Ok So I promised a recap. It’s very long, and there might be many misspelling and grammar mistakes.

First off, again, I have to give a HUGE thanks to Kathy for taking me and really making my night enjoyable and showing me how the Kris shows work. And for all of you twitter people who are reading this, for being so excited for me and flailing right along with me throughout the night. <3333 Really, you guys are the best. :’)

So to start off I was nervous (like really nervous) before meet and greet. I don’t know why. I was literally hiding behind @kt_cle in the line. Then when it was our turn, Kathy, Thank God, introduced me to Kris and she asked if he remembered Hershey (The video and all) and he said yes and asked if I felt better. We talked some and I think my heart was about to beat out of my chest! Then he signed the poster and I got my picture with him. :D <3

Concert Best Night Ever Phase 1: Complete.

So then we kind of hung out and had weird tasting soda and looked over signed things and picture. A little after 6 we noticed people started to get near the stage so we wandered up there ourselves (I got to choose Cale or Torres side and I picked Cale side…a wise choice if I might add) :D I knew with KA concerts they were close to the stage, but I didn’t realize I guess that we’d be so close we could put our jackets ON the stage. Lol

So not gonna talk a lot about the openers, but I have to say, both Nick Barilla and Caroline Graser (sp) were great performers and awesome additions to the night. Then it was time for Kris.
Cale was the first to come out and set things up. Kathy said hi to him and I realized he is the hottest person ALIVE (excuse my flailyness here but my lordy that man!)

Then they all came out. They started Paul Simon, and I was gone. I was so into the music and so were they, and that made it so much more fun! There was a dude yelling stuff out to Kris and that was fun and entertaining as well! I was afraid of making a fool out of myself, but the actual moment of the songs, I belted out lyrics and yelled and flailed and really just had a great time!!!!!!! Just the sheer emotion those guys have on the stage, they get so into it! Tons of admiration for those dudes. <33

As a side note: the new songs? Let’s just say I am SO glad I waited to hear these songs.
Live experience + new songs + hearing songs for first time = :DDDD <33333
My favorites so far are Dance, Beautiful and Wild, and Don’t Set Me Free.

Concert Best Night Ever Phase 2: Complete.

Right after the regular show was over (after Shut That Door) Cale handed me his guitar pick and I said thank you (And that was surprise #1) :DD
Then was The End of The Show (hilarious! And really good way to end!!) Kathy said I did good (I was one of the only ones yelling out Encore!!!) which I can honestly say is one of the boldest things I’ve ever done lol

So Kathy told me they usually come back out to take down the stage and Kris comes out to talk after.
This part gets fuzzy for me since all the best things ever happened at this time lol.

We first went to talk to Cale and he signed the setlist I got! (Thanks @BigDaddySays) :D
And then he said “Nice seeing you again” and you know I was beside myself with that one ;D
(That was Surprise #2!)

And the last surprise was me being able to meet and talk to Torres and Andrew! Torres is SO nice and I was surprised at how easy they all are to talk to. I didn’t feel like they were famous, or better than me, they made me feel like…well…normal. So that made any nervousness I had go away. :)
Then we talked to Andrew for a bit (they both signed my setlist too!!) Andrew had my favorite answer when I asked if he could sign my setlist he was like “Absolutely!” so enthusiastic! :D

So then Kathy went to find the weirdly placed restroom (that had no light whatsoever when she went in). And I went up (BY MYSELF, mind you ;) to talk to Caroline and I think I made an oopsie and made myself sound super bad. I said “Well, Obviously I was here for Kris” (Like doesn’t that sound like screw you Kris all the way?) So yeahhh my only really awkward moment of the night. But she was a doll and signed my setlist for me too.

So then we got to talk to Kris again!! Didn’t have a lot of time because of security but I said something like “Great show!” and he said, and I quote: “Aww thank you!”  YOU GUYS. Genuine thanks right there :D <3 And he signed the setlist for me too!!!!

Concert Best Night Ever Phase 3: COMPLETE.

First Kris Allen Concert: COMPLETE.

I can agree when Kathy told me I got the all around concert experience last night (pics, signed setlist, chatting, guitar pick). This post, although long and filled with my fan girly-ness..do not do my excitement justice.

So, my ending thoughts for this: WHEN IS THE NEXT SHOW?? :D <3 :D <3

Thanks for reading if you made it all the way through! ;)
