MarryTheNight91 91 Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 They announced they were filming A Star is Born in NYC on Thursday night. Shout out to my friend who gave me the heads up on the email that got sent out. I put in my request. I filled out my entire profile, uploading a headshot and all of that. I consulted my brother who is an actor and he said my pictures were good. The site said it improves your chances if you do all of that. They sent out emails to people who got selected on Friday. I didn't get one, oh well. I had hopes that I'd get tickets in a second wave or whatever. I kept persisting; I found a promo code thanks to a friend and edited it into my request on Saturday. Sunday afternoon....I'm in Chicago getting ready to head home to NYC and I get the email saying I'm confirmed to go. I completely lost it, total breakdown lmao, I cried for like 10 minutes. My mom was so hype lmaooo y’all have no idea. My aunt and uncle bugged out too, everyone was so happy for me. My flight landed at LaGuardia at like 9:15pm. I sprinted off the plane and to an Uber. My Uber driver legit said "you're crazy" since I met him at a spot that's totally not a real pickup spot. I needed to get home to go to bed. I got home at 11pm on Sunday night, went to bed and woke up at 4am to head downtown. I got to the studio at 6:15, one of the first people there. While we were waiting to get in, I met a bunch of people from twitter that I've never met in person before. It was dope. Filming began around 9 I think. They took our phones at the start of the day so I had no access to the outside world. I didn't know what time it was throughout the day. It was liberating honestly and I'm really happy they took them, it helped keep me in the moment. I was so locked into what I was watching. All of the filming was happening right in front of me. They moved us around a bunch so I didn't always have the best view but towards the end I was front row and center. We were in elevated bleachers, so things were happening below us, to try to give you a sense of it. At times though Gaga and Bradley were basically just right in front of me. I could hear Bradley giving directions to people. I could hear conversations sometimes. I could her Gaga say random stuff at times. Gaga didn't come out until maybe 2 hours into the day. She just came out casually. I didn't think it was her at first lol. I was so in shock to finally see her. Honestly felt transcended into another plane of existence, I don't know how to describe it. I've never seen her in the flesh before. For like 10 minutes I didn't take my eyes off of her. I was crying with my hands over my face. So many goosebumps and like my whole body felt euphoric. Some woman behind me was trying to talk to me and I continually ignored her. I was on the edge of my seat for most of the day, my friend thought I'd fall off lmao. I was incredibly emotional, I'm tearing up writing this. Watching Gaga throughout the day was unbelievable. Watching Bradley Cooper direct all day was incredible. How much I love him gets lost in this a little bit since obviously the day was really about Gaga for me. He is arguably my favorite actor though. I am so blessed that I got to observe Gaga all day. When they were filming it was dope, but all the moments in between were just as amazing (there is a lot of down time on sets). Watching her interact with Bradley, other actors, her dancers, her entourage. She was so playful, lot of joking around. I saw her father and sister on set at one point. It feels like I spent the whole day with her in an intimate setting. They moved us around a bunch of times in the crowd but towards the end I had my best seat of the day, front row and basically center. I was in the second row but then these two women in the front row left with like an hour left in the day and I jumped right in. Perfect timing. At the end, Bradley thanked all of us and walked out. Gaga then thanked us as well and started to walk towards the exit backstage. She was in conversations with people as she walked towards the exit. I’d say it was like 15 seconds from her thanking all of us, to her exiting, walking towards me the entire time since the exit she was luckily right below me. It seemed odd to me but like no one was really crowding around to try to get her attention it seemed. Just me and this one woman really. I leaned over the railing and think I said “Gaga, Gaga, Gaga, I love you, I love you.” To give you a sense of how close she was, if I reached down my hand she probably would have been able to touch it. She was about to exit and be out of site, but right before that, she looked directly at me. We locked eyes and she said “love you too”, as she disappeared backstage. It was a split second interaction. I didn't know how to act. I was like did that just happen? And the women next to me was like yea she looked right at you, that was real. It all happened so fast and didn't feel real. A second after our brief interaction, she was gone. The whole day was just unreal. It was so interesting to watch them film a movie. It was so special for me to simply just watch Gaga all day. I am at a loss for words. I am still processing everything and I don’t think it has all fully hit me yet. It was one of the best days of my life. I made it a life event on Facebook 😂😭. Everyone is so happy for me, they all know how important she is to me. Thank you God, what a day. (don't ask me about specifics from what they filmed tomorrow, I'm not sharing that, it's supposed to be private). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I was right in front of you and then you got moved to the front row next to me or one seat over. I think I heard you say to the other guy some of the same things you wrote in here so I'm curious. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I turned around a few time to try to hear better and I was worried you were thinking that I was looking at you because I was annoyed with the talking I didn't know you were a Gagadaily member otherwise I would have introduced myself.

Not at all!! I haven't been on here for long and I'm not that active. I was actually getting annoyed at people talking too so sorry if I was a hypocrite and bothered you. I was kind of in my own world honestly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
