haha, read this, at least the last half. it's so worth it.
warning: if you don't approve of underage drinking you won't like this..ha
saturday saw fob in hartford with katie. they were great but DAMMIT WHY ARE CT CROWDS SO LAME? we didn't even have to try to get 2nd row. nobody got into it. the band could totally tell. highlight of the night was getting barricade for saturday and being in front of the confetti machine. katie and I got completely coated with it and couldn't even open our mouths because it was going down our throats. we were laughing like complete fuckfaces who had never seen anything shiny in our entire lives. it was awesome.
tuesday I was super late getting kim and she was having a panic attack waiting on some corner in nyc.
got her. got to jones beach as fast as possible.
first night was good. it was fun to just actually WATCH a fob show from seats for once. we had pretty good ones. the venue was so fucking cold though since it's on the water. mark hoppus threw one of pete's basses in the water. pete threw one of his in and had dirty dive in after. travis came out to open take over. during dance dance joe and pete went on this little center stage by the sound area in the middle of the audience and we ran over. joe threw his pick at kerri but it slipped through her fingers so I tried to pick it up but some drunk dude gave me this "BACK OFF IT'S MINE" look and my little non-confrontational self just went back to my seat. during saturday somebody must've smashed cake in pete's face and I almost died when I looked up and saw his face covered in icing with a bunch of confetti stuck in it. kerri was going to pete's birthday party and kim kept hinting she wanted to try and go but we talked about it and it was like, first of all, how do we get in? and second of all if we got in, wth would we do? stand around and gawk at fob for an hour then have to drive back to jones beach? sooo kim and I drove around and eventually found a 7/11 got a 12 pack then went back to our super classy econo lodge in HICKSVILLE (hahaaaa) and just drank/talked/imed people.
NOW FOR THE GOOD PART:
tuesday we drove towards holmdel and got to the venue like 6:15ish but had to walk practically 5 miles to the actual venue.
3 drink limit? not for catie and kim...oh no, we're way too clever for that. more like 9 drink limit on top of our left over beers from the previous night,
succesfully missed cobra all 3 times on the tour (I'm talented obviously). caught paul wall this time and tai were fucking amazinggggg.
plus 44 kinda boring but cool and the rock show cover couldn't compare to the cover of dammit they did the night before. I feel SO lucky to have been at the show they covered it at.
by the time fob came on I was pretty tanked. 4 or 5 beers in I believe.
SO INTO ITTTTT. yelled, danced, made a complete ass out of myself. kim and I screamed I LOVE ASHLEE SIMPSON WOOOOOO as soon as there was silence. tried to go forward past our seats (we were 15th row) during dance dance since the security was all paying attention to joe and pete who once again were on the little stage by the sound deck in the center. kim kept pulling me into a random aisle so security wouldn't see but I kept leaving to dance and the security guy at the front told us to go back. ha, I'm a moron.
saturday. OMMMFFFGGGG. we ran up. the security guy noticed us again but we ignored him. went into the third row center then climbed over some seats. pete came in.
I started yelling in my glamorous drunken tone:
FUCK YOU
I'M OVER HERE
LOOK AT ME
PETE
FUCK YOU
LOOK AT ME
towards the end of the song he finally looks down at me, smiles, laughs a little, puts out his hand towards mine and grabs it. we hold hands for about 5 seconds then kim gets in on the action and we all interlace our fingers before a bunch of girls start climbing up our backs to get to him. the song ends right afterwards and charlie comes out with the set list.
kim: CHARLIE
me: CHARLIE
kim: OVER HERE
me: CHARLIE WE'RE OVER HERE
etc..etc..
charlie: *points specifically at us* NO!
me: COME ON, JUST A LITTLE BIT, CHAAARLIE TEAR ME OFF A PIECE I JUST WANT A SLIVER, JUST A LITTLE RIP etc..
charlie: *death stare*
us: asshole
this girl behind us was hyper ventilating and crying, I just patted her on the shoulder and leaned in (probably stunk of beer) and said "it's okay, I know it's overwhelming" she probably wanted to punch me in the face. kim tried to help since she's a registered nurse but security were a bunch of asses.
kim and I stumbled our way out just in time to see the new guy from tai riding a golf cart so we followed it and VOILA.. we see tour busses in the distance around this corner and a bunch of fans waiting by a gate. hilarity ensued.
we see all of these people in red shirts grabbing brooms and going through the gate to clean and kim tells me to try and get a broom which are all propped up against this trailer. once the guy in the trailer turns and the security by the fence isn't paying attention I crouched down, ran over, and grabbed the first broom I saw. kim got the one by the tree and we casually walk behind the fence and towards the busses.
we turn the corner and see dirty standing outside of what seems to be fob's bus.
dirty: *shouting* SINCE WHEN DO EMPLOYEES GET TO WEAR FLIP FLOPS AND SHORTS??
kim and I walked over and proceeded to ask him a couple questions including me asking "hey dirty, so how's the kid?" he turned around a few times to shout to someone in the bus who sounded a lot like patrick. he's nice and we talk a little but then a guard comes up behind us.
security: what do you think you're doing?
me: *blank stare*
kim: *sweeping motion* we're going to sweep
security: nice try
me & kim: come onnn it was a good plan
security: you gotta go
dirty: yeah it took guts ladies, here, I'll ride back with you guys on the golf cart
we convinced the guard to admit our plan was brilliant and that nobody had ever tried it before. so they dropped us off at the gate where all of the fans were waiting and the guy drove dirty who knows where.
haha we weree sooo not obvious in our matching tai hoodies. psch, I love us.
the fans LOVED us as well hahaha. they're all "omg that was sooo cool let us in on your next plan!" they were all super impressed by our amazing stories and the fact we had seen them 3 times on this tour (7 times total for me, 8 for kim)
so then we went back to the hotel, drank some more, had a dicey phone call and passed out.
best night everrr.
I can't believe the road trip is over :(
I was too tanked to totally appreciate that I wasn't going to be seeing fob so regularly anymore. sadness.
I officially forgive pete for being an ass to me after the foe tour. again, I'm not one of those fans who thinks I am his soul mate because he made eye contact with me and grabbed specifically my hand BUT I think it's funny he acknowledged me since I was so completely belligerent and pretty damn determined.
if I could sum up wednesday night in one word: magical (hahahaaa)
I miss kim a lot and the woodland creature with big brown eyes and a BIG fluffy tail (yeah, still not sure where I am going with this kim)
