I'm always looking out for my adoring fans, so I decided to give you the 411 on concerts.
N'sync (29 june 2001, comerica park, detroit)
N'sync (better known as N'duce vomiting) put on a rather decent show recently. Although 2 of the 3 opening bands just plain sucked, the third "Eden's crush" was astounding. The show wasn't based on the music, rather it was based on pyrotechnics. Always advertising themselves and Britney Spears the "movies" they played brought the words "soft core porn" to mind.
Crowd: Everyone of all ages but mostly screaming pre-adolescent girls and 40-year-old women going through mid-life crises.
Must have: Anything that says N'sync
What to bring: Ear plugs
What to wear: Blue Jeans, Adidas, belly shirt no matter what your size and pigtails.
Fun: Pretending to be in love with Joey and getting into a fight with a 12-year-old about who would marry him first.
Dumb: They tried to confiscate our metro times.
Blink 182 (18 july 2001, dte energy music theatre, clarkston)
The Blink 182 show was incredible. Unlike N'suck, the people were nicer (maybe due to P.L.U.R.) and kind...especially the drunker they got. While standing in line for the bathroom, Two girls befriended me and decided that I probably wanted to know that one of them dropped their license in the toilet after she peed. Hmmm. Mysterious smells of marijuana filled the air but I decided that it was probably just patchouli gone bad. (Yeah, right). A couple of mosh pits got going, as BodyJar and New Found Glory opened up for Blink. The farther into the show it got, the wilder it got. Girls feeling up on girls (it wasn't me, I swear) and on guys (I'm innocent) suggested that the "Girls just want to have fun" theory is correct. Although it was at DTE and I had lawn tickets, I met my friend and managed to get pretty close to the front by scamming it in.
Crowd: Everyone and anyone
Must have: Official Blink 182 thong
What to bring: a deck of cards and a blanket to sit on.
What to wear: Anything you want! Hell! Nothing!
Fun: Flashing, running into the mosh pit and feeling guys up.
Dumb: The no camera allowed rule.

At six-thirty they started calling us to get up. Our room has to get up pretty quick due to the fact of having seven girls share a single bathroom. Our clothes are already ironed so we wash up and change. 4-6 people per bathroom. Two or three girls per room.
6:30-8:00: At six-thirty, we wake up. Make beds military style, if not they'll be stripped. "wash up" or take a shower. In a bathroom charged by 7 girls, we have less than ten minutes each to wash up and get dressed. Our beds must be made perfectly, and our rooms tidy.
8:00-8:30: Walk down 2 flights of stairs and two up to the cafetaria for breakfast. Our everyday meal consists of 1 sugar cereal 1 unsugared, two pieces of toast and orange juice. Many days the orange juice or milk is sour and we have to get new cartons. After breakfast we go to med room for meds.
8:30-9:30: Clean up room (sweep etc), have rooms checked, and go to dayroom.
9:30-12:00: Watch tv, write, play games etc. Or go to special "clubs". Sometimes we get to go on a field trip.
12:00: Lunch. Meds.
1:00-3:00: Do same thing as before lunch. Exercise.
3:00-4:00: Personal time in room. Shift change.
4:00: 4'o clock activity sometimes. Meds.
5:00-6:00: Dinner. Meds.
6:00-7:00: Showers, chores and ironing.
7:00-9:00: Visits on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Possible movie, writing etc.
9:00: Bedtime.
