Early in February, my two friends and I (Sam and Lacey) bought VIP for Big Time Rush. We knew that this would be the greatest day of our young lives... Months past and FINALLY the day came. This is how it went :
My alarm went off at exactly 6:00 A.M. on Sunday morning. My eyes popped wide open, and I looked down on my floor to see my friends sleeping in a pile of blankets. I went to the iPod on my phone and blasted "MSBWU". Their eyes popped open too and we proceeded to happy dance, and then get ready for the show.
After we were all ready and in our shirts (which you can see in our M&G pic below), we started out on the road. It was a 2 hour drive to Tulsa and needless to say, we listened to BTR the WHOOOOLE way there. At approx. 10:15 A.M. , we finally drove up on the corner of 3rd and Denver, and we immediately spotted all the tour busses. I'd say there were about 7 busses in all. We started screaming and getting excited, but after driving around the venue a few times with our windows down playing the song "Windows Down", we decided that we probably looked a little stupid, so we went to find a place to park. After about 10 minutes, we found a place to park about a block away from where the tour busses were. It wasn't a bad spot considering that there were probably over 15,000 people that showed up to the show.
After we parked, we quickly walked over to where to tour busses were. There was a black fence about 8 feet high (you could see through the bars, they were about a foot apart each) and the drive through gate was wiiiiiiiide open. There were only about 5 people standing over by the fence, so we decided to try our luck and see if we could spot anything. Within the first 10 minutes of us standing there, we saw Carlos come out the back of the venue and proceed to get in a white van. We all yelled "CARLOS!!!! HI CARLOS!!!!" and of course, he gave us a huge smile and a goofy wave. About 15 minutes passed and low and behold, Logan comes around the corner on his skateboard, trying to look all cool....just being Logan. We we yelled at him and he smiled and waved too. After Logan got in the van with Carlos, they drove away (and according to several tweets afterwards, they went to the gym). We stayed by the fence probably 5 minutes after they left, because by this time we were starving and sweating all of our make up off. We left the bus area, and asked a few locals where we could get something to eat. The closest place was about 6 blocks away, so we started walking. On the way there, we forgot where the place was so we decided to ask someone. We asked him and sadly, he did not know. His exact reply was " Sorry, I'm not from around here, I'm with the tour". We said thanks, and started to walk away...but a after about 3 steps, lacey said..."I think he said he was with the tour!" So we backtracked and asked him if he was...turns out he was one of the semi-truck drivers for Big Time Rush. We asked him a bunch of questions and he told us how great all the guys were and how nice and funny they all were. (Being rushers, we already knew this of course, but we didn't want to be rude and interrupt him) After we were done talking with him, we went on to find the place and eat.
After we ate, it was about 1:15. We decided to go back to the tour busses and see if anything was happening. Since VIP check in was at 3:00 P.M., we knew we wouldn't have much time and we weren't feeling very lucky but we figured we'd try anyway since there wasn't much to do. When we arrived back at the gate, there were about 10 people there (a few more than last time), and a barricade had been put up. The way the barricade had been set up, you couldn't really see anything past the first bus, so my friends and I decided to stand on the other side of the gate opening, where we had a clear view of who went in and out of the back door to the venue. We stood there for about 15 minutes, seeing all sorts of people (Rachel Crow, Cody Simpson's back up dancers, security guards), but none of them were with BTR. After about 10 more minutes of standing in the exhausting heat, a familiar looking person walked out of the back door. They had big sun glasses on so we couldn't tell who it was at first...but as they got closer, I was the first to realize it was James Maslow. We all screamed and waved and he waved back, and then went onto his tour bus. We waited about 10 minutes for him and then he started walking our way. I thought he was simply going to get on the tour bus that was parked closest to us, but he ended up coming through the gate by the barricade, and he started taking pictures with everyone (the 10 people that were out there). We ended up getting a picture and he got to sign me, sams, and lacey's shirts, but then Ranal came out and was rushing him to get back inside, so we only got about 7 minutes of James time...but I'm not complaining!!
