Ahh I met Kat!, 9/22 Rhode Island Options

[takethechance]

AHHH! I'm sorry if this is kind of random and doesn't make sense at times but you'll have to forgive me because I'm still in like shock/spaz mode right now! Yesterday we left around 11AM to go to the venue (It was in RI and I live in NH so it's like a 2 hour drive). We got there around 1:00 and I met up with my friend Jen and her sister Liz at the busses. We waited there for a little bit and Kellie, Paris, Kat, Lisa & Mandisa all came out one by one and waved as they went in but no one came over to sign.

At like 3:00 Jen wanted to go inside to see if they had any extra M&G passes because her sister Liz made this AMAZING tourbook for Bucky with laminated & decorated pages for every stop of the tour he's been on and she really wanted to give it to him. So we went in and asked the Poptarts lady if she had any extra passes that she would be able to give out later and told her about Liz's book. She said she wasn't sure but for us to just hang around and if it was a small crowd she'd let us know. After like 10 mins of waiting all of the sudden I get this frantic call from my friend Sam who was waiting at the busses with my sister Julie and she's SCREAMING her head off because she loves Chris and he just came out to sign and gave her a hug and everything. Ace came out to sign after that too and Kat came out and waved again, but somehow I misheard that as Kat was coming out to SIGN so I start running back to the busses and Sam was like no no she just walked inside! lmao so I ran back to the venue with Liz and Jen went down to the busses just incase Kat or Bucky actually did come out to sign. The M&G was running really late because Ace wouldn't stop signing at the busses so finally at like 4:30 they made him come in. The Poptarts lady looked through Liz's book and said she'd give us 2 passes but no more because they wanted to keep it a small crowd. Jen had an after party pass to meet Katharine after the show so she said I could take the M&G one to go meet her with Liz. I totally DIED at the point. (Jen, you are my hero for like.. life. )

So we got in line with all the people for the M&G at the way end because we wanted to be able to talk to the idols without being rushed along. Finally after everyone was in got to the door but I couldn't really see around the corner so I asked the little girl in front of me if she could see Katharine but she didn't know who she was so I was like "The really pretty one! She has short hair now!" and she's like "OHH yep I see her! She's there!" I almost died.. lmfao again. I was shaking soo much when we finally walked in. I immediately looked down the table and saw Kat sitting at the end next to Taylor. She had a box of tissues with her and really didn't look like she felt good. She had her glasses on though! The security was being annoying about cameras and they wouldn't let me take pics because the little girls in front of us had stopped with like EVERY idol to take pics and it really slowed the line down. So I like refused to not be able to get anything on camera so I started a video haha. First I met Kellie, then Paris, Lisa, Mandisa, Bucky, Chris, Ace & Elliott. They were all really nice & you can see what a dork I am and stuff in the video because this review is already like 40 pages long as it is! haha. Anyway so my video is going good and security hasen't noticed or anything & I get to Ace. He signed my tourbook and I said thank you, tried to move onto Elliott, but he stopped me and was like " OMG you want a pic?!" I was like UHHHHHH O_O cause Kat was next and I really only wanted to record her but of course Ace is Ace so I had to stop the video and I took a pic of Elliott & him together, haha. (That's why the video is in 2 parts between the Top 8 & Kat and Taylor).

I quickly switched back to video for Kat and handed her my book. I had NO idea what to say omg I was shaking soo much. I was just like "Kat I'm so sorry you're sick!" and she was like "Aww it's okayy", but I could tell she really didn't feel well. :[ She said nice to meet you and I said you too, then I stepped to the side because Liz was still further up the table talking to Bucky about the book (we were the last 2 people in line) and one of the tour managers was waiting behind me to talk to Kat. I stopped my video then because I figured that was the only time I was gonna be able to talk to her and stepped to the side. As I was standing there I decided to try and take a few pics of her while the guy talked to her & I got a few without security noticing! hehe :] After that it was just me and her standing there as she waited for Liz to make her way down and I was just seriously standing there staring at her like "omfg I cannot believe I'm standing in front of Katharine McPhee." haha She noticed me looking at her and motioned for me to come over again so I did and she was like "Aww! I love your shirt, that's so cute." (My Shirt) I was like thanks it took a really long time to make! and she was like "Aww I bet!". I told her that my friend Jen had after party passes for tonight and was gonna give her a letter from me and she got all excited and was like "Ooh I love letters!!" I have no idea what I said after that because I was still in total shock that I was actually talking to Katharine McPhee, but we talked about something else while she waited. Liz's picture finally got down to her and she signed it and then got up to go backstage for soundcheck. She said something to me about soundchecks and laughed but I don't remember what it was because I was still like . The tour manager started walking her away and then she turned around to wave and say bye to me and I thanked her again as she walked into the arena. I died for a third time.

AHH I still can't believe I actually met her. NOTHING like this ever happens to me and I just feel so thankful that I had this opportunity that I can't even put it into words. Kat is seriously the nicest and most down-to-earth person I've ever met. She makes you feel like you've known her forever and you're one of her friends or something. It's hard to explain but people that have met her will know what I'm talking about. Also, she is MUCH more quiet & reserved in person than she is on TV/stage! She's very soft-spoken and sweet while she talks to you. Ahh I just love her so much! All the other idols were really nice too, except Taylor. =/ You'll see in my video, he didn't even look at me when I said thank you and then just got up to leave. After that one of the backstage people was telling him aboiut something and he goes "I already know that, I'm not stupid. Don't treat me like I'm an idiot, I know what I'm doing.", and walked away. So uhh yeah I don't know what that was all about but I was too busy staring at Kat to care.

Okay! Here's my media from the day/concert. I recorded all of Kat's performances & it's they're good quality videos because we had good seats & my new camera I got for my birthday has like amazing zoom. Enjoy!
