In short, it was pretty much one of the best days ever.

Ok, the rundown:
1. Got in right in time to catch you me and everyone we know. They were so amazing live, it was a great way to start the day.
2. Then, being sort of a creeper, I spotted Jac Vanek's tent and decided to look around. I wasn't planning on buying anything, until I saw a "Gryffindor" bracelet and pretty much bought it on the spot. idc what anyone says, I think she's nice. We had a little Harry Potter chat and she was very pleasant.
3. Then we had about 20 mins until ATL so we got a good spot but it was so bloody hot at this point. The set was awesommeeee though, it's my fave ATL show thus far. Somehow Jess and I found ourselves in the middle of a circle pit, I think the girl next to her pushed her in. I was laughing but she got the hell out of there and we moved to stand way on the side. Then we had this big ol girl thinking she could crowdsurf and fell right on me and Jess. (oh yeah, and before ATL we almost got banded to watch from backstage. We were in the right place at the right time, I just wasn't quick enough on my feet.)
4. After ATL we recuperated for awhile, then went to check out the Maine. We watched skaters on the half pipe for a while and they threw me a free shirt :) The Maine were great, I really enjoyed their "pour some sugar on me" cover.
5. Then we chilled in the rockband and girlz tents for awhile, and Jess found a stack of Monster energy drinks left unattended and took some for us hahaha. That was probably the only thing that kept us going, I didn't really have the money for all their overpriced food & water.
6. During our little break we designed Hurley tshirts for the logo contests. Of course we didn’t win, but we got to keep our shirts, so that was cool!
7. Oh yeah, and we picked up all time low M&G passes earlier, and decided instead of waiting, to just walk up at the end (i mean we had passes right?) So after we designed our shirts we walked right up and met the boys :) And earlier, we had found a Jack of hearts playing card on the ground, so I thought it'd be cool for them to sign it. Jack grinned and fist bumped me for that :D He was the nicest.
8. So then I'm all jumpy and giddy and OH HEY I see ATL leave the m&g table and walk into the rockband tent. We follow, and see them setting up to play. AWESOME. Tried getting a sweet video but I was right in front of the monitor :( It was still awesome.
9. Then we watched Every Avenue and Meg and Dia, both great sets.
10. Then it started downpouring. So we spent about half an hour hiding in a tent, until it was time to see 3oh!3, the last band for the night. It was the most insane crowd ever. And some people were plain mean (like these two teenage girls who were purposely annoying me, I hate shit like that. Grow up. I ended up just moving away from them.) But 3oh!3, they were so good. It was so much fun. I didn't get much video or pics, because I could barely see through all the rain, but it was worth it.

(ok so all of my pics weren't cooperating and only uploaded at 340px, even after three tries. Uhh oh well, but if you want more and fullsizes they're at my flickr.)

I referred back to this picture more than the list I wrote on paper:
