OTRA Vancouver

I haven't actually written about this experience and that was only because I had other things in mind for the last couple of posts but since I didn't have anything in mind for today I was reminded of this recent event that happened and that is : The one fricken direction concert!!

Anyone who has spoken more than a sentence to me will know that I love One Direction. 

It’s not a secret

It’s obvious 

Even if you don’t talk to me and you ask me what time is it and I check my phone

BAM

There’s a picture of one or more of the boys as the background.

 About two years ago when One Direction first came to Vancouver I wanted to go so bad that I had even pretended I was going even though I had no tickets. However I didn’t get to go to the concert and ever since then I had been heart broken by the experience of them being in the same city as me and me not have attending the concert. However some of the boys did come out and wave

yup

Just waved

no photos

no signings

they waved

But I held on to that memory as the only memory of them I had until July 17th this year when they returned to Vancouver 

And this time

I HAD TICKETS

This being the first official concert I went to I had no idea what to expect and therefore I brought nothing with me aside from me and my ticket. However I was lucky enough to have my friend that was coming be more of an expert and bring us both posters, glow sticks etc. At around 5:30 they opened the doors for going in and by then I was so excited my legs felt completely numb. My friend and I went inside and I suggested we get a water bottle and the lady who sold us the water bottle started talking to us. So naturally we asked if she had seen any of the boys. And her answer went a little like this:

“One of these boys came out and he had blond hair and this girl got emotional and she said he was from one band, a band , one band? but she got very emotional. Are they famous? more famous than the backstreet boys?”

On the mention of Niall being spotted by this lad who though the band name was “one band” I almost passed out however we continue on into the arena and we had floor tickets and our seats WERE RIGHT BESIDE THE CAT WALK LIKE RIGHT BESIDE IT!!!

The morning of the concert I wasn't too excited over the fact that icona pop was going to open for them, because I only knew a few songs of them however they were so good I find myself adding there music to my spotify now…

So Icona pop starts at like 7:30 an ends around 8 and by that time the sleep I didn't get the night before starts to catch up to me and I was so nervous I would get tired during the actual concert and miss everything. However by nine when One Direction came on… I forgot what sleep even meant.

They start to play the intro of the concert and I’m already jumping up and down and screaming and then the boys just come on stage which, I’m trying to remember how that looked now but its so blurry because I jumped so much when they came and even though I said I wouldn't cry during the concert and would try my best not to the second they came on I started crying. But I had brought tissues with me and after that I didn't cry.  I could sit here and type away word for word what happened during those amazing thresh house however I’m going to tell you the highlight of it.

HARRY EDWARD STYLES BLEW ME AND MY FRIEND KISSES AND WAVED AT US TWICE! HE GAVE US A THUMBS UP ONCE! AND BEFORE ALL THIS HE LOOKED OUR WAY!

LIAM JAMES PAYNE ALSO BLEW US KISSES AND WAVED !!!!

Also there was this girl with this sign that said "Niall has more tattoos than Naughty Boy has fans" and everyone in the stadium laughed and Harry ran around with a rainbow Canadian flag and they were beautiful and 

I feel blessed…

But seriously yesterday was their five year anniversary and I’ve liked and been following them for four and a half years now and July 17th will be a day I will never forget.

I hope they come back soon
