Dear Drew;

Well, you said it yourself, you “like to be first”, so here’s a first from us here at VABN - You are so VanAshBreNique!

Above, ladies and gents, you will find our first “brush” with fame. Drew Seeley was dubbed the “man of the hour” by Radio Disney @ Laurel Park Place today, but in fact, it turned out to be a couple of hours. I walked into the mall, not really sure what to expect. I had my camera ready, texting feature on my phone armed and a couple things in my hand - ready, willing and able - all for Drew. What I didn’t plan on was a literal East High replica built into the place.On top of kids - tweens and smaller ones alike - there were performances by everyone and their brother. A local high school performed their rendition of Breaking Free and We’re All in This Together. They were okay - not John Jeffrey Martin & Arielle Jacobs Stage good - but good, all the same. Then, the boring thing came. Learning the dances for What Time Is It? The girl, I personally know, and she’s cute and knows what she’s doing but the whole learning thing was not what the audience wanted. But after that they got really excited - but not for Drew yet. Drew comes later. But for the Double Dutch Jump Rope team - whose name escapes me. And they were good! Damn, they were good. Talk about upstaging Corbin Bleu.

Okay, now comes the good part -I thought I had really blown my eardrums at the concert last January, but they just might have been blown here instead. It’s different when it’s right up close and you’re standing next to possibly the loudest screamers in the bunch (High School girls, mind you). And note to self - for any future signings that you may go to - stick to the original line you stand in. Security will try and change it ten times but in the end, the original line you were first standing in will ultimately be the one that you need to be in.

I had my stuff ready and got in line right behind this little girl who was the cutest thing ever. I had to ask her a few things about HSM though. And she claims, honestly, that Drew is her favorite! And when I asked her about Zac, she carefully replied, “he’s got a crooked smile.” Bless her heart though - she went up to Drew and quite possibly gave him the biggest cheek kiss ever.

So finally - MY TURN! Let me at him! I let him have his very own red “So VanAshBreNique” bracelet and he snapped it on his wrist first thing. I could tell he really appreciated it. I also had him sign two things - the Special People Magazine and the sign you see above. I honestly, didn’t get a chance to explain him the reasoning behind it, but I left “calling cards” and told him he was the first. To which he replied, “I like being first.” I didn’t get a chance to photograph it with him for the blog, but still - he signed it! That thing will be going around with me everywhere and if I have a chance to have every Wildcat sign it, it will be.

And just because it’s pretty, we need to see it again -
