High School Musical 2 Premiere
So me, my cousin, and her friend got up at 4 and headed down to Downtown Disney! We got in line about 5:20 and were probably 70 people back. We got escorted to the barricades after the were put up at 7am!

This was a picture of the shirt I was wearing... we all had them but with different pictures of Zac on the front!

Then it was a game of waiting and trying to stay cool! We saw Tom Delonge who was there randomly with his family!

It started to get more and more crowded and everyone started to stand at 1:30... we still had 3 more hours till' arrivals too! The crowd was very unruly and very pushy, I would say worse than the Pirates Premiere crowd!
At about 3pm some people came over and said they just wanted to ask our crowd a few questions! So they started asking us just random HSM questions and asked a few people around us questions also. Then they said we are going to do a contest and one of you is going to win something (I was thinking a cd or something) they asked us a few more and then left. When they came back they asked me my name again and then said "How would you like to stand on the carpet with me and interview the celebrities as they arrive!" I seriously thought they were kidding and everyone around us was shocked. I started crying and my cousin and friend started crying and I said of course! They handed me a press packet with biographies on the stars and facts about the movie and told me they would be back for me in a little bit. I stood there reading through my press packed looking at the "cheat sheet" of stars pictures with their names on it! I was franticly trying to fix myself and trying to relax. Then about 4pm they came back and said "Are you ready" and handed me my Staff pass,http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/e...e150EDITED.jpg I got to walk down the "blue" carpet to the front and to the side the press was standing on. Everyone was VERY accomidating and so excited to see how I was going to do!! Next up ... the interviews!

Shannon, of course you are revered at my house from my 13 year old who thinks you are the COOLEST for meeting Zac Efron.
What a doll you are-they obviously had great taste in picking you to be the interviewer. YAY Shannon!!! I'm excited to hear all about it your awesome experience.

You don't criticize something if you aren't concerned for its survival. If it really is that bad, then yes, you leave. But if you think it could be better than what it is now, you say so.

Heck, after seeing Hairspray three times, I have no qualms about saying I wish I were 20 years younger and could kick Vanessa's booty.
Thanks for the report--waiting for the second half!

Great job Shannon! That's such a cool experience to have!
I'm surprised that Ashley Tisdale was that way and how come Vanessa didn't stop as everyone else did?
I'm looking forward to an HSM3, but the fame i think is going to a lot of thier heads.

Scoffey you are so cool for posting this. My little sister and I read this together and we were so jealous (in a good way of course). We were kind of bummed to hear Ashley wasn't as nice as she seemed, especially since in her Disney Channel interview she said she loves it when people come up to her (like she'd say otherwise though lol). Thank you so much for your detailed report and pictures. Well if they do a HSM3 premiere, we'll be sure to go, but hopefully it won't be as blazing hot as this last one was. Thanks for your report. You so totally rock!
