So. Thursday. London. Dirty Dicks is down a flight of stairs, kinda evil, door at the bottom. I'm get down the stairs, walk through the door and get GLOMPED by a certain Mr Smith. I hadn't even seen the boy but he just grabs me and hugs me and kisses me and "it's good to see you again Cassie"
♥
I'd been having... emo moment before we went into London. Kinda along the lines of 'he only care about the fans wiht the money who can buy the vip tickets' :/
well he totally dissuaded me of that notion, didn't he?
I'm right at the front - duh - on the right hand side and having fun rocking ot with Hank. Jonah was sposed to have been there but couldnt make it cos of work, Riley rings him mid-gig.
Dicks is seated but its rows of benches. The boys decide the stage is boring, and come stand on the benches. So I've got Riley standing one side of me, between me and Dragon and Hank the other side and i'm like mg where the hell do i look cos my options are groin or ass. I was also glad I wasn't a few inches taller cos I would have been decapitated by geetar!
End up chatting to Hank after the gig, about driving, the lack of speed limit on the autobahns etc.
Friday the vibe was... off. I can't put my finger on it but... It wasn't quite the same. We leave pretty soon after the boys finish, do a 'hi/bye' explaining to them that I'm leaving London at like 5:30 tomorrow morning to get my ferry.
I meet Debbie at like 05:20 Saturday morning, we make awesome time down to Dover and get there over an hour early, and are able to sail early, for nothing. AND They'd noted my 'accessibility request' so we're parked right by a lfit. win. Um
drive drive drive drive drive drive drive. cologne. hotel. shower. change. find venue. park. meet friends. meet very cute belgian girl called genevieve drink a few pints of coke in quick succession.
Totally forgot that the Cologne venue was standing. no seats for llamas who left london at 05:30, pulled into Cologne at 16:00. Sit on edge of stage before show. Hug from Jonah from behind "Good to see you again Cassie" with a kiss. *melts* Stand for show, which seemed like a good idea for about 3 or 4 songs... then it was a fucking stupid painful idea. Mind, I had the best painkiller/antidepressant in the world barely a foot from me and i'd said it and he heard and impromptue song/rap about bottling him up... yeaah...
There was also, during Forget About Me, Riley got completely overcome and ended up just standing at the back of the stage, watching all like 40 of us, listening to us sing... he was so fucking choked up when he was saying how amazing it was to be on the other side of the world and we're all singing his songs back to him.
Shortest set of the tour in Cologne - kinda thankfully - chatted to the guys a little, joked with Jonah they were shit without him in London, Riley & Hank agreed to tell me off if i stood for another show lol
Frankfurt was awesome. I kinda literally knew everyone at that gig. Riley thought that was highly amusing. The whold "you're in another country and you know everyone" and I actually got to sit down and chat to Mike, Ricarda and Nina properly for the first time. I've been seeing them at gigs for like 5-6 years but never had a conversation! So that was kickass.
We sang Happy Birthday to Riley's mom.
I managed to flash Jonah. um. yeah. I bought a Lifer shirt. Changed into it. Um. I'd got it over my head, but not down over my boobs and Jonah walks past. *facepalm*
Riley was pimping the shirt out, he really loves that Lifer shirt bless him. Sofia (I think?) had just bought one, had it in her hand which was why he mentioned it, then points at me and says they look really good on. (The images frames the girls really well). He makes the same comment he'd been making all tour about how they'll sign the shirts and they'd really love it if we were wearing them at the time... I'd had just enough painkillers to be cheeky enough to ask.
Riley just grins and totally copped a feel while signing.
Jonah's face lit up and he was all OH HELL YEAH NOW WE'RE TALKING. Jonah also wasn't subtle about copping a feel.
Henri commented there was plenty of space for him to sign.
*snorts*
I said thank you to all the guys, they were agian so fucking chuffed i'd gone over to germany for them, that I keep coming out to see them. Hugs and kisses again as I left
<3
I fucking love those boys
and I kinda think they love me too
the life of riley,
