so when i told my friends that i was going to Nashville, TN they were like WTH?!?!?! why are you going to nashville..and my answer was..TO PARTAY!! hahaa it was true..but not that kind of party exactly..haha
so i got invited to Carrie Underwood's annual Fanclub Party. this is what i've always been waiting for..to party with Carrie Underwood..haha..so i get all my flight stuff situated..and as the day gets closer..i get excited and nervous at the same time because i'm traveling alone. my trip was from June 8th-11th. i landed in Nashville and was amazed at how green it was..it was pretty.
i get to my hotel..drop off my stuff and then camp out in front of the place the party is held at..its cool because like its a private party and only a certain amount of people get picked..and i was happy to be one of them :)
so as i am waiting outside..it wasnt cold at all...more like warm and humid..i remember walking out of my hotel with a jacket on and as i stepped out..i went back in because it was wayy to hot at like 2am in the morning..haha
camping out was fun. met some new people..got to chit chat with them..the party didnt start until like 11am..waiting for like 9hrs was totally worth it..once we got into the place..i was second row from the stage..AWESOME
never been so close to carrie..EVER!haha it was awesome. at the party she sang a number of songs..all the songs we voted on were like big songs..like big range songs..and so she brought out the lyrics cuz some songs were according to Carrie "Blast from the Past" songs. it was awesome. her voice is amazing. what an inspiration she is :)
after the small "concert" she gave to us..she answered some questions..and then we played a game with her..the game is 12 fans come up and compete against each other. two go at a time. and Carrie will sing either songs from her CDs or cover songs..and she can sing wherever she wants in the song..and she'll stop and the first person to ring their bell and sing the rest of the song..goes to the next round..sadly i only got to like the top 5..but you still go home with a gift..i got some merchandise..its cool..first place girl got 2 plane tickets to Carrie's Next show. second place girl got an ipod touch. carrie is so awesome.
after the game. just announcements and we headed off back to our places..the party was great. got a free shirt on the way out. took pictures..ya gotta check my facebook for that..only posted up a few out of the many i took.
after the party just chilled at the mall before the concert that same night..it was a night full of carrie underwood :) before the actual show there was a small show outside of the place and they were twin sisters. they were awesome. i got to meet them..and they were so nice. the actual Opry show was amazing..it made me realize how awesome country music is. carrie underwood the show with a finale set ;)
then it was rest time before the softball game the next day. softball game was awesome. its nice to see country artist just have fun with each other but at the same time help a good cause. i finally got the chance to "meet" carrie underwood..i didnt get a chance to take a picture because she was so busy. but she did sign my tshirt. my trip to nashville was awesome.
the plane ride back wasnt. delayed for 17 hrs..not fun. but i would so go to nashville again if i had the chance..its the home of country music..gotta love it :) i would so live there if i could..haha
that is the highlight of my vacation. now its back home..working on music. hopefully it will be liked by people. now i'm thinking about country music..if its possible :) gotta stick to country if i can :)
i'll post up one pic for each event.
