Jonas Brothers at my Starbucks

Jonas Brothers give fans an Atlanta surprise

Mega pop stars The Jonas Brothers surprised hundreds of screaming fans at an Atlanta area movie theater Saturday evening.
The Disney stars are spending the weekend swooping into theaters in several cities for the opening of their new movie, “The Jonas Brothers: 3D Experience.” Locally, that theater was The Regal Hollywood 24 in Chamblee, where the Kevin, Joe and Nick Jonas quietly made their way through the back for a secret press conference in an adjoining theater about 6 p.m.
As moviegoers (mostly teens, youngsters and parents) lined up to enter the theater next door, many didn’t appear to suspect that anything special was brewing behind the scenes. Even as they made their way into the theater, only a few seemed to take note of the reporters and TV crews.
The trio, known for making surprise appearances, called their cross-country visits a “surprise theater invasion.”
“This idea came to mind and we thought about it,” Nick Jonas told reporters moments before the group entered the theater. “We could drop in on select cities and surprise fans, even if it’s an acoustic song or just a hello.”
And hello seemed to be more than okay for about 300 Atlanta fans who went crazy, screaming and jumping up and down (a few even cried), when the stars popped in from a back door near the stage. The brothers stayed for less than two minutes, basically just saying hi and thanking everyone for coming. There were more fans to visit on the 6,000 mile weekend invasion.
The brothers began their Saturday with a 10 a.m. visit to a theater in White Plains, N.Y. Traveling by private jet, courtesy of Marquis Jets, the teen heart throbs then made their way to Charlotte, before stopping in Atlanta. They also hit Regal Medlock in Duluth for a private screening and performed two songs - “SOS” and “Burning Up” at the theater. They ended the day at the Main Event in Grapvine, Texas, near Dallas, which they now call home. More surprise visits are set for Sunday.
But even after the Jonases were long gone from Atlanta, screams could be heard throughout the concert movie, which lasted an hour and 16 minutes. At times, several teenagers and tweens stood up from the seats, dancing and singing along to the movie. It was a “concert,” too, after all.

My daughter and I were given passes for the private showing at Regal on Medlock. It was truly a memorable experience. One that she will never forget.

Scorpion in my bathroom
Yuck!!! Last year during the drought we had the great experience of hosting scorpions as house guest. They are small black and evil looking. This year however we are not yet in a drought and we have aquired one already. I am not a girly girl, just ask anyone in my family, but these (Devils, as they are rightfully called) scare me to death. OK , I called in the exterminators - the cat and dog are of no use - I feel them in my shoes already. UCK!!!

Weekend In Kingsport
I traveled to Kingsport this weekend and I am so thankful that I did. I got in around 9:30, my mom was already at my brothers house babysitting. I talked to my aunt on the way and she agreed to meet me there.
We had no idea what we were in for. Syd and Ethan had us dancing, singing and crying sometimes. I laughed so hard at those crazy kids, they are so full of talent and energy that they don't even know how sore that my legs are still. I got to spend the next day getting a make over by Sydney and served coffee by my favorite baristas that night ( we did Starbucks skits). I miss you guys and can't wait to see you again.
I love you.

Learning to Love and Trust
As most of you know I moved to Atlanta in 2001 on a whim. I just felt overwhelmed with my life and the people that I had let into my life and I need to go somewhere to start over. This is not the first journey that I have made on a whim but definitely the longest one so far. I moved to Tampa, FL in 1991 and started over there. I have learned a few things by making these decisions that some called impulsive. I can survive any where in this world but not without costs. I have made friends that are dear to me and I think of them as family but we all know that there is no place like home. I want to thank all of my family for being there for me (Jo and Mom, you two know what I'm talking about) I know that no matter what, I have a home in Tn. if I need one. I love all of you and miss you.
When I first moved to Atlanta I was miserable. The traffic is horrible the people are strange there were so many different cultures, some that I had never had a thought of becoming acquainted with.
I started working at the second busiest Starbucks in Metro Atlanta in 2001 and I have to tell you that the experiences that I have had with this company are worth their weight in gold. I have learned to accept people just as they are (as long as they are not mean; I don't accept that from any sector, it's just not needed) I have worked with such a diverse group of people and learned something good about each of them, became friends with most of them, and have great respect for all of them.
I have meet a few celebrities while working at Starbucks, such as: Gary and Gail Rosington of the Lynard Skynard band, Whitney Houston and her daughter Chelsie, Ralph Sampson( NBA retired - Houston ), Otis Nixon, Keisha Cole, and my favorite Ana Maria, this lady is some sort of awesome, she ran for president of Brazil a few years ago and had to leave the country because of death threats made on her family. I admire her self poise and intellect so much and wonder why she would choose me as a friend.
That's all for tonight. God Bless.
