so it took forever to get around to this, sorry about that! so denver…… we decided VERY last minute to go to denver. so we got our plane tickets, booked our hotel, and were ticketless, as per usual lol. we contacted nick’s assistant to see if we would be able to get meet & greets for the show, because we wanted to make sure we saw nick to tell him thank you for everything that he had done for us on this tour. we got a response right away saying that would be no problem. so we were really excited! about 2 days before we were leaving, we decided randomly to check livenation for tickets. and sure enough, there were 3rd row center tickets, for both shows. so we bought them! obviously :)

so we were flying out the day of the first show (saturday), and flying home monday. our flight was at 8am, so we woke up at 430am, because we had to take public transportation to the airport. we got lost, AS PER USUAL, and went about 45 minutes out of our way. we ended up having to take a cab from the train station to the airport. so we finally get there and check in, go through security, and wait to board. the flight was okay, even though i (christina) fainted on the plane from lack of food i guess. the flight attendants gave me juice and animal crackers to help me get my strength back. so once we landed we went and picked up our luggage and went to find ness, who flew in from miami. once we found her we went to the shuttle counter, & took the shuttle to the hotel. we got to our hotel, which ended up only being about 2 blocks away from the venue. we went and got some lunch, then went back to the room and took a nap. we got ready, and made our way to the venue. we had been told our meet&greets would be there at 5. everything was running behind, so we had to wait a little bit. we finally got our envelope, and sure enough we had been left tickets also. we had said we didn’t need tickets, but they left them for us anyways. so we actually ended up giving away 10th row tickets to some girls who had seats in the back balcony. they were really happy :) we made our way in for the m&g, waited in line for a bit. mike came out and said hello to us while we were waiting. as our turn came we all went in together, and nick told us that he knew we were liars, and that we would be at another show. we told him that his shows just kept getting better and better and that we couldn’t help it :) he told us it meant alot, and then we talked about LA, and he said “so i’ll see you in LA?” we told him no, and his response was “see, now i don’t believe you.” we went to take our individual pictures, and since john taylor was hanging out in the m&g, nick was like “i think john should get into a picture” so we took our individuals, then we took a big group shot with nick and john taylor. we said our goodbyes to nick, then went over to talk to mike and john taylor for a few minutes. they asked us where we were sitting, and we told them 3rd row and mike joked and told us we had horrible seats, and laughed. we talked to john for a minute, said our goodbyes, and made our way down to our seats. they were AMAZING!!!!


diane was awesome as usual, and we waited for nick to come on. nick came on and killed it! we didn’t keep a setlist of this show :( sorry! but “stay” was completely out of this world. absolutely amazing. nick definitely never disappoints! nick joked about how he usually says conspiracy theory is about aliens, and then he said that it’s not actually about aliens, but he just went with it because people believed it. he was really funny at this show!! it was a great great show for sure.


so we went back to our hotel and basically passed out we were so so exhausted. we woke up the next day & got ready. we got word that the second show was canceled. we were pretty bummed, but we could tell the night before that nick was feeling under the weather so it didnt really come to too much of a shock to us. we went out and about in denver, and went to saw a movie, and went to dinner. diane birch tweeted that she was going to be doing a m&g at her hotel so since we had nothing else to do haha. we said hi to her, and found out we could get on an earlier flight so we took the hotel’s suburban to the airport to wait for a red eye back to new york. finally we got on, and it was literally the worst flight ever. such bad turbulence, bad weather, horrible. we were so happy to get onto the ground! we took the train home, and slept til about 2pm.


all in all, it was a fun trip even though the second show got canceled! sorry if this update kind of sucks, the trip was pretty quick and uneventful haha if you have any other questions about it, feel free to ask us on twitter or on one of our formsprings :)

