Okay. So before id typed out a list of stuff I wanted to blog about. and I started…but obviously have not finished. But this blog is soooo much more important.
The Big Exo Day
Got there about 3:45ish and met yin and lindy at the entrance, went in and saw Planet of the Stereos (used to be called The View) and lindy came with me to buy a tshirt. Unfortunately they only had one style in size 8, but it was still pretty cool. So bought that =) and saw some random ppl signing stuff and I didn’t know who they were so didn’t really care. I realised later that it was Pillar!!!!!!!! ARGH!
Walking back to yin and we saw chris in the crowd “how can you see him??? Ohh! I see him!” and couldn’t find yin for a while. And then we went to go line up for switchfoot coz the line was getting really long. Chris decided to buy a cd and I wanted a poster so went back to merch table and switchfoot came in!!!!!!!!! so got a lot of photos =) [although apparently of tim not jon…meh] and then went back to yin and lindy. Line moved in spurts and we were getting pretty close and then they left!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *bawls* ARGH!!!!!! Ran out to the back and was pretty near jon foreman as he walked out *squeals* chris took a photo but apparently missed and got his leg…
Were heaps disappointed but went to go line up for seats coz we didn’t want to be stuck with shoddy seats. First had to find our section…and I was starving by this time. So lindy and yin stood in line and chris and I looked for food. The only thing I could find was icecream. So stood in line for a while but that was really getting no where so we left and looked around some more [ohh! We got gummy bears from 103.2 but they were all ginger flavoured and really bad.] Found another ice cream place near the entrance for section c that was less crowded. So waited there for a bit and then realised gates were opening so ran back to our section and through the gates. They told us to walk past with our wristbands in the air. But that really wasn’t working. Lol.
An a bit of trouble finding yin and lindy but eventually did and sat down. We were all pretty hungry and there were some food places inside the stadium. So yin and chris went to get food, while lindy and I minded seats. Yin came back to tell us the line was really long, so we paid them and they got food for us (vegie pie for yin and I, fries for lindy and chris.)
During this time, LaCrea "sang" and that was pretty crap. But then……PILLAR
Zomg. They were AWESOME! Loved them and started writing down lyrics lol. They sang 9 songs. But I didn’t write down lyrics for 2 of them
Bring me down
Hypnotized
Sunday bloody Sunday (U2 cover apparently)
When tomorrow comes
Aftershock
Everything
Frontline
And I could have had the chance to meet them ARGH!!!!!!!!!
Big exo day house band was next. 10 ppl in the band. And I think they sang hillsong songs? It was really good coz the giant screens and lyrics on them at the bottom. So it was like a massive karaoke. Which was fun. I really liked the first 2 or 3 songs but then they started getting a bit slower.
Then talk by Reggie someone. And he was GREAT. Really good public speaker and made it funny. Well the beginning. After a while it got into the Christian stuff. But at the beginning not too much. Lots of "ai!, I got stuff, you got stuff, we ALLLL got stuff" which was really fun =) and many fat jokes at himself. Cant remember the first story. But the second one was about him going bungee jumping. And all his fat around his face. Lol. "you know how in the cartoons road runner stays in mid air for a bit and then drops…that actually happens!!!!!!" and then ppl got bibles. And some more talk. And then house band played again. And then these dancers filled in while ppl behind set up for.....
SWITCHFOOT
Started with Oh! Gravity (duh) loved it =)
Stars got all the lights off in the stadium and told everyone to look up at the stars. But it was a really cloudy night...so that didn’t work. So everyone got out their phones/cameras with the lights on. And he counted and all the cameras took a photo. So many flashes lol. I think lindy/chris has a photo =)
Dare you to move lots of crowd singing.
American dream this one was awesome. They had this bit where they stopped playing and stood completely still in whatever position they were in. For AGES. It was heaps awesome!!!! Everyone screaming their heads off. And then "this is my AUSTRALIAN dream" lots of screaming =)
Gone this one was ruined a little bit coz jon foreman kept saying the words instead of singing them. But was still good =)
This is your life YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Soooo wanted them to play this =))))) played guitar with his tongue which was both gross and cool at the same time.
Ammunition I think this is the song where he sang most of it while leaning over the mosh pit. But not sure...
We are one tonight and then some confusion if Shadow proves the sunshine started halfway. But turns out it was an interlude and then back to we are one tonight
On fire high pitched noises turned out to be harmonica which was pretty cool. But the coolest part was him running of the stage, down the side and to the seats. WHERE WE WERE STANDING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He ran to the block of seats next to ours. And everyone kind jumped over everything to get there. Was soooo cool =))))) Stood on the railings bit facing the mosh pit, singing. Was very awesome =) and chris took the opportunity to jump over the barriers while the guards were distracted. Smart chris.
Awakening and I predicted right that it was the last song. Sad =((( but was very nicely done
"we don’t like encores. We’re all friends here right. So from this bit on, this is the encore" which was cool. But its still fun screaming the band name till we they come back. Was funny that they specified that it was the encore. The encore was Meant to live which was a nice ending =)
And then it ended. With lots of screaming and cheering =). Group photo with chris’ camera. And then I realised I left my poster behind so ran back for that and chris had to go catch a train. Yin was trying to figure out where her dad was and we started walking to where lindys dad was coming.
"GUESS WHAT GUESS WHAT GUESS WHAT????"
"WE SAW SWITCHFOOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Was a bit high, like everyone else there. Running around and spinning in circles =) Got a call from yins dad and we had to walk back a bit. Convinced yins dad we were fine waiting and then skipped back to mountain. But lindys rents came so couldn’t go up that. (thanks for the lift)
All in all…
EXO DAY KICKED ASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Next up: snow patrol. Which is zomg. Tonight actually!!!!!!!! =))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
