So when I found that Cimorelli was finally coming back to NYC, I had to go where ever it is they were going or doing (not in a stalker way, but I just really wanted to meet them). Then they announced they were doing a pizza hangout in NYC so I basically beg my parents and Grandmother to let me go and eventually said yes and it was definitely worth it. (Especially since I hung out with each girl for 20-30 minutes each for an hour and a half.) When I got the location two days before, I was so happy it was in Park Slope because it was literally twenty minutes away from my house.

My Dad was the one that took me by train and I was one of the first girls there since there were only fifteen people invited to this hang-out (for those who got tickets) and the pizzeria was tiny, but it was also cute. It was called Sweet Basil Pizzeria and Katherine told us that a fan’s parents owned the shop and told them to come there when they came to New York (and they actually have pretty good pizza.) 🙂 So that was pretty cool to hear.

The girls arrived around 12:10ish or so. I got a video of them entering and then my Dad left me alone and Christina told Mike (I was fangirling on the inside since she was legit standing two feet away from me), who is there older brother, (since there family was there with them as well) to go in order based on who purchased first or something like that and assign two or three people to each girl. I was told to go with Katherine and I was really excited since she would be the first Cimorelli girl I would be meeting.

What Christina told us as she came over towards Katherine and us, she said that we would be staying in our seats while the girls rotate which I thought was pretty cool. We also got extra time with the girls since they came a little late which was a pretty cool thing. I also had gotten an autograph book for them to sign so I can have their autographs so having that at the end was pretty cool.

I’m not going to explain everything we talked about with each girl because I don’t remember most of it but I could explain some of it in like simple terms. I was fangirling so much on the inside being able to finally talk to these girls in person instead of watching them on a computer screen since 2013 and not being able to talk to them. (lol)

Katherine was just talking to us about random things and about NYC and I asked what she liked the most about NYC but I kind of forgot what she replied to me with… whoops. She was so sweet and caring and tried to remember all of our names. There was me, a girl who was in high school but didn’t look like it cause she seemed older (even though she was really shy) and a girl with her Mom. I was basically one of the older ones besides Katherine at our table of course. And she was surprised when I told her I was 19 (since I don’t look that age at all) and that my birthday is near Lauren’s (which I already knew but still love the fact that we are only a year apart)

Then Christina shouted “Selfie time!” and we all got to take hugs and selfies with Katherine and she said “It was so nice to meet you!” (Me and Katherine below) 🙂

Then the next girls we met were Dani and Lauren. They were a team since they didn’t have that many tables at the pizzeria or they just wanted to meet fans together but either way it was adorable. Dani and Lauren went straight to eating pizza and it was so funny. I was going to ask Dani a question but for some reason I was so nervous but at least I got her to finally follow me on twitter. (I’ve been waiting for a Dani follow for sooooo long. All the other girls, and the band account, followed me on twitter except for Dani and Amy.) Lauren also told us that this was her first time eating pizza in a month (because she’s lactose intolerant apparently, which I didn’t even know) so she was very happy as she was eating her pizza. I think Dani was already on her third slice and it wasn’t even half way into the conversation haha. (But seriously, me though)

Dani asked us if we were working or in school. I told her I was in college and that I had just gotten a job at the NY Aquarium (since now its my first official paid job… yay!) and she was freaking out because she loves aquariums but hasn’t been to one in like, 6 years. At least that’s what she told me. I should’ve told her to come there just so I could see her and she could see the fish haha. Then Christina then shouted, “Selfies!” again after 15-20 minutes with Lauren and Dani and we took selfies together. Lauren is such an angel and she gives the best hugs <3.

Then after that, I was freaking out when Lisa started coming over. Lisa is my absolute queen and goddess and (secretly my favorite Cimorelli sister but don’t tell anyone I said that… haha) She was wearing her bright orange sweater and her hair looked so much cooler in person then it does through a screen. We basically talked mostly about the weather (cheesy, I know… she even said that) and her hair.

I asked her if she thought about changing hair colors again (since currently it was blonde and short and before in a recent video it was pink.) She thought about going back to pink or maybe even another color but she wasn’t sure yet. She told us that if you ever thought about cutting your hair short, you have to be really committed to it. It’s really easy to handle but you have to not question it at all to do it or else you would regret it. But obviously, she doesn’t regret it one bit and she looks amazing.

Then I finally got to hug and take a picture with my Queen and here it is below: (Also make-up on point.) Also this was the best selfie that I took with the girls because I was so nervous haha but with Lisa I was so chill but fangirling on the inside soooo much haha.

Then we met Amy and she was telling us about volunteering and how it changed her life. She said “You guys don’t mind if I talk about myself right? You can interrupt me at any point to ask questions or anything like that.” She said and I laughed, shaking my head because it was just so freaking cool to see these girls in person I really didn’t care what we talked about since I was just having a casual hang out that I will probably remember for the rest of my life. Also Amy is basically the same height as me which is pretty funny but I always knew that because she’s the smallest Cimorelli but short people are awesome so 🙂

Then the last person we met Christina and honestly she is the most inspirational person ever. She just made my day a thousand times better. She us to step out of our boundries since two out of three of us were shy, though I wasn’t as much as the girl sitting next to me, but she definitely made my day and even brightened up even more (because I was already meeting Cimorelli haha.) And she told us to buy their book (since they were actually selling merch which I didn’t realize until the end LOL), But it actually is inspirational and already read ten pages of it. Also below: here is a pic with me and Christina. 🙂Also a pic of all my autographs ❤

Also besides their book I got a really cool tee shirt and it was like $30 bucks in total including the book I think which was really cool. But if you ever have the chance to meet Cimorelli, I totally recommend doing it because they are the sweetest things and they are so nice and inspirational and just make your day a thousand times better. 🙂

If Cimorelli is reading this… PLEASE COME DO A SHOW IN NYC! I need to see you girls live! (haha) ❤ Love you guys and check out some more of my posts!
