Snakes & Suits
Got to the venue about 430 and got in line. Nothing exciting. We saw Sean when we were waiting outside, but for some reason I just feel awkward talking to them before the show when I know they have a ton of stuff to do. So waited for like an hour and a half, then they let us in.
Evan Taubenfeld was up first. He was hilarious. I don't think he played any songs without stopping to tell a story or tell us to sing or something. His music was pretty good, too. Some kid yelled out "show us your tits!" and he lifted up his shirt with no hesitation and it was asm. Before he even played a song he was like "We're gonna pretend this is my encore. I'm gonna go over to this side of the stage and then you're gonna yell 'One more song! One more song!' and then I'll come over and I'll play." So we did that and he was all "I can't believe I got an encore! I'm only the opening act!" Some girl yelled out "I love you Evan!" and he was like "Will you marry me?" He wanted us to sing part of one of his songs, and the first time was really bad and he was like "How many people have seen Men In Black?" Then he did a flashy thing and was like "You're at an acoustic rock concert with the most handsome man in the world playing. You need to scream as loud as you can or the world is going to blow up." and that kind of made my life. He asked us what song he should play and someone said Womanizer and he played the chorus and it that was pretty funny.

Finally, William. Before he came on, everyone got as close as possible. We were just standing there one second, then everyone was just shoved forward randomly. It got me a little closer, so it was all good. Some girl asked him to show us his ass and he was just like "...I don't know...I don't really have one." They did the whole who's the best Batman thing and Sisky came out in a Batman mask said "I'm not wearing hockey pants" and was asm. Then he played harmonica for one song and left. When William asked who everyone's favorite Batman was, some kid in the back yelled out Bruce Willis and William was all "Yeah...he should've played Batman." And then when everyone was yelling out song titles he yelled Bruce Willis again and pretty much just yelled it constantly and William was just laughing and all "Yeah...Bruce Willis." Before Attention, William talked about how he worked at the Gap and lived with Sisky when they were writing Almost Here. So William came home one day and Sisky asked if he had written any songs and "I looked him in the eyes and I says...I says..." and then he went into the song. Before About A Girl, Williams was talking and Sisky came out and was playing random songs on his bass and he played SOAP a little bit and it was sweet.

We headed over to merch after that and talked to Tom first. Kelsey and Haley were telling him how much I obsess over them and he was like =O "Thank you so much!" And we talked about how we saw them in October and I was like "there's a lot more people tonight." And Tom said "and they're all here for us!" It was adorable. Then he signed next to Ryan and he was like "When did he do that?" and we were like "...in October" and he was all "Ooooh, with Mark Rose." Then we talked to Sean and he was like "I feel like I know you." and I was just all =O we saw you in October blah blah blah and he was all "Oh, yeah! Thanks so much for coming to see us again!" He was behind the merch booth and I was asked for a picture and he was all like "Yeah! I'll come around to the front." and he like srsly ran and was like creeping in the back of some girls getting their picture with Tom haha. He's just my favorite person ever. Then we went to talk to Evan and when we went over to him he just hugged Haley out of nowhere and we got pictures with him and stuff and it was cool. Then we went outside to see if we could talk to William and Sisky. There was a huge line by the bus so we just sat there and waited for a while. Then we saw Max come out so we went and talked to him for a little bit. William came out after about twenty minutes and said he had to go do family stuff or something but he loves us and he'll be back. Then he got in a little car that was waiting and Christine was in the backseat. So we started walking back to our car after that and they drove by us and he waved and blew us kisses and that made all of our lives. Freaking amazing night.
