REPORT TIIIIIIIME
I am finally feeling well enough to do this and can't sleep so this is the best time to do this!
- I tried to fuck up my sleep schedule on purpose so I would sleep all day but I stayed up too late because the hairdye i bought was shitty and not dying right and I literally spent like 5 hours working on my hair. Then I set my alarm for the wrong time and ran around like a headless chicken then my IPOD DID NOT SYNCH MY MUSIC so i had to use a CD player all weekend and Dad was so mad about having to drive me to Denver and was being such a dick about it *hands*
- I made it to the airport alive and they inspected my carry on because of my cd player :| but I was CREATIVE and DREW A PICTURE on the plane! Something not little dumb bobblehead thingies, whoo!
It's Gerard from my bbb! I wont explain anymore but whoo! I'm pretty proud of this because I don't draw like this anymore and if I do I hate it and either never look at it or throw it away. So yay!
- I got a taxi at the airport in Portland driven by a sleepy russian-accented gentleman. He seemed sort of reticent about dropping me off at the hotel because the hotel was over a saloon and wasnt like LOOK LOOK THERE'S A HOTEL HERE!!! But Haley came down and got me and we were all YAY and went inside and The White Eagle used to be a brothel way back in the days and we were in the high class white hooker lady rooms! There was also only a sink in the rooms, otherwise the bathrooms and showers were down the hall. It was pretty interesting, especially since one bathroom had a lock i was too dumb to figure out and the other door didnt even shut all the way.
Here's some photos Haley took of the room because the hotel/saloon is haunted and she was bored and looking for ~spirit orbs~ lol
The beautiful Haley is modeling in the mirror above the tiny sink in the room. It was definitely a neat little place, if cold. lol.
- We grabbed the shit we needed for line sitting then got our asses down to the venue. It was about 1 am at this point and we must have been the 5th people in line. There was a mother-daughter team with some of her friends and they had been there since 5 pm the previous day because they arrived early and had nothing better to do. THey have this van and they take their dogs and just follow bands around the country and apparently are friends with all these bands and stuff and that's pretty neat. I'm jealous, I could never get my parents to even drive me places IN STATE to go to shows!
- There was this girl who was way drunk and was sort of just flopping everywhere and repeating herself a million times and she flopped down next to me and was like YOU ARE SO BEAUTIFUL, DID YOU KNOW THAT?! and Iwas like '....D:' because how do you tell someone that is completely wasted and staring at you like you're the Mona Lisa that you honestly don't agree with them. I could feel my cheeks burning up and honestly just wanted the ground to swallow me up lol. Luckily Mother of the Mother-daughter team was close and had her dog so the drunk girl was like DOG and forgot all about me o__o;
- This is about when alexalgebra showed up! hahaha nightehfaice literally set us up like two days or so beforehand going YOU GUYS ARE GOING TO THE SAME SHOW BE FRIENDS XD so he came and hung out and was awesome and he RPs like me so we knew a bunch of the same people including HER :| so that was interesting. It was also pretty cool to talk about that with someone that knew exactly what I was talking about!
- HOBOS. The Hobos were interesting lol. There was one guy that just wipped it out across the street and peed all over the side of the church lol. There was another guy that came up and talked to us and he funny and guessed our ages. He guessed that Alex was 18, Haley was 17, and I was 'You shouldnt even be out here!'. lol. Obviously the only one he got right was Haley hahaha. And idr exactly when this happened but one guy walked past and told us he was 'HIGH AS A GIRAFFE'S ASS' and the whole line lol'd.
- VOODOO DONUTS TIME. We figured out that voodoo donuts was open 24/7 and Haley and i were like YESSSSSSSSSSS and went and got donuts! I got bubblegum and one that was peanutbutter and chocolate and rice krispies and Haley got a creme-filled one that HAD A MOUSTACHE ON IT. We were also slap-happy at the time so we took some goofy pics lol
Haley's pics:
GUSTAV VON DONUT XD we named him because it was such a dapper donut!
The bubblegum donut was actually SUPER delicious and I am glad I got the balls to try it. nom nom. Also, that's the look of DONUT CRAZED!!!
my camera:
om nom nom
Gustav and Haley!
