[email protected] your story .I'll be happy to add
your story here too. :))
Me and my sister were
in Stockholm because we had been to the both Backstreet Boys
concerts on the 6th and 7th August. (These concerts were totally
amazing!) On the 8th august we were supposed to visit OKEJ-dagen
(OKEJ is a youth mag here in Sweden and every year they arrange a
day were a lot of artists do appearance. This day there were
going to be appearances for example of Westlife, Blumchen, Lou
Bega, 666, 21st Century Girls,A1 A-teens and Next Of Kin! Me and
My sister are not from Stockholm so we stayed at our cousins
house these days. We had arranged that we should meet my friend
Helena outside Hotel Sheraton ( this is almost the only place I
can find in Stockholm cause I have been there to wait for The
Backstreet Boys before) When we came to Sheraton we say about 5
girls who stood around some guys, but we were not sure of who the
boys were.Suddenly I saw my friend and she said that it was Next
Of Kin who stayed at Sheraton! We went to Nathan, Mark and
Keiran to get their autographs and to take some photos.
Everything was so relaxed and there were no guards or anything
with them, they just walked around and looked so calm and
satisfied. It seemed to me that the most popular guys were Mark
and Keiran without no doubt cause all the girls surrounded them
both, while Nathan seemed to almost be left out totally! He stood
alone behind me, my sister and my friend Helena! We noticed him
and asked for his autograph and he seemed to be happy for getting
a chance to write to us! I think he was SO nice and sweet! When
Mark and Keiran saw that Nathan did write to us, they came to us
and we asked for their signs to, they were all so nice! One thing
I really remembered was that when they had signed to us, THEY
said "Thank You" to US! I mean.. I'm used to say
"Thank You" when someone have signed to me!! *smile*
After this the guys started to walk towards
"Riddarholmen" were the OKEJ-Dagen would take place. It
was so cool to se them WALK there, just like every other person!
They had no guards or something, they just walked by their
selves.. Okay, I have to admit they not really did walk by their
selves, cause they had about 4-5 fans who really did their best
to help them to find the way to Riddarholmen! Me, my sister and
Helena thought that maybe we should start to go to Riddarholmen
to since we had to buy the tickets for the appearances. After
buying these we sat down a bit from the scene and waited for the
whole part to begin.. When it started we just waited for Next Of
Kin since we would really like to see them live since we had meet
them now! Nathan, Mark and Keiran did one song (24 Hours From
You) and people seemed to like them, But Next Of Kin is not
so well-known here in Sweden yet, so it was not any hysteric when
they did they appearance, but it was popular anyway! I think it
was a VERY great appearance they did and I really, really liked
it!! I have heard the song on radio about 2 times before and it
was even more better live!! After the OKEJ-Dagen we went to
Sheraton again, maybe we could meet them once again?? We really
hoped so anyway, but unfortunately they had already arrived to
the hotel and we did not think that they should came out again in
the night, but since both Westlife and A1 stayed at Sheraton to,
we decided to wait and see it we could see them! A1 had also
arrived to the hotel so now we waited for Westlife.. Now there
were many more fans outside the hotel (about 30-40) since
Westlife stayed there too (Westlife is getting to be very popular
in Sweden) After about 20 minutes a taxicab come up to the hotel,
and we noticed that it was Westlife who came! Now it was such a
chaos around the hotel and many of the girls just screamed for
the guys, Westlife had to run into the hotel with their coats
around their head. It was over in one minute and then it was calm
again. Later in the night Bryan from Westlife waived to us from
his opened window and he also throwed out some small messages to
us like "Swedish girls are so beautiful" and more..
Next day we decided to take some time to visit Stockholm Water
Festival, and the weather was really like made for a "Water
Festival" since the rain poured down all the day!! So
instead of walking around we stood most of the time at Sheraton
there is not could rain on us! We knowed that Next Of Kin and A1
still were left on the hotel (Westlife had left early in the
morning) After some hours did some hotelpersonals start to place
suitcases in a car
and then Next Of Kin came out, and ofcourse we thought that they
would leave now! We took some photos with them and I got a hug
from Nathan! But when they went into the hotel we went a bit
thoughtful.. we were so sure that they should leave, but instead
they walked into the hotel again.. and now A1 came out!! We got
their sings and took some photos and then we realised that it was
their suitcases in the car! They said goodbye to us and leaved..
After they had leaved someone saw Mark and Keiran (were was
Nathan?)sitting in the breakfastroom at the hotel and eating with
some fans!! Everyone just stared into the room but they did not
notice us.. After this they came out all three and now they
really were going to leave! Mark held hands with one girl (I am
not sure if this really was his girlfriend, but I think she was)
and then they said goodbye and gave us hugs and then they leaved!
I think this meetings were so cool, I mean they guys were so
totally nice and sweet and so natural to us!
I hope that they stay this way no matter how well known they will
ever been, cause the world needs more friendly and nice stars who
is nice to their fans! And if I should give Next Of Kin a opinion
to their way to act it should be 10 points of 10 possible!! Love
