~ o.G.A.g. ~ - author Looooonng read but trust me, its well worth it. DAY 1 Thursday ( KIIS FM ) I’d have to say that this weekend was simply amazing. Things just got better and better as the days progressed. There were down times here and there but patience always pays off in the end. And on that weekend, I proved that saying right. It started on Thursday ( 5/29/03 ) at 8 a.m. as I checked my bags if I had everything packed. After that, I went to go get some items for my trip like water, food, and maps. Originally, I was suppose to leave around 5 or 6pm so that I can pick up k1n3t1k from the airport at 11:20 pm but the night before the trip, Yulia_r0xx and myself decided to meet up at the KIIS fm studio coz we heard that t.A.T.u. will be present to do a interview a few nights ago and it was a last minute thing. So I left around 11:20 a.m. and got there around 1 p.m. I chilled in the outdoor foodcourt for 2 hours and decided to walk around the buildings sidewalk/main entrance. That’s when I saw a purple car pass by with driven by a girl staring hard at me ( I was too ) that’s when I realized that it was Yulia_r0xx. So she turned around and parked and we got acquainted. We chilled for a few hours just talking and getting to know each other better. Then I get a call from Zashy asking where we were located coz she cant find us ( she eventually did after a few turns ) So all 3 of us where there. We spent some time talking together when Yulia_r0xx told us that she was getting cold and that she was gonna get a sweater from her car. Like 30 mins later, we decided to check on her on whats going on coz she never returned. She was in her car wrapping some gifts! Lol! Afterwards we decided that we should get something to eat. So we headed off to the nearest subway restaurant and bought our sandwiches and went back to the KIIS FM station and ate at their outdoor tables. After our little dinner, I decided to walk up to the building and go up to the main doors to ask the guard a question. The building has closed coz it was after hours. Only employees with a card can go in. So I decided to call KIIS FM. After literally 50 or more attempts, I got in and I talked to the receptionist who recognized us when she entered the building. So I told her that we wanted to meet t.A.T.u. and she said to hold so she can connect me to JOJO ( the D.J.) so after like 30 mins on hold, I finnaly got to talk to JOJO for about 2 mins. I asked politely if we are able to go up and watch the interview up close. He said that he would love to invite us but its up to the buildings security to let us in coz they just rent the space there. It is policy not to let anyone in after hours without a badge. So he said that if that doesn’t work, he will inform the girls that there are fans down the building who want to meet them. So either way we ARE going to meet them. WooooHOOOO!!!! That was my reaction. So I pretty much stayed on hold till JOJO can find out if the building officials will let us in. I was on hold for more than an hour and id have to say it was well worth it. Well I was pretty much still on hold when I see a convoy of 3 cars, 2 other vehichles and one black Lincoln continental with a license plate that started with the word MUSIC. As I saw the plate my heart literally started pounding like a MOFO. I was at the parking lot at this time so I started walking towards the main doors with Yulia_r0xx. There was Zashy and Alerg talking to the guard. I was like “ uhhh….that’s them! “ and Zashy and Alerg turned around to look. I saw a dude ( david the translator ) in a white shirt and visor get out of the first car and a woman ( publicist for intercope? ). Then I see a pale little girl in a cap with shades on. I was like HOLY SH*T! its Lena!!! My knees started to get weak by this time, then Yulia got out wearing her pink pants and pink sweater with her “ Trinity “ hairdo and glasses on top of her hair. It was very quiet and no was in screaming in shock. We were calm on the outside but inside, god knows how we felt. Hee hee! They kept walking towards the door and this is where Alerg comes into play. Alerg starts talking in Russian to Yulia asking if they are available to do some autographs with their loyal fans. She said that they don’t have time right now coz they have to do the interview and that they will meet us afterwards. As they approach the door, the guard stops them and tells them to wait as he confirms their appointment. We were like “ dude that’s them!!! Let them in coz that’s t.A.T.u.!!! He was just following company policy or maybe he did it on purpose for us. Yulia said “ they don’t like us here “ in Russian