So i forgot to put my concert review of the birthday massacre in here, sorry about that. I am making up for that right now lol.
I finally got to see one of my favorite bands who i never thought i was gonna get to see.....THE BIRTHDAY MASSACRE!!!!! Fuck yeah they rocked big time!!!
I will spare u all the details about how i got to the show like i usually do lol. Frankly because its long, dull, and boring lol. So ill start with when i got there.
Ill just say that i picked up Jennifer, Sylvia, Poptart (danielle). And Bruce met us there later. So i had lots of good company.
The concert was at a place called Club Havok. It was a pretty badass place. It was in what looked like an abandoned warehouse type building. But then when u go in its totally not what u expect, its so friggin awesome. Right when we walked in there is this tunnel that you have to go through and immediately poptart was like..."Man this would be so trippy if i was high right now and walking through this". HAHA. I agreed with her of course. So after the tunnel its the club and its really awesome looking. You enter from the right side of the stage, then walk into the dance floor. From there to the right is the bar and merch stand. And upstairs its like movie theater style seats and lounge areas. The VIP room is behind the stage. It had a nice mixture of people there. Different than what i normally see, it was really kool. The stage setup was really kool, the lights in the club were awesome too.
So right before the band comes on, i had to go outside to talk to booboo cause she called. And they are actually really kool about letting you go in and out of the building as much as you want. NO other place ive been to lets u do that for free lol. So i go back in and Bruce tells me some girl just came up to him and told him that she knew me and she said her name was Amanda. I kept trying to think who the hell do i know named amanda.....then i remembered. She came back after she saw i had come back in and said hi to me. I gave her a hug, told her i remembered her and its been a really long time. We got caught up. She said that she sorta kinda works for Havok as a prof. photographer. She said shes been there like every night for the past 2 weeks or so lol. Shes also in a band thats all synthesizers but theres like at least 3 people in the band, and i got to meet them too. There was her, Amanda, Ken, and some other guy i forget his name. And Amanda...sorry, but i forgot the name of ur band already lol. But i got ur number ill call ya and get it from ya again lol. Anyways i told her when they play there, which they are going to. I will be at their first show to support them. So that made me pretty happy i got to meet an old friend, who had totally changed since i last saw her, but shes pretty kool still, just like she was back in the day haha.
So on to the concert. The band was getting onstage, people were clapping and cheering, then BAM!!!! Chibi got onstage and the crowd got totally crazy. Gotta love that Chibi, hell i know i do haha. They opened with "Blue" which friggin ROCKED!!! And then Chibi broke the microphone haha. But its kool they got it fixed within a few minutes. Lol, this dude a little bit behind me yelled out to Chibi..."Hey chibi i have a question for you", Chibi replied "Ok what is it". He said "Can i have your babies....all of them". People started laughing and Chibi made a really funny cutesy face like she was sorta scared haha. It was all good and fun though. It didnt really seem like that long of a show, but it was still a really good show. They played all the songs i wanted them to. In Video Kid, i sang along really loud, and Chibi was pointing at me and staring at me a lot, cause i knew all the words, and was shaking and waving my hands up in the air with the song haha. So later the concert ended...BUT the night didnt end there.
Before the concert, me and poptart talked to Zimmy, one of the band members, who was working the merch table the whole time, and traded off different nights playing and working the merch stand. This night just happened to be one night he was the merch guy. Anyways we all became buddy buddy, and got some free stuff, and some other stuff. And he said the funniest thing to me....and we were joking around a bit about it....but i dont think i should repeat it haha. Its not for young innocent minds haha. But in case u read this Zimmy, remember this.....Pig Tails....UH UH!!!! hahahaha. yeah ok...enough of that. And next time u better have those bumber stickers that i know i saw lol.
After the concert was over, me and poptart, and jen got autographs and pics with the band members. Now i dont know how many they got or what they got, but i got all the members autographs on a poster i bought, and a picture with all of them. And thats not the best part. When i got Chibis picture taken with me, i got to kiss her on the cheek....BOOYAH!!!!!! I just simply asked her nicely, and she said sure that would be kool. So since i had to wait for jen to charge up the flash on the camera my lips were stuck to her cheek for a whole few seconds haha. I was in heaven every second lol. But i also wanna say that, all the band members are extremely EXTREMELY nice. They dont just stand there and wait for u to come up there and ask for an autograph. They will actually hold a conversation with you. I literally had at least a good 2 minute conversation with all the band members. And they were really nice about it. They did it to everyone, not just me. I have never been to a show, and stayed to get autographs and have all the members not only be out there to sign and take pictures, but also have a conversation with each person too. And there was literally still like about 75, maybe more people there. Talk about nice. So screw everyone that says fuck canada. At least this nice group of people, from Toronto, Canada, are friggin awesome. I say Canada Rules!!!! And so does THE BIRTHDAY MASSACRE!!!
