somechick 1 Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 It's probably gonna be in bits because I want to post pics too and I can only put so many in one post. Â Â Â Â I actually really enjoyed the whole night. We met all the other people in APZ at check in out the front, then we had a private function upstairs that was really nice - lots of food and they had a candy station and you get a little box and you can pick your own candy! Plus there was a photo booth and two huge tvs playing gaga video clips. Everyone was talking and they were a great bunch of people. Honestly - there were mostly "older" (ie not many teenagers) there. I think the youngest guy there was 17, and he behaved like an adult. We got a really good bunch of people. Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Then just before 8pm we all went down to the APZ area together and I was so lucky - I got seat #1 which is closest to the front of the area! Lucky too since i'm so short! So we all just talked and waited for Starlight to finish and then danced a bit to the music between her and Gaga.... When the show started, everyone was going mental....dancing and singing and jumping around. I took quite a few pics, and I managed to record most of Brooklyn Nights! That was the only vid I took though coz the security guard was right next to me.http://youtu.be/7LsrX3hw010 Â Â Â Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimisaMonster 31,073 Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014  It was my 8th show and I hadn't managed to get anything yet  Stream my new single, 💜"Heartbeat"💜, on Spotify! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
somechick 1 Posted August 25, 2014 Author Share Posted August 25, 2014 So now to the "gossip" that everyone wants.....which isn't really all that juicy. I am posting this because really, nothing very personal was said in the group chat.  So once the show finished, a lady came to us and told us to wait in the APZ for a few minutes. We did, and while we waited I decided to "help out" the cleaning crew by picking up bunches of confetti from the APZ chairs, floor and the steps on the side of the piano that go from the APZ to the stage (that's how people get on stage during BTW if she asks them up - but don't think you can just walk on up, one of her personal security  team stands on the steps the whole show).  So once GA had cleared, we got taken backstage. In my nervousness about meeting Gaga for the first time I didn't even think to take a pic of the room and now i'm kicking myself, but there were couches and armchairs and a couple of well I dunno what you would call them, but big square footrest things but you could sit on them arranged in the middle of the room. On one side wall was a huge long table with different drinks on ice, plus a couple of different flavours of frozen daquiri's. Cheers Gagz, I had a drink for you (frozwn strawberry daquiri) - my first since October last year! :)  So once we got in, we were allowed to go to the bathroom (escorted of course) and when everyone had the chance to do that, Joya (who was one of the hosts) talked to us a bit about what would happen. Some people were asking what wig she would wear, and Joya said that she chooses he clothes and wig for the meet n greets and that she changed it up each night. Then some of the people there asked if they could request that she doesn't wear the "Italian curls wig"....which I would have never done.  Meh OK.... i typed up some rough stuff last night from the group chat and i need to go out to dinner, so I'll just paste it now and fix it up later:  Like literally we each got to ask one question, half of which she didn’t really answer. Like someone asked her what genre she thought her album after C2C would be and she said she didn't really want to talk about it, and someone else who was a huge Bon Jovi fan asked if she'd consider collaborating with him and she said she was open to anything. Then a girl told her about how Adam Lambert paid homage to her in Radio Gaga at the Queen/Adam Lambert show in Perth on Friday. A couple of guys told personal stories and thanked her for stuff. The guy next to me asked if there was any news about her and Taylor, which of course she dodged....well she said that she was happy but not the kind of girl that kept asking her man "where's the ring?" Someone asked if she'd do a cameo on Chicago Fire and she said it'd been talked about. SOmeone asked how long she's in Sin City for and she said "about a minute" One guy was in a broadway show and he said he was struggling being on the road and asked how she dealt with it, and she said that it's hard but if it's something you really want to do then you will deal with it and if it's not something you want to do then find another job. Someone else asked if she'd ever do a rock album and she said she had already done some rock songs like TEOG and U&I, and she even mentioned Dope as being a kind of rock song and she said that she doesn't want to be pigeon holed into one type of music....oh that's right someone had asked her if after C2C she would go back to making dance music. And she said that she wanted to feel fulfilled and that jazz music was for her like a hug to her heart and that it reached a place even alcohol couldn't for her. Then I said thank you for inspiring me to create, and I held up my jacket so she could see the BTW piece and the Applause piece, to which she said she'd loved them, and then I asked her what her plans were for the BTWF and if she was maybe looking to expand it and she said that they were always doing stuff but they don't always advertise it and that if someone went to her and said that they were feeling suicidal then she'd refer them to her Mom and then they could be shown how to get help from the right people etc and then she said it's not like i'm going to tweet every time we save someones life. And then I asked if there were plans for it outside the US because it's mostly there and she said that she thinks it's been far reaching anyway....like i'm not sure if she took my questions the wrong way or not. I mean she answered honestly and didn't sound b---hy or anything, but the tweet comment was kinda like "umm OK - I wasn't expecting you to do that"....like I was asking from a place of interest, not as a put down or trying to say they weren't doing enough. Then we got to listen to two tracks from C2C - Nature Boy and Bang Bang, Then it was photo time and it was a cattle call literally. You walk up to her, she already has her hand up, she actually commented that she loved my top, I said thanks, I bent down, put my "paw" up, they took two pics and I had to walk out....although it was kinda weird because like they took the pics but then she kinda didn't let go of me for a few seconds but I had already let go of her so I was kinda like....umm am I meant to leave now or what? lol Oh yeah and I got a "signed" (read scribble you can't even read that it says Lady Gaga tbh) tour book. I'm not sure how I really feel about the whole thing. The whole night itself was great, but seriously, the chat was so short....like maybe 25-30mins including the 2 songs and then the pics were like 2 seconds and you could not say anything to her really...  Ok that's really rought and maybe doesn't sound good but it was still a great experience....more later! I'm doing 13 total. :p  I know that skirt..... I know that skirt WELL lol I'm sure you do. ;) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChicaSkas 21,111 Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 What a great story! Poor Gaga. She's like Obama's press secretary... she can't answer everything the way the fans want to hear it hahaha! And yeah I wish things weren't a cattle call... lol I'm sure you do. ;) Do YOU own the 4' by 6' Perfect Illusion promo Poster? Will pay you for it.
