so thursday was OMFG KINGS OF LEON DAY. i got up at the crack of dawn and packed my shit, got on the tube, got on the train to brighton and away i went. met camilla and sam at brighton around 10 something in the morning, went to mcdonalds for happy meals because we are fat, camilla had a hair straightening panic, and then we went to the venue around 11:45 AM [we are pathetic.] BASICALLY, it was fucking freezing out and rained at various points and we sat there for more than 7 hours haha. to pass the time camilla and i scouted around the building to find the tourbuses, which we did and proceeded to wait outside them for like half an hour about 3 times. [we are REALLY pathetic]. there was no sign of life so we just hung out with sam in front of the venue and nobody else even got there until about 4:30 ish. so it was pretty pointless. but proves that we are devoted fans or something.
ANYWAY.
at about 3 when we were the only ones in front, JARED FOLLOWILL WALKED RIGHT BY US and we flipped out [silently] but didn't bug him cause he was with some lady and we just sort of grabbed each other and were like HOLYHJD OMOGD. yeah we're fucking lame. but yeah. omg.
ANYWAY.
doors were at 6:30, when they finally opened them they decided to open TWO SETS OF DOORS so people like ran in in front of us and we were like WTF WTF NOOO but as soon as we got in we made a run for it and got FRONT ROOOWWW against the barrier and right in the fucking middle. :] the support didn't come out for like two fucking hours, they were having some guitar problems or something, but nacho [the kings of leon guitar tech/cousin] was on stage and were like NACHO NACHOOO and he looked at us and smiled and pointed and were like LOLZ OMGOMDFOM. yeah.
anyway. the features came on, they were cute, the drummer was adorable and really good and was dancing whilst drumming and we were like AAAW. he was looking in our direction a lot and i thought it was at me but in hindsight it was probably at camilla's boobs which were completely squished against the barrier thus making them look like a huge bum. [good for the bands looking at her, bad for her boobs.]
SO ANYWAY THEN THEY FINISHED AND LIKE OMFGOMM KINGS OF LEON CAME ON and i almost passed out [pathetic]. caleb did his singing 'CHECK ONE, CHECK ONE TWO, CHECK ONE TWO THREEEE' thing and i was like HOLY SHIIIIIIIIIT. we were right in front of him so it was fucking amazing. they played AMAAAAZINGLY well and the whole first half of the set was sweet cause i managed to stay at the barrier despite the drunken headbanging boys beside me who were gross and commenting on camilla's breasts and just yeah. gross. i made eye contact with matthew a few times and jared kept looking at my camera when i went to take pictures of him. and caleb was just glkjgkh CALEB. it was weird and dreamlike to be right in front of him as i've obsessed over him madly. unfortunately around the middle of the set i got drowned by the pit and ended up behind the nuts drunk headbangers who were banging their heads into my painful ear so i cried a little but was all IT'S WORTH IT FOR CALEB OMGG [i'm dumb.] the secturity guards also kept squishing camilla and i when they grabbed crowdsurfers out [camilla has mad amounts of bruises all over to prove it.] but all in all the gig was fucking incredible despite pain and how stretched out my tip was at the end of it.
SO.
after the show we went outside and i was looking fucking appalling because i was so sweaty that my hair had gone mega curly and my makeup was down my face and yeah..it just wasn't a pretty sight. but we ventured to where the tourbuses were anyway and waited there for about 20 minutes before we saw nacho hauling stuff out of the back door. so we went up and i was like 'nacho you're awesome and we love you.' and he's like 'you're awesome and i love YOU' and i wass likkkeee OMG good.
yeah.
so there were about 30 people waiting around maybe, but within about 20 more minutes most of them sorta gave up and left, and by the time the band came out there were maybe only 15 or 20 of us at most. they came out and i went a litttlle crazy inside. but yeah. the security guard was like LET THEM PUT THEIR SHIT ON THE BUS AND THEN THEY'LL COME OUT OK so i was like 'okay it's all good' and caleb went 'yeah it's all good' and i died. but yeah. they came out and i told nathan i really liked him without the beard [because he did actually look really good] and he was like 'thank you very much.' and caleb was like 'yeah we've been trying to get him to shave it off for months' and nathan said 'yeah well at least i still have my back hair' and i laughed like a retard and blathered on about compromises or something. anyway. i got them to sign my CD and got pictures with them etccc, but when i got it with nathan i was like 'yeah i probably smell like shit i'm really sweaty' and he was like 'it's okay i don't smell like roses either' and i was like I LOVE YOU. no i didn't really say that but i was thinking it. i forget what i talked to caleb about because i was flipping out inside, except we met some girls who took the picture for me and were like 'DO MYSPACE POSES!' to caleb and i was like 'what the fuck' and he's like 'yeah what the fuck are you guys gonna put these on myspace' and i was like ahahh..yes. sadly. ummm yeah. jared was talking to me about how tenessee is the best state in america or something and i was like yes ok. because some moron girls were like WHERE R U GUYS FROMMM? and matthew was quiet but cute. and INVITED CAMILLA TO THE AFTERPARTY [thank you camilla's boobs] but we couldn't go because we didn't want to drag all the people we went with with us and it was late and we had to drive home. anyway. yes. it was the bestnightofmylife and i am obsessive and pictures are
mind that i look fucking appalling in all of these as i was just out of the pit and curly and sweaty and gross. but i have no shame because i met kol ok.
