I had an All Access Backstage pass for last night's Z100 Jingle Ball. I went straight to their dressing room and Marcus and Drew were super nice to me and I told them I wouldn't bother the boys at all. KEVIN was SUPER NICE! Here's my story:

We got to the hotel and Nick was there and out taking pics so we go u/s and Nick is like, "I can only do 2 more and then I gotta go." These 2 girls get in and are like me, me... so I was like, "Nick one more please." He agreed and I got my pic. I let him walk away and no one bothered him. We're waiting and waiting and Brian was downstairs taking pics so we walk d/s and I知 like, "Can I get a pic." I do but my eyes are closed so he stops from taking a pic with another girl and he goes,"Hold on her eyes were closed I gotta do it with her first," so we did and I talked to him for a min about the radio station I work for interviewing him the day before and then I gave him the scrap book that I had made for the guys which he loved and he took it u/s with him. So we got back upstairs and literally waited probably like 30 mins and AJ walked by us and I was like "AJ can I get a pic" and he said "I知 about to have a cig, go to a meeting and then I値l be back I promise" so he did just that. but in the mean time I heard someone say they saw Kev go into the restaurant so I went into the restaurant to see if he was really there and I didn't bother him I just looked and then walked back upstairs. AJ was taking pics with fans so I asked for one and he was like "sure" and I got my pic with AJ. So then I知 like "ok I知 going d/s to wait for Kevin" so it wasn't like 15 mins later Kev comes outta the elevator. and Drew is like "we really don't have time to stop" so I was like "Kevin..." and Kev looked at me and he held out his hand and was like "I can't I知 sorry but it was nice to meet you" and he left.. I was the only one who got his hand. so I followed them out to their car trying to get a pic and brain liked taped on the window and waved at me and I waved back and walked away thinking like ok I値l get a pic later.

       

so we go to MSG and I got an All Access pass but they were only in their dressing rooms ... so I go there just before they're about to come on and Drew and Marcus are like "they won't have time for autographs before the show" and I was like "I won't ask I just wanna see them come out. I will do what you guys tell me to" so they were like "ok cool then watch them come out and after the set is done come back and you can get your autograph" so I did.. I watched AJ come out and he asked how many mins they had and I told him about 4 b/c I had the set list. Nick came out and just looked at me weird and then so I said "hi nick" and he held out his hand for a slap and said "hey wassup" and I said, "Are you ok today you seem kind of out of it," and he said "Yeah I知 ok but..." " and he pointed to his throat so I知 thinking he wasn't feeling good. Brian came out with this ball like playing around and just gave me a smile and Kevin came out after like 3 more mins went by making the boys late and just waved and I ran back to my seat. Kev came right up to where I was I pointed at my hat and got his attention and he looked and saw it was a KY hat and gave me a thumbs up. I left during the middle of Incomplete and ran back to their dressing room and Marcus was like, "Right there.. stand right there." So they come walking back and Kev was first and I was like "Kevin?" and he turned around with a smile like "hmm?" and I was like "will you sign my KY hat" and he beamed I think lol and he did. Then I was like "could I ask to get a pic with you?" and he was like "oh of course!" so we did and then I was like.. "ok I have to do this for a school thing. what is your opinion on groupies" and he moved closer so no one would hear us talking and he had a response that I won't disclose and he touched my elbow and gave me a wink before he headed back into the dressing room. So Nick was next and I was like "I won't ask for a pic b/c I got one at the hotel" and he was like "thanks!" and I was like "but what do you think of groupies?" and he just opened the door to the dressing room and said something too and we both laughed as he walked back in. Brian scooted by but I grabbed AJ next...So I was like "AJ what do you think of groupies" and he said something nice and then he went inside too.

       

I talked to some up and coming artist who was just signed to Atlantic and she just recorded a song with Nick but she doesn't know if it will be on their album and then Johnny came over and was like "hey how are you" and we talked about making the band and I wished him a happy holiday and he wished me one and I left. Kev was extremely tired after the show.. the boys wanted to leave b/c the back area smelled like Pot and AJ said something about not wanting to get a contact high. Kev may have been tired but he was not rude and he was extremely nice to me and I was the only fan standing back there when they came back except for a reporter.
