I went to see Greyson Chance and Cody Simpson on Saturday, May 14, at the Anaheim House of Blues, and I had a blast! (;
I went with my mom, of course, and my best friend, Andrea.
Before you read this, watch this video to see all the pictures.
We left at around 9AM and got there at around 10AM. Andi and I spent the entire car ride basically just looking at the license plates of cars and playing several games of Punch Buggy. I remember when we were about three miles away from the venue, there was a lot of traffic. I legit bawled my eyes out. XD
When we got there, we got into a special line and got pink wristbands. To get into the line, we had to go into the House of Blues store and spend $40. Andi and I just got matching shirts.
After we did that, my mom left us in the line to get food because we were starving. I remember, waiting in line, we saw two celebs: Jessica Jarrell and Christian Beadles.
Jessica was pretty far from us so we didn't exactly get to see her very well, but you'll never guess how I met Christian - HE WALKED RIGHT IN FRONT OF US.
I was so starstruck I couldn't even get my camera out fast enough. HE SAID SOMETHING TO ME THOUGH! He said: "Excuse me." AHHH! ;D
Finally, mom came back to Andi and I spazzing out. Then, we went into the venue and looked for a good place to stand, since it was a standing show.
We ended up in the pit, about two feet away from the stage. It was so freaking crowded. Seriously. We got so hot because everyone was near us, and everyone kept pushing and shoving. -_-
The first person to come on was Cody's DJ, Epic Twelve. He's only 16 but he DJ'd like a pro! I was singing along to all the songs he put on, and I personally thought he should have DJ'd our school dance. He was on for about 30 minutes. Epic also threw out VIP passes!
Then Shane Harper came on. He was amazing! He sung the songs Dance With Me, Rocketship, Wait For Me, One Step Closer and a few other songs. He was so talented and said that Anaheim is the best crowd. He looked at me twice, once during Dance With Me and another time during One Step Closer. It was probably because I was singing all the words? =P He was throwing out t-shirts and stuff.
Then Camryn came on. I don't know all the songs she sung but I know one, I Love Being A Girl. She acted so mature and she wore a lot of make-up. When she announced she was only 11, everyone was like: "OMG! SHE'S SO CUTE!" Where as I was all: "She's the same age as me?" She was really good, though. She threw out guitar picks. I was kind of worried that it would hit me in the eye. XD
Then there was a 30 minute intermission and it was so long. Like, seriously. Everyone kept chanting: "GREYSON!" or "CODY!" and we all got so hot and sweaty.
Finally, Greyson and Cody came on the stage, opening up with a totally sick instrumental. Greyson on the piano and Cody on the guitar. It was... unbelievable. I laid my head on Andi's shoulder and we were like, screaming together. lol
Then Cody went off and Greyson stayed on. He sung the songs Heart Like Stone, Light Up the Dark, Paparazzi, Fire, Empire State of Mind, Unfriend You and Waiting Outside the Lines. He looked at me three times, once during Light Up the Dark and twice during Unfriend You. That's why Unfriend You is officially the best song in the world. Anyway, he said we were so amazing that he even got a camera out and took a picture of us... GOSH HE'S SO ADORABLE. <3
Then, after Greyson went off, Cody went on. He sung the songs Round of Applause, iYiYi [which was perfect, because May 14 is the one year anniversary of the song being on iTunes], Don't Cry Your Heart Out, On My Mind, I Found You, some song I didn't get the name of and All Day. During All Day he dougied, and yes, he is an amazing dougier, especially live. <3 He looked at me four times, once during iYiYi and On My Mind, and twice during All Day.
When the show ended, we rushed to get something to drink, then asked the lady if we could go up to the meet-and-greet. She said Cody wouldn't be there because of Wango Tango [a radio event] but we didn't care about that. She wouldn't let us go up at first because it was "closed" but she let us go up eventually, after realizing that we were total superfans. That lady was nice. =P
We were at the very back at the line, so Andi and I took the opportunity and went to the bathroom. lol Then, my mom saved our spot in line as we went to go up to the merchandise table, which was legit right next to where Greyson was meeting fans. I spent $70 on his merchandise, and I bought a bracelet, necklace, totebag and t-shirt. And yes, that came out of my own pocket.
After we bought the merchandise and were about to go back into line we saw Greyson comb his hair back and a lock of his hair stick up... DUDE HE WAS SO CUTE. <3 Andi and I were seriously freaking out because he was too cute when he did that.
My mom was so surprised when she saw what I bought because she thought I would only buy one item. =P Oh well.
Finally, it was our turn. I went up to him and showed him my poster. He said: "Nice poster," and I said: "Thank you." Then he signed it and signed Andi's construction paper poster, which, to be honest, Andi and I agreed it looked like crap. =P He also asked us if we liked the show [we replied: Of course!] and said thanks for coming.
Then, I told him that he owed me a hug so he gave me one. I got it on camera, too. It's my Blogger profile picture, but if you want to see a bigger version of it, its here:
Then, we walked out. But, before we left, Greyson gave my little sister a shout-out and called my mom a very nice person. Then, as we were walking out, we shared this little conversation thing:
Me: I love you Greyson!
Greyson: [smiles and winks]
Me: [waves]
Greyson: [waves back] I hope you had a good time!
BEST DAY OF MY LIFE. PERIOD. I WAS SPAZZING OUT THE ENTIRE RIDE HOME.
So that was it! Thanks to my mom for taking us there and taking all the pictures, Andi for agreeing to come after Bridget's dad dropped out and Greyson for making this the best day ever! <3
Can't wait till the next one! (;