and Alerg was like “ No we love you very much here. “ Well by that time we go up the stairs and Alerg asked them again and they said ok. So the signing began. Lena didn’t look so well as we found out that they had sushi and she felt sick afterwards. She wasn’t in the mood. Yulia_r0xx talked to her a little bit asking her how she was feeling. She looked very tired and jet lagged. I didn’t get a clear shot of her face coz she was always looking down. And she also squatted for a while. I took a pic of her while she was sqatting and she looked at me and was like “ eh? “ and im like “oops sorry,” she just game a little smile back. Then after that I was busy getting autographs and taking pictures. Then the woman who was accompanying them said that me and yulia are the same size and that we look cute together. Yulia turned to me and gave me the brightest smile that ever came out of her. We were staring eye to eye and I smiled back. my face just lit up like the sun. ( no BS-ask zashy and yulia_r0xx! ) My heart was melting at this point. I never felt so good. Yulia_r0xx and zashy and alerg were busy getting pictures and autographs as well during this time. Now the guard comes out and says that they are ready for the interview. So as we were wrapping up the little autograph session, Yulia_r0xx hands them gifts that she made for them. I remembered that I have a gift for Yulia as well. I reach into my jackets pocket and pulled out a black a A | X beanie identical to the one I was wearing at the time just different in color. I hand it to her and she said “ thank you “ and smiled. I replied with a “ you’re welcome “ and smiled back. I started to walk with yulia towards the entrance and then they start to go through the doors and head to the elevators. Me and the others look at each other and just freaked out like WOAH! We were just like in major shock. We were like skipping back to Yulia_r0xx’s car just started to talk about it. Then we turned on the radio to listen to the interview. We were just talking and talking while we were at the car. Fast forward 30 mins or so and the interview ended so we head up to the doors again. There they came out and what do I see? I see Yulia wearing my Beanie!! Woot!!! I began snapping pics. They continued to walk towards their car and we did another mini autograph session right there. More stuff got singned and more pics were taken. The last half of that mini session this one dude David or was it Daniel ( translator ) started to get in the way of each photograph. Alerq wanted to get a pic with both of the girls but Lena wasn’t in the mood but he got her to take one pic which he is very proud of, ( lucky bastard ! hee hee J/K ) He got a pic with both of them in his arms. Then they started to go into their car. We just kept snapping for pics and saying thank you for everything and that we are goin to be at the rehearsals the following day and at the MTV MA’s. The woman who was with them said “ That’s good ! “ The car started to go and stopped for a moment and backed up a little and Yulia started to talk to the woman who I believe is a publicist for Interscope records.. She was basically discussing what they we’re gonna do the following day and on Saturday. We were saying thank you the whole time and then, they left….. All of us gathered around Yulia_r0xx’s car and started talking about the whole experience for like another 15 mins. And by that time we decided to go because I need to pick up k1n3t1k from the airport at 11:00. Yulia_r0xx had to go home as well as Alerg while be and Zashy head to LAX to pick k1n3t1k up. Me and Zashy decided not to tell him until we pick up Nunzilla and that we are settled at the hotel. It was hard trying to keep a straight face. Lol!! So we pick him up and check in and head to pick up Nunzilla at the busstation. We get to the hotel and setup our little workstation. K1n3t1k brought his laptop so that we are updated with whats going on on the forum and stuff. Then we decided to look at the pics. We still haven’t told them until the slideshow began. I started showing pics of me during my trip then BAM! Yulia’s pics show up and Zashy was just like “ Yea we met them !!! “ k1n3t1k and Nunzilla didn’t believe what they were seeing. Hah! That whole shock phase lasted the whole night. We went to bed around 3-4 am and had to wake up early for another meetup with this time, everyone exept Alerg who wasn’t able to make it due to his work schedule. Well that concludes day one of out little tatu meet up in LA. If you think this was a good experience, trust me you might wanna read the next part of this post in a few days. It only gets better...

