Holding Justin’s hand, being at the Today show, and an appearance on TMZ… No I’m not a celebrity, I’m just another Belieber with a dream. My Bieber Experience consisted of 42 whole hours of various amazing Bieber adventures. I wish I had more pictures but I was just living in the moment with Bieber, Bieber and more Bieber. I can’t believe I am sitting here writing my SECOND Bieber experience I truly believe in never say never after these to experiences! Here is the link to my first experience with Justin , it just goes to show if you are determined, it WILL happen, Never give up! This last experience all started when I found out that Justin was going to be on the Today show in NYC and I knew immediately I had to be there. The day finally came, I took the train from Jersey and I found myself in NYC and the waiting game began. I printed out my picture of Justin and I in LA because I wanted to see if he would sign it and maybe, just maybe he would remember me. I was about 15 th in line and was so excited. We set up camp and were ready to wait in the cold for the opportunity to meet Justin. The Mistletoe van arrived and we all knew it was getting close to show time. At around 6:00AM we started to get ready. We filled in the barricades outside the Today Show. I was across from the doors where Justin would come out! Finally I saw Scooter, Alfredo and Kenny inside and I knew this was it. Then I saw Justin , looking incredible as always. I was standing across from the doors but when we came out he went to the right, in the opposite direction of me! Little did I know that waiting for him to come to my side would all pay off in the end. He went back inside and the anticipation just kept growing. My hands were numb from the cold but once I saw him coming back out I grabbed my picture and phone and I was ready. I held my picture out, said hi to Kenny and Alfredo and then there was Justin. Pretty much the whole time, he was walking with his head down going fast signing things. When he came to my picture, I asked, “Justin! Do you remember me from Compton!?” As he was signing, I saw him pause then look close at my picture, then looked he looked up, his eyes met mine and he gave me a smile like he was so proud he had remembered. Then he said “HEYYYY nice to see you again”. I about died!!! Just the way he looked at me, like hey I know you! I knew then he remembered me!!! His smile was so precious. I still can’t get it out of my mind. I was so excited and wanted to give him a HUGE hug, it was freezing and I would have no problem with Justin warming me up. Here is a video I found of some clips from the Today Show. After Justin’s interview we waited for him to leave. When his car pulled out, my adrenaline kicked in! I just started booking it ha-ha. His car stopped, he rolled down his window, and there I was again for the second time that day inches from Justin’s face. He was smiling and talking to the group of us until a paparazzi guy, later I found out he was a TMZ guy. ( You can see me on the video here ). He brought up the baby mama drama. The look on Justin’s face just went from total happiness because he was with his fans to disappointment. We all started yelling at him and I screamed, “Are you Kidding Me???” Justin said, “Sorry guys”, rolled up the window and drove away. A couple hours later it was time to go to the Michael Buble’s Christmas Special where Justin was going to perform. My friend had won tickets through BieberFever.com!! At this point I had not slept or left the city for over 20hrs. I found a bathroom and tried to make myself look half way decent (hence why my picture with Alfredo I look half asleep). We had to get to Brooklyn by 1:15PM so we decided to take the subways. This turned out to be a disaster. Some of the trains weren’t running! We thought we weren’t going to make it, the panic set in. We made the last minute decision to get a taxi. When we got in the driver explained he had no idea where he was going and had no GPS. Well, just our luck we thought. So I start to look up directions on my phone… IT DIES!! How wonderful. We got out of the taxi and looked like 2 little lost children on the side of the road. We had about given up all hope at this point and figured that we would be late and they wouldn’t let us in. Then out of nowhere I spot a Starbucks!! What a lifesaver! We ran in, plugged in my phone and to our amazement we found out we were only about 8 minutes away. So with the little battery I had, we found another taxi cab driver who was AMAZING! We told him our whole ordeal and he said he “Would get us to Justin no matter what”. Just in time, we found the studio where they were taping. It was such a relief to see everyone still standing outside. We got our wristbands and then found our seats. Our seats were on the side were the performers entered and exited. Micheal Buble came out joked around and sang some songs with various artists. Then there was a little intermission for Justin to set up. As we were leaving to go outside during the intermission, I saw Dan Kanter and said “Hey Dan”, he turned back and looked surprised that someone said Hi, but how could you not say Hi to Dan? We stood out in the FREEZING cold again for like 45mins which sucked but again the waiting was worth it. We came back in, went to our seats and it wasn’t long until Kenny and Alfredo came walking up right next to us. We were the only Bieber fans in our section of 30 people and the guy next to me was like “How do you know his whole team?” He was so shocked how loyal Justin’s fans are. As we were yelling I had a lot of awkward eye contact with Kenny and Alfredo, they kept looking back at us laughing because we were having such a good time. When Justin came out he it was just another surreal moment. He was so close! Justin and Michael did little monologue with each other. We caught Alfredo tweeting and yelled at him saying, “Hey we see you tweeting over there Fredo!” Then Kenny looked back up to us again, and I said “Hey Kenny where’s our Pizza?? Do you remember us??” (long story short, Kenny bought us pizza one night when we were waiting for Justin) He points, smiles and goes “YEAH!! HEY!” I freaked, not only did Justin remember me but Kenny too. Is this real life?? There was this lady there that was sort of running the show, telling jokes in between performers and she goes, “Who is excited Justin touched their hand??” Well without even thinking I yell, “I wanna be touched by Justin”… Alfredo sure found that amusing. So then after Justin did a little dialogue with Michael, he sang Mistletoe. If I thought it sounded phenomenal before, it sounds even better live. I am so proud to be a fan of an artist that is so talented and caring towards his fans. The first time he sang, only the Bieber fans stood up and were dancing and singing. When the song ended Justin goes, “Ok guys it’s the Christmas season you are supposed to be excited. I want to see everyone standing and dancing enjoying themselves this time. Let’s do it again.” Kenny came over to our sections and was yeah listen to him. I said “Yeah get up!! Have fun!! It’s Justin Bieber” , Kenny and Alfredo both looked at me like Good Job!! We got everyone in our sections to stand and dance along with Justin. Alfredo and Kenny were getting down too and kept turning around. I love them! After the second performance it was time for Justin to go because he was catching a flight to the EMA’s. I knew he was going to walk right by me to exit the building! As he walked past, I held my hand out and said “Justin!!” He walked past my hand and I thought to myself oh well I tried. To my amazement I saw he turned around, he reached up looked at me, held my hand tight and said “HEY” like he remembered me again!! Are you kidding me?? Is this really happening again?? I smiled and he walked off. We thought we could catch him as he was leaving in his car so we rushed outside and luckily saw that all the cars were still there. Then we spotted Alfredo! I had always wanted a picture with him and he was talking to fans, taking pictures so I knew I had a chance, but then security started yelling at us saying we had to leave and go across the street. Alfredo goes, “Okay guys lets go over there and make these pictures happen!!” He is so sweet. He is so down to earth and just seems like such a fun person to hang out with. I got my picture and thanked him. He walked to the cars and we waited for Justin. They started pulling out and we spotted Justin in the car, again I ran for the car looking like a nut. He stopped, rolled down the window and took some pictures with fans. Since I had seen him so many times that day, I stood towards the back to let others have a chance but I was still very close to him. He seemed in a rush so it was short but he was all smiles, laughing and then he said he had to go and they drove off. Overall I couldn’t be more thankful for everything that happened. With all the rumors and crap going around it’s nice to see Justin and his team in person and it puts it in perspective of why I love them so much. He didn’t have to stop so many times but he did. I am so grateful for both my Bieber experiences and believe that everyone deserves and WILL have a shot at meeting him. Never give up and hard work will pay off!
