Joseph Vincent Fever

So I've just had the longest and busiest working day on a Saturday last night. From the moment I woke up it was all go go go. My phone was going off like as if I was at a telecommunications company or something. Receiving phone calls front left and center from the bosses making sure I've got everything in order prepared for the Joseph Vincent Meet & Greet that afternoon. Throughout the day I was so wrapped up with preparations that at one stage while I was on the phone with my work mate whom I’m generally just always rude to because we tend to always pick on each other in the office, and not knowingly while I was on the phone with him attending to business he needed to do something urgent so he quickly passed the phone over to someone in the meantime. A different voice took over and said "Hey Anna". Initially I thought my workmate just got a random friend nearby to annoy me while I waited for him to get back on the phone again. Knowing myself I tend to be fairly rude when the person on the other end of the line plays guessing games with you to guess who they are. Eventually becoming frustrated with the situation whenever I asked "Who's this?" The voice on the other end of the line eventually laughed and admitted “Haha, Sorry Anna, It’s Joe”. My workmate the dickhead had passed the phone over to Joseph Vincent and put me on speaker just to see how I would react because he knows how impatient I become and usually how nice I am when I talk to other people other than him on the phone haha. So no surprises he tried to make it out that I put on a sweet tone while I was chit chatting with Joseph, but only really I was just compensating and apologetic for being so rude to Joseph earlier during the 'guess who' haha... the douche framed me!

Well anyway the girls Felly, Liana and I were suppose to set out to have our long day together at the fish markets and so fourth but with work in the way, the girls decided to tag along with me to Mizuya Karaoke/Restaurant located in the City that afternoon to help me set up for Joseph Vincent's Meet & Greet. Although we were there early to set up I was so shocked to see a line already accumulating outside during the early hours before the Meet & Greet even took place... it was insane! I can only imagine how much worse it would be at a Justin Bieber Meet & Greet. There were girls and boys of all different ages all eager to see Joseph, but majority were younger adolescents. The next few long hours of the day was just spent making sure all went well with the meet & greet before heading to Zilver Chinese seafood restaurant for Dinner with Joseph Vincent once again along with my boss & a few workmates. With so little time after that it was straight to Bamboo for a sound check & getting ready. Joseph went back to his hotel after the sound check to do the same while it was my job later that night to pick up the winning contestants of the "Ultimate Joseph Vincent Competition" that we were running during the week where 8 lucky winners got the chance to ride in a Hummer limo with JV before being dropped off at the doorsteps of Bamboo at Martin Pl bar. So after meeting all the ladies at the pick up point, the girls had the chance to cruise in the hummer limo around the city whilst my workmate JD filmed a new segment for UrbanAgent TV. We settled in a few interviews with the ladies before it was time to pick up Joseph and co. and once again it was another cruise around town Earlier at dinner during the day I remember him just telling me how awkward the hummer limo ride was going to be or turn out haha, but to no surprise he's a real natural, with little help needed he managed the atmosphere well and no doubt the girls looked like they’ve enjoyed themselves.

It was just chaos as we got out of the hummer when it was finally time to get dropped off at Bamboo. Escorting him out and into the club felt like pure suicide having to pave my way through the screaming crowd’s. It was ridiculous and pure crazy! There were moments throughout the night when I was seriously crushed and had girls scream into my ears. But after all the hard work and when his performance was over, it was finally time to party. Finally good to see Joseph as well as his manager Tom let loose a little. We even popped over to Vanity at Verandah bar a little right after some time spent at Bamboo... but it was just as chaotic there with the fans as it was at Bamboo. The girls are absolutely crazy about him. I must say, it was definitely great fun having the chance to finally spend good partying time with them last night, especially after all "business" of the tour is finally over and done with. Joseph and his management were always awesome fun throughout the entire tour; there wasn’t a moment where I didn’t piss myself laughing around them. Will miss the boys now that they've just flew out back to the States again this morning, but will definitely keep in touch them and hopefully see them back in Aus sooner than expected :) These are the moments when I really love and appreciate my job even more; when you meet such amazing down to earth people like them!