Yulia_r0xx ::author:: Indeed! It's lengthy, but we are trying our best to share our experiences with you all. 05.28.03 I went from OC to Burbank, but had to take a detour because just my luck the 5 FWY was closed. I exited at 3PM and circled the KIIS FM building repeatedly, trying to figure out where I should park. Instead of parking, I decided to grab the things I needed by driving a long way down some random street until I found a Staples. At 4PM, I returned and resume my circulation of the building, finally doing a slow motion drive by when someone in a certain A|X beanie caught my eye. Ogag also happened to be staring back at me through my tinted windows since I guess a super slow car does look rather suspicious, doesn’t it? I parked and we met up, and he led me inside the building to the 8th floor where the KIIS FM studio was. We loitered around there for a while, somewhat intimidated already because Ogag was told by the lady there that the only way to get tickets was to listen to the radio for contests. I was listening to the radio during my drive and heard no such thing. We decided to go back outside and waited around this patio for Zashy to arrive. When finally all 3 of us met up we continue to sit around for a while. The time between 5PM and 6:30PM I went to my car a few times and made them wonder what in the world I was doing because they would be long half hour intervals. I was doing some wrapping in there because I thought just a plain yellow box wasn’t very impressive looking. I also wrote out cards telling them about their U.S. fans and about tatu.us, but my writing wasn’t that great because it was in a hurry, in a car, and a part of me didn’t think there was a chance they would read it anyway. By 6:30PM the sky was starting to dim, and it was beginning to grow rather chilly so we decided to re-enter the building, but by then it was locked and security couldn’t let us through. I tried to chat with the guard, talked about t.A.T.u.; even though for the most part he seemed a bit critical, he was still relatively nice. I know I felt a tinge of despair creeping in as time passed because we kept trying, but couldn’t figure out how to get into the building. Around this time, Alerg also arrived. It was funny, because I first I mistook him for someone who came from inside the building to let us in. Our persistence and patience paid off though, in the extreme sense. Within moments, we went from dwindling hope to instant elation. 8:50PM, we were still outside, Zashy and Alerg were near the steps that led up to the building, I was standing next to my car across the street, Ogag directly across from me on the sidewalk. I glance down to my left when I noticed the headlights and dark vehicle, an SUV approaching, passes us and makes a right. By then, both Ogag and I were staring intently at the black Lincoln car driving by between us, that also makes a right and parks. We kept half whispering half yelling to each other that that could be them. Ogag started to make his way to the others, while I was still feeling stunned. It took me a few moments before I could gather my things and myself, and run across the street. Ogag, Alerg, and Zashy were all waiting at the end of the pathway that went from the vehicle to the steps of the building. Relative to the car, those 3 were on the left side, while silly me was still standing on the right side. From here on out my mind went on vacation mode because I even tried to walk down the path to the car, but Ogag had the sense to wave me back. So we just stood there in silence, our necks craned out to try and get a good look at the car door opening, the color pink. Yes, since my vision wasn’t so great, I just remember a great deal of pink. Immobile, we all just stared at them as they started to walk toward us. I barely registered the man and the woman with them because I was too intent on staring at the talkative small figure and the equally small figure near her in a red jacket, dark cap, and red sunglasses. They were half-way down the path when I suddenly panicked, had a strange realization that I was standing alone, so I made a mad dash across the path and to the others. (I’m sure Lena and Yulia didn’t fail to notice my awkwardness. ^_^;;; ) They continued to walk, we continued to stare, and then Alerg starts to talk to them in Russian when they were in audible range. We literally followed their every movement as they walked by us, but we were very still except for Alerg’s talking. I felt such a daze every single time I heard Yulia’s voice responding to Alerg. I didn’t even have time to think about how I couldn’t believe this was happening to us, right here, right now! At first Alerg translated for us that Yulia said they were already late for the interview and couldn’t take pictures with us, but maybe later. We were all still too busy staring at them when they got to the door, and the guard asked them to wait. At that moment, Zashy and I found our voices somehow and started to yell to him something along the lines of “It’s them! They’re t.A.T.u.!” Alerg caught Yulia saying that the U.S. doesn’t like them, and took the opportunity to tell them that we love them here and would they take pictures with us. How we got so close to them after that was a bit of a blur to me. They walked towards us with Yulia leading and Lena somewhat hanging back on the left side, looking down most of the time. We started to move towards them as well. Zashy, Alerg, and Ogag formed a half-circle around Yulia since she agreed to sign and take pictures. I took a quick glance