OH WHAT A NIGHT!!!!!

OH my! It was a night for my girl to remember forever!

She was in Jon*as Heaven!

hee-hee!

It all began on Wednesday morning......

We left at 7am and drove for 5 hours to Raleigh, NC.

Then, we checked into our hotel....and then drove down the road to Applebees to eat...by that time it was 2pm.

After eating their lunch/dinner...the girls got a yummy Brownie dessert! As you can see they loved it!

She even dropped a bit of chocolate on her arm....but trust me...she didn't let it get away!!! *wink*

After lunch, it was back to the hotel to get ready for the concert!

DSCF7855

Make-up has to be just right for these guys, ya know!!!!

Outside our hotel.....ready to go!

DSCF7874

The first thing they see as we drive into the parking area......THE JB BUS!



DSCF7878

Oh yes.....the famous bus that all the fans are allowed to sign!!!

DSCF7882

SO.....Chelsi signs it.....not once.....

DSCF7892

DSCF7889

but 6 times!!!!





DSCF7887

Of course, they had to stand beneath Nick for their picture!

DSCF7893

Then it was time to go stand in line in the HEAT for about an hour!

At least it didn't rain.....only a few sprinkles...which were nice and cooled us off a bit!

DSCF7898

Are they happy to be here or what???

DSCF7901

As the time passed....we all got very warm!

So they put their hair up ....and sat in the grass to drink their water!

DSCF7926

FINALLY, we were inside in our seats!!!

She's got her binocs out and ready!!!!

DSCF7932

They had about 30 glow bracelets on their arms! hee-hee!

Gotta make sure Nick sees them out there ya know!!!



Demi Lo*Vato opened the concert for JB. She was fabulous!

Next was Avr*il .....and she was ok....we just aren't big fans of hers.....so we skipped the photo op for her part of the show......then came......DRUM ROLL PLEASE>>>>>>

THE J BROS!!!

At one point in the concert...they all 3 grabbed these big hoses and sprayed the audience with foam!
DSCF8028
Their set was amazing....lots of lasers and pyro....and large stages and stands that emerged and rose high above us!!!
DSCF8029
Here is Nick on his stand ....about 30 feet in the air....playing his guitar and singing!
DSCF8034
They had this walk out path that extended into the audience....they were right there among their fans!!!

Here he is playing the piano and singing a song he wrote right after he was diagnosed with diabetes.

This picture is of the three of them and their body guard "Big R*OB" singing the tour title song Burnin' U*P.

(*Which is also the song playing here on the blog!)

Big R....does some rapping in this particular song!
DSCF8053
That was the last song...but the crowd screamed and screamed....as their JB crest was lit with fire..... and

oh yes...they came back out for a couple more songs!


DSCF8059
It was such an amazing evening....one that these girls will not soon forget!!!

The next morning...we slept in...then got up and found a great mall to do some much needed shopping...hee-hee!
