After we met Disashi we somehow lost
symmetry. She went to get some water and I dunno where she went, but we couldn't find her. I finally got ahold of her on her cell after we made our way down to main stage right to see Cobra Starship. The crowd was huge and she was somewhere in the pit. I dunno. It still kind of sucks because it was an experience I wanted us to share and DAMMIT I don't know how we managed to get seperated. lol. But ANYWAY.
After I get off the phone with her, we manage to get barricade at the far right side of the stage. Which sucked, but was a blessing in disguise. We could see the backstage area where we were and we saw Vicky-T and Suarez up there. Ryland's mom was there and she was running around mothering everone.
We saw Gabe walk up the ramp thingy to and go backstage and we yelled at him. Well, I did. lol. But he looked at us and waved. Layla held up the
Cobra Cane we brought for him. He got this huge grin on his face. We (once again) yelled at him and told him it was for him. He walked further backstage to where we couldn't see him and I thought they were getting ready to go on, but next thing you know, he comes down and starts talking to Ryland's mom. Then kind of saunters down to the barricade. Layla pushes past me and hands him the cane, to which he said "That's so awesome. Thank you!" He hugs Layla and tells us he's going to take it onstage with him.
By this time I'm freaking out and COMPLETELY FORGOT to get any pictures. lol. My brain froze.
He walks over to some other people and starts signing autographs so it looks like he didn't come down just for us, which he did XD
Ryland's mom was everywhere lol
I forgot pics but I did get a video of Gabe walking away with the cane.

LOL at Layla's squee of excitement. She is a Gabe Saporta girl through and through and it absolutely MADE her DAY.
I could have killed the girl standing beside us. You can hear her start to say 'Who is-' and then I cut it off. But she asked "Who is that?" I almost punched her in the face. Layla's jaw actually dropped when she asked us. I told her it was Gabe Saporta, the lead singer of Cobra Starship, and she was like "Oh, Cool!"
I just couldn't help but think, you're standing here to watch Cobra Starship, but you don't know who Gabe Saporta is?!? I almost told her to let me in front of her so I could get a better spot. lol.
So Cobra takes the stage and it's not Gabe, but ALEX who walks out with the Cobra Cane:

Halfway through Send My Love to the Dancefloor I look over to the TAI pit and see that it's getting bigger by the second, so I decide to make my way over to their pit to get a good spot. By this time I ended up losing
symmetry AND Layla.
I got a clip of Church while standing in the TAI pit. It's funny because you can clearly see the people were there and excited to see Cobra Starship. Layla is in that mob of people somewhere.

I managed to get a pic of Gabe and Bilvy during Snakes
Travie grabs the Cobra Cane when he comes out and starts waving it around. I freak out because my camera battery is dying and I want to save the juice for TAI.
symmetry got a good pic of it, though. And here's one I found online.
(If this is your pic, let me know so I can credit you!)
So that was my Cobra Warped experience. It was awesome even though I wasn't at their stage for their entire set, but at least I got to see them. LoL.
Oh, and we saw this at We The Kings merch tent when we were buying a WTK shirt. I wanted to get one because I just knew I was going to miss their set for some reason. And we did.