but knew I couldn’t get Yulia’s attention at the time, so I reached for one of the gifts I had prepared and took a few unsure steps towards Lena, held the present out and told her that this was for her. She accepted the gift, lifted her head to meet my staring eyes, gave me a very small but heartwarming smile, and said softly, “thank you.” Then she looks down again, hugging the present near her stomach, and I started to babble apologetically about the poor wrapping and how it was done in the car, but then my voice trailed off ‘cause she really didn’t look like she felt well at all. I then said to Lena that she must be very tired, and she quietly agreed then looked down again, and my voice trails off once more. I was still watching Lena, but was also trying to pull the album out of the pocket of my cargo capri. Lena kind of gave me a funny look when I was struggling. By this time, Yulia made her rounds and was finally standing right in front of me. I looked up, still tugging at the album, trying not to rip my pants in the process. Another moment of panic, since Yulia was actually waiting for me, so I quickly handed my present to her. She smiled a little too and tells me “thanks.” I just nod, still looking at her, while my hands fumbled with the latch on the folder that holds my magazine. The latch breaks off instead and falls to the floor and both Yulia and I looked down at it for a moment. Then she looks up at me and I just took a step towards her with my magazine, and asked her if she would sign it. She nods and says, “mmhm,” and she signs it. Ogag gets a picture in with Yulia, and while that was happening the woman was commenting on Ogag’s height. She was trying to tell Yulia that he was the right size for her. This made Yulia turn around and take a good look at him, and she broke into a big smile and laughed a little. Ogag gave Yulia the black A|X beanie while Lena wasn’t looking. I also asked Yulia if she would take a picture with me and she again said, “mmhm.” We were facing away from the building, looking at Ogag with the camera. She stood really close to me on my right side and leaned in. Too many thoughts were racing through my mind at that moment. I had to look at the camera, smile, tilt my head a little. I also kept thinking about how overwhelming this good scent was from Yulia. All the while I was trying to figure out where to put my right arm. It kept waving up and down behind her because I was indecisive about whether I should put my arm around her or not. (Sneaky suspicion now that Lena probably noticed this too.) Right before the picture snapped, I decided not to and dropped my arm. You can tell in my eyes that I looked somewhat bewildered, but my smile meant that I was really really happy. When Zashy was trying to get her picture taken, I again was clumsy and dropped the marker and watched it roll near Yulia’s feet. I quickly ducked in and picked up the pen, but I caught Yulia glancing at me. She must have been thinking what a klutz I am dropping things everywhere, hehe. I was also next to Zashy when she was showing Yulia the RS Spain magazine. When I saw the puzzled look on Yulia’s face and heard her ask “what’s this?” I was incredibly stunned and knew I had this blank, incredulous look on my face. However, Yulia didn’t get the chance to exam the magazine further because she was called back to enter the building. There was a moment of quiet awe. Through the glass doors, I was watching them walk to the elevators. Then suddenly it just hit everyone that it was such a rush, and that it happened! The guard came out and we thanked him gratefully. He commented something about true t.A.T.u. fans would wait for them to come back out, and we replied that it was a given and we would wait days if it was necessary. We grabbed all of our stuff and placed it in my car. The radio was turned up so we could hear the interview. During a non-interview interval, we decided to go get our pictures taken next to their car. When Lena and Yulia finally came out again, we were also again outside waiting for them. This time it was more difficult to get their attention because Yulia was already in the midst of a conversation it seems. Lena was still very quiet, and she had her hands on her pants (like she was holding them up to prevent stepping on them.) We followed them to their car, Yulia signed a few more things. Alerg was able to persuade Lena for a picture and Yulia joined in. I was the camera person this time around instead of Alerg, so I did not get to be as close to them, nor did I get anything else signed. I was quietly observing Lena and Yulia a lot of the time though, mainly Lena for some reason. I think it has to do with comfort level and how she is mellow like me. After the one photo, David put the girls’ possessions in the vehicle, and then Lena went inside followed by Yulia. Outside of the car, the woman was talking to them again and then the car started to leave. We said bye and goodnight to the car and watch it drive off. Then to our surprise, the car reverses and Yulia leans out of the window and yells something to the woman. Then the car drives off again, for sure this time. The woman, with David next to her, talked to us shortly before they walked away as well. It was about 10PM or so, and we hardly had any time to reminisce about what just occurred. We all had places to be so we went our separate ways, but arranged to meet again tomorrow morning. I was so excited and exhausted too, but I went clubbing for a bit with my friends, whose apartment I was staying at for that weekend.

