On December 17, 2011 one of best friends and I attended the Stevie Wonder House of Toys Benefit concert in LA. We were both so excited because Justin Bieber was going to be there! That day we showed up to the Nokia Theatre LA LIVE around 1 p.m. just to see if we could somehow meet, or even get a glimpse of Justin and the crew. We met up with another one of my friends and went to the back of theatre (where the celebs usually get dropped off) and waited. Over time, more and more beliebers started showing, and it starting raining. But of course that didn’t stop us. It was around 6 p.m. when a black SUV pulled up. We thought, “Omg is it Justin!?” Everyone was freaking out. It wasn’t Justin, it was Dan Kanter and Scrappy!!!!! I couldn’t believe it!!! We called over to them and they waved and stuff, then Scrappy walked over to my friend so she could give him something for Justin and I nervously asked him if I could, “meet him” and proceeded to shake his hand. After that excitement, we continued to wait for Justin. Then some minutes later here comes Dan and Scrappy AGAIN walking over to us! This time I wasn’t going to miss my chance of actually meeting them. I kindly, (and still nervously) asked Dan if i could have a hug and take a picture. He replied “Yes” with a smile. Then I asked Scrappy too! I remember shaking so much, I’m surprised I could even take the picture! After that I asked Dan if he remembered me because he’s dm’d me on Twitter many times and he totally did! He even recognized my “Down to Earth” tattoo! I couldn’t believe what I was hearing, I mean, I’ve dreamt of this stuff actually happening but never thought I would be so lucky! They continued to hang out and take pics and sign autographs for a couple minutess, but before they left I asked Scrappy if he would give Justin this Canadian flag (with mine and my friends twitter names on it) and he said “Yeah, no problem!” I always knew Dan and Scrappy were nice people, but after meeting them it just shows me why I support Team Bieber as much as I do. Eventually they had to go in because the concert was going to start soon so we said our goodbyes and when Dan and Scrappy were walking away we sang the “Dan Kanter” song! Scrappy loved it! A minute later, another black SUV pulls into the entrance and it was JUSTIN! Unfortunately, he couldn’t come out to meet us. But still knowing we got that small glimpse of him made our nights (well besides hanging out with Dan and Scrappy!) By this time it was 7:30 p.m. We finally made our way into the building and were shown our seats, which were awesome by the way! We were soooo close! Before the show we decided to go get some water (because of all the fan girling we were doing made us thirsty) lol. On our way to the bathroom my friend stopped and yelled, “OMG, ITS KENNY!” We ran over to him and asked him for a hug! I gave him the biggest hug ever! He was so sweet. I was freaking out, still thinking to myself this stuff never happens to me! Finally, the show started. Justin didn’t come on until about half way through the show. Once he did something came over me. I started crying and couldn’t stop. The feeling I had was almost indescribable. I was so proud to see him up there singing “Someday at Christmas” with Stevie Wonder, someone he looked up to so much. All I kept thinking of was kidrauhl singing the same song years ago. So during all this going on people kept walking by, but this one guy stuck out to me… it was ALFREDO FLORES!!!!!! I did a double take cause I couldn’t believe my eyes! I yelled out “FREDO!?” and he turned around. At this point all I could get out was “Omg, I love you so much! May I have a picture?” And he smiled (with that oh so cute smile) and said, “Aww love you too, yes of corse!” We snapped a quick picture then he left. The only problem was I left my camera on zoom so I didn’t get a pic with Alfredo after all. But it didn’t matter, I still felt so overwhelmed by happiness all I could do was cry (happy tears). Justin continued to perform a couple more songs, and ended his set with “Baby”. So that was my “My Bieber Experience” Although I didn’t meet Justin I still feel so blessed to have met most of the crew. December 17th, 2011 showed me the true meaning of Never Say Never. This is just the beginning. I won’t give up on meeting Justin someday, because I never gave up before and look at me now. With that being said, I’d like to thank Dan, Scrappy, Kenny, and Alfredo for making me believe in my dreams and showing me the true meaning of NEVER SAY NEVER. -@shelbaybayluvjb Video of us with Dan & Scrappy: Here Video of Justin & Dan performing: Here The rest is here: On December 17, 2011 one of best friends and I attended…
