As thousands of tween-age girls screamed at the sight of young pop star Justin Bieber on the Comcast Arena stage on Tuesday night, their parents relaxed and waited in the peace and quiet of the parents lounge at the Everett Events Center. About 150 parents who drove their kids to the concert passed the time by chilling out, chatting with each other, working on laptops, and watching TV in the parents lounge.

If you are between the ages of 9 and 12, or if you are the parent of a tweener, then you already know that Justin Bieber is performing at Comcast Arena next month. For the rest of us whom would rather stay home that night and clean lint between our toes rather than go to the aforementioned event, also do not know that 15-year old Mercury Records/Teen Island recording artist Jessica Jarrell will be the opening act for Justin Bieber’s summer tour. Jarrell is an up and coming talent, known to fans of the Bieb for the song “Overboard”, a duet with Bieber from his album, My World 2.0. However we do wish the best to the kids and hope that they have fun at the concert. Make sure you text and tweet everyone the news! LOL! Bieber and Jarrell perform Tuesday, July 13 at Comcast Arena.