Finally, after waiting in line for what seemed like FOREVER, it was time for VIP check-in. They checked out bags (they had to see down to the VERY bottom) and then ushered us inside, where there was ANOTHER line. We got up to a table, and had to sign our names and show them our I.D.s and then we received our VIP laminate. We had to wait around for about another 45 minutes for everyone else to get checked in. There were about 250 people in all. After everyone was checked in, we were all ushered into the arena, where we were to witness sound check. My friends and I were lucky, so we got the VERY front, right in front of james and kendall. They played a song, and then answered a few questions. As James was answering a question, my friends and I saw Carlos looking at our shirts...He was pointing at Sam's shirt (says "Carlos Can I Suck Your Pena?") and laughing REALLY hard, and he whispered in Logan's ear and Logan looked at us with a confused look on his face. He turned to Carlos and we saw him mouth " What does that even mean?" After Carlos told him, Logan just said "ohh...." and then he read the rest of our shirts. They continued to play a few songs and answer more questions, and when things were quiet for a few seconds, I got James's attention and asked him to do his Christopher Walken impression, and HE DID! After that, we got Kendall's attention and he read our shirts and said into the microphone for everyone to hear "We've got some girls with some awesome shirts up here, but we can't tell you what they say...." and then when they were about to walk off stage, Kendall was putting his guitar back in its case and I squeezed one more question in (What his shoe size is), and then he came off stage, walked RIGHT up to my friend Sam and hugged her, gave her his guitar pic, and told her her shirt was " too much") and then they all left. After that, we were immediately ushered into the hall backstage and we were made to form a HUGE line. My friends and I were sort of at the beginning, so we didnt have to wait long before we got to go in. The whole thing was very fast and very rushed. We were sent into a big, empty room with two white tables in the dead center. We were told to put all of our bags on one of the tables, and our gifts for the boys on the other table. This was VERY upsetting because for 5 months my friends and I had looked forward to personally hand delivering the boys the gifts we had picked out especially for them. (How would they know which gift was to who? when would they get it?) We were really upset. But after we put our things down, it was time to take the picture. Carlos pulled sam to the side and took a picture of her with her shirt on HIS own phone. As soon as we were sent up to take the picture, I ran up and clung to kendall. I was on his left side, but I guess I had to be on his right side, so he said "you gotta go to the other side, sweetie" So of course, I was thinking "Yes master....". I put my arm around his waist, and he put his arm around my shoulder and then he said "wait a second, move your hair" Then he PUSHED MY HAIR AWAY FROM MY SHOULDER and then he said "and move this thingy" and he PULLED AWAY MY VIP LAMINATE STRING so that people could read my shirt in the picture. After the picture was taken, Kendall put both arms around me in a HUGE hug and he pulled me away, looked into my eyes, and said "hun, your shirt is really awesome!" and then we were told to hurry and leave. I got to give Logan a side-hug (he said "oh, hey...") And as I was moving in to hug Carlos, the security guard grabbed my arm and said "you need to go". I walked out, and started crying because I had hugged every one of them that day except carlos... But after that, we were ushered back up the stairs to the first floor and we got to get our VIP "Swag-Bags" and we got to buy merchandise without the huge crowd. After that, we stood around for about 30 more minutes and the curtains finally opened to let us in. My friends and I were the FIRST ones in our seats. We sat down for about 10 minutes and noticed that not very many people had come in, so we were looking around and all of a sudden we see Logan skateboarding through one of the isles and Kendall was walking right behind him. They looked like they were in a hurry but they still waved. (Please note that they were less than 10 feet away, we could have run up and bombarded them, but we thought that would have been very annoying and rude) When they had almost exited the general admission area, we saw Logan fall off his skateboard (he was okay, it was just a stumble).
After that, we got to enjoy the show. I won't spoil that, you can look up videos! (: That was it!! I had the most fun I've ever had in my entire life.