Zashy - author ENJOY, cause I know I DID! Day One (May 29, 2003) I woke up a little earlier then normal on Thursday morning more excited then ever. I knew I would be heading down to LA too meet up with members of tatysite and tatu.us. Anyways, luckily I logged onto the site early enough to find out the girls would be making an appearance at KIIS fm...again. I freaked when I saw that and knew I had to leave earlier then planned too see them. So, of course. I called up Ogag and Yulia Roxx and figured out their plans..so I could meet up with them. I finished my packing and was on my way from San Diego to Burbank.The ride wasn’t too bad but, ..Seemed long when you have people driving sooo slow in front of you and your so anxious too see taty. Finally, after a good 2hrs or so, I realized I was so close to the KIISFM studio that I realized I had to go too the bathroom sooo incredibly bad. But the worse part was, I was stuck in traffic because apparently earlier that morning some dude decided to hold up an apartment building..and the police sprayed tear gas..and well the guy never came out. So, yes I am in traffic..having tinkle really really bad. I finally catch my exit. and stop at the nearest gas station, call up Ogag.. and tell him I am near and I'm going too the bathroom..after feeling better..I call up Ogag again..and ask him where the hell I go. .he tells me and I still get lost a good couple of times..that's me for ya.. Finally I arrive at the Studio at like 4:30 or 5pm, I can't really remember. Ogag had been there since 1pm and Yulia Roxx since 4pm. While waiting Ogag decided he would go up too the studios to find out more details. The Sec. didn't know much she pretty much told him to listen to the radio and that the interview would be a closed interview. I finally arrived, We chatted for a good hour or so, getting to know one and another, Yulia Roxx wrapped the presents for Both Lena & Yulia before we decided we were hungry so we headed to Subway to get something to munch on. We got what we wanted and headed back to KIISFM studios..for some more waiting. Ogag and I ate our subway, but midway through it got hella cold so I went to my car to get my sweater. Also, That’s pretty much when we got the clever idea that we should beg freaking JoJo or whomever we could to let us in the studios. So both Yulia Roxx and Ogag called the studios, but neither could get anyone to answer the phone. It was around 7pm, so JoJo had just gotten on the air. Me, I kept on walking back and forth, waiting and waiting. I went up too the security dude named Rob, to see if we could go inside and wait but the office had been closed. At first he invited us in so we could wait. Then he asked who we were waiting for and we told him. He’s like oh those two Russian Lesbians; I didn't know they were coming here again, because I hadn't heard anything. We just kinda looked at him all weird, like how could you not know. He's like it wasn't in our memo...blah blah blah. Then he tried to kick us out. Then I asked him a question. I said “the last time taty came..which door did they use too enter?” He's like “there are four different entrances, one right here where your at. One on the other side and two underground”..We all looked at each other like ahh shit, this isn't good. Then he proceed to kick us out. So we left feeling a bit down. Then I nagged Ogag to call again until we got through. SO he called..and long and behold after constantly dialing the # he got an answer..wooohoo right, NO...not good. It just meant more waiting. So he is on hold. I am sitting on the steps to the entrance..praying for something good to happen. Yulia Roxx, is pacing back and forth. We're all very impatient. Then, Ogag decides to go back to his car and chill their while on hold. I still reside on the steps, when the guard Rob comes outtoo talk with us about taty. Asking us a bunch a questions about the girls..and how come were the only ones their. Yulia Roxx and I look at each other like..we just fucking found out, so if we just heard the news not too many people know about it then. Not enough time for people to prepare..he's like oh...Then he leaves to go back inside. And I look at Yulia Roxx, like wtf, where’s Ogag..go see what’s up. So she leaves me with the girls Presents and her stuff to get autographed. Mind you I look funny too all the passer bys. I got some rather odd looks. Anyways, so she gone..and it seems like shes gone forever and I am like wtf...what the hell is happening why hasnt she come back. Long behold, I decide I am tired of sitting down, so I get up and head to Ogag car..and I look at yulia roxx's face and she is standing there..simply stunned. I am like girl, whats up. She tells me and I WIG OUT, I just can't seem to take the smile off my face. It was GLUED ON! Also after that news, I needed a cig, and you better believe I had one. *What happened* Ogag had gotten through, he talked to JoJo, too see what was up. Jojo, was going to see if he could hook us up. See if security would let us up stairs to go inside to studio or he would see if the girls would come down stairs after the interview to sign us some autographs. Then he took down Ogag's name and cell # and then put him back on hold!