Very long, EVERYONE READ ALL OF THIS :D
ugfhfdh???!!
dgspgg.
I think what I'm trying to say is "Am I dead yet, is this heaven?"
because it sure feels like it.
OKay, I'm going to try to write a coherent entry. I WILL forget a bunch of details though...
Here goes nothing.
First, I'd like to add that I've never been so excited about a concert in my entire life. Seriously, even two weeks before I was freaking out. I just had a feeling that something good was going to happen. It did.
I could not concentrate during my english class. I had a test and it was so hard to write my paper. When I left college, I was smiling all the time and almost jumping around.
I got there at 3pm. The line was quite short, to my great surprise. Couldn't find Jenny, so I went to the front of the line... eventually I asked the girls in the front if they had seen Jenny and they told me she got there at 10am then left with another girl and a big fat dude, lmao.
When they got back, I learned big fat dude is "Big Sexy", a roadie. Apparently he was looking for a FutureShop to buy a DVD, so they took him there. The other girl was Steph, someone Jenny met in the line. And they both got a free t-shirt... and oh well, it's their story. ;P
... we went to La Cremière in front of the Metropolis with Big Sexy. The girls were trying to explain what a barbotine is, I think. Which is what he got. Jenny told Big Sexy I was "that hot asian chick" or something like that and thank god I wasn't drinking or eating anything because if I had something in my mouth at that point I probably would have choked. Lmfao. Big Sexy said I was cute and he liked the way I dressed. *snorts* XD
Anyways, Jenny told me she had met Pete earlier! But I wasn't too upset, I knew I'd probably find him after the show. We went to the area where the buses are with Rose (casser), Steph and Jade... I waved to Tom from The Starting Line, who was on his cellphone. We saw Kenny from TSL on his cell, too. Said hi to Justin from Motion City Soundtrack when he walked by us. We saw Panic! At The Disco in their pyjama pants (hahahaa) unloading their stuff and we asked if we could help, but they said no thanks. :x We also saw Joe and Patrick at one point, right outside their buses. But we couldn't talk to them because some asshole told us not to approach them. :P
Chatted with two guys from Boys Night Out, too.
Then we went back in line. They let us in at 5:30, on time!! First row, baby! In the center except slightly on the right side. And the show started at 6pm, not 7pm, which is what was written on our tickets.
Panic! At The Disco
They fucking rocked! I danced as much as I could in my very tiny space. :] Lots of eyecontact with Brendan, it felt like I was really singing all the words with him.
Setlist: (right order)
- The Only Difference Between Martyrdom And Suicide Is Press Coverage
- But It's Better If You Do
- I Write Sins Not Tragedies
- Lying Is The Most Fun A Girl Can Have Without Taking Her Clothes Off
- It's Time To Dance
So. much. fun!
I'd chime in "Haven't you people ever heard of closing a goddamn door?!"
No, it's much better to face these kind of things with a sense of poise and rationality.
Boys Night Out
They were good. I recognized some of their songs, but didn't know their lyrics, except for the last one, Composing. And one member is a girl, wah?! :P Jenny left after them, because it was fucking hard to breathe, we were squished against the barrier. I almost left, too. But I didn't because...
Motion City Soundtrack
Amazing, again. Even better than Warped Tour. Justin is crazy, his hair is crazy. Matt is adorable.
Setlist: (a security guard gave me their setlist :D)
- Better Open The Door
- Everything Is Alright
- Boombox Generation
- Capital H
- Time Turned Fragile
- Attractive Today
- When You're Around
- The Future Freaks Me Out
- My Favorite Accident
I was nervous from the start that our muscles might tear us apart
(Are muscles tearing us apart?)
From the words that carve our lives to the words that take us by surprise
(I was never taken by surprise.)
From the sounds that disappear to the changes we begin to fear
(I can hear you clearly.)
One day I'll fail to breathe and all you'll have are memories
(All we are are memories.)
The Starting Line
They were really good too. Kenny did these weird dance movements and stuff. Strange little dude.