MM DONUT GOOD
Now it is Haley's turn to be dapper!
Also, that was the point where Haley said "My hands are covered in filling!' then paused for a second then said "MY NAME IS NOT HANS" and we lol'd so much, because Gustav, not Hans, get it? HYSTERICAL.
- After that we decided to try to sleep. This was also when it got cold. :( And this hobo came and looked all of us over, he walked up and hovered over all of us and I was like D: but he passed by. So all in all we got like half-an-hour of sleep or so. Sucks.
- Daphne came and joined us about 6 am and was awesome! It was nice to meet her! We just chilled and chatted and at like 8:30 we had some epic MCR sing-alongs :D that was awesome. Also, I found out that in the Pacific North West, potato wedges are called Joe Joes. And some guy was nice enough to give us a few and we were like OM NOM NOM and ate those bitches so hard.
- At some point, this dude that Daphne knows shows up and this girl named Heidi and they ended up being super awesome and hung out with us. There were dead baby jokes and Daphne's mom brought her Joe Joes to share with us. It was fun!
Me as a mouse eating my DELICIOUS DONUT OF DELICIOUSNESS, Daphne, the dude, and the face in the corner is the one I got caught calling a bitch haha. She was horribly rude to us though so I only feel a little bad XD
Heidi got the Cock'n'Balls donut from Voodoo which is literally a penis shaped donut with creme inside of it. It was hysterical to watch her eat it XD So many dick jokes.
- MCR showed up and we went and did some creeping and these girls started screaming when they showed up so they didnt come out and do signings :(
- At some point, nini_darko, themegs, and thevelvetsun showed up and there was some mutual '...i know your face" going on haha. I creeped on Nini and Megs called me out immediately haha. We had mutual friends! So I met them! And we are all friends now! Yaaaay ♥
- We totally totally creeped on MCR inside the venue just inside where the windows were. There were photographs on the walls and they were all looking at them and we were peeking at them and giggling a little. We waved at Gerard and he bit his lip so he wouldn't smile and turned around. And Pedicone waved at Haley and seemed amused lol. So that was nice XD
- An old old friend of mine that I recently got in contact again lives in Portland so he came by to say hi with his girlfriend and best friend and we went to this little art gallery and looked around and reminisced and it was really nice to see/meet him.
- Melissa arrived! She's a friend of Jennifer's and had to go to work and has a bad back that doesn't allow her to sit around on cement so she showed a bit late. She was very nice and cool!
- Twitter declared that Taylor from Drive A was coming to the show with his girlfriend so we were like COME HANG OUT! and they were like OKAY! Even though they arrived late and we didnt get to hang out before the show.
- LINE DRAMA. The girl that I called a bitch was literally letting entire groups of people get in line in front of us and when we confronted her about it she was incredibly rude about it. Everyone behind her and us were upset though so we all got together and plotted and decided we were just gonna grab each other and run inside the doors when they opened. Oh MCR shows, so much line drama I cannot even :'D
- So the doors open and there's this mad rush to get inside, I literally got stuck between someone and the door frame x_x but I got in and got through security and made my way into the actual venue which was UPSTAIRS which i found weird. It was also super smoky in there and I literally stuck my hand out because I thought the smoke was plastic covering the entrance. Yeah, idk.
- I got barrier! It was between Gee and Ray but closer to where Gee would be and before the show even started I was getting CRUSHED. It was insane and way uncomfortable lol. My back was killing me and i had to stand with my elbows on the barrier to be comfortable which led to massive forearm bruising.
My beautiful face lol
- The Architects! So pleasantly surprised! Even when the sound sucked and I couldnt understand a word they were saying! Also, Frank was in the little sound alcove on sidestage totally rocking out XD We could only see like, his eyes and up but it was cute to see his little head bobbing around and him clapping when the band wanted the crowd to clap XD bless his little face.
- NEON TREES. I was one of those people that were kind of '...' about them being on tour with MCR but they were perfect and amazing. Tyler, their lead singer, is an AMAZING front man. He makes faces and dances and prances and crawls around and is just completely enigmatic and charming and FABULOUS. He also took off his boots and socks and necklace during the show and threw them into the crowd! ahh!