* So, here I am bouncing around..freaking out. Yulia Roxx looks pale and Ogag is just grinning while on hold. Then he (ogag) tells us his minutes are running out and we look at him like wtf..not way this isn't cool.So we take his car charger and his cell phone back to Yulia Roxx's car so JoJo could possibly have a better view of us. They both sit in the car, chilling while I have another smoke, Then, we attempt to call on Yulia Roxx phone to get more mins added to his phone in which we failed miserably a good 5times. Then Rob the security dude comes out again and down the stairs to see what’s up and how were doing. When I see him I freak and tell him the news. he's like “that’s fantastic”, blah blah I don’t really remember all he said. I was still glazed over from the news. Then I take out my Rolling Stones and UK Maxim and ask him which I should get signed..and he’s like “hmmm, I don’t know.” .then he’s like “I like the blue cover so get that one signed.”.so am like “ok”. Then he's like” why do you two girls like them, is it because of the Music or that their Lesbians?” I look at him like duh, you stupido its the music. He kinda looks at us like SUREEE, but anyways. Then he gets a call on his radioand has to go back inside. So we head back over to Ogag who still remains on hold. We chill there, and then Ogag turns on the radio when their is a mention of taty..and we freak.. *side note* We Freak a lot..ok..just a warning. Then we see this dude go up too the door to try and get inside that studio. And he is told he can't..so he comes down to see us. By this time Ogag is walking back and forth, I am over by the car with Yulia roxx.. Thinking of all the possibilities. When he comes down we at first think he is with taty, Because he just happened to be Russian, but then he introduces himself and he happens to be Alerg from tatu.us forum. It just so happens he just found out about taty being at the studios like at 6pm. So he busted his butt to get here. When we told him the news he got very excited. After all that, Ogag handed me his phone and began phoning up the phone company again to try and get more mins, by this time we had been on hold for an hour. Finally he got through, and we were safe from being disconnected. I was so excited that I took my sweater off and was no longer cold. Around 9pm we began to get more anxious, listening to radio..it was making us even more nervous them before cause it started to kick in that we would actually see them. I saw some dude arrive with a keyboard and were like they must be on their way here now if hes here. Seeing that, was like ohmygod this can't be happening, but then it kicked in that it could also be a dream. Me being the very impatient one, went back up too the steps and chilled their, Alerg came up there with me to talk some more while waiting. Around 9:20, I was standing by the door talking to him when I saw a black town car, stop, kinda make a u-turn and then park. I said to Alerg "I think that's them!" But then continued on with my conversation, not realizing what I just witnessed. Then Ogag and Yulia Roxx said "GUYS THATS THEM" and I looked again and was like shit..ohmygod..WOW this can't be happening. At this point my heart skipped a couple of beats and I got nervous and couldn't think straight. So we just watched them in awe, forgetting too take pictures and stuff. We just couldn't believe our eyes. They were so tiny, so cute, so wow, right infront of our eyes. Yulia got out of Left side of the car and walked around the front over to where Lena was. And then Lena got out of the Right side, I think the drive opened to door for her but I can really remember. They stood there for a second and talked. Then proceed to walk up the path towards us. I was on the end of the stairs. Ogag was a little away from the stairs, kinda on the pavement and Yulia Roxx was a little away from Ogag and Alerg was a little to the side of me on the stairs as well. They walked right near us, Yulia, Lena, some lady from Interscope I believe and David. They just kinda looked at us like aww but didn't say anything, neither did I or Ogag or Yulia Roxx. We all just stood their in shock. Unable to speak.. when I kinda nudged Alerg to say something. This is where him, being Russian came in handy. Luckily we had all talked about this before they arrived so he knew what to ask. So he asked them in Russian, if we could take a picture and get an autograph. Yulia responded back in Russian speaking fast as hell. Shit, when you people comment on her liking to talk when she gets the opportunity to speak Russian...she can talk and boy does she love to. Mind you, she is like talking to Alerg, while they are walking up the stairs to go inside. She says something..continues walking, stops turns around says something again..walks a little more, says something. And they reach the entrance into where they are going. This is where we all look at Alerg and we ask him what the hell she just said. She apparently said they can't take pictures right now because they are late, that they will do it after their interview. *Mind you that’s the short version* So we are all still stunned that the girls just walked by us and don’t move. We just look at them. They knock on the door for security to let them inside. Rob get up and goes over too the door. He looks at them and asks them what’s up. They are like were here for the interview, and he’s like do you have a pass. By this time Lena is inside, Yulia is outside the door and So is David and that woman. He's like I am sorry I can’t let you in unless you have a pass. This is when Yulia turned around and said to Alerg *They hate us here* and he responds back with * NO WE LOVE YOU HERE!