From the OC Register:
Word leaked out around 4 p.m. on the Internet that singer Nick Jonas would be coming to Downtown Disney to sing a few songs.
And, a few hours later, Jonas was singing in a free, surprise concert in the Disneyland Resort.
The concert was billed as a “Twitter-tour” to promote his newly released CD/DVD set, “Who I Am.”
Teens and some parents came from Riverside, Los Angeles and other areas, saying they had heard about it from a Twitter post that was making the Internet rounds from celebrity gossip blogger Perez Hilton.
“You wouldn’t think that a 17-year-old would come up with the words to his songs that he does,” said Ashley Miskofski, 24, of Placentia.
Ashley and her 15-year-old sister, Courtney, lined up at 5:15 p.m. to get a front row spot for the short concert. While the Twitter posts suggested he would show up as early as 5:30 p.m., Jonas finally appeared for three songs in front of the Studio Disney 365 store at 7:30 p.m.
By then there were more than 2,000 screaming, mainly teen-age fans standing in front of the store, mostly girls, pressed against the barricades to get a glimpse of their star.