Setlist:
- Surprise Surprise
- Best Of Me
- Inspired Of $
- Ready
- A Goodnight's Sleep
- Given The Chance
- Bedroom Talk
- Autography
Fall Out Boy
It started to get really freaking crazy at that point. Worse than before. I was dyiiing. Now that I think about it, it was nice when the security guards sprayed water on us.
Setlist: (pretty sure about the order...)
Act 1:
- Our Lawyers Made Us Change The Title Of This Song So We Wouldn't Be Sued
- Homesick At Spacecamp
- Dead On Arrival
- Sugar We're Going Down (Pete: scream the name of the person you think about late at night! ;))
- Chicago Is So Two Years Ago (with Justin from MCS)
- Nobody Puts Baby In The Corner
- Of All The Gin Joints In All The World
And at that point I asked the security guard to pull me out. Even though Pete asked the crowd to take two steps back, it didn't help at all. So yeah, I got out. And Pete looked at me when I was being pulled out. :p I looked like shit, hair and clothes all wet. Mostly from water, though.
Intermission.
During that and act 2, I was wandering around. After I got out I was hanging out next to the P!ATD/Clandestine Industries/FOB merchbooth and Brendan and Ryan were there so I took a picture with them, they were sweet. :)
Then I went to the MCS/BNO/TSL merchbooth, bought a blue MCS shirt, two wristbands. Jade and these two other girls (I can't remember their names... oops) were there and we talked. At one point Joshua was there so we chatted with him, he signed my CD booklet and we all took a picture with him. He's a really cool dude.
Anyways the setlist for Act 2 is the following... I'm almost sure!
- Dance Dance
- I Slept With Someone In Fall Out Boy And All I Got Was This Stupid Song Written About Me
- A Little Less Sixteen Candles A Little More "Touch Me"
- XO
- Tell That Mick He Just Made My List Of Things To Do Today
- Grand Theft Autumn (I'm assuming they played it, but I wasn't there if they did)
- Grenade Jumper
- Moving Pictures
- Saturday
I went back to Jade and the girls after that and we waited for Steph, Jenny, Owen... I saw Viv (forcemysmile) coming out, and I wanted to say hi, but there were just too many people.
Finally found Jenny and Owen next to the Clandestine/P!ATD booth. I bought Jenny a MCS shirt as an early birthday present.
We went outside, it was only 10pm. Jenny, Owen and Eric left because they had class early the next day, but I decided to stay. Waited with Steph by the buses. Then the asshole told us to stay on the sidewalk, not on the street and make a single file if we wanted to see Pete.
First thing I told Pete was hi, obviously but after the conversation went something like this:
Me: "Alright... I made this shirt but it got all ruined because I got sweaty and wet, being in the front row."
*opens hoodie, shows t-shirt*
Pete: PORN NINJA!! That's awesome! *insert giggle here*
*insert Pete hugging me even though I didn't ask for it haha, and Andy joining us*
M: 'Kay, this is for you. *hands "book" with lyrics* Read it later!
P: Can I keep it?
M: ... yes! And um, I'm gonna be annoying and also ask you for your autograph and a picture.
P: Sure! *signs CD booklet*
Steph takes the picture, with Andy who just got there, gets in the picture and Pete says "hey you!"
... I love Pete Wentz even more now. He was so fucking adorable and nice. And he is pretty short! But very huggable. ;D
Then asshole says "okay okay, leave now" I wanted to wait for Steph and her friends so I went to the side a bit.. like behind Andy. And while I was there, I got him to sign the CD booklet too, lol.
Asshole guy asked me again to leave, so I did. -_- Waited for everyone to be done. Steph's friends left so it was just the two of us.. what to do, what to do? Hang out some more, of course!
Next thing we did was... SAVE KENNY (lead singer/bassist from TSL)!! No no, I'm serious here. We were walking around the buses and we see Kenny talking to this dude. We stopped. At first we thought the guy was a roadie or something but then when he started to talk about weed and dealers, we understood it was a very drunk dude. Kenny was like trying to stay calm and talk to him and being like "uhuh..." but then I think he got fed up and told us "hey uh, let's go do our thing, you know?"
