The Justin Bieber concert flooded downtown Louisville with crowds of excited youngsters in sparkly outfits with handmade signs, which unfortunately could not be carried into the arena. The Bucket was filled into the steep seats with bubbly girls, more boys than I would have expected (they're smart -- they know where all the gals are), and their parents, in varying stages of resignation and bemusement.

I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.

Excitement building!

Countdown to Bieber!

Justin belts it out. Girls go wild.

Bieber in polka dot lights

The Scream

Bieber stylin'

Two Biebers!

Sad, abandoned posters outside the arena

I don't think they made these!

Blurry, but happy fans
