The first opener was Drive A, a band made up of teenage boys. They rocked our hair off. Look them up, kids, you won't be disappointed. The second was. Uh. The lead singer (the drummer for Under Oath) wanted desperately to be the love child of Axl Rose and David Lee Roth, and kept informing us that JESUS LOVES US ALL. Bert's Jesus fetish is getting worse.
The security guard between sets came to talk to us, and we babbled to him about BEING CANADIAN and LOOK AT OUR AWESOME SHARPIE TATTOOS until he gave Shay one of Dan's splintered, signed, half-broken drumsticks. (Worth saying that we didn't know he had the stick, we just like babbling at people who are contractually obligated to stand in front of us.) It's going to be a time-share drumstick, obviously. Mikey gets to keep it first, since we're leaving her alone. :(
The less said about the crowd for the Used, the better. Long story short, Bert had to keep telling the crowd not to be assholes/stop fighting, and Meghan and Shay got literally crushed by kidney-punchers and had to be pulled up over the barrier. They ended up with a good view in the end, though, so that worked out fine. Plus! More chance to be in the pit. (Which they'll babble about in their own journals, probably.) Mikey and Elizabeth managed to stay on the rail for the whole time. :D :D :D
OKAY, BUT THE MOTHERFUCKING USED? ARE THE MOTHERFUCKING USED. To get the non-music stuff out of the way: Bert kept telling the crowd he would fuck 'every single person in here!', Quinn has shaved his face, Jepha has shaved his chest-pelt, Dan is a terribly attractive troll, Jepha nearly fell over in his desperation to run away from some girl's bra (Bert was trying to shove it in his face), Bert likes really bad jokes, Dan likes rimming rimshots, and Bert and Quinn kept making adoring faces at each other and licking their lips. TRUE FACTS. Oh, and they started playing Don't Fear The Reaper so that Dan could use his cowbell, but then he refused to stop and just kept banging the cowbell with both sticks. \m/
We'll all probably spam our own journals separately about the music (sorry :x), but it has to be said that they played Blue and Yellow. :D Eeeeee. :D :D
RIGHT. PICTURE TIME YET AGAIN.
Waiting for the show to start. Mikey's claiming the drumstick by rubbing her snot all over it.
STICK.
Dan is a TROLL.
A TROLL WITH GIANT DRUMSTICK-BREAKING TROLL HANDS.
Anna is FRIGHTENED by the idea of a troll!Dan D:
Meanwhile, these three seem excited by the concept.
Meghan was testing her headbutting abilities for the pit (first time!). Unfortunately, she ended up losing.
This kid is seventeen.
You should listen to his band.
These men want you to know that Jesus saves. Also, that you can taste the bright lights, but you won't get them for free in the jungle.
Bert is glad to see you, sexies.
Bert is not, however, glad to see that the crowd is made up of 25% enriched douche bran. "Stop fighting, you fucking mohawked faggot", as the dude said.
Quinn's thighs do their best to calm the crowd.
JEPHA NEEDS TO STOP ROCKING OUT SO HARD. WE COULDN'T TAKE PICTURES OF HIM.
Because Bert's worth it.
Quinn likes staring at Bert. He does it a lot.
This was taken immediately after the last one. Discuss.
Jepha being attractive. Since he got rid of the pelt and changed the facial hair a bit, he had to add something else to maintain his level of Gay 70s Porn Star.
We want to pinch his chubbles.
HE'S WEARING THE CLONE OF MIKEY'S THURSDAYVERSE QUINN!HAT. FUCK YEAH.
Bert's flirting abilities are so advanced, you can't even handle it. Meanwhile, Quinn hides in the blur. (Though not Blur, even though he does like them.)
Quinn really does gaze at Bert a lot. Awww. <3