okay so to begin where we left off…. we started our drive to DC a little bit later in the afternoon, because we wanted to sleep in and get our rest for the drive. we left nashville at around 1pm and started the drive. we drove until about 10pm, and stopped in virginia because it was snowing, and we wanted to watch teen mom :) so we checked into our hotel and ordered pizza, and did just that. we woke up super early the next morning to finish the remaining 4 hours to DC. we got to DC and went to nick’s hotel, where we proceeded to freeze to death for about 2 hours. we bought hand and feet warmers to try and keep warm, which didn’t work. we almost gave up and left because it was so ridiculously freezing. there were about 5 other girls there at the hotel. nick came out at around 1:30pm, and loaded his things into the car, and of course was nice enough to come over to where the girls were waiting to meet them and take some pictures. we stood to the back because we wanted to give the other girls their chance to say hello and get what pictures or autographs they wanted. after he was finished taking pictures with them, he came over to us and said hello & gave us all hugs. he told us that he saw us in nashville, and asked us what we thought of the show, what our favorite songs were, what other shows we were attending, etc. he told us that he had written a new song the night before that he was going to be playing that night at his show. we told him the show was amazing, and that we were blown away, and that it was really awesome to be at the ryman show again exactly a year later. he said “oh yeah the ryman a year ago, elvis was there.” and then he told us that he really appreciated our input and the compliments meant alot coming from us. after we told him what shows we planned on going to, he leaned in and said to us “i dont know if you guys want, but just contact my assistant for meet and greets or whatever.” we thought that was so nice of him to offer, so we just couldn’t resist going to the show that night, as we had previously not planned on doing. so we said our goodbyes, and made our way to the venue to see what kind of tickets they had available. we ended up with center orchestra, row k. which was about 13 rows back. we picked up our meet n greets and waited in starbucks to keep warm until doors opened. once the doors opened, we made our way inside to the meet n greet line, which was in a back hallway of the venue. there were about 75 people in the line. we were second to last, and once it was our turn we all went in together. nick said ‘oh hey, havent seen you in awhile’ with a huge grin on his face. we all took individual pictures, told him to have a great show, and made our way to our seats. diane birch was awesome. nick came out and blew it out of the water! set list as follows: - last time around
- state of emergency
- olive and an arrow
- inseparable
- while the world is spinning
- the way you make me feel (cover)
- fireflies & use somebody (cover)
- before the storm

- who i am after the show, we got some grub, and started our drive to NYC. after about 50 miles, we decided to stop and get a hotel because we were all so sleepy. we crashed, and woke up and started our drive at about noon the next day. it was about a 3 hour drive to NYC and once we got there we went to see what was going on at david letterman. there were a bunch of people outside so we decided to go to the venue and look for tickets since we didn’t have any. there was nothing we really wanted at the box office. and the scalpers were asking ridiculous prices for seats that we would never be interested in paying that kind of money for. i know that sounds terrible considering how many people would give anything just to be seeing the show. but since we were going to a few shows, we wanted to save our money for better tickets. after having no luck, we went to the car to warm up. when ‘use somebody’ came on the radio, we took that as a sign to take another shot at finding tickets. we walked up to the box office and a cop that recognized us from trump started talking to us. we spoke to him for awhile before going into the box office to check for tickets. the cop walked in behind us and handed us 3 tickets. :) they were in row r, but we were so excited just to go that we didn’t care, haha. we actually ended up standing right near where kevin, alex & jason from honor society, and the family was standing. kevin looked like he was having a blast! singing along, and rocking out. once the show was over we went home to crash, excited to do it all over again the next day. we woke up at 5:30 to go and check out standby for regis and kelly. after getting stuck for about 30 minutes behind a garbage truck on a side street, we finally parked and made our way to abc studios. there were about 65 people in the standby line, and about 10 people waiting to see him go inside the garage. he made his way down the street at around 8:20 and stopped and said hello and took a few pictures before making his way inside. we decided to head down to the venue to wait for the box office to open to see what tickets became available. we waited, and waited, until about 3pm when a line started to form and they moved us outside. they put up a barricade, and started a lineup. we were first in line since we had been there for so long. at about 6pm we met up with our friend alexandra [love you!!] who would be coming to this show, and philadelphia with us! so we needed 4 tickets to the show this night, and ended up getting two pairs of tickets. one pair in row c, and one pair in row e right on the center aisle. GREAT seats!! we ended up right on the opposite end of the row where joe, kevin, jess, danielle, and the family were standing. forever seven, danielle’s brothers band opened up the show that night. mandy was standing right next to us and seemed to be enjoying herself. :) kevin and joe were obviously having a great time once nick came onstage, singing along, etc. joe even screamed along with the crowd when nick took off his shirt during ‘stay’ and pretended to catch some of nicks kisses and put them in his pocket, hahaha. the show was MIND BLOWING!!!!!! nick asked joe and kevin to come onstage so he could “share the moment” with them. they sang ‘please be mine’ which was a really fun surprise!! the crowd went nuts! nick also covered empire state of mind, and catch me. this was one of the most breathtaking shows we have ever been to. we feel truly lucky to have been a part of the audience. after the show, we headed home to get some sleep before heading to philadelphia the next day. we woke up and drove to new jersey to pick up laura [love you!] and got lost about 50 times on our way. we needed a total of 6 tickets for the show, and on the drive we called live nation and got 2 tickets in the 8th row. when we got to philly we checked into our hotel, and waited for alex stewart [love you!] to get dropped off. we all got ready in our hotel, and ended up buying 4 second row (ended up being front row) tickets off of stubhub because they were too cheap to pass up, plus it got us all into the show. we headed to the show in upper darby which was only about 10 minutes away from our hotel. we parked our car, and waited for doors to open. we went inside and made our way to our seats which were soooo good! we were so excited! we waited anxiously for nick to come onstage, and when he did the energy in the place was awesome, just like always! the set list was different at this show. it went as follows:   - rose garden - state of emergency - olive and an arrow - last time around - inseparable - i just want to celebrate (cover) - while the world is spinning - black keys/a little bit longer/speech - vespers goodbye - fireflies/use somebody/catch me (cover) - before the storm - stay - conspiracy theory - stronger - tonight - who i am   after conspiracy theory, nick was joking around saying that he has been getting so many comments from fans thinking they know who/what some of his songs are about. he explained to the crowd that conspiracy theory is about aliens, and went on to tell his story about when him and garbo saw 3 UFOs. he was joking for a few minutes and imitating girls saying ‘i know who this is about, i know who that is about’ and then he said this is why he keeps more to himself when he is onstage with his brothers because he gets off subject and talks about random stuff. and also joked and said that people were probably thinking “who is this guy?” “why did i pay to see this show?” you could tell that he was having a really good time! now for the story about what happened during stronger…. and this should clear up all the different stories that have been going around!!   halfway through the song nick stopped singing, and he told his band to keep playing. he called a boy who was in the center aisle down to come onstage. once the boy was onstage people started running towards the stage. nick said “stay in your seats. i didn’t say i was bringing more people up onstage. i am… but i didn’t say that i was.” this is when some random older man got up onstage UNINVITED. then nick called our friend emily onstage. he had been looking at us and kind of gave us a little grin, and then looked our way and motioned at us (carly, christina, ness, alexandra) and said “come on up here.” so we made our way up onstage. it was such an awesome feeling to be up there, and to look out at the crowd and see it from his side. to see all the cameras, the glowsticks, the smiling faces. it must be a really awesome feeling to see that every night! he went on to say that at this part of the song, it requires the crowd to sing along, and that he chose to bring the people up onstage that he did, because he had seen us singing along to the words throughout the night. unfortunately, no one listened to him, and people just started making their way onstage without being called. nick being the trooper that he is continued to play the song, and as far as i know finished it. once the stage got rushed, we just stood to the back, because we wanted to respect his space. the girls were stepping all over the wires, and the equipment, snapping pictures in his face, all in all just being extremely disrespectful. nick had a really awesome idea, and if fans could just learn to be respectful, and cooperative, this could have been something he might have done more in the future. it was a really awesome opportunity for those of us actually called up onstage, and all of the people who took it upon themselves to make their way up, ruined it for us. which really just is not fair. but regardless, it was a fun opportunity. but unfortunately, due to the disrespect of so many people, it’s an opportunity no one will have again. after he was finished, nick ducked through the madness, and made his way offstage. once security cleared the fans off the stage, they came out and fixed all the equipment, and nick continued with the show. to clear up the rumors that nick FELL down onto his back with his guitar, or was pushed offstage, or knocked down, HE WAS NOT!!!! words from his own mouth, he did not fall down.   after the show we headed back to our hotel, where nick was also staying. there were quite a few fans waiting outside in the cold to catch a glimpse of him. there were also quite a few people inside! we sort of waited around to say hello, and when he came in he waved and smiled and said “party in the lobby” joking around. he came right over to us & gave us all hugs, and immediately started talking to us about what had happened during ‘stronger.’ he said that his intention was to bring about 10 people up to “start a small choir” and then it just got out of hand. he said that that older man that came up onstage tapped him on the shoulder and said ‘i’m here’ and that his response was (in his head) ‘that’s good, because i didn’t invite you!’ then he told us that he was surprisingly calm, and didn’t freak out when he got mobbed the way that he did. alex stewart showed him a picture that she had taken on her phone, and he was joking about how mike was just standing there not knowing what to do. we told him that it was going to be the last show that we were going to, and his response was a laugh, and “pssht, yeah, if this is your last show, then this is my last show.” :) since in the past we have said it was our last show, and showed up a few days later, ahaha. we took some pictures, said our goodbyes and that was that. we went back up to our room, ordered pizza, watched tv, and just had a good time.

