The following photos were taken by my thirteen year old daughter, Bianca, from the arena floor during the filming of the JB concerts on July 13 and 14. Be advised some photos are blurry due to uncontrollable jumping, dancing, screaming, and pure delight at the close sight of her idols.

By the way, my teenager's behavior, according to Dr. Brizendine in an interview with Jason Gay in the upcoming issue of Rolling Stone magazine featuring the Jonas Brothers, has a biological explanation: "The neuropsychiatrist Dr. Louann Brizendine, author of the bestseller The Female Brain, says the release of dopamine in a screaming teenage girl's brain upon seeing her pop idols is like 'injecting heroin.' Being with other screaming girls, she says, only makes the effect wilder."

"There's a thing in biology we call synchrony," Brizendine says. "Basically, one girl affects another affects another, and it becomes a domino effect building up to that level of hysteria. They are getting all these brain hits of dopamine, and also oxytocin, which is a love-and-bonding hormone. Teenage girls have so much estrogen, which just catapults the level of dopamine and oxytocin in the brain, creating this sort of ecstatic rush in themselves and others. It truly is a state of ecstatic love."

Thank goodness I read this. I thought my daughter was just delusional!
