This meet up was just absolutely insane. The Vamps tweeted out that they were doing a meet up and singing their new song/single acoustically (Rest Your Love) in the middle of Times Square. I had to beg my Dad to take me because he knows how much I love The Vamps and taken me to a few stuff of theirs before in the past. So he finally said yes. For a day in October, it was really hot. They said to meet by the big red stairs that over casts some parts of Time Square and they are not easy to miss. The problem was… there were thousands… and thousands… and THOUSANDS of people there just visiting Times Square and not expecting a British boy band to pop up out of no where. What really sucked is that I should’ve stayed on the ground and not the stairs because then I would’ve gotten closer to the boys during their performance.

People were somewhat annoyed, trying to get through the big crowd that was in the middle of Times Square. Before they performed though, they took selfies with everyone and I didn’t even bother to try to reach them because it was literally impossible. My Dad eventually let me go into the crowd as he followed behind me from a few feet away. I got to see from a decent distance but could only see Connor and James’s head, which I honestly didn’t mind. I couldn’t see Brad or Tristan at all since Brad was on the other side and Tristan was sitting on his drums.

They sang two acoustic songs, Wake Up and Somebody To You. You couldn’t really hear them that well but a lot of the crowd was singing along and it was somewhat quiet since everybody wanted to hear them sing. I was soooo close to being in James vlog but a really tall dude (Who I assume was their security guard) was blocking James view from seeing me.

But after the performances, they took selfies with everyone but Connor, Brad and Tristan ran off towards a hotel not to far from the spot but they either left James behind or James wanted to stay behind. He took pictures with fans and signed autographs, it was really sweet. I eventually got to James after pushing and shoving. I handed him my phone and asked if we can take a picture. I had to lean over at an awkward angle since there were so many people surrounding the poor guy. But he was so nice and after the picture, I literally had to shove through the crowd just to get out of there. I would’ve followed the boys to their hotel but so many fans were doing that already I didn’t want to seem rude. But I did achieve my goal at getting a selfie with at least one of the boys. I really hope they come back to NYC so I could see them again soon. 🙂
