MCR SHENANIGANS EAST COAST: Part III, New Jersey Night 2.
When we woke up this day, I was feeling pretty good. My headache was sort of minimal and I was still chugging gatorade and water and ate a sandwhich and took a shower and tried to pull myself up by my bootstraps despite the fact i was still pretty tired and stuff, but I'm sure if i got as much sleep as I needed I would have slept literally all day.
MORE QUICK CHEK! The night before the cashier was a guy that had the most delicious Jersey accent and I wanted to make him stand there and talk to me FOREVER. (he was bemoaning his life because they play WHIP MY HAIR over the sound system a lot lol). That day it was a really cute girl so I giggled lots and kept singing that same Bouncing Souls song. (she liked my haaaair~~) Also: TastyKakes. Oh god Tastykakes.
We got to the venue later then we did the day before and there was still nobody in the will-call line so Marie got to hang out with us for awhile and Sally and Mel had their GEOFF EXPERIANCE and that was exciting! And Sally comics-chatted with me because she was reading (The Filth, right?) and I was in the middle of Final Crisis and already had Feelings about it hehe.
They ordered veggie pizza and I just ate my lunchables but i still chipped in! And kept drinking my gatorade, lol. We also showed off drawings and pictures of KITTIES (Mel has a one eyed cat named Willie and he is the CUTEST THING. One day I will pet that cat, I swear it!) The people that were in line next to our group were off chatting all day and offered up their chair so I sat there for most of the afternoon hehe.
At one point we were joined by a youngin' who was pretty cool, but ended up to be Matt Pinfield's niece? oh...oh. And there was also Sally's friend Natalie who was pretty awesome! She heckled Ray the night before every time he took a drink of beer and that is the BEST THING EVER!!!
But unfortunately, right before doors is when the headache STRUCK. And with a vengeance. By the time Jennifer and I had gotten inside and found stools in front of the open window spaces in the bar it turned into a migraine. So I more or less flopped onto that stool and was in different stages of dying the whole night.
This Good Robot were awesome again! Maybe even better this night! I didn;t mention that the singer and one extra-percussion dude wore chains on their ankles during one song to make sounds and it was super awesome! (also, i forgot to mention, the night before the singer lost his show when crowd surfing/walking and begged people to find it and offered a reward. TAYLOR WAS THE ONE THAT FOUND IT LOLOLOL. They signed stuff for her and all of them thank her and make shoe references. AMAZING!!)
The Architects killed it again, of course, even if I couldnt hoot or holler or even dance because it hurt my head :( they had a better reception that night! So that was good!! :D
Thursday was gooood. I'm glad I had the chance to FINALLY sit and watch their set all the way through. I wasn't a fan of them before seeing them live, but I am totally a convert now. They're amazing and i am glad i got the chance to see them (AND MEET GEOFF BUT THATS LATER)
Between Thursday and MCR is when my migraine got worse, OF COURSE, and it was a struggle to keep my head up and my eyes open. I was like SO READY for the show and everything but oh god my heaaad. I could feel the spots where my head hurt and it sapped the strength out of me.
BUT MCR WAS SO AWESOOOOME. I mean the first night was mindblowing but even with a headache of doom they were soooooooooo amazing oh my god. It's so obvious that they love being home in Jersey! I recorded some video since i wasnt really doing much else lol but it really didnt come out very well sound-wise so I dunno if i am gonna upload it somewhere. Maybe.
OH GOD DESTROYA almost killed me with the flashing lights though. I had my hands over my eyes during most of it because they were just KILLING ME. Ugh ugh. By the time the encore rolled around I was close to DEATH. It felt like my brain was eating it's self or something.
BUT IT ALL CHANGED WHEN THEY CAME BACK AND PLAYED OUR LADY OF SORROWS. I don't know how to express this and the miracle that happened to me but SORROWS CURED MY MIGRAINE. It was there before the song but it wasn't there after wards. Nor has it come back or has my head hurt AT ALL (I'd been having migraines/headaches for like a week or two before the show). I have no idea what happened, but I rocked out in my seat to the song and that should have made it WORSE and not BETTER. Whatever, though. I am not complaining. (AND HOLY SHIT -OUR LADY OF SORROWS-. All I want to see now is Honey.)
