Aww, great pic!

Brittany...were you there today? I think I might have seen you!

yup i was there today!

Hey everyone. I was there today along with Jen. I was in the Sox shirt, yes. So much to tell about this weekend but I just wanted to start off by sending a HUGE THANK YOU to some people...so here we go.
First of all, thank you to Ayla for making this weekend absolutely amazing...so sad to see it over
Thank you to Ayla's parents for just being so nice and accepting of Jen and I and always wanting to help out, the entire family really is great
To Jim and family, you all were amazing! Jen was so sad she didn't get to say bye to you Jim, haha. What a crazy weekend but from when we first got there and met you to when you left, you both were so nice and always helpful!
To everyone who worked at the merch booth throughout the weekend, thank you for putting up with my crazy running back and forth, money transactions and CD transactions, haha.
Wayne, it was great to finally meet you today! And hear some great stories
To everyone who bought a CD from me or took a sticker, thank you for helping out!
And to everyone who I'm forgetting, I'm sorry I'm so exhausted and it's time to finally get to sleep. But these two days have honestly felt like a week, in a good way of course!! Today and yesterday were absolutely amazing. Not sure if we got the right amount of singles sold but I can truly say that every single person who bought a single absolutely loved the show, loved the songs, and there was just such a great reaction from everyone! I think today at the 3 PM show, the entire place was PACKED! I guess it's because it wasn't Foreigner haha. So yeah, I was in the Red Sox shirt and I don't have many pictures...I don't think I took any yesterday actually and Jen took a couple today...to show who I was, I'll assume everyone who was there could recognize me. And yes, I'm one of those crazy obsessed red sox fans who are stat geeks, hahaha. But yeah, if anyone has any questions about anything about the show, I'd be happy to answer them!

Liz, it\'s so great to hear that things went so well. I wish I could have been there even more. I can\'t wait to hear the numbers and see if we get a boost from all the promo you guys helped with this weekend.

omg!! it sounded like an amazing weekend!!! i totally wish i could've been there, but thank you to everyone for all the info! i can't wait to see all the picts! (i just really hope now that ayla does another concert so then maybe i can see her...j/k. lol) well, i'm glad all you guys had fun!!

I heard a ton of different numbers for the amount of CDs sold so I guess we have to wait and find out. Hoping that the crazy promotion paid off! But yeah, this weekend was amazing. I can't seem to go to sleep yet, haha. I'd love to see anyones pictures if anyone took any!! And hey to everyone who saw me! haha.

I think I'll forever have "I Quit" stuck in my head. Such a great song of course but it's been stuck in my head all weekend!

well, i'm glad you had a great weekend!! wish i could've enjoyed it with you . (i'm not surprised you can't get to sleep yet...i know i probably wouldn't be able to either!!)

Yeah, as exhausted as I am, I know that once I go to sleep, the weekend will be over and I'll have school tomorrow. So sad it's over...

ya, that's kinda what it was like when i got to meet her. but i'm sure you'll have memories that'll last foreva !! lol

WOW!!!!
I am amazed at all the new activity here!!! WELCOME all new comers!
just got home from three long days at BIG E!!!!
the first thing I have to say is ...Liz, and Jen you two are incredible!!!
these two girls worked and worked, they sold an incredible amount of CD\'s, everytime I turned around they were coming back to the booth with cash in hand, asking for more CD\'s. I truly was amazed at what you two accomplished. Thank-You!!!! I never saw anything but smiles on these two beautiful girls faces!

All I can tell everyone is this..Ayla put on an amazing show..Everytime!!!!!
to full capacity crowds...going up against big name (free) acts, Ayla still filled all seats, and then some at every show!!!
performing for an estimated 6- 10 thousand people. over three days.
today the lines stretched around the comcast theatre where she performed as people waited it out for over an hour and a half for a chance to meet Ayla and get an autograph! yesterday was the same at each show. Friday was a little slower, but the weather was not the best, and it was a school day. still incredible though.
When I left, about 7 pm, (could not stay for the last show) there was about one and a half boxes of CD\'s left.....(about 550- 650 cds)
Ayla sold appx. 1,900 copies of her double single. this was before the 8 pm show sun. night. Wayne is going to call me later and let me know where they ended up.
Wayne also brought with him a wonderful woman named Antoinette, she was from soundscan! she was completely amazed!!! at the show, and the amount of sales she witnessed, as well as the line stretched out around the park.
Completely amazing!! I was so proud of Ayla, she sang wonderfully!
she was sad, as I left she said, \"this going to be hard leaving this, it\'s been so great, back to school\"
All in all, I left with a complete feeling of success!!!!
the charts are great and all, but I felt happy for Ayla, she did so incredibly well, and no doubt, built up her fan base by thousands, and thousands of people!
I am sure she will make the (sales) charts. / top 100 is a combo of sales and radio play, sales is amount of sales within a specific time frame, ayla has done this for sure!! It\'s still Billboard!!!!

Thanks to everyone who was there, and to all you folks here on her site!!!
Bittany, I saw you today, thats my daughter, Arielle in the background of the pic you posted!!,(workin in the booth!!) glad you had fun, and welcome...

big round of applause for Liz, and Jen.....yaaaaaaaaaay!!!!!!!

we\'ll keep everyone posted....Ayla\'s songs movin up on idolwaves.....yes!!!
thanks k-dog...

take care everyone

jim

Great news Jim! Thanks for sharing. I really wish I could have been there. Great job Liz & Jen & everyone who helped out. I can\'t wait to see the charts and see how well Ayla debuts. Sounds like she\'ll be ahead of Kat at least, which is an accomplishment.

jim!!! its jen i was really sad i didnt get to say bye haha thank you SOOO much for everything this weekend was so awesome!!! I'll have to tell you about last nights show...some interesting things happened...

just a thank you to ayla & everyone who was at the big e! it was such an awesome experience, and i loved promoting and getting little kids to be fans! as well as teenagers and adults! i only took a few pictures because i was running around selling CDs...but the last show i had a bad migrane so i tried to take some pictures haha ill write a review later but its 5:30 AM haha

I think it was the last show (well before the last show) that we were being referred to as Liz and Jen and not as "twins" anymore, haha. But I was so sad to see the weekend end. Like Ayla said, back to school. Obviously it's completely different for her but this weekend was so great and I got to meet so many amazing and talented people. So thank you to everyone!

The one down side of this is that I now smell like a mix of horses, cigarettes, and greasy food. Thats what you get I guess from walking around the Big E, haha.

She was so great and the day her CD comes out is my Birthday can't wait fot it to come out.

thanks wayne for the info!! sounds like things went great as far as the sales go! i'm really happy for her!

i was at the Big E on Saturday running around with Jen and Liz at the night show! i was actually sitting down watching for the afternoon show. but i havent stopped listening to the single since i got back, and ive had the songs stuck in my head 24/7!
but i had such a great time on Saturday, and Ayla and family, and everyone who was there was so nice! ...and i was was the one who bumped into Ayla earlier in the day at the dollar store stand!

Welcome Jamie, good to see you here!
Love the bump into Ayla story.. only Jamie.. only Jamie!!! lol!

jamieeee!!! your story just reminded me - she was wearing the sunglasses haha i was singing i quit and i saw her walk in and shes like "oh hey guyss!" umm talk about akward...
