So, I meant to type this up yesterday, but I was horribly distracted by Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog. So here is my Day Three update on my trip:
Everything started out just fine and dandy with my first flight and the connecting one. I got there early, and found out that my connecting flight was right across the way from where I got in (which is apparently a nice change from what most people experience: having to immediately run from one end to the other with just enough time left to get on the plane). I had three hours to kill, so I found another flight that left earlier, and got on that. I sat across the way from this amazingly hot businessman....I really wanted to have him make me a part of the mile high club!
So, I get on the plane and sit down next to this nice lady named Mary.....and then this bitch trips and spills coffee on my pants, my shirt, and MY TOP HAT! I was soooo damn pissed, but I couldn't even say anything right away. I cleaned it off as best as I could though, which no one could even see it when I was done. The plane ride was nice, and we got in about a half hour early again. So I got into LA at 11:20 something instead of 1:10pm. Then the waiting game began because my friend Chris was stuck in traffic, and then Jackie and JJ started to come out, and then Chris wasn't in traffic, and then he went to the sushi restaurant ahead of us, and then we tried to get to it, and then it turned out to be closed and we were going the wrong way. So we turned around and met him at a different sushi place. It was so terribly cute and off the beaten path.
Sushi was amazing (I had teriyaki filet mingon sushi roll that was quite delicious!) and it was so nice to see Chris again. So Jackie went to take JJ home and I went to hang out with Chris some before the concert. We got there right on time, but Jackie called and said she was stuck in traffic :( I went to get my ticket and everything, and found out who I needed to tak to to get backstage to the meet and greet. I let them know that Jackie was coming, but was stuck in traffic, and they said that they would let her in once she arrived. We were escorted up to the front porch to wait for them, and Jackie still had not arrived. Then the band came out, and Jackie still had not arrived, but she was closer. So, I started talking to the band and showing them my Snake on a Plane that they loved :) Jackie finally showed up and got in (with my connections) and we chatted with Gabe a bit (he high-fived me for my snake :) )
The concert was absolutely wondorus! The first band sucked, the second band rocked, the third one sucked as well (except for when they did a cover of the Men in Black Theme), and the last was Cobra Starship, so of course they rocked! Oh, and guess who was there..........Pete Wentz and Ashlee Simpson!!!!!! They were up in the balcony, but we totally got a pic of them. I was pretty much drunk off my ass and on my way to being deaf, but that was such an amazing day!
So, the next day, we woke up and took our time getting ready and such...then went down to pick up JJ (in costume, of course) and then went to Little Tokyo to this really fun Japanese bookstore where I picked up this cool Bizenghast book thingy. After, we went to this place called Pinkberry. For all of you East Coasters, it is an amazing berry flavored frozen yogurt place. It's all the rage here in Cali. I think the cute guy at the counter was hitting on me (he told me that my card had a hold on it, and then said he was just kidding) I looked at him and said, "Just because you're cute, don't think you can get away with that shit." He definitely smiled a bit :)
Then, it was on to the West Hollywould Halloween Carnival. It was huge! We walked all around, looking at all the hot guys and girlies, took many pictures of them, and eventually left. It took us over two hours to get out of LA it was sooo damn packed around there!
It has been so much fun so far (except for the fact that Jackie's internet connection hates me :( I am so looking forward to seeing my family tonight!
