A Night With the Jo Bros!!!

That's right ladies, you read correctly.....a night with the Jonas Brothers!!

Quick, go ahead and get your daughters, they are gonna want to see these pictures.  I'm not going anywhere, I'll be right here waiting for you to come back.

Okay, Are you ready???

As you can tell by our tickets, the concert was one week ago today.  I had planned to post about it the following morning but that was when I discovered I had no cable and no internet......for 5 days!!!

Then we got back and I had to post about our hot air balloon ride.

So, now I am going to show you the pictures from the concert.

First, let me introduce you to the ladies that went to the concert with me.

Here are the Future Mrs. Jonas, the Future Mrs. Jonas, and the Future Mrs. Jonas

Aren't they cute???  (That's My Girl in the yellow top.)

All right, they don't have to become The Future Mrs. Jonas's....I think they'd just settle for a date to Homecoming.

Here's the Jo Bros old bus.  

Everybody signs it.

Ready for the concert to start.

Keep in mind that our seats were pretty far away.  Thank goodness for my zoom lens!  Some of the pictures are a little blurry and some are clear.  (Weird!!??)

The Jo Bros as the show began.

Nick and Kevin jamming on their guitars.

All 3 boys!

Joe among a sea of fans.

The concert goers consisted of about 300,000 girls and Moms,  5 boys, and 2 Dads!

The girls ranged from age 19 down to 4....(although why anyone would want to take a 4 year old to a concert that was loud and started at 8:30PM is beyond me.)

Oh Yea!

Nick on the drums.

This picture reminds me a little of the Beatles or maybe the Bee Gees....do you agree??

Joe sings to this little girl who was picked out of the crowd.  The Future Mrs. Jonas's thought he should've chosen one of them instead.

Then Demi L. came out to sing a song from Camp Rock.  She was also the opening act.

Joe sings to the girls.

The boys were up on pedestals that rose up out of the stage.  This was a cool shot with the screen behind him.

Sitting and singing.

Nick sings and plays the guitar.  Are you catching on here that none of the girls really liked Kevin????  I guess he's just too old.  Sorry.

Okay, here's one Kevin picture.  (Look at that one Dad with his arm on the stage looking totally bored!  Ha!)

Joe smiles for the girls.

Jamming with Big during "Burnin' Up."

That's it!  Thank you and good night Baltimore!

(Not sure why this pix is a blur, but I love the arms reaching up to them!)

When we left the building I managed to turn the wrong way.  (Me and my good sense of direction.)  If we'd turned left, it would've been quicker to get to our parking garage.  Instead, we turned right.  This meant we had to go around two extra sides of the building.  In doing so, we ended up on the side where the busses were parked.

There were about 100,000 fans lined up and packed on the sidewalk about 8 feet deep.  They were all hoping to catch a glimpse of the Jo Bros as they left the building.  I told the girls to keep going.  There was no way they were going to see the Jonas Brothers.

After all, I'd been to 100's of concerts before (okay, probably not 100's) and have never seen anyone famous.

Well, as we were squeezing behind the crowd, one of the Future Mrs. Jonas's got lost!!!  In all truthfulness, it was actually pretty scary to think I'd lost someone else's daughter.  She did not have her cell phone with her.  She was lost for about 20 minutes that seemed like 2 hours!

Finally, she did a smart thing and asked a stranger to borrow their cell phone to call.  We met up with her around the corner which was now at the front of the busses.

We were getting ready to cross the street to go to our parking garage when a security officer told us we couldn't cross yet.  He said we had to get back to the curb because the busses were getting ready to leave.

I tried explaining that we weren't waiting for the busses.  We were just trying to cross the street.  He told us we'd have to wait.

So we backed up.  Because we were already in the process of crossing the street, we ended up being right in front of the crowd.

If you look at the pix below, the busses pulled out where the cross walk is.

A minute later we heard screams around the corner.  We couldn't see that side, but I assumed that meant the Jo Bros were exiting the building.

The busses started and the second bus to pull out had it's door open.  We could see all 3 Jo Bros in the bus, but leaning right in the open door was Nick Jonas.   Guess what???  He was about 15 to 20 feet away from us and he waved.  I am not kidding!!  It looked like he waved right at the girls.

Of course they all screamed.  The whole thing lasted about 10 seconds, but it played out in slow motion.  It was so neat!

I could not believe it.  I told the girls to remember that night because it would probably never happen again.

So, that was my night with the Jo Bros!

This is a picture of the side of the bus.  I wish I'd thought to turn my camera on video, but I honestly thought we'd be seeing the side of a bus and that would be it.

Here is just one last thing that I noticed as a Mom.  The boys were all 3 wearing the same exact clothes that they had just performed in.  They left the building about 30 min after the show ended.  There was no hanging around backstage with groupies for them.  

The show was awesome.  It was very wholesome and clean.  You can take your kids to see them and feel good about it.  And if you do, make sure you wait outside by the busses, because you just may get to see them!

PS.  If you go, bring ear plugs.....not because of the music, but because of the screaming girls!!!
