My adventure of Hershey,PA with 4 gents on NYE!

I am horrible at writing recaps, but here it goes.

I woke up around 5:45am the day of the show. I couldn't believe the day was there already! I got ready, packed my bag and started to bake the Hershey kiss peanut butter cookies that i was going to give them. My friend, Gina, came over around 6:30am to pick me up. We left around 7:45am. It was starting to snow and I was freaking out literally cause if it got worse we would have turned back home. That didn't stop us! The snow started to get bad around 9:30am. Gina was having a hard time controlling the car and it was skidding around. We got really scared, but then it started to stop the snow and it became a bit easier to drive. We got into Pennsylvania around 10am. I started to get super excited! We got at our hotel around 11am. We unpacked and settled in and then we decided to go eat. Cause we didn't eat anything in the morning and we were starving by the time we got there. Then we found the place for the M&G! Their were people there, so we decided to go there instead to wait! It was SUPER cold that day! Trust me I couldn't feel my hands! lol! Their parents came around close to 4 and they walked into the place. Rebecca and Kat came around 3:15pm to unpack all of the merchandise for us to buy. We were brought in around 4:15pm about. I decided to get a poster, and so did all of my friends. I taped some of my friend, Vivian's, meet and greet time until it was my turn. When I got to Jason I was like, "Hey!" and then he smiled. He's seems shy to me lol. Then when I got to Alex,"Hey what's up?!?" and he smiled and then I heard someone talking about red coats and Alex laughed and Michael was like I have been seeing all these red coats! I was like I have a red coat on too! Then Alex goes,"Yours must be nice and warm!" I'm like,"Yup! My step mother got it for me! It's super warm! Except for the fact it's really super cold out there!" and he laughed. Then I told him my grandparents are now up from PR(Puerto Rico) and how they are in a nursing home now and stuff. He was speechless cause he never knew i was Spanish since I don't look like it! lol! Then he said, "Cool!" and then I asked for a hug and he gave me one and he smiled back at me. Then it was my turn for Michael. He was like, "Hey how are you?" and I was like,"I'm fine and you." and then he said,"I'm great." I asked him if he got to my cd that I gave to him in NYC back in November. He was like,"I haven't gotten to it yet since I am still trying to go through all the fan stuff lol! I was like,"that's okay. I understand." Michael then smiled back at me. Then it was Andy's turn. When I got to him he was like,"Hey! How are you?" I'm like, I'm fine and it's sure cold out there! I can't feel my hands! lol!" He then laughed and I was like, "I took off work just to see you guys!" Then he was like,"Cool. You must be filing all the medication for those sick people!" I'm like, "Yeah even those C2's(i spelt it this way cause i can't spell it the right way lol). He laughed and said, "Hahahaha. See you later!" Then he smiled. We walked out and I was so happy that it was my 11th or 12 th time meeting them and they are still the same gents I love to death<3


Then we left which was around 4:30pm. We went out food searching and it ended up to be Houlihan's! Their food is really good there! Then afterwards we decided to go wait outside for our spots for their performance. We got there around 5:30pm. We waited out there and I met a few fans like Michele and Hailey who are very nice! Then I went over and talked to Kat and Rebecca for a few and got a picture with them! It started to rain about then. It was so nasty out yet I waited out there for them! I didn't care if it was snowing, sleeting, hailing, or raining I was going to be still out there for them! We waited out there until around 7pm I think it was they let all us in for our spots! I got front row to the right with my friends. It started to get colder and colder by the time they got on. They had their soundcheck around 8pm. They played Full Moon Crazy, Two Rebels, and I forgot the other song. lol. Then around 9:15pm it was time for them to perform. They played Full Moon Crazy, Two Rebels, Over You, Where Are You Now, Don't Close the Book with some of the song called, "Down", Sing for You, and a lot more that I can't remember. They did an amazing job! They were on fire that night! They all gave speeches during Don't Close the Book. They were very heart warming speeches. I love them like crazy. Michael loved looking over at me and my friend's the whole time. He noticed on how we were having a great time! I went back to my hotel room after their performance and my hands were red and swollen and my friend wanted me to go back there, but I just couldn't feel anything anymore and now I regret it since they came out afterwards and took pictures. Oh well Maybe next time. I still love them either way.


My story about my time in Hershey the next day will be up this week! :]
