ok so here's what happened. we got to the arena by like noon and stood out by Justin's buses all afternoon until 3:30. he didn't come out because we found out later that he was quad riding and went to the Columbus zoo. but it was fun meeting so many new people and supporting our idol. at 3:30 we went into the arena and went to get our wristbands for the picture and leave. (I don't consider it a meet and greet. that's a joke) there was a huge misunderstanding about needing ID that we didn't think we had but savanna found her school ID so we were safe. we had to wait around until 6 when the doors opened. I was so nervous about the entire thing. we were afraid we weren't gonna be next to him. so once we got in, we found some of our friends and stood at the back of the line.. for 2 hours. we missed a majority of the opening acts but at the time, it was okay cause we were "meeting" Justin (I use that term in the loosest way possible). so finally the like sped really fast once they started. before we knew it we were downstairs and Justin was right in the curtain in front of us. it felt surreal at first. we then saw Dan Kanter, Justin's main guitarist and got a photo with him. the man is a saint, let me just say. I got to hug him too. then we got back into line and not a second later we were walking into right where justin was. right there. but he didn't even look real. he looked like a robot. like a lookalike. but I saw the backdrop and knew it was real. so our friends pushed beside Justin (-.-) and I was stuck crouching in front of him. wasn't all that bad considering my back was right on him so I was touching him. savanna was next to our one friend on Justin's left side. this other little handicap girl came in with us because we needed six people (aka most ridiculous, stupid policy I've ever witnessed). so anyway me and the little girl were crouched in front of him. I heard him say something to the little girl about crouching down more, and that's when I knew he was real. that was the one thing about this that was familiar.. his voice. the one I know so well and would recognize in less than half a second. so we all looked at the camera and the weirdo behind me (Justin) was acting like the strange white boy he always is and was wearing grills, a black snapback with an orange diamond on it, and sunglasses. anyway we looked at the camera and they took the picture. and once we were done our friends got hugs from him and I for some reason totally forgot about getting a hug. idk how but I did. but I turned around and looked at savanna and saw her about to hug him and was like "oh yeah a hug duh" and walked towards him and apparently the security grabbed savanna before they hugged. which ticked me off when I heard about it. but I called for Justin and handed him a letter I had. idk what he did with it but he has it. all I saw was it was in his hand and he crumpled it up and put it in his pocket. and before I could go in for a hug security pulled me away and I just walked out. they just don't get it. no one seems to. that kid is the reason for why I can be happy. he's saved my life and saved me from so many issues I've dealt with. that kid that I took a picture with, is my entire life. my everything. he's my world. sounds corny but it's true. and security ruined what was supposed to be the most surreal perfect beautiful moment I would ever experience. but security and the stupid 6 people rule ruined it for me. and now ill never have another chance to make it what it's supposed to be. what I deserve. but anyway.. after we walked out Dan was still standing there and savanna and I went up to him and I said "Dan are you able to give justin something for me? " and he said "I'm not allowed to give him any gifts sorry. but there a chair over there and if you put it there security will take it to his dressing room. " as soon as he said that I didn't trust it at first since he said security. I wouldn't trust them as far as I could throw them.. but I said ok and quickly went and put the scrapbook there on the chair and went back to Dan and I was like "I just gotta make sure he gets it. I've had it for 3 years and its important." he said " ill make sure that he gets it. he reads all the letters and stuff that he gets." and savanna like yelled at him and said " you better not be lying to me Dan." and he said "I'm not." and I thanked him like a million times and we left. I saw DJ Tay James and I asked for a picture and he said yeah so I got a selfie with him. so then afterwards we left for the show. we were so upset about how the "meet & greet" went. cause like I said, meeting our idol wasn't supposed to go like that at all. but the show was amazing and one of the girls we met in the morning was the one less lonely girl so that was cool. and during take you, Dan was on our side and we were pretty much the only people going nuts in our section and Dan looked over and we freaked and waved like crazy and he smiled and waved back and we freaked out like crazy. we looked at Dan and he was laughing at us. another thing that happened with Dan was we saw Justin's tour bus and Kenny was in the front seat and he waved to us and Justin was apparently on the other side. Dan was on our side and he took his phone out and recorded us. savanna and I were in it. Dan was the best part of the whole night. that and the show. I was utterly disappointed by the so called "meet and greet." ya know like.. he's my idol. my dream, my biggest dream was to just hug him and tell him what he means to me and to give him the scrapbook I worked so hard on. but it didn't happen like that at all. I just hope Dan kept his promise to me. he's a saint, that man. so that's what happened on what was to be the best day of my life.. turning out to be a sad excuse for an experience. so yes kinda disappointed.. but I still love that boy to death and I always will. none of this is his fault at all. there's nothing he can do. if it were up to him, he'd do individuals or do it by groups. meaning whoever you went to the concert with. in my mind, meeting my idol is still a dream. and it will stay that way until I wrap my arms around him and hug him. till then, it's just a dream.
