SO HAHA. I can't even remember last week, yesterday feels like forever ago. On Friday, Rogak, Erica and I walked to the beauty supply store so Rogak could get hair dye and on the way there Erica mentioned that Tala was taking us. That was actually the first time she said anything. Two days before the show. Awesome. So I kind of out of my face in my head because I know that that is just how Erica is. Becca and I are supposed to go to the FNL but it rains so we don't then the next day Talia makes me come to the lunch thing. A few awkward boys try to chat me up and that was kind of silly, I guess. Ugh. Anyway, Saturday night I go to Erica's house so that Tala can pick us up more easily. Around eleven we finally get a hold of Tala (she was at bam and reception=fail) and she's like, "wait...Leah? What is a 'Leah?'" Apparently Erica wasn't 'clear' as to the small detail that it was Erica and I that Tala needed to take to Bam. So Tala says she has no room in the car. And I'm an anxious wreck because Erica says her Dad will take us but he'll be pissed. Around 1 we're going to bed and Erica's mom calls on the intercom to tell us to go to bed and Erica, very diplomatically, says, "also can Dad take us to Bamboozle?" So of course he says no and I can barely sleep. I wake up at like six and doze off every couple of minutes to be awoken by Erica's clock (it makes a hoot noise every 15 min) or my stomach, which was very upset about the whole anxiety situation. I don't think I've ever had anxiety related pain before. At 8 Erica's alarm goes off and we get dressed and she wakes up her parents who tell her to fuck off (in layman's terms) so we wait around for about an hour and her Dad takes us. It is drizzling already, but we get there in good time. We find jackie with unexpected ease and she tells us that she met NFG and such and then the doors open like half an hour later. It's still sorta spit-raining and we're getting pretty wet. Erica and I ditch Jackie and her friend because they have VIP passes. We walk around and get some merch and shit. We met a cute Kill Hannah fan! It was a boy and this stupid scene girl who I'd met at the leathermouth show. The whole time on line she kept going on and on about how she will fuck Gerard Way and Frank Iero. FAILURE FR REALZ LOL. Anyway, then we go to the wonka stage and start making our way into the front of the crowd. Family Force 5 pwned! They were so amusing and it was grayyyyt. Have since downloaded all their shit and I love them c: Then BILLY MF TALENT YES. This scene cunt in my school tried to steal my spot. The crowd was pretty hard and I worked hard to get where I was so I was pretty pissed. I spat in her hair twice and elbowed her in the ribs a few times and I felt so much better, haha. BILLY TALENT WAS SO GOOD FOREVER ACK. After that we kind of fiddled about looking for the Hollywood Undead signing but gave up and caught the end of The Sounds set and got ready for 3OH!#. Bot holy shiiiit, I couldn't have prepared myself for that. The crowd was absolutely ridiculous. There were, like, 5 pits and everyone was crowd surfing (poorly) and I completely dieeeed. There were a lot of dudes, too. Anyway THEN SUM 41 HAHA YES, PLEASE. They took forever to set up, but they were FANTASTIC. Derryck(sp?) is much better looking in person and the guitarist was wearing a skirt!! It was silly ;D I was completely ass-raping this cute punk kid in front of me. He was nice and had a sweet mohawk. Aaaand then some kid behind me started groping me. At first I thought it was kind of an accident, and I turn around and say, "so, you're actually groping me.." He replies, "well, it was there, I'm there..." So he lowered his hands onto my waist, which felt quite nice. In addition, he was sheilding me from some douches in the crowd, so all in all I was not complaining. Theen his hand sorta lowered onto the top of my pants and started, like, sneaking his finger into my pants? I was like WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE and took his hand off me but he put it back on my waist and groped me a little more. I have to say, I admired his persistence. He offered to help me surf, but I was set on finishing the set. I completely Joe Patackied my way out of the crowd afterward and smacked some bitches because no one would fucking moveeee.
Erica and I did have to pee, but we sorta ignored it and ran to Hollywood Undead. We weaved into the upper middle of the crowd. This crowd was also pretty hard. It was a lot more dudes than I was expecting, so. Anyway, THE USED was next! There was a sick rush of people to the front, and I was drowning in the crowd of people. I made it really close up, and maintained it for a good half an hour while they set up. They opened with Take It Away, my least favorite song by them. Jeph was sooooo cute! *_________* Bert has retained some of his weight, hahaha ♥ After that song, the crowd shifted a bit more and I was even closer than before, but I was also in a Leah burrito with fat, tall dudebros as the shell. I couldn't see, move, or breathe. I really felt like I was going to pass out. I gave up a few songs in, especially because they were playing shit from their newer album, and none of the songs that really mean anything to me :[ So I asked a dudebro to help me surf, and I got the fuck outta there. I had split with Erica as the Used was starting, because she couldn't keep up with me. I'd told her to meet me in front of the s//c merch tent. So I watched the rest of the set from the way back. At the end they played Box Full Of Sharp Objects and I went back into the back of the crowd for that. Only for The Used, I swear >:[
I met up with Erica, and she had lost her wallet during the set, but also met Deuce from Hollywood Undead. I bought us some food and hot cocoa, and we huddled together for warmth. I was so bummed about The Used. I have loved them for so long. We heard Rise Against's set, they played my favorite song by them, Hero Of War. I called Dad and it 7:45. He got there at the very end of TBS's set (they played a lot of my faves!) and David walked around the venue looking for me, but he was a huge douche and I couldn't hear him on Erica's phone (terrible reception). Around 10:30 we FINALLY find David and get to leave. Get home at about 11:30, and *CRASH* forever.
