(A.k.a. One of the best days of my life.)

Phew. Where to begin? Let's see. Well, my mom, my sister, and I left an hour and a half early to catch the 7:30 P.M. show. It's in the Honda Center of Anaheim. Whoo! Traffic wasn't that bad. On the way there, we kept taking the wrong turns. Haha, it was so funny. My mom was like "Where? Huh?! Take a right? Where?" My sister always wants to sit in the front, so she did the informing and laughing as well.

Entrance: Well, the line was ultimately long, but not too long. We only waited fifteen minutes or so. My bag didn't need to be checked. As if I would do anything to interrupt or harm the dancers. I love them. Anyway, we got our tickets, but we passed by the merchandise area. I really wanted a shirt but we ended up not getting one. I saw one too many crazy teenage girls. xD Way too many. Some even wanted to cut in line behind us, but these stuck-up girls were gossiping on how they were so-and-so. So, we bought a wristband, buttons, and a poster. Everything was really pricey... and for a good reason. Haha. A lot of demand.

Going inside: The Honda Center arena is huge. Like stadium huge. It was really scary looking down at the lower seats. If I leaned, I could have fallen down many steps or seats. xD Then the show started a few minutes late. No problem. First was the intro, old and new dances, and so on. I can't go into detail. My brain doesn't work like that. Haha. Anyway, my faves were Katee and Joshua dancing the Samba, Bollywood, Contemporary, and Hip-hop. Gev and Courtney had so many hilarious moments. I was saying "Aww..." all the time when Gev tried to flirt with Courtney but she had to turn him down because she had her boyfriend. He even dressed in girly outfits from other countries to represent dances from Russia and India. So much fun. Phew. I wish I could have recorded it all. All of it was priceless. Yes, the restroom lines and food lines were ridiculous, but that was expected. Heh. Yeah, I had so much fun. When they danced their last dance, it was a Grease montage. Thanks to Twitch wanting one more dance before we go. I love him. And I love Joshua.

Autographs! It was a two hour wait. I think. I didn't have my phone out constantly to check. It was so funny though. This girl kept yelling "Twitch!" to every non-dance/non-Twitch person coming out of the doors. There were these bar fences like in paparazzi places and movie openings. So no running up to them. xD First came Thaine, then Chelsea T., Gev, Kherrington, Comfort, Katee, Twitch (Whoo!), Mark, Jessica, Joshua (Whoo!), hmm... oops Will, then *remembers* Courtney, and Chelsea. I don't think I missed anyone. I got everyone's autograph on my huge poster (I should really take a picture of it to show you guys) except Thain and Chelsea T's (I think). Yeah, I may have misplaced the order up there. The nicest peeps were Twitch, Joshua, Mark, Jessica, Will, and that's it. Well, they were nice in my eyes. Haha, my sister missed Gev the first time then he came back a second time. Miracle, huh? So, starting with my encounters. Okay, so Melinda (my sister) got most of the pictures with the dancers except with Joshua and Mark. (I think) Okay. Twitch had one of the best outfits. A superhero shirt and then a Superman cap (which I loved). So in style. He had his signature glasses too. Hee. When he came over, people were yelling and screaming with excitement. My mom helped us out by sending over the poster for him to sign. His sig is awesome. Then he glanced at me for a bit, smiling. Wow, I think he looked at me. I saw his eyes on mine. xD Good thing I waved at him. But, no hugs. Darn people were crowding around the bars. Joshua was soo sweet. He said "You're welcome" when we said our thanks. He was beyond kind. I love him soo much. When we took pictures of him, he had his hand on my shoulder (I think). It was better than nothing. xD I wish I had a picture with Twitch, but only with little room, my sister took the spot where I could be. Oh well. crying Then Chelsea was the last to sign. It was time to go. Lights were out. They headed to their buses. But, the dancers recorded us cheering, so that means something. Heh.

I will post pictures, but I warn you. I don't look fantastic. xP Darn flash from the camera and my not knowing how to smile at the right time.


Thanks for reading, peeps!
