Friday October 9, 2009 was the first annual BOM beats and lyrics event. Preparing for this event was lots of fun; we passed out a lot of flyers to teen all around the Bay Area to encourage teens to come to our event. During these days we were counting down, arriving there was crazy because the place is so big and we didn’t know which side to be on. So for about 30 minutes we were on the wrong side and then we later found out that we had to go all the way around getting in.
Once inside we walked up two sets of stairs and walked by all the class rooms and walked down another two sets of stairs. Walking through the double doors, we saw black floors, black stage, black curtains, and black chairs. Taking a seat I began to visualize the event taking place and all of the people that attended. As time passed I began to see all of our decorations on the wall and all the people coming in and being friendly and taking pictures with the BOM sign. The event was overall the best thing I’ve been to. I’ve never saw so many happy people in one place and having so much fun. About time the event started it was over, having fun sure do make time fly. This was one of the best events BOM has ever had.
