Kyle's drums made my pants move!
Alright... here goes, last David Cook recap of the year. *tear*
Soooo... I got up at 5 OClock in the freaking morning. *headdesk* I'm glad that part of DC shows is over. lol Woke my dad up, got out the door about a quarter after 6, picked up Steph and made our way to Skibland... I mean... Cleveland So anyway, we got there a little before 10am, behind 4 blondes. lol There was a crazy singing guy... idk I was ignoring him... refer to Stephs journal to hear about him. lol The store supervisor came out to tell us about Pass the Line... so we got som merch. I got an AWESOME Blues Brothers short that matches a pair of BB shorts I have... I'm very excited abou this. XD
So anyway, we then got herded like cattle into this little closed off cement alley.... where they kept us ALL day long. Amazingly enough we managed to make the best of it. Met some cool people, had fun convos, didn't get any writing donw like I wanted to. XD Steph got drunk... LOL Kidding, she did not. She had half a drink lol Also everyone was signing the brick walls and I signed mine Andy Skib's Baby Mama.... in honor of those who know why... and cuz I want to actually be. LOL
So they let us in, and Steph and I got the very exact spot we'd been wanting since we got tickets to this show. lol Last front row spot, right in front of one Mr Andy P Skib. My eyeline was level with his..... guitar... all night. XD Like honestly, I will never forget the image of that man right there in front of me rocking out. <3 Love him so much. But before that... while Phil Marshall was was GREAT. I could listen to that English fella talk all day. lol Plus I love me some acoustic guitar playing. And the boys were all over on the side, watching Phil and throwing picks. And this next sentence is dedicated to onepunkymisfit and faerie_vixen. I saw Neal and Andy talking to each other... like their faces were SO CLOSE together and they both started laughing and I was all: OH I MUST TELL THE GIRLS ABOUT THIS. LOL
So, the boys...Like, a couple songs in I saw Andy looking down at me and reading my sign. FYI, it was my "Dave, you have such full and luscious hair" sign from the State Fair, which I made say "You STILL have such full and luscious hair" XD So Andy's looking at me and I waved at him. XD And he just giggled and gave me a little head shake. LOL
Make Me... like idek. I still have no words. I had been trying to read the set list earlier and couldn't figure it all out so when Dave started talking about MWK days I was just like: O_O And then that little smile/nod he gave Andy and Andy was all: O_o... wha? OH... uh..OK O_O LMAO And like... HOLY SHIT PEOPLE... I saw saw Andy Fucking Skib sing Make Me right in front of me.... for those of you who saw my Twitter... you know the reaction I had. LOL Those of you who didn't... you prolly don't want to know anyway. XD But like.... god that was my freaking DREAM COME TRUE, okay? I'm starting to speak fangirl here. XD
So later, Dave was walking around the stage playing like a rockstar and came over to our side... right above me... O_O... but anyway... he looked down and read my sign and gave me the same exact face Andy had. LMAO Like.. I'm pretty sure they all think I'm really weird and psycho. XD Closed with I Did It For You... had never seen that one before... so amazing! And they all lined up playing at the end.... Except Kyle... poor drummers curse. XD But... well just when I thought Andy couldn't get any closer... he did. O_O Like... holy shit.... That hair flying all over the place and those hands on that guitar and that little smirk and... *thuds* Dave and Neal were there too... they were also hot. LMAO Neal actually greatly amused me with how much he was smiling an laughing during Phil on the side of the stage and then when he gets on stage he's all: Straight-faced bad ass guitar player. XD Dave's just perfect as usual. <3
So after the show, we decided to head out. We were both exhausted and sore. Yes some of the boys came out afterward, no I'm not gonna regret it. Neal was the only I haven't talked to and he didn't come out and.... that was the most amazing show I have ever seen in my life and I will never regret how everything went down.
I must tell the story of what happened in our room that night. XD So Steph and I are both on this insane high... acting like fools and looking at our pics and laughing and having a general fab time. So, she texts our friend that she did something she was ashamed of. (Which was take more pics of Andy then Dave btw LOL ) But our friend is like: What did Andy make you do? LOL So... this got me started... shocker I know. And I was like: Tell her he asked us not to tell anyone. So this started a back and forth which led to: Pictures or it didn't happen. Which led me to stuff pillows under the blanket of my bed and take my black shirt and splay it across my pillow to look like hair... and take a pic of it on my phone. Andy Skib was in my bed, okay? XD
I also need to tell you about the dream I had. I fell asleep in the car on the way home and I had this dream... I was in this big white space and there was this GIANT letter A... Like I was living on Sesame Street or something. Except, in the space in the middle of this A was that Andy Skib fella who has taken over my brain. He was just sitting there, leaning against the A. THEN... the giant A fell over on top of me, with me ended up standing in the middle empty space and Andy standing next to me... then I woke up. IDK... it was weird. LOL But clearly even my subconcious is in love with Andy Skib. XD
This may not be the best time to write this, as I am already crying over the shit that's going down in this house right now but... I must tell Steph I love her to pieces and I'm so glad I had someone to go through all this with. This year wouldn't have been nearly as much fun without you. Thank you for putting up with me through my panic attacks and my crazy parents and my bus racing. Stepholyn forever, okay? lol
Boys... thank you for giving me four nights this year I can think back on and smile... especially at moments like this when 15,000 other things are making me cry. <3 You've had a huge impact on me in a lot of ways, so thank you, I LOOOOOVE YOU ALL. <3
