Personal Experiences Personal Experience with 'N Sync
We also went to Electric Circus at Much to see them, because we really wanted their autograph but unfortunately were not successful. There's really not much to tell cuz both events were filmed and later shown on Much and City, so any time in T.O., should stay tuned to these stations to see when they air again. Some of the highlights you get to see : some of Justin's smooth basketball moves in the Much interview where backstreet were mentioned more then once by their good friend rick, yet sadly no songs. And a much hyped 'N Sync hanging out at E.C. with a estatic Juliette Powell is fun to watch, especially Justin's face when Backstreet are mentioned yet again. Personal Experience with 'N Sync In April me and Gina skipped school to see one of our new favourite groups " 'NSync" at the Pickering Town Centre. We arrived to see everyone pretty much had the same idea and we joined close to 800 others girls waiting. We waited for close to seven hours, and more and more girls kept coming. We realized we were too late to get a crappy piece of paper with a number written on it which would allow us to get their autographs, so we decided just to find a good spot and at least get some good pictures to paste on our site. Well, after waiting, and waiting they finally ran out on stage and broke into "I want you back", then "Tearing up my heart". They sounded pretty good until they started singing such songs by Usher, and "Get Jiggy with it" by Will Smith. The performance lasted roughly an hour and then the autograph session started which lasted for another 45 minutes. Lots of the people who weren't getting autographs lined up outside by their limo and eventually started carrying on a conversation with the loser limo driver, who of course, was very flattered. After they had signed 200 autographs they left through a blocked exit into their limo. All in all, the experience was mediocre, but they sounded pretty bad when they were singing songs from other bands. And everywhere you turned, you would see someone flashing a pack of backstreet stickers or a spice girls postcard book. I guess Toronto fans are still totally devoted to the groups who weren't "an overnight success". P.S. We are going to the 'N sync concert in Toronto!!! Since we were unable to get tickets to Backstreet......=( The Intimate and Interactive Experience As all of you bsb fans in Toronto know, the Backstreet Boys were here recently at Much for an I&I following their concert. Me (mirella), Gina and our two friends Heidi and Julie went along with 2000 other die-hard bsb fans downtown to see our fave band. We stood outside waiting for eight hours (hence we didn't have tickets to go inside) and finally after all the pushing and shoving, swaying, swearing, watching that retarded AJ wannabe in the window above (I hear he's an EC dancer) and listening to Master T count the minutes, each longer then the last the show finally started - and if you stood up as tall as you could, you may have been able to see a glimpse to nick's hair through the glass and crowd. Well, we stood outside screaming until they came outside, then screamed more. We threw Jolly ranchers at Kevin, but I guess he didn't notice. Then the show was over and we rushed to the back of the city parking lot while everyone else was listening to "All I have ti give" and when the song ended they rushed into their vans, but not before Aj flashed a peace sign, Howie gave a little wave and Nick jumped up for some unknown reason and Brian smiled. At us!!!! We were the only ones there so it must have been at us! Then the police officers started to say go home and whatever crap but our bsb experience was complete. A little wave can go a long way. Our Olympic Experience On Wednesday March 18th 1998, Gina, me (Mirella) and our friend Heidi went down to the City of Toronto's ' Salute Our 1998 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Athletes ' at Nathan Phillips Square, Toronto City Hall. It was the official Winter Games Rally, and we went with the intention of seeking a glimpse of Ross Rebagliati, in our opinion the coolest and cutest Canadian athlete ever. So we arrived there and the ceremony began with the athletes carrying Canadian flags into the Hall. A few of the athletes which attended were: the men's curling team (lead by Mike Harris), a member of the women's silver medal hockey team, and a few men speed skaters and of course, Ross. Medals were presented to each of the athletes, and a special medal for the head of Roots who received a medal for "making our athletes look good". We got great pics with Gina's camera, (most of Ross) which we will show on this page as soon as we get them developed. As soon as it started, it was over, and we still hadn't gotten Ross's signature, our main goal. The athletes started to leave to go upstairs to a luncheon and in a last desperate attempt ran up to the guy who's head of roots and asked for a signature. This guy was totally nice, and looked at us kind of weird and then said: "uhh, I'm not Ross, you know...". We told him we loved his clothing and we kind of got into a conversation about school, Roots models etc. Then, he was soooo nice that he wiped out his cell phone and asked us if we knew where the Eaton Centre was and to go over there and tell the clerk to give us three official Olympic Roots hats compliments of him. We hadn't bought hats yet, and were totally ecstatic that after thanking him like, twelve times, we ran over to the Eaton Centre and received our free Olympic hats! So the day was soooo great, and we felt like the most cool people in the whole damn Eaton Centre, walking around with our Olympic hats, personally given to us by the Prez of Roots! So it goes to show that if people started to take more interest in our Olympic athletes and Olympic rally's, you can be rewarded because no matter if they have a gold medal or a 16th place finish, just to see the support of fans can make any athlete feel like a champion.
