Sorry I made you wait but I've been working since the show and what not, so here's the long awaited concert update:
My quote for my obsession with Hedley. - "This is not a one night stand"
June 2nd 2005 was the day Julia couldn't even begin to brush off the excitment. Hedley was coming to Chilliwack and there was no stopping it. It was around 5:55pm when Jenn picked me up and we headed over to the Evergreen Hall. We got there and Mudra [From the Forum] and her friend were already in line. First people. It was fun. I missed waiting in line ups for Hedley. Yet again, the security guard was an idiot - reminded me of October 2nd and October 23rd. It really did. He was an idiot, he would open the door and be like, "Due to sickness the show is cancelled" like 1864732435 times, SERIOUSLY! So it became closer the the show and more people showed up. Bethany from the forum as well showed up,. then Erin's friend Bry showed up who was a complete doll, thank goodness my directions got her there. So I look inside the building and notice Ange was in there, got her attention and sent her my love. THEN These stupid sardis stuck up's came and tried to get in early but they FAILED! You can obviously tell there were there for the guys and not the music. I was choked. The feel at this show was bad. Atleast at other shows everyone gets along because they are there for hedley. not for something to do on a Thursday night in Chilliwack.
-Julia Dolled Up For The Show-
It was now 7:00pm and the doors weren't open. I got antsy. Everyone got antsy. 7:10 rolls around, doors not open. FINALLY 7:20pm the girl opens them, but we weren't allowed in for another 10 minutes, HELLO SHOW TIME! So I get in the 3rd person, and walk (FAST) over to secure my place in front of the stage, leaning on the stage, I wouldn't have it ANY other way.
Finally I got to talk to Ange in person not through glass, HA HA! Although she came out to say hello to me with my DREAM MAN! HA HA HA! <3 - Ange that's for you. I just waited around they were still kind of setting up, and it was really cool. Music playing in between bands, cool lights, although the venue was dumb it was still an awesome show.
Colette Trudeau came out. She was so cute. I wouldn't say she was SUPER good cause I'd be lying. As she was playing I kept hearing, "I'm affraid of Brittany Spears" HA HA! So yeah, it sort of ruined it. Her band members were supe cute. The bassist JUMPED on the speaker which was like SO high in the air, RIGHT beside me and I was scared it was going to fall over. BUT it didn't thank goodness. She did about 7 songs, was it? They weren't that bad. She was a cute little Avril and she has the same shoes as me, I was happy.
This is Colette - See I warned you she was a cutie!
Then Perfect Ground came out. I really like them. They always come in my work and I always say I should check them out because I remember how head over heals we all fell for them back in grade 8 when they played in our drama room. HA HA! They were SO awesome. I like them because they play the acoustic and everything. They are like Silverchair and I love that band. So I was impressed, yay a new band to support. (www.perfectground.com) ---> yep that's your que to go there.
I love the bassist of this band too. He's the dream guy I was talking about earlier. ANGE SHUT UP, His shortness doesn't bother me. I'm a little short person too. HA HA! we can have midget children together. But man, he's SUPER hot. I won't lie. They did 5 songs. Let me tell you, even ask Jenn. I was in love the whole time. I just stood there and starred. It was awesome. I could chill to their music. I've been listening to it a lot now. I love it so much.
(During the whole time they were playing Hedley was peering out the doorway)
This is the dream man (What's that I can hear Ange laughing)
This is the hottie that played guitar and made me lust!
