there is nothing you can do that i have not already done to myself
so, msi totally ROCKED MY FACE OFF. i arrived at the venue like, an hour later than i'd wanted to, but there actually weren't too many people in line yet, so it was fine. i get inside and head downstairs to where the stage is, and i notice the right side is filled with large, tall guys. i head over there anyway, because i wanted to be on lyn-z's side. by the time julien-k (apparently the side project of some members of orgy. i remember i always had to change the channel when this certain music video of theirs came on, bc it was ~inappropriate) come out, i'm about five or so rows back. i'd never heard of them before, but they weren't too bad. not really bad at all. but the lead singer reminded me of a sleazy miami shady businessman, with his slicked back hair, gold necklace, and partially unbuttoned shirt, so i couldn't really take him seriously.
i was a little closer by the time the birthday massacre came out. i downloaded some of their music after i saw them with msi last month, and i really like them. the lead singer is totally adorable, she's really great to watch. and they have a guy playing keytar! and one of the guitarists (or maybe the bassist, i couldn't really tell) kept spitting water on people. oh, and flinging water at us...i got hit in the face various times. it felt nice though, since it was pretty freaking hot.
before msi came out, a group of people started chanting "anal sex," which appparently is/used to be the thing to do? and various other sexual things. it was mainly the little boys and girls right behind me...idk, it got old pretty fast.
but then, msi finally came out! they are AMAZINGLY AMAZING, seriously, i love them. they are so entertaining, and crazy and energetic and purposely rude and insulting, and sexy. except for the two my chem shows, this was the best show i've ever been to, no lie.
by the time they took the stage, i had been pushed back a little. there was a lot more space between the barrier and the stage, since there were security guards this time. they don't allow crowd surfing at this venue, which i was happy about. no getting kicked in the head! really soon into the set, probably during the first song, the crowd surged and i got shoved forward, and all of a sudden i was in the third row. i fought hard to keep my spot, too. there were a lot of large, sweaty, often shirtless guys around me, a few of who used my shoulders as like, dancing aids, idek. i didn't really mind, except when it hindered my own dancing ability. see, i'd rather get all sweaty and be pressed up against someone at a concert than be close enough to touch but it's all like, accidental touching, like bumping elbows, and you try not to move too much. i think it's more enjoyable that way. like, once you've had your crotch pressed against someone's ass and gotten their sweat all over you and vice versa, it's hard to be self conscious, you know? but that's just my opinion.
everyone was their usual crazy selves, with jimmy insulting us and being generally outrageous, kitty banging the shit out of the drums (although, i couldn't see her very well D:), and lyn-z rocking the fuck out and demonstrating how flexible she is ;) steve even laid down on the ground at one point while playing guitar (on my side of the stage), but mostly he stayed on the left side.
jimmy asked for clothes (after taking off his shirt...um, he's getting more and more attractive to me, idek), and people threw up (ha) some black tank top thing, a pair of black bat wings, and a black tutu. steve eventually put this around his head; it looked like an afro haha. jimmy also wore a large furry tiger mask during animal.
jimmy also stuck the microphone down his pants a few times (like, in his underwear), and steve pretended to stick his finger in the back of jimmy's pants.
during one song, lyn-z went over and put her head on steve's shoulder, and then sang/yelled in to the mic with him.
i was close enough to see lyn-z's thigh tattoo, but i still couldn't figure out what it is. i think it's something you'd have to ask her about. speaking of lyn-z, she was SO CLOSE, especially for the last few songs when i made it to the second row! fuck, that was awesome; i'd never been that close before. lyn-z kept making faces at us and saying things, i mostly couldn't make out what but at one point i think she was saying "blog about it," oh and also she was asking someone if they wanted to play the bass for/with her? idk. and i know i've said this before/you all probably know, but man, she is even more beautiful in person, and up that close. and she did the back bend at least three times.
kitty's drum kit was raised on a platform, and at the end of the second to last song lyn-z slid underneath it on her back, with her bass and all. i think she stayed under there for the last song, or she got out and left the stage because she definitely wasn't out there for the last song.
okay, here's the setlist (only the first two songs are in order bc i stopped trying to keep track):

lights out:
intro to 1989:
during the "wooooo!"s, lyn-z was like, throwing her head back and screaming. idk if she was actually screaming, but it looked like it.
issues:
it was pretty hot to see lyn-z singing "make out with her friends," i have to say.
jimmy's we are famous speech, stupid mf:
faggot:
you know how they choose someone from the audience to come on stage? well, jimmy was disappointed in the lack of people dressed in costume (specifically ariel, and a few more, i can't remember. i did see a girl dressed as a french maid, though), so he chose this tiny twelve-year-old kid who didn't seem to know the lyrics. it was pretty hilarious.
my video! the end of "there's no business like show business":
some pictures from the show:
one of the backdrops (they were taking everything down).
jimmy!
he draped the tank top and wore the bat wings, haha.
...yeah. like i said, sexy.
after the show, i hung out by the barrier to see if i could get the setlist or anything, and then jimmy came out to sign autographs. i had him sign my wristband (they give you wristbands instead of tickets at this venue, for whatever reason). i didn't get a picture with him bc there were a lot of people waiting. here's a blurry pic of it anyway:
then i turned around and saw steve! i asked him for a picture, and he put his arm around me and then squeezed my bun (i had put my hair in a bun bc it's really long and it was really hot). he was like, wow that's really heavy, and i was like yeah, i have long hair. he asked if it was this long and touched my lower back (ummm, omg), and then i kind of pointed on my back how long it was. he was like, holy shit, haha.
i was in the middle of talking, but i like the face he's making so i'm posting this.
better pic. i'd say that's not all sweat on my shirt, but i'm pretty sure it is.
i waited around for a bit to see if lyn-z or kitty would show up, then decided to head outside. i went around back and saw some members of julien-k (all of the birthday massacre were inside) and steve again, and then further back by the equipment trailer was lyn-z! there wasn't that big of a crowd by her, so i basically just walked up and smiled (pretty huge, i kind of couldn't believe she was right there) and asked if i could get a picture with her. she was like yeah sure, and put her arm around my waist and put her head on my shoulder (!!!). after, i just looked at her and blurted out, "...i think you're amazing." she was like thanks, i have a lot of fun up there. i told her you can tell, and then she was signing something for someone else so i just walked away. and smiled and squeed to myself like, the entire way home :D picture:
:D :D i know i keep saying this, but fuck, she's amazingly pretty in person. and nice, and adorable, and i ♥ her like whoa.
holy wow. if you made it threw all that, yay for you? i'm gonna try to go to bed before my mom gets up to go to the airport (not gonna happen).
