What do you get when you mix a hurricane & a Backstreet Boy?

Revelation Generation: Frenchtown, NJ. 9/2/06.

So Brian was supposed to perform at Revelation Generation...only that didn't happen because Hurricane Ernesto had other plans. LOL

First I drove from Buffalo to NJ. That took about 8 hours. Fun stuff. Checked into the hotel for the night since the event wasn't until the next day.

So we got to the farm that was in the middle of nowhere at like 6am. We wanted to be in the front. I didn't think we needed to get there THAT early for a Christian concert but we did. Turned out we weren't the only ones with that idea. There were a few other fans there as well. The event staff was still finishing setting everything up. So we just hung out played around and amused ourselves for a while. 

They had a sign for the event. Check out how they spelled Brian's name: FAIL!

It started to rain a little bit but at first it wasn't too serious. By 11am we were soaked. Everyone kept saying "Oh don't worry the show is still happening." We would randomly ask people about the show and if Brian was there yet and stuff. They kept saying "He's on his way." They kept trying to fix the tarp on the stage that kept blowing around. They had 2 stages. A few acts actually performed before the weather got really bad. By around 2pm nothing was happening and everyone was getting annoyed and mad.

They even had a sign that was at a table where Brian was supposed to do a Meet-N-Greet after he performed. That never happened though.

I decided to go find someone who looked like they knew what they were doing and I said to the guy "Can you please tell me where Brian Littrell is?" He pointed and said "He's over there in that Hummer." I looked at him and said "If I go over there and he's not there we are gonna have a problem." So I didn't believe the guy so I decided to be funny and I like tip-toed towards the Hummer. Well I should have believed the guy because as I did that the window of the hummer starts going down and I see Brian making a cheesy/silly face. Then he waved. Oops? At first it was me and a few friends. Then about 2 minutes later there were a bunch of fans. Guess word got out where Brian was hiding? ;) Security was lame and wouldn't let anyone really near Brian except for like 3 fans who came all the way from Europe to see Brian perform. LOL

I managed to hand Brian (a very wet) card. It happened to be his and Leighanne's anniversary that day. Leighanne was actually with him. She was in the backseat of the hummer. He said Thank you. Then they made everyone back away because they were leaving. Since Brian wasn't performing they moved his flight up so he could go home. Brian was in the drivers seat but he hopped over to go into the passenger seat. (Guess he didn't wanna get out and go around and get all wet? LOL) 

I was standing on the passenger side as he drove away so he waved and mouthed "You look a little wet!" Leighanne slapped his shoulder like she was saying "That was mean." Good job Leighanne because it was a little mean. LOL

So the trip was pretty wasted but seeing Brian for a few minutes is better than not seeing him at all I guess.
