Friday, February 29 - 5:25PM
Well My brother and I are off to L.A. We have never been outside of Idaho and we are taking my 2004 Chevy Malibu to LA. That is exactly 770 miles away (15 hours). The trip took MUCH longer to get into LA but we were both so pumped to actually be heading to LA we were able to stay up the whole time. Stopping ONLY for gas and bathroom breaks.


Saturday, March 1 - 8:01AM
We finally got into LA, the scenic was amazing and I had never seen anything like it ever. It was simply amazing and so warm compared to Idaho. We got to our Hotel and we had NO idea check in was at 2:00PM... we had been Driving straight non-stop since 5:25PM the night before and we were ready to crash. The guy at the checkout was no help either. We couldn't stress enough how tired we were and all he offered was a pamplet to see CA. At this point we just wanted to take showers and clean up and SLEEP. We went out to our car and debated on what to do, We eventually decided to find a Radio Shack to buy a GPS because Mapquest SUCKED and we had no idea where anything was. We got one at a good price ($79.99) So we decided to find the El Capitan Theatre so we didn't have any problems later on, We found it in a breeze.


Saturday, March 1 - 2:00PM
We finally passed enough time and headed back to the hotel to get cleaned up and get some rest. The room was OK, it wasn't amazing and far to much was spent on what we got. HOWEVER we couldn't complain... we were in LA! Loren decided to take a nap while I got ready for the screening that night.


Saturday, March 1 - 6:45 PM
We met up with Ryan to get an early screening of the movie "College Road Trip". We got some cool Press kits, We were watching the movie with a bunch of big people from Entertainment Tonight, Access Hollywood, CNN, ABC, and more. We were such underdogs and people looked at us like "Who the heck are these kids?" If they only knew! After the movie was over it was late and Loren & I were so tired we didn't hang out with Ryan so we went back to the hotel to sleep the rest of the night.


Sunday, March 2 - 11:00AM
Today is the day we meet RAVEN-SYMONE!!! I couldn't stop thinking about it, it was amazing. Before that though Loren & I decided to take a look around LA and what it had. Everything is so much bigger in CA, it drove me crazy, the dollar stores have alarm systems and more then one cashier... our dollar stores are smaller then a McDonalds... crazy. We went to go shopping for some clothes for the premiere of the movie tomorrow.


Sunday, March 2 - 3:20PM
We met up with Ryan to head into the Four Seasons Hotel where the meeting would take place. This place was off the hook! It really was, I couldn't believe it. I wish we could have stayed in THAT hotel... We went over what we were going to say and how we would act and all that fun stuff. Unfortunately cameras were NOT allowed in the building so we couldn't get any footage of it. We took SEVERAL notes. (for the interview CLICK HERE). We got lots of exclusives and we really didn't want to leave without getting a picture. So we snatched her on the way out and she hugged us and took some pictures and had to leave. As fast as she came, she left just as fast so we had to wait until tomorrow to see her at the premiere. Ryan, Loren, and I decided to get some pizza after it was over and of course someone blew out my tire!! I was glad I had a spare donate tire to use. We drove around seeing if anyone could patch it and no one could so we had to buy a WHOLE new tire. We were livid because we were wasting so much money. But we were still pumped because we MET RAVEN-SYMONE!


Monday, March 3 - 4:00PM - Press Premiere Day!
Today is the day of the Premiere!! So excited we were set next to Sac TV which is a local channel based in LA and the guy was really funny and he seemed to have thought it was cool we were there. He met Raven during the first season of That's So Raven and said she was really nice. As the celebrities made their way now the carpet Raven finally stopped and said hi to us, she answered a couple questions and gave our site a shout out! She posed for some more pictures and we said goodbye. We were invited to the after party but we were so drained we declined (which I now regret). Then back to Idaho.


Overall this was the most amazing experience of my life, I am so grateful to Raven for making any time she gave to us, Disney for hooking us up, and raven's management for helping out. Whether or not I said some rude things I am truley happy I met Raven-Symone! I can only hope to meet her again in the future!