So after Perfect Ground, it was about 10 minutes for Hedley to start. You know that feeling, "Man they are taking forever!!" THEN YAYY! I finally seen Dave. I love Dave. Then Jacob, Finally. He's always the last one on, and the first one on. It's kind of funny. They FINALLY began performing. IT was so awesome. I love the rush I get at Hedley shows. It rules. But the stupid Sardis cunts were beside me, mocking me the whole show. But I didn't let it ruin my night. They played SO many new songs. The old ones they played WERE: Trip, Saturday, Streetfight, and I THINK All you follow? Johnny Falls is my new favorite Hedley song. I love it so much. Brandon the old drummer was in the audience. He was observing the new band, He looked a bit upset. I felt bad. They were selling new Hedley shirts which came in Tank Tops, and Tee's. They have red font, that looks like the Iron Maiden font, but it supposed to be like, "The Bob" meaning Bob Marely. I love it. Finally, after numerous snot blowings, spittings, one in which landed right in my face, and slips in the split beer and water, Jacob sang my favorite GET HAPPY song, Streetfight. I loved it. Jenn and I screamed SO loud. He invited two girls onto the stage. And said if they stopped dancing, he'd stop singing and the band would stop playing. So they began. Then he told the audience to come up and dance. Everyone went up. I tried to convince Jenn to come up but she wouldn't. So I was like, "Eff it." I jumped on. GOT ON! And then the stupid effing guard told me to get down. I didn't at first. Bry, Erin's friend Jumped on with me. And he told me to get down again. so Bry got down first and then the man proceeded to push me off. I screamed "NO" then later after the song was over, I was like, "I hate you!" And he glared at me. I then walked around really pissed off because this band is my passion and that would have been so fun. FYI: At the next show I WILL get on that stage.

Tom - He always looks like he is having an orgasm when he's playing bass:
Dave - Looking OH SO CUTE - I couldn't rotate this one - DANG IT:
This is when Jacob fell in his own spilt beer and water, snot and spit:
I love this picture - The way it turned out was AWESOME:
Jacob when he fell again - Note Ange is in the background BACKSTAGE *jealous*
I walked around for a while. Checked everything out. Then Jenn and I went outside and watched the video of me freaking out on the guy and just laughed. Discussed the show. When Neville from Perfect Ground peeked out of the window and I was like, "Oh we don't want anything" HA HA! Then we walked around back and seen Brandon and Guys from Perfect Ground, and Brandon was like, "OW!" HA HA! He's my dream man so therefore I am conviced since him and Ange are friends, she paid him to do that. HA HA!
Jenn and I then proceeded on leaving, when Derek/Brandon the old Hedley drummer was RIGHT beside her car, talking about Jacob's stage presents now. When I was like, "The old Hedley. Is the only Hedley." It was awesome. Jenn pretended she needed to get stuff from her trunk, and I laughed. It was fun.
Then we went to McDonalds for some good eats and so I could tell people about my experience, both the good and the bad. I was choked about the end but so STOKED Hedley played Chilliwack. My ears rang all night. It hurt.
Next Show: June 17th - Jenn and Julia's night to celebrate School's outting. It's going to be awesome. We're going to go super early in the morning, since it is in Vancouver. We're going to go shop and get our t-shirst made for the Avril concert coming up in late July. Since tickets are for sale at the door, we're going to go early so we get good seats and tickets. Waiting in line is so fun, although I do get cranky. But thats a Julia thing.
Then the next night June 18th - Hedley plays White Rock. My friend Shoshanna and Krystie and I are going to this show. I think we might do an all day adventure for this one too. I have my ticket already to this show though, so we won't have to wait in line too much. But I want good seats for this one. So I will go in line early. This show is going to be amazing. Lots of fourmers going.
July 3rd is the next show after those two, and it's going to be an outdoor advent at a fair that happens every year. I see this show being like October 2nd, so I will camp out for this adventure again. I'm trying to convince Erika and Rachelle to come to this one. But I doubt they will. So Jenn will probably come. It will be alot of fun. Anyone interested camping out for Hedley? I will do it alone if I have too. HA HA! (Ange, this post is over. So I know what you're thinking, but always remember I love you! HA HA!)
I have a lot more pictures - thanks to Jenn. There's about 101 in total. I can let you see them if you want to see more. I also have a video.
If you guys read all the way to here - Thank you and I'm sorry I bored you with my passion.
