8th April - MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE.
yes..so twas the day of my chemical romance..much excitement! The train down there was rather mellow for once. We were just listening to music and getting hyper! When we got to manchester.. we met matt and mush. As we looked around, aside from the millions of scene kids, there was about 50 gerard look-alikes... one of which was a girl. odd. We couldn't be doing with starting to queue yet, so we went to mcdonalds. Matt and Mush may aswell live on a farm, basically it's very far away and they hadn't even considered about how to get home. We spent about half an hour pissing ourselves about how they could get home..as they had like £20 between them. we came up with the idea of them swimming across the sea from fleetwood to knott end.. or asking for a female taxi driver and offering sexual favours and such. It provided us with muchas comedy. We suspected that the mcdonalds workers were becoming a bit suspicious about the fact we had been in there an hour and brought our own food.. so we decided to go back to the academy. Luckily, a kind friend let us in the queue.. so we didn't have to go all the way to the back. We went and signed a mailing list and got free packets of mcr heart sweeties <3. They are ace. We were talking about the leeds fest..wooohoo and how we cannot wait and then we eventually got let in.
The support band came on.. Open Hand. They had extremely long instrumentals.. it seemed like their songs were never gonna start. Some of their first songs were boring but towards the end some of their songs were quite good. Anyways, after a bit of a wait.. the lights went out.. the pits began to open.. and mcr came on stage.. in their armor gear!!!! They opened with Give 'Em Hell Kid.. and everyone went mental immediately!! Other songs they played were: Cemetry Drive, To The End, Honey This Mirror Isn't Big Enough For The Two Of Us, You Know What They Do To Guys Like Us In Prison, The Ghost Of You, Head First For Halos, Thank You For The Venom, Our Lady Of Sorrows, I Never Told You What I Do For A Living, I'm Not Okay and Helena.
The set was absolutely amazing, they were really interactive with the fans and just great. The pits were mental, in my opinion. I nearly broke my jaw at one point when i got sodomised by lots of tall boys... eeep. I wished the set was longer, it was a little short.. but saying that i would have probably died if i had of been in those pits any longer!
When we got to the train station we had a bit of a wait, kerry and mush passed some time by playing the poke game.. it must have been a record they were playing for aaaages, and we were also thinking of all the types of porn! Apparantly.. there is troll porn, who would of that eh!
On the train, Laura ended up sitting with Dodgy guy number one.... who sang american idiot to her, asked her what drugs she had taken, offered her weed and questioned why she hadn't consumed any alcohol. He also got offended when he asked Laura how old she thought he was.. she said 30.. apparantly he was 22.. he was strange.
Then Dodgy guy number two got on the train.. he was quite the bell end. He asked us why we were all in black.. when we clearly weren't and asked is if we didn't have enough money to be goths. He was then asking us why we all had our hoods up [we actually had them up because a) we were cold and b) we wanted to be 'scene.'] Then asked me if i had black converse because i couldn't afford pink ones... yyyeah.
Next, Dodgy guy number three appeared.. Nigel.. he was the epitome of dodgy. He was a druggie and his hands were shaking like mad. He kept asking Laura her name.. and still manageed to call her Katie. He was then asking her where she lived and telling her his life story! At one point he asked her if he could share a taxi with us :/. He was showing us his 'new' mobile phone.. then stared speaking to me, asking me my name and asking to see my smobile...which i thought he was gonna steal. Luckily, he didn't. Laura had had to say we all lived in fleetwood [even though we didn't] so she could say our taxi was full.. and then he started asking Matt questions about fleetwood! He had no idea.. and just kept saying 'yep' to everything... was rather funny!
In conclusion to this entry:
* MCR were amazing and i hope i get to see them again sometime soon. frank and gerard looked incredibly shexay.
* We only EVER meet dodgy people on trains. Of all the cool people we could have got talking to.. nope we get druggies. Tis the story of my life really... which incase you were wondering apart from my friends and the cool gigs i go to.. is wank.
