Jonas Thread: They're What We Go To School For

Looking at this thread made me realize that I never really had a chance to tell many people about my CRAZY Jonas encounters this summer, owing to that fact that the majority of my friends only barely put up with my love for them. So anyway, I'd like to share :]

The first Jonas story of the summer was at their last of three concerts in Nassau Coliseum in NY. First of all, my older cousin got me and my other cousin the tickets as a surprise for being in her wedding party, which was awesome, but she warned that she got the tickets late and that the seats would be pretty bad.
She was right. We were DEAD LAST row with the ceiling dipping down in front of us so that you had to bend over completely to see the stage at all, and it just looked like little ants walking around.
Here's pictures of me showing our fabulous view and modeling the very back wall of Nassau Coliseum :]

I thought it was kinda funny, (I mean, VERY LAST row out of all the seats in an entire coliseum? What are the odds?!) but my cousin was understandably upset. So to try and brighten her mood, I started joking about how I had heard before that sometimes Jonas gave pity front row seats to people in the dead last row. I was obviously kidding, I mean, what would the odds of that be?

Not 5 minutes later, two women walk up the stairs towards us, so my cousin smiled and said hello to them, and they were like, "So, we have an extra ticket down there, would you 2 like to split it between you?" And I was like, "Wow, that's awesome and so nice of you, where is it?" And she replied, "Front row."
That's when my jaw dropped. A FREE FRONT ROW TICKET TO A JONAS CONCERT?! That's what dreams are made of! I couldn't believe it!

So me and my cousin alternated between the front row seat, which was at the center of the end of the right catwalk, where they happen to walk down to ALL THE TIME. It was absolutely fantastic and surreal, I felt like I should keep pinching myself to make sure it wasn't a dream. We made tons of eye contact and had an awesome time, it was indescribably amazing. And my cousin got some CRAZY pictures.

Oh, but it gets better.
Me and my cousin both love Honor Society and have been following them for over a year, so when we realized that we were stupid and didn't bring enough money for meet and greets (they were $20 each to pre-order their album and we only had $20 between the 2 of us) we were pretty upset.
But the angel lady who gave us the front row ticket was talking to my cousin about HS when they were performing, and when she explained our predicament, the lady GAVE HER $20! A complete stranger!
So of course my cousin was like, "No, I can't accept this, you're way too kind!" ANd the lady was just like, "No, I want to make this night extra special for you, take it!"
A front row ticket for free and a chance to meet HS? Oh, she made it EXTRA extra special.

So once the concert was over and we thanked the woman profusely, we went and met HS, but since the line was so long, we could only get their autographs and no picture, so we were pretty bummed.
But as we were waiting for our ride, we saw their tour bus and decided to go check it out. I guess they saw us hanging outside, because they came out to talk to us! They were all so sweet and funny and we got a pretty sweet picture :]

Basically, it was one of the best nights I've ever had. I'll do another post with some of the pictures.

WOW. You're lucky!
Free front row seats?
Free 20$?
A picture with HS, even when you thought you wouldn't get one?

Dude. That's insanely cool.

Today Nick was in DC talking about raising type 1 diabetes awareness.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 24 /PRNewswire/ -- Nick Jonas today made a passionate plea to an audience of journalists at the National Press Club asking them to raise more awareness about type 1 diabetes to motivate young people like him and their families to properly manage their condition. Nick, 16, is one of the youngest guests ever invited to speak at the Club. He talked about his own journey with diabetes, the charitable efforts of the Jonas Brothers' Change for the Children Foundation and why he embraces the role of diabetes ambassador.
Nick recounted that until he was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes almost four years ago, he didn't know anything about, or anybody else with, the condition. That has all since changed. With the love and support of his family, he has learned how to live with and manage his condition. He wrote the song, "A Little Bit Longer," to share that experience and inspire others. In 2007 Nick went public with his diabetes. The impact of that announcement and his subsequent work with the Bayer Diabetes Care NicksSimpleWins.com campaign has had far reaching global impact, helping to raise awareness of the disease. Much more needs to be done, he said, and he asked reporters to help.




"So many fans with diabetes from all over the world share their stories and thank me for being an inspiration to them," said Nick. "It's important for them to know that they motivate and inspire me as well. I'm lucky to have a great support system in my family as well as the tools I need to manage my diabetes properly. By speaking publicly about my experience I hope to increase diabetes awareness, encourage diabetes education and help fundraising for research and other programs for kids with diabetes. The more you report about diabetes, the more people will know," he told members of the press.
Nick's passion for helping other young people with diabetes by sharing his experience is just one of the ways he "gives back" to fans. He and his brothers, Kevin and Joe, started the Jonas Brothers' Change for the Children Foundation through which they donate funds to several causes including pediatric diabetes research, education and treatment.


"When Nick talks about diabetes, people listen. And until there is a cure, the greatest weapon against diabetes is increased awareness and knowing how to manage it," said Nancy Katz, head of North America for Bayer Diabetes Care. "That includes working with a health care professional for guidance on regular monitoring of blood sugar and A1C levels, proper diet and exercise and having a positive attitude to achieve every day simple wins."




Since the announcement of their partnership last year, Bayer and Nick have taken many steps to inspire young people with diabetes to achieve their simple wins: small, everyday victories for managing diabetes that can lead to big differences over time.
In recognition of his efforts in raising diabetes awareness over the past year, Bayer presented Nick with another $100,000 donation to the Jonas Brothers' Change for the Children Foundation to support its ongoing commitment to pediatric diabetes.




In August 2008, announcing the start of their partnership with Nick, Bayer presented the Jonas Brothers with a $100,000 donation for their foundation. In the interim, Nick and Bayer created special dog tags, like the one Nick wears featuring a lyric from his song, "A Little Bit Longer." Proceeds from the sales of the dog tags benefit the Jonas Brothers' Change for the Children Foundation. The dog tags are available through www.NicksSimpleWins.com for a donation of $5. Since the dog tag program launched in November 2008, it has raised an additional $75,000 for the Jonas Brothers' Change for the Children Foundation.


As this year marks the 40-year anniversary since Bayer introduced the first portable blood glucose meter, the company hopes that its ongoing partnership with Nick reinforces their commitment to diabetes management.
