Barnes & Noble book signing, Santa Monica CA,

Well, first of all, I was very nervous! When I got there a lot of fans were waiting to meet them and everyone was so exited. Luckily I was one of the fan club winners so, along with about nine other people, I didn't have to wait in line like some other people did. We were the first people to go in and meet Dylan and Cole and we got to wait in the back of the room to watch them sign until the VIP session ended. But anyway when the staff told the winners to follow them into the back room where we'd meet them everyone was so happy and I was trying to search every corner to make sure they weren't there, because if they were just sitting there, waiting for the fans to come I probably would have fainted! I needed to prepare myself. About a minute after we waited in the room, Dylan and Cole come walking in and all the fans just started screaming, it was crazy! All I could say was ''Wow!!'' Then they said thanks for coming and all and they started signing. I was the fourth person in line to get my copy of 47 R.O.N.I.N signed and to meet the boys. When I walked up my mom kept telling me to say something and all I could get out was ''I'm so nervous!'' We said hi and They asked where I was from and then my mom pointed out my shirt (system of a down) and Cole was like ''Oh yeah System of a Down!'' So then I took a picture with them and the staff told me I could either leave or wait on the side to watch them finish and of course I wanted to wait! So they met everyone, took pictures, etc. and then the time where we had to leave came. I wanted to say bye to them but I was really shy and my mom told me that if I wanted to say bye then say bye. I thought yeah because when am I ever going to get another chance to talk to them again! So I went up to say bye and Dylan said ''Bye! Thanks for coming!'' But I could tell he was kind of shy. Then we left and I wanted to do it all over again! It was completely a dream come true! I was very happy.

Planet Hollywood, CODE LAUNCH

On there website i found out they were having a private party at planet Hollywood in NYC and i made my Madre take me. so me along with 300 other 13 year old girls are there waiting outside for them to come. so their manger gives out free copies of there magazine that is coming out next month and i got my sharpie out so when they come they can sign it. then this TV guy comes up to me and asks me to say something on camera to Dylan and Cole. then this photographer came to me out of like 300 people and asked me to hold up my magazine i got so he could take a picture and try to put me in the next issue of POPSTAR...TIGERBEAT and of course SPROUSE-BROS CODE. i was so happy. then there manger saw i had a sharpie and came over and said..."Cole just called me and Dylan brought a sharpie but Cole forgot so can i have yours and ill make sure u get a special autograph?" so i gave it to her. then Cole and Dylan came and they signed my magazine. (got pictures of that) then they went to there private party. (I also got picture of Mary Kate and Ashley cause they basically own dyl and Cole now) then i never got my "special autograph...plus they still had my sharpie lmao.) so i walked over to a lady and told her i wanted to meet Cole to ask for my sharpie back (don’t give a crap bout the sharpie just want to meet him) so she was like idk...go eat dinner then come back here i promise i will be here and ill see what i can do. so i eat dinner and go back and SHE LEFT! i was pissed. so i told this guard that she ditched me and he let me go in the elevator that takes u to the private party with all the celebs then he got someone and they took us over to them but right as soon as we were walking towards them they had to go into another room for a interview. then the lady was like sorry there going to be in there a while but we fell bad about them taking your sharpie (really i seriously don’t care bout the sharpie don’t they get that?) so she gave me a GIFT BAG! from the party that all the celebrities got to take home. it had cool stuff in there like a backpack...a hat....gift card to cold stone....magazines.....toys...and more. then right as soon as we were about to leave THEY WALK OUT! and the lady asked if i could take a picture. Dylan came over to me and put his arm around me but Cole didn’t hear her and started to walk away. then Dylan was like "yo Cole come on where u going?" then Cole ran over and was like SORRY! and put his arm around me. then my mom had no idea how to work my camera so she was taking a picture with the camera lens closed...then me and Cole had a conversation well she was trying to figure out how to work it...it was short convo tho....

ME: mom the lens is closed (she didn’t hear me)
ME: MOM THE LENS IS CLOSED!!
COLE: excuse me i think the lens is closed (then she realized it ha ha)
COLE: wow that would have really stunk if you left and thought u got a picture then u really didn’t
