Alright... So where to begin... the beginning... I get to the venue without a ticket... and I park, and walk about a half mile to the ticket place.... With vanessa shows I am use to parking like 4 feet or something close to the venue... anyways I am not lazy I just was in the car for about 5 hours- actually I don't know every-time I talk about how long it took, it is different... anyways I am walking and I see the busses (I got a huge deja vu) and I see Nicole walking towards me... and I noticed when I got to the ticket thing that it was her. Then we make a game plan to see Vanessa. We walk to the gate, and stand there for about 15 minutes... she was trying not to get noticed. Anyways We walked to the back of the gate, and found a second gate. There are like 20 people camping out really weird... I was thought I would look like a fool just standing there.. SO then I decided to make friends with the security guard so i could stand closer to the gate, and not be "a threat" I ask this one guy to pet his dog, and out of the corner of my eye I see Mrs. Carlton dragging victor around.... and then I see mr carlton with victor.. Nicole and I got him to come closer- I played dumb I was like you have the cutest dog, can I pet him? he is like yea sure, it is my daughters, Victor... and then i was like oh wow, are you Mr Carlton, Ed? he was like yea... I was like wow that is cool, can I take a picture... anyways we asked him if we could see vanessa if she could come out... After about an hour of talking to the security guard and nicole seeing a Hanson friend we decided to go to the concert, the gates were closing to the backstage area... anyways
Vanessa was FANTASTIC.....
She did the set as above....
She went right into Ordinary day She was wearing black leather boots that were just below the knees black tight pants. and this purple shirt that was like pushed up and held in with a belt... and the fedora..
Ordinary Day, then Hands on me and she said the whole thing about her mom not liking the name of the song, and she says that she is home, and from Milford...and gives a "Hi Mom" during the piano intro. After that she talked about summer love, it being sad when it is only taking place every summer, then justin Timberlake, "It's not about me" then "The One". Next- she talked about stevie and thanks her 'for taking her under my wing over the years, and changed my life'. Heros and Thieves, 'It's never smart to date Musicians, Stevie knows'. the before ATM she said that the song was written here on a lake, so this song is special...
So at the end of the vanessa set stevie went on at the 3rd to last song Nicole and I got up, and ran to the side of the stage, and stood in the Handicapped entrance... For like 2 songs, and a woman was like are you backstage-nicole said yes, I pretended to be on the phone speaking french lol... anyways we walked right backstage, and pretended like we were supposed to be there, and then we got caught so many people let us go lol. then this one woman on a power trip was like CREDENTIALS i was like WTF? lol so they were all like hyped up, stevie was about to get off stage, and they had to get her out of there.. anyways we get kicked out, and the guy did not really care that we were there he was just doing what he was told lol... I did not care the show was over anyways lol[/i]
