Nelly!!

Hey there family! So...I had an interesting Saturday night. For those of you who didn't hear, I went to see my long-time favorite rapper, Nelly, in concert! I convinced five of my friends to tag along and head out on a quick road trip to Lincoln!

Our first stop was to our hotel, at the Cornhusker. While we were waiting for our rooms to be cleaned, we, of course, hung out in the bar, where the waitress informed us that Nelly was "in house." I, of course, immediately began to form my stalking plan. What floor should I hang out on? Should I just sit in the lobby and wait for him after the concert? Etc.

Second stop, after much primping and back combing in our room, was Pershing Auditorium. When we first got there, the gigantic line was wrapped around the backside of the building. Thankfully, it moved pretty quickly and we found seats, all together, easily. The bathroom lines; however, were not so easy to navigate. I believe that I stood in line for almost half an hour one time. Ridiculous! 

After three hours of opening acts, it was finally time for NELLY! I swear to you all that I almost started crying when he came out. It was the most fun that I've had in as long as I can remember. I danced my heart out for three hours straight; my feet still ache to prove it. Nelly was just as amazing, if not better, then when I was sixteen. And having my best friend, Andrea, dancing beside me the entire time, made it even better.

After the concert, we walked back to the hotel. I was so tired, that I completely forgot about my stalking plan. Mistake number one. About an hour or so after the concert, Riley, who also went, called and wanted to come hang out at the hotel with us. When he got there, he called me and said, "Will you come down and get me so I can find your room ok?" I said, "Oh my goodness. You are twenty years old. I think you can find room 413 on your own." Mistake number two. About ten minutes later, Riley shows up in my room with a picture of him and Nelly. Nelly, of course, happened to be hanging out in the lobby at the exact time that Riley came in. The exact time that I refused to come down and get him. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh!!!!!!! I almost cried I was so sad with myself.
Later on, I did meet Nelly's brother, Free City, but it just wasn't the same. I will never again tell someone to find a hotel room on their own. Especially when Nelly is in the building :)
Sorry that this story was so long. I just thought that you would all appreciate it! I hope that everyone has a good week. Mine will be long. Parent teacher conferences Tuesday and Thursday. Wish me Luck! xoxo
