A Meet & Greet with One Direction


Over the past week, I was lucky enough to have my family up in Sydney staying with me. It was a week filled with endless coffee's, a zoo trip, many laughs, beautiful dinners, a little too much shopping...Oh and a meet and greet with British boy band; One Direction. After months of harping to get her tickets to their sold out concert, I was fortunate enough to be able to get my 14 year old sister and her friend tickets to their VIP meet and greet performance. I must admit, I was not thrilled when I was told I would have to be their guardian and attend the concert with them. I'm sure every 14 year old girl would think that I have been living under a rock, but I had no idea really who they were! On Wednesday, 2day FM hosted a secret VIP performance for competition winners and media. Due to the hysteria surrounding the band, we had to meet at a hotel with 2dayFM and board a bus to a secret location, so that the love struck fans could not gatecrash the special event. The boys played 4 songs, including their hits; 'What makes you beautiful' and 'One Thing.' After their mini show, a select few got to meet and greet the boys and I was worried that my younger sister would pass out! They were a lovely bunch of down to earth guys, who did have a few jokes to share about my heels! No fainting happened (Thank God!), however their were a few tears from my sister when it was all over. After seeing them perform and meeting them, I can now say that I am a fan…and I may of snuck off to JB HiFi after the event to purchase their album!
