My sister and I are obsessed with American Idol and we went to the concert last year for her birthday. We decided to keep with the tradition and go again this year!
The day all started out fine, we were going to leave after church and walk around the plaza in Kansas City and have dinner before going to the concert.
Well, half way to KC, I realized I had forgotten the tickets! OH NO! We called the box office and luckily they said we could just show our id and the card we used to purchase the tickets. WHEW! We thought we were out of the woods but then as we were headed back to the car to drive to the concert after dinner, I found that my keys were definitely not in my purse and definitely in the ignition still! AHH!
It was already 6 by this time and we had to get to the venue and get our tickets in an hour! We finally found a number for a locksmith and called and realized he wouldn't make it in time so we made an appt. to meet him there after the concert. So, we jumped in a taxi and made our way to the concert!
We were able to get our tickets just fine and we found our seats. Everything seemed to be going great until...
The lady beside me tapped my shoulder. I looked over to her and she said, "Do you realize that everyone behind you can see because you guys are standing up?" I graciously said sorry and went back to my concert. She again said, "are you not going to sit down? Are you okay with everyone behind you talking about you?" I again said I was sorry but we paid for our seats and we wanted to stand during this song! I started to ignore her but she would not give up and started to get in my face. She was threateningme and said, "Well, I am just going to exercise my right to stand here by you and bug you all night!" I kept ignoring her until she blew in my face! I turned completely around and said, "Excuse Me? Didd you just blow in my face?" She would not leave us along and started to make a scene so then I did feel bad for the people around us. I DID NOT want to give in to her but reluctantly sat down. Bethany went to one of the venue employees and asked if we were able to stand it that section...of course he said yes. So, we behaved (for the most part) but when one person stood up in that section, you better believe we did too! She didn't say anything for the rest of the night. GRR!!!!
The rest of the concert was so good and we had so much fun!
After, we wanted to see the idols at the meet and greet so we left the concert a little early and made our way outside. We got right up to the fence and were able to talk to, high five, and get pictures and autographs of the idols! We were sad that Adam (our favorite) wasn't able to come meet everyone due to a photo shoot...BOO! We did get to see about 7 of the top ten and I got Kris Allen (THE American Idol) to sign my cell phone! Haha!
We finally got back to the car close to midnight and paid an absurd amount of money for this guy to break into my car (which took about 30 seconds.) We started our journey back to Springfield and finally rolled into bed around 3:30...only to get up in 2 1/2 hours for work!
