Ok well Carrie said I had to make this entry full of details, otherwise she would hurt me. So here ya go Carrie:
NESSA'S TRIP TO SEE LETTER KILLS (its epic)
It started off by taking the train into NYC. I met up with my friend Jess and together with my friends Angie and Gina. We took the subway down to lower manhattan and walked over to the venue. This was at 6.25 pm for an 8 pm show, which we were the first ones there! It was like wtf. Anyways Matt walked by us wearing a brown sweater and jeans, with green shoes (good carrie?). He smiled and I waved hello and he was like "you guys even beat me to the venue!" It was cute! Paul walked by a bit and smiled, waving at me.
At 8 they let people in and there were like...20 people in line. They were checking IDs cause it was an 18+ show, which thank god I am 18, and also a little weird. So we placed ourselves, right up front where Matt's mic stand was. We looked at the set list (yes I called dibs so I have it) and the set list goes like this (I stole it, it's pretty much destroyed as well):
Lights Out
Carry You
Whatever It Takes
Brand New Man
Clock Is Down
Hold My Heart
Time Marches On
Don't Believe
Shot To The Chest
So the band walks on stage, and I say hey to them all, and they all smile and say hey back, cept matt rubbed my hair. I was like thanks....and then the show starts. AMAZING stage presence as usual. And with only 80-100 people in the room, most of them older guys in suits (we learned the show was an label/exhibition show cause LA Reid, President of Arista/owner of Island was there talking to them after). Matt stands in front of us and we had to step back so not to get punched in the head, head butted, slapped with the mic chord (ya it still happened like 3 times). He gets up right in angie's face, singing to her and takes her glasses moving them up and down her face (SO FUNNY ANGIE) and then looks right at me, while I sing along. Twas kinda creepy because 1. not only was matt RIGHT IN MY FORKING FACE there were like 6 video guys and photographers snapping away. So he actually completley slipped on water that was spilled on the stage and I swear I thought Angie and I were going get kicked in the face. Then Matt kinda rolled over onto his back so all of his weight was on his neck, followed by jumping onto the drum set.
Brand New Man starts and since thats my favorite song, I started singing loud and proud. Matt smiled and looked down at me and singing. Carrie you are right, when he sings looking at you, it's like he's singing right to you. He lenaed down in front staring at my friend and singing right at her, while he's got his hand on my head...again. The song ends and he's drinking his water, then the song starts and he chucks the water. It like fucking hit angie in the chest, which bounced off and nailed me HARD in the face. Kinda took me off guard and it hurt alot! My face still hurts now. But he leaned over a bit later, and sang a bit to me so I forgave him.
Don't Believe comes on and matt jumps up onto the drums, grabs the pipe above and starts swinging. We all thought he was going to kick Paul right in the face. After getting fully up to the ceiling with his swinging, he jumped down and starts singing to people again. The other mic stand got knocked over and nailed some kid in the face as well. It looked painful. He's entertaining the crowd, and then comes back, leaning down singing to angie again, resting his hand on my shoulder. I'm looking right at him singing along (picture below!). Song breaks and right before the last song, Matt leans in front of gina with his devilish smirk on his face. and them BOOM, spits a whole thing of water into her face. I know call her spit girl! It was THE FUNNIEST THING EVER. Shes all like "HGIAHFAGFA!!" Show ends on an amazing note. Best show of LK I've seen.
After Paul signs a drumstick and hands it to me, smiling. We got pictures with him and kinda mosed around. I like Kyle and Dustin were in kinda bad moods so we didn't really interact much with them. Matt's there, eating a lollipop, shirt opened and he starts talking to us. We get pictures, he signs blah blah and then he said he'd be back and walked off. Then I hear "Nessa?" and I turn around and JANET IS BEHIND ME! It was so good to see her and I'm so glad she came. I gave her a massive hug and we talked for a little. I need to e-mail her my contact info and hugged her goodbye. We head for the door and Matt's there in a wife beater and he hugs me, and i remembered "Carrie says hello". He looked at me, knew the name sounded familiar and smiled. He says "Hey carrie, hope to see you soon!". Hugged Matt bye and then ran off to grand central. Here are two pics. First one is the one of me looking at matt, his hand on my shoulder and singing to angie.
and this is angie with the band (minus Kyle)
More pictures later I swear! Carrie did I do this justice :)
