Meeting Lady Gaga in Milwaukee

[thefamebitch 695]

So yesterday me and my best friend drove up to the Milwaukee artRave from Chicago.  We got to the venue about 6am, we numbered our hands to keep ensure that whomever was waiting first was going to be the first in line, my friend and I were #2 and #3.   We met a lot of great people in line though which made the wait for getting into the venue a lot easier. 

Around 5 we were instructed to get into a line, two people next to each other and eventually we were lead to the check-in area.  After we were all checked in, we had to wait for the soundcheck to finish and I'd say about 6:45(?) we were lead into the pit area.  My best friend and I both got front row and center.  

 

Crayon Pop was actually pretty good!  They were so cute, I liked it a lot more than Hatsune Miku.  Then Lady Starlight played for about an hour.  Around 9:30 they pulled the curtains down and the show started, it was crazy.  Gaga came right in front of us and reached out and touched our hands, she did this about 3 times during the show.  

 

The show was awesome and the energy of the pit was crazy, you could tell Gaga was having a great time during the show.  After she performed Aura, that's when my friend and I threw up literally about 20 letters that we wrote, most of them attached to beanie babies.  

 

Watching her, she picked up one of our notes as I could tell from the writing it was my friends.  At first I didn't think she was going to read it, so I started screaming "GAGA READ THE LETTER PLEASE!" She read it and it was my friends, she asked the crowd where he was and we pointed him out to her, she came right up front, leaned over and kissed him.  At this point I was losing my mind, I was screaming "I love you! I love you Gaga!" then she turned to me and said, "would you like to go backstage as well?" Of course I said yes.  

 

So we enjoyed the remainder of the show, afterwards we went to the area that the security guard instructed us to go to.  We immediately went backstage and sat in a waiting area for about 45 minutes.  After the wait, we were lead up more stairs and stood against a wall down the hall from her dressing room.  

 

Lacee passed us and we chatted with her for about 5 minutes while we were waiting.  We also saw Asia being carried down the hallway by a security guard as well.  After about a 10 minute wait, we were lead inside the room. 

 

Immediately I thought my heart was going to stop, I walked into the room and I saw a couple security guards, Emma from here and Asia with her adorable little eyes peering around.

 

Gaga quickly approached us and gave both of us a hug and asked us if we liked the show, we said yes.  We chatted for a couple minutes about the tour and we basically were gushing to her, she then asked to sign our tour books, she wrote "Sam-ARTPOP, Lady Gaga" on my tour book.  I told her how much we loved the tour and how ARTPOP brought me and a bunch of my friends together, she looked me dead in the eyes and said "thank you so much, honestly that's so kind of you to say."  I told her how the Chicago show is going to be big and that there's going to be a lot of monsters there and she said, "oh yeah it's going to be great, it's also around Taylors birthday!"

 

We then posed for a group picture (My friend, Lady Gaga and myself).  Then we took an individual picture with her as well. After that, we both gave her another hug and were escorted out. It was an awesome experience and I can't even believe it happened, I'm definitely still in shock about everything.  She's such a sweetheart and was so grateful for the gushing we put her thorough lol.

I'm happy that you had a great time, but what you did was unacceptable. You should only throw one or two letters, and not so many just so Gaga reads yours. This way other people would have the chance to see Gaga backstage too. I believe it was disrespectful towards other monsters, and selfish.
