Destination Meet Nick Jonas (:
^ link to pics i took. (:
Waking up at 6 was no day in the park. Very hard.
Me and my sister left the house at 7:45am to catch the train station by my house. Once we were on the train,, I began to ponder what I was going to say to him if I got the chance to meet him.
My hopes were up in meeting him, because I didn’t think there would be that many fan girls there today.

Once we got there, we walked around the building, looked at the entrances to see which entrance we would most likely go through. We walked in, the building has 13 floors, shops around. We go into a store once we noticed that inside the store there were stairs that led to the National Press Club. Me and my sister are thinking that we are like super smart for figuring out a way around the security. Of course that wasn’t the case. The stairs led us to the main desk of the building. Me and my sister decided to act like we know what we are doing. We walk around for about 30 minutes, looking for the Ballroom, I knew that is where the lunch on was going to be.
We notice that there is button inside the elevator that leads to the Press Club floor. (Floor 13) We go up, and once we get off we notice a big picture of Nick. We go to the main desk to talk to the secretary. Trying to find out if she knew which entrance he was going to go through. We knew they wouldn’t sell us tickets unless we were part of the Press Club. She was the sweetest person. She didn’t know which entrance he was going to use, but she told us she was going to try to get us tickets. She told us to hang around and that she would talk to her boss once she got there at 11. I handed her my phone number and me and my sister go back down and walk around the store. Looking at clothes.
We go back outside, since that sotre had like nothing that we were interested in. We see some girls with JB shirts on walking around. At 11, we notice that more and more people are walking into the press club, so we up to the 13th floor. We go to the front desk, and she tells us to hold on. She then signals us to walk over. She was talking to an older looking lady. Her boss (Patty), tells us her name and that if anybody asks we are her guest. The secretary (I forgot to ask her for her name) then hands us the forms to fill out and we pay for the tickets.($32 for both tickets! Very good We go wait in the line where people where already waiting. We had to wait for about an hour. (No problem for any Jonas fan, since most of us have waited a lot longer.) They start to allow people to walk farther down the hall and then into the ballroom. There is this desk set up along the wall that when you pass it, you grab a folder, the A Little Bit Longer Tag, and a Bayer brochure. Nick’s face is all over those things. We then walk into the ballroom, and take our seat. The salad was already in our places. Looked really good, but tasted disgusting. The president of the Club talks us through the rules, and then explains why there are cameras around. There was no screaming allowed, (Thank god, screaming girls annoy me when it’s not a concert.) I go outside to see if there was any way I could meet Nick. I talk to some Bayer people. Pass the Diabetes testing table. (People with diabetes where allowed to take their blood sugar levels there.) Then I meet this weird, but cool dude. I explain to him that I want to get my letter to him, and I want to meet him if possible. He tells me that he will come find me if he finds out anything of meeting him.
I go back to my seat, and I begin to eat my salad. I only pick the strawberries out. The rest tasted gross. The dude that was telling me that he will come find me, taps me on the shoulder and talks really load and says “Give me the letter. I’ll get it to him.” I had him the letter, and he runs towards the table where Nick was going to be sitting. The table was a long table in the front facing the rest of the tables, with a podium in the middle of the 2 tables facing the rest. He hands the stuff to a lady that then runs towards the back. I’m guessing that was were Nick was. There was seccurtiy infront of the door so I didn’t even bother to try to get in.
About 30 minutes later, Nick walks out, Papa Jonas behind him. Everyone begins to clap. He sits down at the table. A lady in between Nick and Papa Jonas. The press club president then does introductions. They bring out the main course. I am like trying to not look at Nick because I wouldn’t like people staring at me when I eat. Of course I occasionally look at him. He was adorable. I saw him stuff a big piece of chicken in his mouth, and then attempt to close it. It was really funny and cute.
I attempted to eat my food, but it was flavor less, and gross. I don’t know how Nick was able to eat his food. After the whole front table finished eating, they begin to take our plates, and people being to re position their chairs in order to be facing the front table. The press club president introduces Nick again, and we applaud him. He then begins his speech. Look at the videos! (http://tinyurl.com/n8sehp)
For the 1st time in a while did I see Nick give a real smile. Everyone was asked to write questions and place the cards in the front desk. After his speech, The press club president asks the question, and he answers them. He did this for about 20 questions. He gives really good answers. We saw him blush when asked if he was dating anyone. Then asked if he would ever date a fan. Then he talked about Kevin and Danielle. He says his goodbyes, and then people begin to walk up to the desk, and I also go up. He is walking down from the podium, and he walks infrot of the fans already there. He walks down the line. He gets to me, and shakes my hand. His eyes are so beautiful. I ask if I can have a picture, and he was already being pulled forward so he turns back and say “Sorry. I’m being pushed.” He goes into the room he had came out of earlier.
We take the elevator down thinking he was going to leave already. We go out side, and WOW! About 30 girls were waiting by the main entrance. We exit and notice about another 20 girls by the parking garage. We see the escalade was parked inside. My sister says she’ll stay out here, and that I should go in and see if I can find him in there. I go up to the main desk of the 13th floor, and the secretary says that he is no longer on this floor. I thank her again for getting me the tickets, and this photographer guy was holding the door for me. He tells me that he knows that he is on either 12th, 11th, or 10th. He is also looking for them. Not to meet him, but to try to find him just for the fun of it. We ride down the elevator. No sign of nick. He tells me that my best bet would be to wait out by the main entrance, or to go the 13th floor, then go right then right again then go straight. I go outside and tell her the options. We decided to go with option 2. We go back to the 13th floor, and go right then right again then straight. We hit a dead end. (great) We go back to where the ballroom was, and we see a staff member. We ask him if he knew where Nick was. He tells me he is no longer on this floor, and to try my luck on the 4th floor. We go back to the elevator, and then we press the 4th floor. We go down and walk towards were we hear voices, and we see PAPA JONAS inside the room. There was a glass door. Someone had told us that Nick would be doing interviews somewhere in the building so we assume that Nick is there. We wait by the wall. So we don’t look like creepers waiting outside the glass door. They can’t see us unless they go out of the room. 2 security people come out and they go past us, but then turn around and asks us if we are allowed to be here. We tell him we are with the event, and he says well you don’t have access to this floor. He then escorts us out of the building. (we got kicked out.) We decided to just wait around with the rest of the fans. We were waiting by the main entrance, then we moved to the parking garage.
They had set up barricades, and security was everywhere. I go to the barricade, and talk to some of the girls waiting there. I tell them about the event since they asked if I had gone inside. We wait around for about an hour. The lunch had ended at 1:47, the escalade finally came out at 3:20ish. Nick rolls down his window, and waves to the fans. Lucky me, I was on the side that he was on. He smiles, and then drives away. Me along other fans chase the car. We cross the street with out looking. I almost get run over. Horns are honking. Nicks escalade had come to a red light. Some of the girls are banging on the window. I’m just staring inside. I see Nick. He such a beautiful boy. Then the car drives away.
That was the end of my experience. I didn’t get to take a picture with him, or get his autograph, but I did get my letter to him. That’s all that matters right?
This brings my Jonas summer to an end. From freaking out when Lines, Vines, and Trying Times came in the mail. To waiting outside the verizon center for 12 hours for the concert. To meeting Mandy, and my summer ties all together with a hand shake from Nick. Can’t wait to see what is the nest Jonas adventure! (: Hopefully meeting Joe and Kevin.
I have now touched Kevin’s, Nick’s, and Frankie’s hand! I touched a Jonas and I liked it.
