Sometimes when you are fourteen and love a boy band,
the stars align in your favor.
I mentioned a drive into Los Angeles on the beach trip post; it was in hope of seeing One Direction in concert! We were ticketless and knew the concert was SOLD OUT but that did not thwart our determination- besides a concert is never truly sold out when you have scalpers! Jason and Jace dropped Lauren and I off in the shadow of the towering Staples Center. We looked straight past the giggly girls with bouncing curls and right through the hovering moms trying to fit in with their skinny jeans, in search of someone with tickets to sell to the unprepared. Now you might think it a difficult task to procure tickets from someone who is touting tickets, but once you stepped off the Staples property and crossed the street they were pretty easy to find. Grown men in gansta get up don't fit in with the 1D groupies. We negotiated with several dealers until we found one; an overweight black man wearing stretched out sweats whose smile revealed several missing teeth, with the goods at a price we were willing to pay. In fact we ended up with super awesome seats 3rd row up from the floor(see ticket then seating chart) and payed less for them than if I had got them through the venue. In my cheap soul I know I could of held out a little longer and likely got them cheaper but Lauren really wanted to see the opener 5 Seconds of Summer. Liam, Zayn, Louis, Niall, and Harry were amazing!! I have to say I'm a wee bit of a One Direction fan myself! Of course Lauren loved every second and I hope that this is something she will remember forever!!
