Okay..my San Diego adventure started out great. I would get to spend the day with my 2 grandaughters & my daughter. I knew I would meet up with Niques Nana & I was really looking forward to that.
We get to the sports areana at about 4:30 & all the idols are doing meet & greets & they probably wouldn't come back out to the bus. I was disappointed but still hopeful. Then I get to meet Niques Nana who I just love. She is a really nice lady & loves Chris as much as I do. Then I get to meet carrieanne. What a sweetheart.
The doors open, we have 7th row seats which I thought was pretty awesome. Well come to find out the first 5 rows are on the side of the stage & our 7th row seats are really 2nd row seats. Now I'm really pumped!!
The show starts..In about his 2nd or 3rd time on stage, Chris notices my grandaughters t-shirts & comes right up to the corner of the stage, points at them & gives them the thumbs up. Everyone around us is patting the girls on the head saying he noticed your shirt. They are giggling with delight. Then, he jumps off the stage, starts going in the other direction, then comes back & takes my hands. My heart stops!!
After the show we wait for an autograph. Not an easy thing to do with a 4 & 6 year old who did not have a nap..but we wait with our pink glow sticks.
Chris comes over, starts signing autographs a few people down from us (my heart was racing), he gets to us & I tell him I am one of his blogger girls. I tell him my name & he grabs me in a bear hug saying how awesome it is to meet me & my family. He tells the girls that he noticed them from stage & he gave them a thumbs up, they said they saw him & giggled some more. Now my 4yr old grandaughter is in love with him. She is normally shy & asked if she could have her picture taken with him & of course he said yes.
Like Niques Nana, I am really a nerd when it come to putting pictures on here, but I will figure it out & add them in the next few days.
This was a night I will never ever forget.
Oh yeah, the concert was awesome!!!!

Cathy -
I guess you really had an exciting time! It seems like a fair amount of people are making contact with Chris. I'm glad that he's being so nice to everyone. This makes me hopeful that I'll get my shot when he comes to Long Island (and if I do, he's going to get an earful about Mark Volman)

Wow, sounds like the day went great for you and the family!

Rosalee - I looked up Mark Volman because I didn't know who he was - and his birthday is April 19 - close to Chris - April 13. Not earth shattering but kind of interesting.
