Thread: Lauren's Atlanta Review <3

Meet & Greet:

I got to the arena waaaay early, about 1:00. Haha. So I went and bought Carrie flowers and got something to eat, then went to the arena and waited. I met these two other fanclub members, so we waited for the meet & greet passes to arrive together. At first they couldn't find my pass, and I was about to cry, ha. But they finally found it and it took me about 30 minutes to fix the sticker and put it on haha. Then we all waited, and I saw Matt come and I started shaking. He stood right beside us talking to some more people for about 20 minutes, then comes and gets us. We walk down about 4 flights of stairs, then down a long hall way, then into the meet & greet room. I was second in line, but then the line moved around a bit and I was about 3rd to last. Which I was happy about, because I wanted to be last! When Carrie walked in I didn't even know, until I turned around and saw her. I started crying right then and there haa. Nooow here is my conversation with Carrie:

Me: I got these for you, *hands Carrie flowers*
Carrie: Aww, thank you!
Me: *crying, a lot*
Carrie: Aww, it's okay! *hugs me* (AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!! I'm surprised I didn't pass out when she hugged me haha)
Me: This is for youu. *starts crying even more*
Carrie: *starts to sign it*
Me: Ooh no, I made it for you.
Carrie: Oh! It's so colorful, like spring.
Me: *laughs, pulls out two pictures*
Carrie: Do you want me to sign those?
Me: Oooh well I couldn't decide which one ...
Carrie: I'll sign both! *looks at me wondering my name*
Me: Lauren!
Carrie: L-A-U-R-E-N?
Me: Yah!
Me: When does the "Last Name" video come out?
Now I don't exactly remember what Carrie said, she just said something about them watching it today and then something else hahaa.
Me: Can we get a hugging picture?
Carrie: Aww sure! *starts to hug me and we pose for the picture*
Me: *I walk away*
Carrie: Your pictures!
Me: Ooh!
Carrie: *hands pictures to me*
Me: Thank you so much, I love you!
Carrie: Aww thanks!

I got A LOT of time with her, and I'm so thankful.

Concert:

Best concert yet. By far. A lot of things Carrie will remember. I'm still trying to remember everything from Thursday, I'm still in shock! I did give Carrie flowers during one song (I don't remember what song .. eh) and she carried them for a little while, so if anybody has a video or pictures I'd appreciate it! I caught one of Carrie's guitar picks, then some random security guy comes over to me and gives me the other one Carrie threw. I was going crazy! When I was taking one picture of Carrie, I saw through the linz thing Carrie was looking at me, so I lifted the camera up to look at her and she smiled at me and looked me right in the eyes. That actually happened more than once that night, she looked me in the eyes quite a lot. I CAN'T BELIEVE IT. And during one song, Carrie saw me jumping up and down singing along and she smiled real big and waved to me. I also got 3 hand shakes from Carrie, and she said something when I gave her the flowers but I'm not sure what ... haha. Then during "So Small" when Carrie was singing right in front of me, I just broke down crying (hopefully they didn't get that on the DVD, ha). I just could not believe how many good things were happening to me that night. The crowd wasn't the best, when Carrie told the audience to sing along with "Jesus Take The Wheel", they didn't. So I sang as loud as I could! And I'm sure everyone knows about Carrie breaking down crying during "Don't Forget To Remember Me" that was so sad, and she must have said sorry 100 times. She also almost tripped on her heels, which was adorable! And she was pretty talkative! Now when I left after Carrie and Keith's duet, all these people were stopping me asking if I was the girl with the flowers and the girl Carrie was interactive with, I'm not really sure how they could see what was going on in the front, so I'm guessing I was on the screen? I dunno, haha.

I had second row seats, but I was standing right by the catwalk in the first row the whole time. It was the best concert I've ever been to!
