"That was intense!"
So, the other night I saw Sense Fail, Silverstein, the Bled and Emmanuel at St. Andrew's Hall. We got to Detroit at about 5:30pm or so. There weren't very many people there when we got there. We decided to try and go to the bathroom in a bar...BIG MISTAKE. Some old drunk man was at the counter and was saying something about "the girls with the boys and the boys with the toys." I tried to ignore him and then we followed the dark hallway down and the bathroom was around the corner. It was just a little too creepy seeing that there were only 3 old men in the bar at the time. So we wanted to get the fuck out of the place and we decided we could just hold it in. On the way out the fucking old assbartender was saying, "You girls look so cute and sweet...why don't you sit down and have a pop." We all just ignored him and got the hell out. Then we went to wait in line.
They let us in at a little ofter 6:30. We stood on the right side of the stage up against a baracade, that would later completely smash my back and puncture my sides. The band members had to walk past us to get to the stage. I saw Garrett on stage. We figured that he had to have walked past us to get on stage. I was furious. I have quite the crush on him. So, anyways, he sat on stage during Emmanuel. They were really good. During their set I looked back and saw Dan the drummer of Senses Fail Standing a little bit behind us. I thought Blair had seen him and said, "I want to get a picture with him." So i said, "Who Dan?" and she had no clue what I was talking about. I told her to turn around casually. She saw him and a little while later she called him over. We both got a picture with him. For some reason, I am VERY intimidated by him. He is like, 3 years younger than me, so I don't know why, but I didn't know what to say to him, so after I got my picture with him we just sort of stood, there..silent. He stood around for a good 30 seconds, and I think he was waiting for us to talk to him..but I didin't know what to say!!.
Anyways, after that ordeal, the Bled came on and put on a awesome show.
After them Silverstein played.....it was wonderful. I was a little saddened becasue I hadn't met Garrett. It was sort of putting a damper on the night.
So after Silverstein, came Senses Fail. It was great, except for the fucking moshers and crowd surfers. There were a few boys standing in front of us, blocking the moshers from us...I loved them for that. There were a few times where I was smashed up against the railing. That was enough for a sore rib cage and back. During the last song, Dave and Garrett climbed on top of the speakers and played their guitars. We think Garrett was afraid of heights because he was slowly climbing the speaker and kneeled the whole time, while Dave climbed up and stood there playing. I know I would have been scared! Of course, my camera decided to mess up and instead of having 36 exposures, i only had 29.
After the show was over we waited around a while. We saw the members over by their merch table talking to people. We talked to Buddy first. That guy makes me like the band more and more everytime. He is just so friendly. It was funny when he accused Ashlee of being drunk! After that, some guy walked up to Ashlee and handed her a guitar pick of Dave's...i was SOOOO jealous. She was nice enough to go ask the guy if he had more. Luckily he did, he gave Ashlee Mike's guitar pick, which she gave to me. Later on he came up to us again and Blair and I both got a pick of Dave's.
We saw Dave walking around so Blair got a picture with him. He wasn't very friendly:(. He just kind of got the picture and turned around and walked away. I was SO excited, because I play guitar, and to get a guitar pick of a band I love is the greatest thing ever to me. So Blair and Lindsey went to the bathroom, so Ashlee and I decided to talk to Mike. While I was talking to him...he seemed to be staring at my chest the whole time. And it wasn't casually, it was for a long noticable time. I was talking to him about how we saw them in Grand Rapids. He kept asking me if I had a good time. I turned around after a while and he said something and I didn't hear him. He told me that it meant a lot that I came to the show and gave me a big smile.
After that, I was completely devastated. All the boys were out except Garrett. I was standing there, sulking and I looked over and I saw him. Garrett was staninf about 5 feet away from me. I turned to Blair and we walked over to him. People kept walking in front of me when I would try and talk to him. Pretty soon the security guard was saying okay, last autograph everyone out. So I hurried up and asked him if I could get a picture. We took one and I said You guys were so awesome, and he said thanks and we had to leave. I was sad because I didn't get to talk to him, and he wasn't that talkative either. We think he's shy. But the fact that I met him completely turned my night around. I got my pictures back and I'll have to post them as soon as the other computer is fixed.
It was a great night and I can't wait to see them again in January!:)
