Our Adventure with the Backstreet Boys
(That They Were not Aware of)
(As told by Slim)
It all started at a Backstreet Boys concert that took place in Delaware. Slick and I were watching their smooth moves and admiring their clothing (or lack thereof).


Ooooh yeeeaah. Anyway, by the end of the concert we were impressed, yet we still longed for more. 2 and a half hours was certainly not enough. While trying to come up with a solution, we noticed them getting on their tour bus.
We grabbed our cameras, jumped in our blue BMW convertible with CD player, Dolby Digital surround sound, night visionsheild, and a jelly bean dispenser and followed them for a little while. (a week)
What we discovered over this time may shock and amaze you. So bare with us as we reveal our adventures.

Day 01-Setting up
After the concert the boys are undoubtedly hungry, and we follow their bus as it drives into the nearest McDonalds. We wait while they go in (so as not to arouse suspicion) and examine their bus. I notice a window slighty rolled down, and a Backstreet Backpack laying on the seat. I send Slick to her Uncle  Micah's house, which happens to be just down the street, so she can borrow one of his mini cams while I enter the restaurant. Inside, I spot them just getting their food at the counter.

Brian displays his selection, as if saying "cheers".
Outside I notice Slick returning from her Uncle's. She walks back over to the van with a trunk full of gadjets. She rumages around in it and then produces a small object. I can't see it from where I'm standing, but she later tells me that it's a video camera. She lowers it in the van, on the backpack, and then turns to give me the "thumbs up" sign. I send it back, grab some fries, and go out to wait with Slick until they are ready to leave. (You wouldn't believe how much they ate!)
They get out and pile back into the van. After a quick ride it stops at Citadel Inn. We jump out and grab our cameras, hoping for a nice picture opportunity. (no such oppertunity occured)
After they walk out of our view, we rush back to the car and switch over to the video cam. Luckily the backpack was brought in with them and we watch it bobbing along down a hallway. (It seems to be aimed at a Backstreet crotch, but the pictures were too dark so we're not gonna put them up.) They arrive in their room and the backpack is set on the bed.

Here's a still:

  They change (in another room, damn!) and head out. The audio quality isn't so great, but it sounds like they're going for a swim. Nick packs his stuff into "our" backpack and heads for the changing room(!). He drops it in a corner, and we lose our visuel. (/!) We can still hear them talking though and Nick is saying he's not leaving his backpack in there for someone to steal. We ditch the camera, jump out of the car, and rush to the hotel's swimming pool. Fortunately for us, they are down there playing around in the hot tub. We were too shy to talk to them, so we just sat on the edge of the pool while our backpack camera snapped this photo. Our heads are cut off, but you can still see us in the background. I'm in the red, Slick's in the blue.

It's getting late now, and they head up for bed. They watch some TV for a while, but there was only one picture worth putting up [this one] Notice that Nick's leg is resting on everyone's laps. Why? [you ask] I dunno, cause I say so. It just strikes me as odd.

There was also the one time while they were watching "Whose Line Is It Anyway?" when Howie laughed so hard coke came out of his nose, but who really wants to see that, anyway?

Day 02-The awards
This day was spent ENTIRELY following them around as they recieved award after award. I mean, we never even had time to stop and eat!

We got a little worried with this one, when it seemed that AJ might have recognized us:
And here it seems that he's even more sure of himself. I accidentally attracted some attention to myself by tripping over a trash can and Slick snapped this picture just as AJ was checking me out.

Then again here (we were getting klutzy):

Day 3-
Today they are performing on DETV (Delaware Entertainment TV)
and we have the pleasure of viewing it from the greenroom's two-way mirror.The guys start mocking AJ and saying there's something in his nose. He walks over to the mirror and- oh dear God- it looks like he's going for it! Slick turns away in utter disgusts, shocked that her man would do such a horribly awful thing.
However I took advantage of this oppertunity to capture this precious moment on film forever.
Warning: this picture is disgustingly explicit and therefore should not be viewed by anyone!

After their performance (which we missed because we were stuck in the greenroom) we follow them to a basketball game where they (along with N'SYNC) were the stars of game!

AJ gets kinda pissed at Nick and at one point sends him sprawling across the floor, as shown here:

And then here, from a more comical view:

Nick's team won, as he so obvously displays, here, with what we believe is some sort of alien victory dance. Luckily for me, the camera had just the right angle!

By now the little tikes are pretty tuckered out and they head home for a relaxing evening.

Day 04
Being a BSB is tough stuff! The boys get chased all over the place, never getting a moments peace! Here they're shown running like hell, with hundreds of screaming girls hot in their persuit (what a bunch of obsessed little girls!!) (excuse the black line on the pictures, my camera strap was in the way)

The boys become so frustrated that they hurl themselves off the building!!
Luckily for them there happened to be a huge balloon at the bottom. (I know, we're just as amazed as you are!)

The boys finally escape and high tail it to their hotel. Then, as a HUGE bonus, we're able to get in the elevator with them

It was a tight squeeze, but we're not complaining! Although it sort of looked like Howie wanted to eat us or something . . .
Now you may think that being a Backstreet Boy pays well, but you are sadly mistaken. As Nick is demonstrating here, the boys are often forced to take up other part time jobs in order to pay the bills. (mouahah) (He's a porcupine) (. . . . porky!)

Day 05
Kevin recognizes us from the elevator, and makes a grab for our camera. I pull away just in time and we run off into the fog of the night.

We meet up with the boys once more before there's a restraining order put out on us, but AJ offers to put an end to us right then and there. Howie (being the wuss that he is) pleads with us to leave them alone. Kevin was stoned at the time and doesn't even remember this picture being taken. Nick, as usual, just wants to look good for the picture, but Brian asked if we'd like to play a little game. "Pick a hand. You pick the one with the stick in it, we beat you with it. You pick the other hand, we give you a 10 second head start . . . then we beat you with it." he said.

But of course we got away, otherwise we'd be writing this from the basement that they used to keep us in - but we've said too much already.
