PANIC WEEKEND!
Epic times. So, I get on a greyhound at 7am, in tally by noon (which was so great to be in again! I need to visit more! Got to chat with my old roommate and see old friends, and that's always nice). And then two more of our friends decided to spontaneously come with us, yay! And it was very fitting that it was the same people going to see panic who saw them together almost exactly two years ago. I joked that we need to make it ritual that we see panic together every other november :)
After 4 hours on the bus, I still had 2 more go to to the concert, but I didn't mind, it was with friends :) We missed the cab, though :( But! It's okay cause we had to go back to get a license, which ended up playing a big part anyway! So, it was all meant to be. Katy just saw them too and I saw them in august and they came out later in the show anyway and I got to stand by alex for a few minutes (until zack pulled him away before I could get a pic), so it's all good.
We were in bleacher sits right over the floor, so not bad! And our friends got tickets at the door and they were still 3 rows ahead of ours, haha (but we didn't even sit in our real seats, anyway). Plain White T's were great, better than when I saw them last year, I enjoyed the set a lot more. We kept an eye on the merch area the whole night cause I got word that the cab might be hanging out there, but we never caught them :(
yay for all of us! (i'm in the glamour kills if you didn't knowww)
our nerd buddy that was taking notes on a clipboard during the show! We think he's prob with the show or something, but it's fun to think of a nerdy UF kid doing hmwrk at a show. :)
I have 1 million videos so I am linking them all, if you'd like to see them:
our time now.
Hate.
Then Dashboard! They were really great! I loved all the video backdrops they had, and they had a good set, and Chris is really cute and funny.
Vindicated.
Did I miss something about Dashboard doing a song for twilight? Cause they said, "so who here knows about Twilight?" Lots of screams. "Well this song is about that, it's called These Bones." "so lay with me, I could use the company." I like it. Really, why isn't this on the soundtrack?
So What. I lOVED THIS. Cab and plain white t's came out and everyone was high energy and it was just so fun.
Anyway more rockband bands (some killer living on a prayer moments) and paaanic time.
It was a good show - short, but good. I was way too excited for she's a handsome woman, so that video will not be posted, even though it sounded amazing. (I however, do not.)
Brendon on the drums was fantastic, definitely a highlight. Haha we kept trying to guess what song was next cause we were so good at calling it at only the opening guitars, and I lost multiple times. I was a little bummed for no time to dance or folkin around or nails for breakfast, but it's all good. It's panic, so <3
GUHHHH. LOVE THIS THANK YOU KATY. he had major sex hair the whole show.
SHOUT WAS SO EPIC.
uhhhhh

Shout - I was wayyy too excited for this. It is full of fangirlish screams and crappy filming. It was just everything I loved about the countless Shout videos I've watched in the last month all rolled in one. Epic. It made me so happy.
Afterwards, we were determined to meet them. We kept our eyes and ears open for anything, followed the trail of people, and found the buses. I then listened in to anything I could for information, and at one point the "host" guy (musical spring break, lol) came out and asked "did you have a good night?" and I promptly yelled out "it'd be better if we met panic!" and and all the little girls chorused "yeah!!!" look at me stirrin up the crowd.
Anyway, we teased Zack for being a killjoy, and my loud friend challenged him to a fight and zack told her to "bring it." And then the security people were getting pissy because we weren't leaving cause panic was "playing basketball." :( We had to give up eventually, but we fought a good fight. It'll happen one of these days :)
And that's panic weekend and I've had this tab open for four days now trying to get this organized, haha.
2 more entries till 500; I have epic things planned :D
