nervous right now...my hand keeps shaking." "Aww, well don't be nervous sweetie." "I can't help it, I mean your gorgeous!!" "Aww...thank you...you wanna take a pic? "Yeah...sure" Nicole had walked back into the room while I gave the brown haired lady my camera (I had 2. One was used up completely during the performance and over half the other one was too. The rest of that film was used for backstage!) and stood between Maile and Nicole. It was gonna be just the 3 of us but Rosanna snuck in the pic with us!! She was next to Maile. The lady then said "Now you got 3 of them." I looked and saw Rosanna walking. As soon as they left the room Ana Maria came in!! I _was amazed by how tall she was and barely managed to call her name. She looked over to me and then walked over to me. I said "GOOD GOD YOU'RE TALL!!!" "I know, huh?!?!" (She was giggling and smiling at me when she said that) I think she knew who I was cause I saw Rosanna talk to her for 2 seconds... "Oh, yeah, I almost forgot!"
I then noticed the lady with the brown hair had my letters and poems. She said "It's OK,I'll take care of it." "No...I rather do it." _(She was trying to rush Ana Maria and kick me out!) Ana Maria wasn't too happy with that lady._I got the papers from her and asked Ana Maria if she could give Rosanna hers too. I had given Maile and Nicole theirs when I met them already. Ana Maria said "Sure, you wanna take a pic with me?" "Yeah, sure, I'd love too!" We took our pic and Ana Maria promised she would email me!! 3 seconds later the other girls came out from the other room. They all were posing for group pics and I managed to take one before the brown haired lady kicked me out. On my way out though I heard Rosanna say "Bye Adrienne!"
