On Marrying Matt Bellamy
(Last.fm event page: MUSE - Notice how all the MCR fans are missing in action.)
Hit the wilderness with plathegreat85 and her partner in crime, timk622 (aka the Bulldozer), to see MUSE open for My Chemical Romance. Or rather to see them close for Muse. With that in mind, you can imagine that the fun started way before we made it inside the venue. We spotted all sorts of characters and EMOS; it was insane... ly funny. Oh, and the people who shouted "SO ARE WE!" to our Muse shirts... A/S/L??
Pla and Timmy
We had to walk through 8 miles of forest in order to avoid the $15 venue parking fee.
We spotted our first emokid in the parking lot...
You can't see it here, but here eyes have been X-ed out. Maybe she can't bear to see the world.
The line was that long at 6pm when we arrived.
First edition of the "I'm here for MUSE" shirt. |:C
Why is she applying more makeup??
...what?
Pla pretended to take pictures of us in order to sneak more shots of the emos.
The GA experience was so grueling that I killed myself... [pause] NOT.
There were a lot of parents escorting/accompanying/chaperoning their pre-pubescent kids to the MCR show. It was funny. Especially when the parents sported tightly-fitted MCR/Black Parade shirts.
There was a lot pf pointing going on. Does my tie rock, or what?
First order of business is to find out who is on your side on the battlefield. Yelling "WHO'S HERE FOR MUSE?" will usually get the job done.
The lovely ladies that I had the pleasure of standing next to. [I <3 Gerard, bitch] later confessed to me that she was only 13 years old. "I'm 13, myself!"
GA crowd.
Muse takes the stage!!
Chris is a QT. Too bad he was on the other side of the stage.
CLAP WITH ME/DANCE WITH ME
He's wearing a lab coat since he's a part of the Black Parade's hospital bed scene. Just kidding.
Sup, guys?
Matt has a twin.
Hey, Matt! MARRY ME!™
He's so awesome.
A nice shot, amirite??
HOLY SHIT.
And after being BLOWN AWAY™ and thrown into a mini-mosh pit, we Muse fans got together in spirit of hating MCR.

JAY KAY!! MADE YOU LOOK! MCR BLOWS.
In other words, we left right after Muse finished their hour-long set.
Setlist
1. Take a Bow
2. Hysteria
3. Supermassive Black Hole
4. Map of the Problematique
5. Stockholm Syndrome
6. Starlight
7. Time is Running Out
8. Knights of Cydonia
Stockholm Syndrome. In full. I think I died at that point.
Take A Bow. "MAAAAAAARRY ME!!" -- that's me. I rule.
Hysteria. I'm glad they played a handful of songs from Absolution. I love that album to death.
Map of The Problematique. I'm pretty sure I asked Matt to marry me during that song, too.
Knights of Cydonia. Not only do I ask Matt to marry me but you can see me defending Pla in the "mosh pit" towards the rockin' end of the song. I'm a star.
Before the show. "We're going to get to the front through osmosis" and "THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID!"
WOO!
