So yea, yesterday was amazing. I called my mom about 232 times, then she finally came and we were off. Of course the directions Ticketmaster gave us took us to the restaurant. So then I made my sister scamper with me to the front entrance. AND THEN I REALIZED I DIDN'T HAVE MY TICKET CONFIRMATION. So I called my mom and ran across the street and got it from her. In the middle of the road even. Good job. And then we waited in the cold. And then we went in and I got my tickets from the same girl that I did for HOAR. And then we got all checked. And I love how they assume everything in the world is keys. It really does make me laugh. So I just stood in the middle of the room and decided I was in love with the old lady that was there. And the security guard with the lip piercing. I wanted pictures with both of them but my sister said she'd basically disown me if I asked. And then I watched Mo lots because Mo=love. And then I saw the boys leave from their uber good spot so I frolicked over there. And I was like in front of the barricade so it was awesome. Then this creepy man decided he wanted to stand right behind us. He thought he was sweet. And he talked to the boys that I stole the spot from. The boys also looked at the set list more than a few times. They basically wanted to cherish it forever or something. And there was this huge intimidating man that my sister and I called red man. We basically give names to everyone. So if you ever see us and call peopple names based on their shirt color, don't be surprised. And then I saw Chris so I waved and he was all "how are you, how have you been?" and stuff. And then we talked about how the Grog Shop is better. And he said that the Findlay show was weird. I don't know why, I didn't ask. And umm GOSH WE TALKED A LONG TIME, I DON'T REMEMBER WHAT ABOUT. I said something about Sammi so he looked over at her and smiled. And we talked more. And Chris was like "Ghostface Killah is playing next door!" "Yea..." "I want to go check him out." And we talked about Ghostface. Because Chris is ghetto. And then I got a hug WITH THE SUPER SOFT COAT. I want one, mine's just super puffy. No soft. And I got a picturee and then Chris said he had to go do something, but he'd be back. So then I saw Gregwood and I waved and he walked over. I've decided he's the most random man ever. Sometime during the concert he was behind the velvet rope and he pointed to his cheek. My sister and I don't know why, but we did it all night. But I asked him for a picture and before I took it with him I asked if he remembered my name. "Francis." "No...but you did call me Dwayne last time." "I'M FUNNY." "Yea...why do I always have to be a boy?" "Francis isn't always a boy! My friend's grandma's name was Francis Franseca, remember that." So we took the picture because we're sweet. Then he asked me who my favorite bass player was. And I told him I don't know, and asked him. So he pointed behind me and was like "That guy." "The Buddha statue." "Yep." And he looked so proud of himself. And I told him I'd have to get a picture of him with the statue because I'm sweet and he told me later. Then he kept air drumming. And they shut off a song and he was like "I'm sure everyone was happy about that except for me." And then he continued to drum. He basically wants to be PJ. And then he said he had to go do something, so yea. And then Versus the World came on and I watched them and danced. And they were good and yeaaa. And when they ended I went to go see Mo since he's my love. So first I went to the right because I thought that's where he'd be...no. It was No Use and Punchline. So I talked to the No Use merch guy. He apparently said hi and I thought he said what's up, so I shook my head meaning nothing. And he was like "No hi?" "I THOUGHT YOU SAID WHAT'S UP! Hi. What if I really were a jerk and wouldn't say hi to you?" "Some people do. I say hi to them and they just walk away." And then we talked about random stuff and I thought he was sweet so I asked him if I could have a picture with him. And he said he looks bad in pictures so he wouldn't take one with anyone. I bought this sweet shirt, and he asked me if I had two ones, and I said that I was going to tip him, but he said don't worry about it. So I found Mo on the other side. And the guy from VTW was there so I waved. Then I said hi to Mo and he said what's up. And we talked. Then somehow it got to me telling him that I had met him in December with TFD and such. And he said "Hmmm...I always feel bad for not remembering people, but then I realize that we only come to your town for one day, but we're on tour for a month." "Well, I hung out with Peter like all night." "I REMEMBER YOU. That was like our first day and we were still getting to know eachother and stuff." And I was happy, so I asked him for a hug. Let me just tell you Mo is the best hugger ever. I loved it. So I got a picture and his friend, who's name started with an N took it. And said it was cute. So basically, I want that picture. And then I got a CD and yea. He wants me to go to the show in May I've decided. So I may go just for him. Then I asked for a shirt because I decided I needed one, so it was 12 and I gave him a 20 and he gave me ten back and just smiled. I basically love that man to death. And then I told him I'd probably be back. So I went back to my sister but some lame girl stole my spot. SO I HAD TO STAND SECOND ROW FOR IATA. I put my stuff right in front of the barrier and Nick gave me a weird