Who knew so much could happen in 36 hours...

Anyone who knows me knows that I am not afraid of a road trip, and not afraid of spending 36 hours in a city I love to visit! LA baby! :) So when my friends and I heard about a free concert from our favorite boys- JB (no laughing please) we decided that my friend Chelsea and her friend Kylie would meet Rachelle and I in LA for the craziness that we never experienced when we were 16 for our boy band love N'sync. And who knew the power that 20 somethings would have at a concert where security and everyone else is expecting teenagers.. it made for a pretty exciting weekend! :) Pictures tell it best!
Here is Chelsea, Rachelle and myself at the Grove, but the party started in the late night drive to LA after work on friday- Rachelle and I do drives right.. Blast the music and have a great time! But the party continued at The Grove in LA the following day. We got there around noon (the concert was at 3pm) and people had camped out, and the line was wrapped all the way around the buildings and it was insane!!! This is where our age came in handy.. we bypassed the line and walked right into the grove like we didn't know what was going on and we were just there on a normal day shopping! :) We went over to meet Chelsea and crew and decided to do some walking around and BAM! We went over to a side of the stage and they had set up a gate- we were curious and found that the JB band was hanging in close proximity. We being as old as they are were able to stand and hang. They all came out and took pictures with us and hung out. The bassists name is Greg Garbowsky (sp?) and everyone calls him Garbo- he came and talked with us for like 20 mins and took a pic and even invited us to go to another concert that night for a different band- Don't worry we went and were able to hang with him for a little while- We're legit! :) haha... anyway- the day ended at the concert with Greg, but before heading over to him we were able to meet the brothers themselves, and got a picture with them! We considered the 36 hour trip to be very successful! :) There are so many details and things that made if even more incredible, but for the sake of this being a long long post I will spare you the details and just say that it was so fun and I loved being able to share it with the people I was with!!! Rachelle and Chelsea are the best!!!

I don't know if people recognize him but his name is Quduus- I think! He was a VJ on MTV's TRL and I guess is not working for Jonas on their cambio.com project... check it out!
The boys hanging out in the cambio studios and giving the crowd a little shout out.
Jack Lawless- he's the drummer for the band- he was very nice!
Greg Garbo- basically our favorite person at the show! :)
John Taylor- Musical director and Guitarist

And I forgot to mention the boys from Honor Society were there too- they're always nice and posed for pictures as well!
Michael Bruno
Jason Roser
Alexander Noyes
Andrew Lee
Needless to say we were a happy group of girls! :)


And our day was complete when we were able to meet these guys! They look a little rough seeing as how they were stuck in an elevator for 45 mins before meeting us.. so nice to still stop and pose for us! Again I say... it was a successful 36 hours! :)
