"You can break everything I am/like i'm made of glass..made of paper/Go on and try to tear me down/I will be rising from the ground like a Skyscraper"

On November 22nd, 2011 I went to the Unbroken Tour. There is nothing I like more then a good concert. Right after school my friend S and her sister came over to my house and we prepared for the big event. We made these really cool glow in the dark posters and hit the road. When we arrived at The Midland, my mom dropped us off at the side door. Behind a big, fancy tour bus. We automatically knew it was Demi's. The three of us were super excited and one of my friends knocked on the door. No one came. So we started walking on the sidewalk to see if we could find any other buses. On the way there, A guy walked past us and said, "Nice posters". He was really cute and really stylish, but we were in a strange city and didn't want to risk talking to strangers. He had his cell phone and was talking and next thing you know he walked into the backstage entrance of the Midland! He was with Demi! We couldn't believe it.

Since he made it look so easy we decided to open the door and go in. Imagine our surprise when there was an old security guard sitting on a chair just starring at us. We smiled and tried to sweet talk our way down but it didn't work. We met people outside who had met Demi with these special meet and greet passes, and two brothers and their sister who were trying to meet Demi. It was getting late so we entered the Midland and found our seats. We still hadn't given up. We saw that guy again, this time with a VIP pass come out of these curtains. Following the earlier trend, we went behind the curtain. There were signs and arrows leading to "dressing rooms". We had finally made it! We started fast walking when this big booming voice goes "TURN AROUND NOW". It was a different security guard. We started walking back but I tried to play dumb and walk the wrong direction. He wasn't in the mood for games and demanded I go the other way. We fast walked then disapeared into the bathroom so they wouldn't know which seats were ours. When we came back they had three very tough looking security guards watching the curtain and everyone that entered. I felt pretty bad a** being the reason they were there. I was finally fearless.

The show itself was amazing. Demi's voice was so strong and out of this world. She could hit all kinds of notes and had a lot of passion in her voice. She sang old songs and new songs. My favorites were Don't Forget, Lightweight, Skyscraper (she played piano beautifully with this one), Who's That Boy, Together, and so much more. I sang along to every work and was so proud of how far she's come this last year. As soon as she finished the encore, me and my friends ran out to her tour bus and sure enough, there were guards sitting there with these post things to hold people back. We started the line, and many people soon followed. We were waiting for Demi.

We stood there for almost 2 hours and her security guard promised us that she'd be there soon. We saw almost everyone from her tour, eventually our friend from the sidewalk came out. We called out to him to come over but he gave us the wait sign. When he came back out I yelled " Guy in the leather jacket, come over here, you promised". He looked into my eyes and sure enough he walked over. We shook hands and it turned out that he remembered us. We chatted a little and he shook our hands. It was great. After he left, Demi's dad came out. I was the only one that recognized him and I said, "DEMI'S DAD. HI DEMI's DAD!" - I was very filled with energy. Sure enough, he waved at me. A few minutes after Demi came out and we all screamed. She signed some autographs, touched my poster, but couldn't unroll it to sign it. It was a little disapointing but I was amazed I even got a chance to meet her. She was absolutely beautiful in person. Here's the video of us meeting her AND her cover of moves like jagger. It was unforgettable.

Quote of the Day: "The Mirror can lie. Doesn't show you what's inside. And it, it can tell you you're full of life. It's amazing what you can hide just by putting on a smile" - Demi
