Hands down, my favorite pre-show moments took place on my way to the soundcheck party, when the Momm, myself, and a small group of others, were being taken in the back way (because Momm's so kick ass... and in a wheelchair ... I'll let you figure out which reason is what actually got us in that way.. lol),

As we were going through the hallways (the hallways the guys' bodyguards and tour staff apparently walk around in, since they were there), and a guy next to me and I both noticed a door open, and we both glanced at it -- then both laughed out loud.

It said "first aid" on the door.
It had a makeshift bar inside.
Classic!

Another favorite happened about one minute later, as we arrived where we were to wait to be let in. I, and a little girl named Corey, both froze in place and did a quick "shhh!" to everyone walking with us (in unison, mind you).

Chris was rehearsing the first verse of "Hey Jude" for the Beatles medley. Definitely a good moment for us two Chris girls. It also made me smile to know the guys rehearse and do a real soundcheck prior to the semi-public soundcheck party. Just another example of their quest for perfection. :)

Last, but definitely not least: meeting Joey a second time (and presenting the Project *NSYNCable scrapbook to him), some primo Chris moments (including shaking his hand), and meeting Tim Miller.

All this, of course, was followed a couple of hours later by the best concert I've been to thus far in my life. Good times.