* she kinda smiles. The security dude is still at the door ushering the Lena out when Yulia Roxx and I take the Opportunity to tell ROB that "THATS THEM, THATS TATY, THATS WHO WERE HERE TO SEE, THATS THEM" he goes "I know, I just can't let them in without a pass." By the way he was smiling when he said that..so this is when we took our opportunity to get what we came here for. Alerg then proceed to ask if we could take pictures and get autographs. And they agreed, but on one condition. We couldn't bug Lena, and only Yulia would be doing autographs and pictures. We were fine with that. So Yulia came down to us a bit. I just stood there and stared for a few minutes before I realized I was wasting precious time. I dropped my backpack and began digging for anything, I couldn't seem to remember what I wanted to get signed, I couldn't remember where my pen was, I couldn’t even remember to take pictures while I had the chance. Luckily Ogag and Yulia Roxx had enough sense to act on that. Ogag got the back of his magazine signed, I believe it was the Blender one, but I am not all that sure, then, Yulia Roxx got her CD signed, then Finally, I remember where I put my Germany Concert ticket and, I took it out and had her sign it. While she was signing it Ogag took a picture that sorta distracted her. She looked up at him like eh, bright flash you got there, and looked at me like wtf, so I said to him wait until she’s done. She finished and I simply kept staring at her. By this point Lena felt a little out of the action and came over to us. She stood right next too me. She didn't look so hot, she looked miserable as hell, very jet-lagged.. and like a sick little puppy. She had her hat and shades on, so you knew something was up. While standing sorta near me, Yulia Roxx handed Lena her present, Lena said thank you, smiled slightly and popped a squat. By this time, Ogag was having his picture taken with Yulia. he still had his phone in his hand on hold, with his little ear piece in..hehe quite funny. Yulia looked at him all weird and the interscope women comment on the two being the same height and we all chuckled. Yulia kinda smirked. Then, I believe Ogag handed Yulia the beanie he bought for her..the A/X one..she said thank youu, While still squating, Yulia Roxx asked Lena if she was tired and she said yes, I kinda jumped in and said you wanna go home and he just nodded,By the look on her face you could see she felt like shit, like she was about to hurl. Then she got back up and went over to the interscope women. I was sorta listening to their conversation when I heard the interscope women say..."see thats why you should eat Sushi," I kinda laughed..like, thats why I stay away from seafood! Then I turned my attention back to Yulia because I didn't wanna miss my opportunity to get a picture with her. When I turned around..Yulia Roxx was having her photo taken with Yulia..haha hella funny moment.. I end up in the picture looking all goofy. And Yulia Roxx handed Yulia her present, Then I said to Yulia "erm, can I have my picture with you now?" She nodded and said yea, I looked and her, then set my backpack down to get out my regular camera to get a regular picture. I handed my first camera to Alerg, and it didn't work seemed very odd, so I looked at Yulia again and said sorry, bent back down and got out my digital camera and handed it to Alerg, mind you she was watching me, so that didn't help.. and the bloody camera didn't work again...ugh I was like wtf dude. It should be working and Yulia sorta shrugged and I shrugged and turned around to Ogag and said dude take my picture please. He’s like alright. Yulia and I turned slightly, I leaned into Yulia a bit and he took it. Man, I felt huge next to her, so incredibly tiny, the both of them. I didn't believe it until I saw it with my own to eyes..wow they are small or maybe I just really tall! While all this was happening I was so incredibly close to Yulia, She smelt so amazingly good. I couldn't put my finger at it on the time what she smelt like but later on I did. She smelt like the Dove body wash, the crème kind or whatever it is. I just knew what it was cause the smell was so familiar. All in all, Yulia understood me and everyone else quite well.When I turned for a picture she simply turned too..it was so cute..she was just going with the flow. Ahh that was a great moment.. Then after that was over, she just stood their and looked at us. I was fumbling to try and get my Rolling Stones mag out (the SPAIN ONE). By this time she was closer too the door. I finally managed to get it out of my backpack and hand it too her. The look on her face was simply PRICELESS, It will never be forgotten. As I handed her the Rolling Stones mag to get signed..she looked at it, look and me. Then looked back at it. She pointed to it and said "What's this?" It was just the cutest thing..ohmygosh you should have seen her face. Then I responded back like. "It’s you!" Then she just held it in her hand for a moment examining it closely.Like bringing it up to her face, then away from her face. Then the stupid guy from KIISFM studio came down, and got them, she handed me back my mag and said "I look at, when done" and then they were ushered away. They waved, we said bye, and they were off into the elevator. After they were gone...we all FREAKED..Like HOLY SHIZNIZ that did not just happen. We just stood there motionless, then, Ogag like "hey there’s their car lets go get a picture of it." So we