2005
sorry this first part isn't about the jonas brothers, but getting this all out is really good for me.
i don't understand why some people hate so much. not just hating in general, but being mean and being a jerk to others. it doesn't make you cool to call someone names whether it's behind their back or to their face. and it makes it even worse when a generally jerk-y person says that you've been really mean and a huge jerk lately. every person has feelings just like you. so don't hurt them. especially when the person you hurt is someone you used to, at least pretend, to care about. and one more thing... i really wish people would have more respect. because disrespect is so not attractive OR funny.
that probably didn't even make sense, but i really needed to get that out there...phew! that is one of the reasons i despise school.
on to the jonas brothers. here's the story of my first jonas brothers concert a million years ago. i don't remember much, but there are some things that i can picture perfectly.
i had just turned 12 years old. i lived in maine, 3 hours north of the new hampshire border (a.k.a. the middle of nowhere) and i was visiting my friend lauren who had moved to new hampshire a few years earlier. we were trying to convince our parents to take us to an aly & aj and cheetah girls concert in boston, since we had both recently become hooked on going to concerts, and we loved both artists. our parents decided to take us to the one in providence, rhode island because it was on the weekend... we were thrilled. so the day of the show, my mom and i picked lauren up and we drove five hours to rhode island. we got there a little after doors opened, and took a picture by the sign that said providence performing arts center. the venue was beautiful... think the size of the shows on the nick j & the administration tour, and the look of the fox theater in detroit, if you've ever been there. we had signs for the two acts we came to see. haha i still have them. so we get to our seats, one was in the front row, one in the second, and i have no clue where the third was. lauren and i decided to share the front row seat so she sat on my lap. we heard that the opening act was the jonas brothers. i remember getting so mad, because i just wanted to see aly & aj, now. judging by their name, i thought they would be some old people band. i guess i was thinking of the doobie brothers or something... but i remember thinking that so clearly. so they come on, and i was like hey, they're not old. lauren and i stood up and completely stood out from everyone else in the crowd. we were surrounded by five year-olds, we were front row center, and we were tall. so it was almost like it was just us and the boys, from our view. i put on my glasses so i could see and noticed they were kinda cute... i liked the lead singer's shirt, which had a tie printed on it. i thought it was really cool for some reason :) so i really liked their music, stage presence, and well... them. my mom's seat was right behind where we were, and she tapped me on the shoulder and said, "i think he's flirting with you!" inside i was freaking out but i tried not to let it show. so i was like, stop it mom! and then i turned around because i was pretty embarrassed at that point. but it seemed true to me at least, like that the singer was flirting with us and stuff. but now i'm pretty sure it was just that he was giving us extra attention since we were the only kids over the age of 10 in the audience. at the time though i actually thought i had a chance or something with him so i got all self-conscience and stuff. even though i couldn't see very well i took off my glasses so i wouldn't look so nerdy. i set them under my seat and turned back to the show... which i couldn't see. but i looked a little better (even though i was such a geek in middle school...and high school :P) so it was all good. the next time i went to put on my glasses though, i realized that i had stepped on them and they were now bent... oh well! i really really loved the show. by the end of their set i didn't want them to leave. but eventually aly & aj came on, then the cheetah girls, and i loved them both. when i met them after the show, they said that they noticed i sang every word to every song, and holy poop was i excited about that :) haha. anyway, after the show i got to meet the jonas brothers. they signed a demo cd for me, which i would soon fall in love with, one for lauren, and one for my best friend hannah (joe wrote her name on it for her). i wish i remember what was said but i don't. all i know is that while lauren and i talked to the boys, my mom talked to mr. jonas. they talked about how yes, they are really brothers and that they're from new jersey, and about their backround & stuff. so when it was time to go my mom was like, "let's get a picture!" i was like, mom noo! because i was embarrassed, but i never imagined i'd look back on that picture and day and smile. and that that day would make such a huge impact on my life. in the past few years the jonas brothers have taught me so much... they've shown me that there are truly good people out there, reminded me to never give up, given me some of the best days of my life, and helped me see that my potential is so much greater than i'd ever dream. that day was one of the best days of my life for so many more reasons than i could have imagined.
on the way home from the show i listened to the demo cd- over and over and over. and then at home, i listened to it over and over. i fell so in love with it, with nick's sweet angelic voice, their poppy sound, everything. but most of all i loved nick's voice, i would always say it just felt so round, but i guess by saying that i meant that it was full and not airy. i truly loved it though and i needed more music from them than the 2 songs & 3 snippets on the sampler. and wow, was that wait until next august when their debut album came out a long one.
that's everything (and i mean EVERYTHING) that i remember from that day. i'm not sure if people will actually wanna read these things but let me know if you want more stories or just whatever you want me to write about! :)
