It was free to see the concert, you just had to go pick up seating tickets. Welp, I'm an idiot. I didn't realize that people had waited in line for 2 hours in the morning to get their tickets at 10am. When we rolled into the fair in the afternoon, I was DEVASTED when I saw the "Boyz II Men Sold Out" sign. Not gonna lie, I teared up, got mad, and was ready to leave the fair. Josh knew how important this was to me, so he said that we could try and find some on KSL and see if people were selling them.
We were looking and looking, and then we saw Spencer King- Comedian Extraordinaire! And he said, "Oh, didn't your dad have some at his 101.5 The Eagle booth the other day?" DUH! I forget that I have major connections when it comes to the concert world.
To top it off, my phone spontaneously died, and would not wake up. I couldn't get the battery out to restart it. I can see why T-Mobile no longer carries the Motorola Rokr. =) I had to rely on Josh's phone to get in touch with my friend Hollz to break the HORRIBLE news and get a hold of my dad.
Well, my dad is my hero! Especially when it comes to Boyz II Men... =) He hooked us up with his radio peeps, and I was so happy/relieved/ecstatic.
While waiting for the big event, we enjoyed fried zucchini, the swirly ice cream, and my fave hawaiian food. We also saw this hilarious hypnotist, and now I get why people love that stuff. He was great... but probably too expensive for my Davis County Fair. =)
And then, it came... 14th row... dreams coming true... jams... magic.
I have to say, I was super sad that Hollz was not there, Boyz II Men is something that we really shared and loved together. I ALWAYS think of her whenever I hear one of their songs, and especially when I hear "Water Runs Dry." We totally sang it at an assembly in elementary school! And so I vow that before we die we will go to a Boyz II Men concert together, as god is my witness! And a Britney concert... and a Prince concert. =D
Well, my Boyz came out in true form. They hit it up with "MotownPhilly," they sang some slow jams, and then they suprised me with some MOTOWN HITS! I guess they have a Motown-Hitsville album. Well it was awesome, and it really kept the party going. They even did those slick dance moves like the Temptations. It was FABULOUS!
During "I'll Make Love To You" they threw red roses to the audience, and yes I ran up to the front for my chance. But let's be honest, I'm too short for that stuff, and they don't throw very far. Haha!
They even sang one of my fave songs (which I didn't think they would) "Doin Just Fine." Oh it was soooooooo good. After a few more, they left. But we didn't! We kept clapping and screaming, and then Wanya came back on and gave us some love and a little acapella "Yesterday" and then they all came back on and did the FULL song of "MotownPhilly." It was AMAZING! I loved every minute of it! I've never clapped so much at a concert in my life. I had a HUGE smile on my face as we left the grandstands.
They were so grateful and kind and fun and they still sound awesome together. Next year is their 20th anniversary, and they are going to try and get Michael back with them to do another album. HOLLA! I'm all for it!
What a fun day at the fair with Josh. We even had a fried snickers. Dreams reall do come true... ;)
