The "private/surprise" show today
Despite what everyone was saying about that "private" show in Hollywood today, it actually was legit. My friends and I went to it and it was really fun but really short; it couldn't have lasted longer than 15 minutes.

My friends and I arrived at City Walk around 10:40 and there were a couple of girls already there. Even when they started checking our names/waivers and giving out wristbands at 11 to have us board the buses, still not a lot of girls were there. 120 girls were supposedly supposed to be there, but I really have no idea if all of them showed up or not.

Since we were part of the first people there, we got to go on bus #1 (they had three buses). Once the bus was filled up, a Live Nation employee came to our bus and told us that the "real surprise" was that we're going to "surprise" the Jonas Brothers at the House of Blues in Hollywood, where they, their label, and Live Nation were having a meeting there. The JBs were set to perform a mini show and supposedly only thought that they were going to perfrom in front of those people. The employee said that the JBs had no idea that we were coming and that we were technically the "surprise," but that was a little hard to believe since they had posted that bulletin about it this morning.

When we got to the HOB, we waited on our buses for a couple of minutes and then got out and stood near an entrance in the front of the venue. After waiting another 10 minutes or so, they had us go inside the entrance, which led down a flight of stairs. We waited in that stairwell anxiously for five minutes before they had us go through another door and down another flight of stairs. We began to hear music being played so we all hurried down the stairs and into the main room, where the JBs were already on the stage and had begun to perform the first few lines of Hold On. I immediately ran to the stage and got a spot in the very front against the stage and in front of Kevin.

Like I said, their set wasn't that long, and they only played three songs: Hold On, Hello Beautiful, and S.O.S. And they definitely didn't seem surprised at all when we all rushed into the room and to the stage.

As soon as it was done, they had us all go back outside and back on to the buses, and they took us back to City Walk.

Pictures (sorry for the lack of Nick ones):



















Again, sorry for the tags, but I don't appreciate people stealing my photos. :P

A couple more pictures are here at my Flickr.

And here are videos of two of the three songs they played. Their mics weren't turned up that loudly so you can hear the crowd singing instead of them a lot of the time.


Hold On (the beginning part is us waiting in/going down the stairwell to go inside the main room)