in a perfect world, we will work it out to be at another show or two, but who knows what the future holds.

check back for more updates!

all of us in dc:

January 3rd we packed up the car at 6 am and left NYC to start our 15 hour drive to Nashville TN.. last year at this time we were doing the same exact thing for the “Jonas Brothers and friends” show at the Ryman..  We had been looking forward to getting back to nashville (even though we were here for the world tour show this past summer) because it is one of our favorite places to visit! So full of music and energy.. we would live here.. absolutely. Anyway the drive didn’t seem so bad.. we listened to our ridiculous playlists/danced and laughed.. It felt good to be back in the car and on our way to something we knew would make us unconditionally happy. After our 15 hour drive we didn’t have energy to go out so we passed out as soon as we got there. We woke up bright and early the day of the 4th to get ready to go walk around downtown Nashville and show our friend Ness what Nashville was about.. We went to the Ryman first to see what was going on over there.. Even though it was a seated show, there were already a few girls lingering around the auditorium hoping to get a glance of Nick J arriving to the venue .. We walked around downtown for a bit, went to get some breakfast/lunch at panera and then headed back to the venue to see what was going on.. by this time there were substantially more girls there lingering .. Nick arrived at  the venue at about 230 pm. There were about 30 people (maybe a little more) outside standing by the backstage door he stopped for EVERYONE.  Took pictures, signed autographs said hello to everyone.   After Nick went inside the girls were all still hovering, we decided to escape the cold for a bit and go back to Panera and just hang out before the show.  Its always funny on Jonas show days because its always SWARMING with teenage girls.. this was no different. Even though Joe and Kevin were not performing, Jonas fans seemed to be just as excited to just see Nick J ..I don’t think they knew what they were in for.. actually i don’t think any of us knew what we were in for.  Finally at 6 pm the doors were open and we went to our seats. We had great seats and we were so excited to see what Nick J had in store for us!! Christa Black was at the show sitting in the balcony. When people realized she was up there, there was a crowd of girls swarming and asking for pictures. Of course she graciously took pictures with a smile on her face. Diane Birch took the stage and totally killed it. Her music is great and very different. Definitely check her out.. after about 30 minutes in between sets Nick J finally took the stage.. He was GLEAMING the energy was SO high! He sounded great and the new songs were SOO amazing. It is absolutely an older, more mature and old school rock sound.

Who I Am

Although the band sang a few Jonas Brothers songs, they were completely re worked versions and sounded completely different. It was amazing what Nick did with those songs. Seeing “inseparable” live was completely incredible. Especially since the arrangement was so different. They made it into almost a funk version of the song. Although the audience absolutely enjoyed the show, the energy was substantially lower during the new music then the revisited Jonas Brothers songs (mostly because of the usual young demographic). I truly believe that this record is going to blow the minds of the music industry and show the world that Nick (and his brothers) are not just another “disney channel band” but they are amazingly  talented, Legit musicians and here to stay!!!  we are going to share some pictures from just hanging and the show in Nashville .. Now we have to get ready and get in the car for our 11 hour drive to DC!!! give us some feedback and tell us what you think!!!!