So after the show WITH A NEW LEASE ON LIFE, I skipped out of the venue to find my friends and talk to the dudes from the Architects hehe. We got them to promise to do a group pic with us, so we went and took pictures of our own! (I was DETERMINED not to go another trip without taking pictures of places i went and people i met, so PICTURES. I will herd people into photos if i have too!)
Mel, Sally, and Marie!
With me this time! And blurry! lol
Me, Mel, and Sally! (sorry for the blurry guys, damn camera :( ♥)
So after that, we were promised that Brandon would round up the other Architect guys to take a photo with us and to go wait by the buses. So we went over there and got in the small crowd of people waiting to see if MCR would come out. They didn't, of course, but we waited anyways and chatted with people and waved at the Brandon and Keenan a few times hehe.
At one point, we looked down the line a little bit and I noticed that Geoff Rickly was outside of Thursday's little bus/van-hybrid thing and I was like JENNIFER because her goal for the trip was to hug Geoff. So we went over there, chatted with him, got hugs, and took pictures!
Jennifer and Geoff! (hahaha his face <3)
THE REUNION OF GEOFF, SALLY, AND MEL CAUGHT ON CAMERA :D
I love this photo hahaha it's horrendously adorable!
GEOFF RICKLY AND HIS HAREM XD
So after that, the guys of the Architects finally came back over and lined up for a group shot!
my camera's flash wouldn't go off D: (and omg, can you tell how drunk Zach was? THE DRUNKEST. XD 'im not drunk!' says he as we SMELL the liquor on him XD...)
So luckily Marie's camera came to the rescue and took a good one! (even with the photobombing girl in the bg lololol)
And then we left! We didn't get a chance to say goodbye to Sally and Mel but we had just had a big GOODBYE AND HUGS session with The Architects and we didn't want to feel lame and come right back after all that lol. So we owe them some mega hugs! heheh
SO HERE BEGINS THE DINER SAGA. We decided that we needed the full Jersey experience and needed to go to a diner. Luckily for us, there was a diner on the way back to our hotel, right off the main road!
TOTAL TOURISTS BUT WE DONT CAAARE
The waitress even took some photos for us :D
After this hubbub and we settled in, that's when we noticed that MAMA WAY AND HANDSOME DON AND OTHER WAY FAMILY AFFILIATES WERE AT THE SAME DINER AS US!!!!!!! They were back in the back booths by the windows and it was so fucking surreal. Out of all the diners in New Jersey, we picked the same one that the Way's were eating at. Mama Way kept watching us, says Jennifer, seeing if we would come running over or something. But we didn't because if MCR are just normal people, then their families are REALLY normal people and dont deserve people being all OMG OMG at them as they're trying to eat.
But even with the Way's stamp of approval, I'm glad we picked that diner. The food was soooo good. I had some chicken wraps and fries and it was soooo good. I also got a chocolate cream pie that was more cream then chocolate and super rich. om nom nom~~
Happy to be in a Jersey Diner!
Bawww, so cute ♥
JUST DAMN HAPPY NOT TO BE IN PAIN!
I WANT SOME OF THIS RIGHT NOW
om nom nom XD
Also, there was a guy that was totally hitting on Jennifer. Total guido guy and he was so funny. He chased his date off by laughing at her ordering some food and her friend being like REALLY?! and her being like 'WELL I'M GETTING A DIET COKE' and he made us lol so hard when he left. And after we got a bit lost then figured out where we were going, there were COPS outside the DINER. Either because the girls left without paying or because THEY called the cops on HIM. We're not sure but we know which one is funnier XD oh jersey, i love you.
So by the time we got back to the hotel room it was like 3 am haha. So as Jennifer and i figured out what time we needed to get going the next day, Marie had already passed out so as soon as that was figured out and I was all packed, I went straight to bed and slept like a log. 7 am was gonna come DAMN early!
When we woke up this day, I was feeling pretty good. My headache was sort of minimal and I was still chugging gatorade and water and ate a sandwhich and took a shower and tried to pull myself up by my bootstraps despite the fact i was still pretty tired and stuff, but I'm sure if i got as much sleep as I needed I would have slept literally all day.
