Backstreet Boys in Orlando on June 1, 2010 / My-Confession.Net
Sorry it’s taken so long for me to update about he Orlando show. I was so drained Tuesday night and Wednesday morning when I woke up that I just wanted to go to sleep and leave to come home. I didn’t get online until today, this afternoon actually.
Let’s see… the show.
Well, I think the Clearwater show was better but you could tell the guys were really excited to be back in Orlando. The crowd was crazy excited about the show!
I was third row on the right edge and I didn’t like my seat. I didn’t have any friends around me, except for Holly for part of the night but then she was kicked out of the seat because the actual seat owners showed up.
The only thing that pissed me off was that I didn’t have my camera. Because the management was so picky about cameras the night before (they kept telling me my Canon Powershot was professional when it’s not), I only took my point and shoot since the Hard Rock said no cameras. I got to go in early because my mom is disabled and they didn’t check my bag.
Then it turns out, they let cameras in and people sat there in front of me with professional cameras like my new one.
That pissed me off.

Overall the concert was awesome, just like the night before but I’ve come to realize that I’m so not a stalker. I’m not one of these crazies that follow the tour. I don’t know how they afford it but the thing that gets me is they are so obsessed with going to shows that I wonder what they will do when the guys break up or something. You know? It doesn’t seem healthy. And there are people like this. I’ve seen them. I’ve met a few. It just amazes me.
And in a lot of ways, they ruin it for a lot of fans. They act like they are better than other fans or that they are more of a fan than others because they can “afford” to do that kind of stuff. It doesn’t make them a bigger fan…. it makes them a bit crazy.
I’m not sure if I will do anything like this again, the two concerts back to back, three in all. I mean, I had a great time and got to see a lot of friends that I know and hang out with them some, but it just made me realize that I’m more grown up and mature.
I mean, sure I say that and I’m a fan fiction writer (lol), but you guys know what I mean.
I have the Valdosta concert this weekend that I’m basically working also. I have a good bit of friends that are coming for it, but for some reason, I’m not looking forward to it and I should. It’s my hometown. My boys are coming here.
Why am I not excited?
I’m slowly uploading pictures to my flickr account. My internet connection sucks. All of Orlando are up. Clearwater is still in process :)

Thanks guys :) I really appreciate it and know what you all mean.
I think my enthusiasm for Valdosta has went up a little. Will probably be meeting the guys :)

Stinks that camera policies vary from venue to venue. Glad that you had a great time at both of those shows though despite the crazy fans that were there. Maybe your enthusiasm for the Valdosta show will grow the day of or something?

You are a lucky lady. I’m glad you got to enjoy the concerts. I think it blows that they wouldn’t let you take your camera in when other people got to. I was wondering you said that you have uploaded some pics to your flicker account. What is your account under? I would love to see them. Thank you for an awesome site.

For some weird reason I could not place my cursor elsewhere to delete my spelling errors while writing. Could you please find out if others have that problem as well?

Don’t get me wrong, I will always love the boys, but I think that they would rather want me to use my money to invest it in my future and bring along the confidence that I have been given by them through their music. That would be a much more happy thought, to know that they have influenced someone’s live, just like they were your inspiration to write and now you are a journalist for real. That’s amazing and means so much more than standing in line to get a picture.

Dear Karah,
I will tell you what, spending my money on a VIPpackage was the biggest mistake of my life. Once it began I immediately felt as if I did not belong there. It was all so rushed and most fans just talked to the crew as if they had been friends for a long time. There was just nothing spontaneous about it and it made me wonder why people are so wiling to be known in a world that’s so shallow. There were several mothers who had kids at home and they were going to do 5 platinum VIP packages. I even overheard one guy, yes a guy telling other fans that he lied to his girlfriend about how many vip packages he was going to do, he told her 3, when in reality it was 6. It felt just really wrong and all I could think was: The boys are not going to remember you by how much money you spent on them, they are going to remember you when it is something spontaneous, but even then you cannot count on that. Just try and find your luck in the family and friends you have at home and not in whether the boys will know you personally or not.
Pfew. can you tell it really bothers me?
