I'll try to sum up my encounter as best as I can!! It was literally the best night ever!!!!!!! Ok, my mom, dad, and I got there at a little before 7 and waited outside for them to let us in. When we got inside, we went directly to the merchandise table. The new stuff is soooo awesome!! I got the raglan half seeleved shirt that says "Beautiful Soul" on it and the sweat pants that say "Jesse McCartney" on them. Then I sat back down in my seats. We were sooo close...I forgot how small that theatre really is!! hehe!! I met up with Holly and she gave me this Stevie Brock flyer cuz she's a publicity volenteer. She was really nice!! Then pretty soon the concert started! Pip came out first and they were awesome!!! I think the order of the songs were "Matters to Me", "Out of Luck", "Circles" and then Katie joined them in "Leave me As I was". Then after them, this dance team called the All Stars came on. They performed 2 dances and were really good!!! Then finally Jesse came on!! He sang 12 songs all together but he only sang 6 before intermission. Those were "Don't You", "You Make Me Feel", "Beautiful Soul", "Would I Lie To You" ( a neat 70/80's song), "Sweet Time", and "Crush'N". (I know the names of all these songs cuz I purposly wrote them down so I could remember) He even had choreography to "Don't You" and "Crush'N" which were AWESOME!! He dances so well! Then it was intermission which lasted 15 minutes. During that time I got some snacks and as I was over there I met up with Jenny from this message board! She's really nice and we talked for a while! Then I sat back down in my seat and looked to where Alyssa from this message board was sitting and we waved at each other. I went to where she was sitting and we talked for a while! She's soooooo nice and it was really nice meeting her (finally, right Alyssa?! haha). My mom took a pic of me and her and after a while of talking, I sat back donw in my seat cuz I wasn't sure when the intermission was gonna be over. As I was sitting Holly, came back over to me and we chatted for a min. and my mom took a pic of me and her. I couldn't find Jenny to take a pic with her though! But anywayz, then the show started back on. Jesse came out in a different outfit and sang "Gotta Get the Girl", "Yellow", "Feet First" (a song him and other people wrote in Florida), "Good Life", "Why Don't You Kiss Her" and "Ready for you". Overall he put on a phemonenal show and I loved every second of it. Then they announced where the singing was gonna be...ont he left side of the stage. I was practically right there so, I darted over to it. I was about the 5th or 6th person in line out of about 100 people there! My mom finally met up with me and I dunno where my dad went during that time. They set up tables on the stage and pretty soon Jesse came out with Katie, Dillon, Pete, and Dylan (from Pip) so that was really cool. I was soo nervous...lolz!! They let you up one at a time to get it flowing. It was no sooner my turn so as I went up the stairs to him Jesse put a smile on his face and was like "Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeyyy!!!" hehe!! It was awesome cuz it was so big and recognizing!! So I was like "Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeyyy!!" back!! haha! At the same time Katie said "Leslie!!!!!!!!" Ahh, I almost died!! I was like "Hiiii!! back to her!! Jesse's then like "Did you like the show?" and I was like "Yup!! You did awesome!!". I then gave Jesse two pics for him to sign. So I said "Can you sign these two for me?" He's like "Yea!". He looked at one of them and said "This is a good shot" and Katie agreed as well. He then signed his name first and then at the top wrote "To Leslie" on it. I almost died cuz I didn't have to tell him my name or anything cuz obviously he knows and all!! hehehe! Then he signed the other one "To Leslie, Love Jesse McCartney", After that he gave them back and said "You want a picture, right?" I said yeah and he got up and leaned over to me (over the tabe) and we took a pic together from just my mom's camera. He was just about to sit back down and I was like "Can I have a hug?" And he smiled and gave me a nice hug! After that, I went to Katie next to him. She's like "How are you?" and I said "Good" and then was like "Can you siign this for me?" and she's like "Sure!" I had her sign one with me and Jesse, as did the rest of them. After she signed it, I was like "Can I have a picture with you?" She's like "Of course!" So she got up from her seat and leaned over with me for a pic! I then said "Thank you!" and she said "No problem, it was my pleasure!" She was sooo nice! Then it was Pete. He asked me how I was and signed the pic for me. I kept asking him for a pic with him but he didn't hear me any of the times so I just gave up! haha! I went to Dillon and the first thing he said was "I've seen you before!" lolz! I laughed and was like "Yea!" I gave him the pic to sign and after he did he's like "Did you put in something for that fan book?" (Sara-- obviously) and I'm like "Yeah!" and he said "Thanks!" It was weird that he said something about it cuz all I did was write something for it unless Sara put a pic of me and him in it! But that was soo cool! Then I asked him for a pic with me and him. It took a while for him to hear (like Pete) but he finally was like "Yeah, sure!" So we took a pic together and he was really nice! Then last was Dylan from Pip and I just had him sign the pic for me. After that I went off the stage and just took my last looks for a while. I noticed that no one else could take pics with them, so I really lucked out. I said bye to Alyssa and then we left. I got home at close to midnight.