It was very hard not to crack up. Aaanyways, we started walking away from weird dude with Kenny and we got lucky, Big Sexy found us and got the dude to leave. We talked with Kenny a bit and we took a picture with him. :]
After that, we walked on the street and we saw the P!ATD guys at the restaurant/bar right next to the Metropolis, so we got in. We sat down on the stools and talked to Spencer (bassist) because he was all alone, poor baby, since the other guys were at the counter waiting for their food. We chatted with him about Montreal, touring and everything else. Really, really nice guy! Then the other guys sat down, too.
We shook everyone's hand, including their roadie Dan and we just talked. We talked about how Montreal is so cool because you're legal at 18 and not 21 and Brendan was like "Yeah!! I can get in everywhere here and they don't even card me whereas in the states I can't go anywhere!" Brendan was also really enjoying the music in the bar next to the restaurant and he was singing along. We talked about poutine, too, 'cause Dan was eating one and everyone was like "yeah that thing's delicious!" I got up to get an iced tea at one point.. I finally realized that I hadn't eaten anything since the morning, too. But I didn't get anything to eat. ;x I wasn't even hungry, for some reason.
Also, Matt from MCS got in the restaurant and all and he asked everyone "HAVE YOU TRIED THE POUTINE?!?! IT'S GREAT!!" :P I did not ask for a picture or autograph because he obviously wasn't there to see fans but his friends. However, I could not help staring at him. I mean, he's a really good looking guy. Mm emo hair and lipring!
After a while, we decided to go and walk around. That's when we saw Tony from MCS walking in front of us, all alone and looking a bit lost..
We walked up to him and asked if he was lost and he said "not really, just wandering around... looking for candy." So, we escorted him to a dépanneur so he could buy his candy. Super cool dude, too. We went back to the bus area again with him and there was this group of five girls who were obviously very fangirly and excited and shit. They asked Tony for an autograph. Jesse came out of the MCS bus and signed autographs too. Again, I didn't ask for that but I did, however, had to ask Jesse for a picture. ;p After thanking them both and telling them again they rocked, they went back to their bus.
Oh, Tony signed Steph's paper and said "thanks for helping me find candy!", lol.
We chatted with the girls who were all like "Have you seen Justin!!?!??!? we wanna meet him!!" When I told them I saw him walking on the street while we were in the restaurant with P!ATD they gasped and got all excited. Ooookay.
What happened after that? *slaps forehead, tries to remember* Um. I know at one point these two young guys (in their 20's) who were half-drunk asked us how the show was (they didn't even know who was playing), told us we were hot and wanted to take us to the Loft. Uh, no. We weren't scared because we were between two buses and some roadies were hanging around so they couldn't have done anything funny. :P
Another time we saw Kenny walk by again and asked him if he saw the mad dude again and he was like "thank god, no! He was scary!" and I think Kenny was pretty drunk himself then. Lol.
At the end, we saw Big Sexy again and Steph said she got Andy's drumstick and he asked if I had gotten one and when I said no he asked if I wanted one, I said sure, and he gave me The Starting Line's drumstick. ;P Nothing's written on it, it's just used, but I don't care. It was so nice of him!
We finally really left at 12:30. And I got home at around 1am.
Over two hours of hanging out with some of the coolest guys ever. I have bruises EVERYWHERE, especially my hips, which are all red, and my boobs and legs and arms seriously hurt but who cares, I had so much fun I'm jealous of myself. If that's even possible. I did everything I wanted to do, and more. Usually, after a concert or anything great, there's always regret. Because I was too shy and there's something I could have/should have done but didn't do. No regret this time. I just... decided to change and stop being shy. Especially with guys from bands because hey, these are not people I'm going to see everyday so there might not be another time.
I had so much fun.
Yesterday, I felt special.
Turn off the lights and turn off the shyness
dgspgg.
I think what I'm trying to say is "Am I dead yet, is this heaven?"