- Haley passed out during the last Neon Trees song D: She was like "I can't make it' to me and was trying to wave down security and I FINALLY got one to pay attention right as she just went limp. They had to work to get her out and I was like D: D: D: because should I have gotten out with her? She said later she would have been mad at me if I had gotten out with her but still! And apparently, the bassist for Neon Trees came down to see her and cheer her up and make sure she was ok. That's amazing, what a nice guy.
- The wait for MCR was terrible, it was the longest wait for a band in my life because of the crush. I don't think I could deal with being in the center like that again haha o_o
- right as MCR came on, people stared passing out. This one girl behind me passed out and i was trying to get out of the way but I couldnt and she was so limp they couldnt get her out so I was bent over backwards at one point and my head was smashed between two security guys too x_x and when they finally got her out my spot was being swallowed up on barrier and i was like NO!!! and shoved my arms back in. My hips were pointing left and my torso was pointing right and It took three songs until I got the space to stand up straight again, holy hell.
- at one point, one girl thre up right there at barrier and it was kind of gross and stuff but mostly I felt bad for her :( (we saw her in seattle and apparently she had gallstones and that's how she found out. poor thing) and they got a trash can and got her all puked-out before pulling her out. and it was right by my stuff so I was so convinced that my hoodie had gotten barfed on. :(
- at about 2/3s of the way through the set I started feeling way light headed and couldnt catch my breath and my fingers were tingling and stuff and i was like 'okay, I need to get out before I pass out too' so I waved a security dude over and he yanked me out. That's literally the first time I have ever HAD to be pulled out of a pit. It was that intense.
- I got some water, went downstairs, got my breath back, and found Haley who was suffering from dehydration sickness and kept throwing up :( I bought her some merch to make up for passing out before MCR her first time seeing them and then we went and hung out with Taylor and Jess whom she had run into in the back. We hung out the rest of the time back there with them
- Helena played and while I was leaving Taylor and Jess alone for the most part, I was internally begging them not to turn around during that song because I was crying like a baby XD They were gonna leave before the encore but they stayed and I rocked out with them because Haley was downstairs because the bass made her stomach hurt :( But it was cool to see Taylor! He liked my shirt (I was wearing a drive a shirt XD) and asked if he would see me in Denver for the Drive A show and I was like 'nooo~~...' and told him it was during while I'd be in Maryland to see MCR and he was very approving XD Also, massive amounts of hugs. I love Taylor hugs!
- Haley had lost her phone when being pulled out and I got it for her from a very brusque and rude security guy. At least the phone was okay!!!
- After the concert was a mess. It was raining and SO COLD and after we got our stuff out of Nini's car we set about calling a taxi! None would stop, my phone died as we tried to call a place, I tried to call my friend to help but all he could do was order one online for us and my phone died and Haley's is thermal activated so we were to cold to use it. I was using blankets to keep warm because i thought my hoodie had been thrown up on! D: but this taxi pulled up to the curb across the street so we ran over there and these guys were nice enough to let us take it even though they were waiting longer then us! Who says chivalry is dead!
- we got back to the hotel room and just sort of died lol. We both forgot pj pants and stuff and it was cold and the live music at the saloon downstairs were still going but we chatted a little bit in bed then just sort of died.
- we had to wake up a bit early because check out was at 11, so haley set her alarm to 9:30 am so she could hit snooze for awhile. I got up and moved around a bit and saw my phone, though plugged in, hadn't charged all night. I freaked a bit, messed with the cords, but decided fuck it and went back to sleep. I had a dream that Haley and i were the only people at the Seattle venue and it was raining so hard and FREEZING so Ray Toro took pity on us and let us on the bus and my brain had decided that when the bus is parked they dont get electricity, and since my phone was dead, Ray said he would charge it for me. He plugged it into this wooden box with a metal handle then started turning a crank XD it was like a giant old-fashined ice cream maker but it charged my phone! And when I woke up the second time my phone was charging! Yay Dream!Ray Toro!!!! :D
- We packed and checked out and got a really rude guy who answered the phone instead of giving us our change even though he knew we had a cab out front waiting for us. But we checked out and got a cab to the greyhound station and got food and chilled out until 4 when we got on the bus to SEATTLE
Jfc this is long, I am gonna make Seattle another post :x