did that. I don’t think the driver in the car was too happy about that, but it was our moment. SO we didn’t really care. Once done with that. We went back to Yulia Roxx car to hear their interview that wasn't really much of an interview. WE blared NGGU when they played it at #4 and danced and sung and hollered. And of course after that I had to have another cig to recover. And talked about what we were going to do when they came back out. Have another game plan. Then Ogag had the bright idea of possibly getting a group shot of us with his tri-pod. We thought hey what the hell they might do it. Then I saw Rob coming out the door and ran up too him and said “I LOVE YOU MAN, I REALLY REALLY LOVE YOU" he just smiled. He got a kick out of us. I thanked him I don’t know how many times because he is the one that really helped us out! The interview was over, so then we rushed back out to where they would be coming out again. I was on the steps again.. we were all pretty much in the same spots as before. Then Rob saw us and kinda kicked us off the of the top patio and said we aren’t really suppose to be taking pictures there..we didn’t care to much. When they walked out the Interscope lady was talking too them. Alerg tried to say something to them but this time around DAVID was being a dick-wad, and interrupting everything that he said. He wasn't very pleasant, I guess he thought he was this shit or something. He was really pissing Alerg off. They kept on walkingto their car and finally they stopped, I heard the interscope lady talking about Hair and Makeup--etc so that tipped me off for tomorrow. When finished, they turned around and looked at us. I had my little red pen handy and my two mags, UK Maxim and Spain Rolling stones. I got Yulia to sign them both woohoo I was so estatic..and the interscope lady commented on us having International Mags, she was quite shocked. I just smiled and said it was worth it. After getting my mag signed, I said thanks, and the lost track of my red pen, I just kept snapping away with my camera to make sure I got pictures since I forgot to when they arrived. I got some cute ones..Stupido David ruined some good shots..*poo poo on him* After, they finished up with communicating with us a short time. Lena got into the towns car..and David leaned in to say something too her and Yulia followed behind her. They waved bye..and drove off.. so we thought. Then all of a sudden we see the Towns car.. reverse...and Yulia head is sticking out the window.. she saying something to the interscope lady.. it was so cute seeing it..*STUPID DAVID RUINED THAT PICTURE* and then..that was it..and they were off once again. WE watched them drive away, in shock, a sad moment seeing them go. Once they were gone we said thanks to the interscope lady and she said don’t thank me thank them, its all THEM..I was like still THANK YOU! Once the girls were gone..david and the interscope lady had a convo, and then they left. I couldn’t find my red pen. I was so mad, I wanted my pen back, and luckily she gave it back to Ogag so I have the memories of that as well. We chit chatted about what was up for tomorrow and I got Alerg’s number so we could figure things out for the next two days. We were at the KIISFM studios until about 10:15 before we left to go pick up K1n3t1k & Nunzilla still in a DAZE!

author: k1n3t1k Day 1: Thursday, May 29, 2003 After departing from my hometown, my layoff was in Chicago, Illinois. Here, I met up with child_of_darkness and we hung out for about 45 minutes. I enjoyed her company while I was waiting for my outgoing flight to prepare. On the way to Los Angeles, I the flight was very relaxing. The lights from below lit up the ground and it was very pretty to see. I watched ‘The Recruit’ on the flight to LA and enjoyed a box of Dots candy. :p My flight arrived in Los Angeles around 11:15PM PST. I then met up with o.G.A.g. and zashy at the airport. We became acquainted and made our way to the hotel to drop off our luggage and belongings. Next we found ourselves at the Greyhound bus station to pick up nunzilla. It’s one place I do not wish to return. J There are some pretty freaky people there! (besides nunzilla, of course) ;) Upon arriving to the hotel, one of the first things I unpack and setup is my laptop. (electronics have a certain priority over everything else) o.G.A.g. unloads the pictures he took at KIIS-FM onto my laptop to show nunzilla and I a slideshow. After about 15 photos, a picture of Yulia in a pink outfit flashes on the screen. I couldn’t believe it! It was pictures from earlier that evening! After o.G.A.g. and zashy explained to me the events that had taken place, I was in a state of utter awe. Needless to say, it was difficult to sleep that night. :D

Nunzilla - author Day -1 to Day 1: Well, I left Wed night on a Greyhound bus bound for LA. I wasn’t the best 28 hours I’ve spent in my life but it could have been worse. After long long hours of sleeping of and on, staring out the window and waiting in Greyhound stations for my connection, I reached the LA bus station. After a little while of waiting, k1n3t1k, Zashy, and Ogag pulled up and we drove to the Westin Airport Hotel. Later that night I found out why Zashy and ogag were acting all giddy but like I said before, that’s their story to tell...what an awesome story for that matter...After a while of jumping up and down in excitement and watching the Golden Stag concert on k1n’s laptop, I finally got to sleep.
