JK: Live and Unfinished in Toronto

The first question that has to be asked is, why is the Jon girl writing the blog about the JK concert?  If you keep reading, you will find the answer to that very question.

Concert tickets were purchased, hotel was booked, but there was still something missing.  The mission to get VIP for the JK concert was in full effect.  We needed 5 VIP tickets, and there was a maximum purchase of two per order.  However, as we always say, "we got this".  Cue Cindy and I attempting to buy 5 VIPs using three accounts.  Cindy pulled up hers, I pulled up 2, and then refresh, refresh, refresh, and we pulled up the final 2.  We were ready for JK.

As with any event, our night started at the hotel.  Some of our best memories come from getting ready, talking, tweeting, and listening to music before the show.  Finally, we head over to the venue for the show.

We get there for VIP, and after checking in we head upstairs to a Food Network event Jordan is taping.  We get some snacks and get to see JK - that is a double win for us.

After the taping it is time for soundcheck.  The highlight of soundcheck had to be when he pulled out his phone.  One of the girls called him out, and he said he wasn't on twitter, he was checking his songs. "You wouldn't mind if I was tweeting or DMing you". Truth JK, truth.

JK did an amazing job on that stage.  He is a great performer, and the crowd loved every minute of it.  Our JK girls - Andrea and Kelly - could barely contain themselves during 'O-Face'. (Even the Donnie girls - Cindy and Krys - questioned their choice...if only for a second).

Now, here is the reason I am writing this blog.  We knew Jon was in Toronto with Jordan, but we weren't sure if we would see him.  We saw him quickly before the show started - which made me VERY happy.  However, at the end of the show Jon came out on stage and hugged JK.  I can speak on behalf of all Jon girls there when I say, I LOVED IT.  It was short, but seeing him in person and smiling made my night.  *cue everyone tweeting pictures of the Jon/JK hug*

After the show it was time for VIP pictures.  First JK came out and gave each VIP a rose (we made sure to get pics of the JK girls getting theirs).  The five of us were about to take a picture with our roses when JON CAME OUT AGAIN.  He came out to say bye to JK, and I may or may not have totally ignored my girls at this point.  I know they understand though ;)

It was a great night with my ladies and the Knights.
