One of my many dreams was to meet the backstreet boys! My dream came true 12-10-2005 I met the backstreet boys! At jingle jam 05 in Houston TX… They are the nicest guys in the world! The story however is not that I met them that was just the best ending ever to this story! But how I got to meet them! What a day it was, we got to the arena at 3 pm and from the start the 104 krbe guys were giving us the run around all day… No matter what we did and how many times we did the security was one step behind us!
At one point we pissed them off so bad that our friend actually told us if we continue sneaking in the back area’s and what not we could very well be arrested! I mean we tried everything I even bought a cd “Frankie jay†because he was doing an autograph session, I was hoping he would help me out! He didn’t… At this point it started to get frustrating everything we tried was getting denied, The cops already had an Idea of who I was they were all looking out for me… All the Krbe guys knew me because we talked to just about every body from the Dj’s to the Gm’s they weren’t bugging.
In fact they made it pretty clear that there was know way I would meet the Backstreet boys...But G-d is awesome man he had other plans... At eight o’clock (the backstreet boys weren’t getting on till 10:30). We decided to hang out in the VIP parking lot hoping to see the boys, when a random vip guy came we talk to him told him our story and he gave us his "all access pass."
So we got back stage then we got word that the Backstreet boys were going upstairs for a “meet and greet†so we went upstairs to try meet the boys... Again even with the “all access pass†security told as to get out (one of the krbe guys saw us and told them even with the pass we could not be up there)... We go back down stairs and were thinking all was lost, when out of no where an angel comes to my rescue!
Gavin degraw comes in out of know where and see's us and we start talking, he is such an amazing guy I can’t even tell you he and his manager unbelievable! I tell him my story that I came to the concert for two reasons "The backstreet boys" and him. Gavin then talks too his people and Gavin and his manager escort me upstairs and I got me up to meet the boys!!! I was so excited I almost lost it! After all that trouble, so many people telling me know so many doors closing in my face, against all odds there I was…
Once I get up there to see the boys, they were the nicest people in the world I told them how much they meant to me and the rest of their fans. We talked for like 5 min I sang with them a clip from an un released song of theirs They took some pics and autographed my stuff (even though auto graphs were not allowed)…
I thought it was over that was the end of it Then I left to go get seated… However forgetting I had the “all access pass†instead of going to my seat I actually went back stage and up to the performers stage… They let me stand holding on to the stage and when the boys came out they were acknowledging me throughout the whole show telling me the loved me! Pointing at me during the show! Laughing when I was dancing, AJ called my name out on stage! When the show was over as I was leaving, Brian ran up to me and gave me some balloons and shook my hand!
One of the greatest nights of my life man I really love those guys! The only way I can explain what happened is that it was truly a gift from G-d. That meeting changed my life! It was incredible! Specail thanks to the boys for everything they did for me as well as Gavin Degraw from making my dream come trueThat’s all for now take care,!
G-d bless,

Here are a few thing that qualify a "hero" in my book:
1. Anyone who will risk their lives to save someone else’s...
2. Anyone who stands up for what’s right and for what he or she believes in...
3. Anyone who does something nice for someone not because he/she has to but because he/she wants too!!!
4. Anyone that takes care of someone else for no reason other then to do it...
5. Anyone who will be there for someone else at a beckon calling no matter where, when, or why...
