i got to work stadium of fire on the 4th of july. specifically, i worked backstage dignitary protection. i was assigned to sit outside of the jonas brothers' trailer and make sure that nobody tried to get in. i had to work from 6am to midnight that day, and we were not allowed to sit down at all. that makes your legs crazy tired. i was fully decked out in my police gear. i had to wear an ear piece, and a hidden knife around my neck (in case of an emergency).
i did get to see a lot of the brothers, and two of them spoke to me as they walked past. i am not very familiar with their music, but i do have to admit that they are beautiful boys. (note: boys, not men). I was so surprised at how little they are though. they are so short and skinny. all three of them. but they were very nice and very willing to interact with their fans, which i think is cool.
the swarms of screaming, teenage girls that they attracted was unreal. i have never seen anything like it before. a group of hundreds of girls started to gather at my gate, and i had to keep making sure they didn't push over the barricade and answer question after question as to whether i could "just let me talk to them for 5 minutes to tell them i am their biggest fan". I met so many of the jo bro's "biggest fans". girls were bursting into tears right in front of me when they *thought* they saw a brother entering or exiting the trailer.
this picture doesn't even do it justice. the crowd got SO much bigger.
one girl very seriously tried to convince me that she was selena gomez (another huge disney star). she said to not freak out when she told me who she was and didn't want to ruin the concert by letting people know she was there. she just had to talk to nick jonas for 5 minutes.
i told her no.
(the fact that she was wearing an "i love the jonas brothers" t-shirt gave her disguise away...)
it was such a fun experience though. and the fireworks show was out of this world. if anyone is in provo next year, you have to watch the fireworks from stadium of fire. words wouldn't do them justice, so i will just leave it at that.
i'm grateful that i was able to celebrate our independence. i love America.