look. IATA was great and Mo was around the whole time because he's sweet. And I only knew one song, but I sang really loud for that one. And the cool kid next to me knew all of them. The guy who was in front of me said the old lady was his aunt. I awed for about forever. Lame girl got pushed over the velvet rope. So Nick saved her. Nick's pretty cool I guess. And don't ask me how I know his name, because I don't remember. Chris also saved the show because one of the guys' guitar straps came off. So he put it right back on and smiled. PJ basically practiced drumming/warmed up the entire set. He's a dedicated man. So after they were done the lame girl left so I got my in front of the barrier spot back. And Gregwood came over so I asked him if he remembered my name. "Dwayne Francis!" So Nick goes "He's good." Haha, EXCEPT IT'S MY FAKE NAME. Then Nick put lots of drinks on the speaker that clearly said something about not putting food or drinks on it. So Gregwood laughed at pointed at it, but Nick just shrugged. Nick's basically a rebel. And so the sweet kid next to my sister asked Gregwood if they were playing "Play" so he said "You're getting one of your two wishes." So I asked if they were playing "Flashlight" and he said "YOU'RE NOT GETTING ANY OF YOURS." Haha. So someone put the set list down and I cheated and looked at it. And the cool kid looked at it about 232 times. I pointed out "Play" to him. And he asked what the last one was because it said <3 XPLANT. And I told him. Because I'm sweet and understand Punchline language. Or something. During this whole ordeal Steve walked by about 1023 times, and hit me all of the times. And said things like "Excuse me miss," half of them. HAHAH JAY-Z. So they decided to start and I basically danced the entire time and screamed my lungs out. And PJ randomly smiled at me so huge. PJ has the funniest faces when he drums and I love it. And during one of the songs Gregwood looked at me and smiled because I was singing so good I guess. And this uber drunk guy was intentionally spilling his drink on Mo's friend so she confronted him. She's hardcore and I like her. So the guy offered the drink to Greg and I was like "He's def not going to take that." So he offered it to Steve and Steve said no thanks. So I got like 12 pictures during Punchline. And they were good because front=sweet. And some girl only knew Punchline because they were on the Punk vs. Emo comp or something. AND WHEN THEY PLAYED PLAY THE KID GOT SO EXCITED. I love him. So they ended. And I found PJ after hanging around and getting scared by the No Use fans. I asked him for a picture then saw he had about 123 things so I said I could wait. But he said it would take a while so we should just get it now. So we took the picture after he put all his stuff down. Then I went to go get something for VTW. And my sister was folding my shirts. So Donald said something about it and my sister said they were all mine. And he got a shocked look and looked at me and said "you're a music supporter and I love you." So he hugged me. And I got a free sticker and pin from him. And we got a T-Shirt and CD. So he showed me his sweet tattoo because I'm a music supporter or something. We talked about how my mom claims I'm a mexican, then he asked how old I was, so he told me "Good, I can't be your dad." Haha, because my entire family also claims that I'm adopted. He asked if I had a myspace and told me his personal link..that I somehow remembered. And he said "Do you know Mo?" So I said "Yea..." Mo: "...we go way back!" Hahaa. And we talked to Donald foreverrrr. And I got a picture with him. And I gave him a dollar for his tip jar. And he hugged me again. HUGS ARE LOVE. I've hugged too many people. Anyway so then I gave Mo a dollar, then went back by my sweet friend and gave him a dollar. Donald made me go watch No Use even though I could hear them just fine. He said if I didn't like them I could kick him in the shin. So I watched like two songs. Me and Donald talked for like 10 minutes, but the only one I can remember conversation with is effing Gregwood. And then I decided I need 5 Pline shirts so I bought the Punchline is Nasty one. From John Smith. John Smith looked like he was 10. No really. But he smoked. But I ran out of dollars so I didn't give him one. And I got a sticker and a CD. And then I just stood around. THEN THE GHOSTFACE KILLAH PEOPLE CAME OUT. And they scared me. And there was this table of just camafloge shirts so I called them the camafloge gang. Chris was in the camafloge gang. And so I kind of ran away. And all the Ghostface fans came on our side because we're sweeter. I asked Steve for a picture and he apparently is the only one who didn't remember me, so I told him we had already met 2 other times and he said I was an angsty teenager or something along those lines. Haha, he's lucky I like him. And there was this kid we called the blue man who thought his bought was freaking hot. No seriously, I've decided that he did. He kept sticking it out. Then Gregwood found me so he said "You need your picture!" So we went and took it. After getting hit by a table of course. It was sweet. And it better turn out. And I took a picture with someone from IATA. I don't know their names. : /. And yea.
It was sweet. And then I apparently was standing next to Ghostface before I left. And I saw Mo pushing the dolly around forever. I loooooove him. And my friend (No Use merch guy) gave Ghostface a hoodie. Because Ghostface rules the earth.
