i totally didn't spaz.... in front of him. *high five*
MY FUCKING CAMERA. CAMERAS SEEM TO DIE WHENEVER U REALLY NEED THEM. luckily it turned back on..but it ALMOST DIED right when i was posing with STEVE. holy shit. its like how my moms camera kept dying when we met Orlando. god.
sdkjfhksdjfhsdkjhfh he totally kept talking to us. like he wanted to talk to us. i thought he would be all annoyed. oh god he was so nice. ACUTALLY TALKING TO HIM. EYE CONTACT. THE WORKS. he's was so cute and like...quiet...! he had these awesome belts and boots too. ANWAYS.
Steve: "Hey! make sure you guys get a spot in the very front when we're on!"
alksdjlaskdjlaskjdla We. DID. and he waved @ us. oh god. we went on the right side (right in front of the freakin bass amp. yeah. i am deaf) and he kept coming on our side and kneeled that on that. waving. oh god. he didn't show the left side very much love. AKLJhsd
i dont wanna blow my own horn (hahahahahah) but seriously. i was the only one who knew who steve was. it was so weird tho. if we had done ANYTHING different we would've missed him. we almost went to starbucks BEFORE going to selland. holy shit.
in other news. i was being totally illegal last night. haha there was these two 22 year olds next to me on the floor. (i got the very front. go me) aaaaaaaaaaaaaand one of em was flirtin w/ me the WHOLE night. haha i was totally gonna ask him for some of his beer...but i forgot i was driving everyone home. but yeah. it was cute. we were cute. awwwwww. if some silly gooses (who kept startin the mosh pit behind us) bumped into me..he'd like "are you okay?" ..and and im like "WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! *head bangs*
buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut,. u know how that goes. aw. now im sad. but het. woot for college guys.
WAIT ERIKA. this is especially for you. there was this guy..and i saw him "walking" and he totally reminded me of PETE. i was cracking up. he was like behind us on the floor. HOLY SHIT. HE WAS SO STONED. HE WAS SO HIGH. OMG. it was the greatest thing EVER. he looked like a sandy haired Peter Doherty. omg.
aaaand i love weeezer. since the foo fighters didnt even wanna come...Rivers was all Fresno Representin..he was like "He's wack. thats just messed up" akljdaskljd the only thing is there was like NO ONE @ the concert..so im afraid they're gonna be like "PSH EFF FRESNO WE'RE NOT COMING BACK HERE" hopefully not. :(
OOKOKOKO IM GONNA TRY AND UPSHUT NOW. HDKLASKJHDS STEVE. all i wanted to do guys. was meet him! and..woah. Disneyland has some competition now....
ok summary:
- All i wanted to do was meet Steve Bays. and i did. and i didn't have to leave before weezer to go out and meet him.
- HHH was awesome live. i knew every song. awesome voice, steve. oh and the bassist got not hot and the guitarist got really hot. wtf?
- Weezer kicked ass. Rivers was high. and it was great.
- i have two wristbands on @ one time.
- since so many people were smoking, we like got semi-high...i shouldn't have been driving. oh god.
- college boys are better than high school ones.
- i love you all.
- now go look @ some pictures.
Crystal and Steve. taken by me. look @ him. he gets all close. and i appreciate that.
Me and STEVE!! WHOOASLDJASDKAJSDLKSAJDLAKSJD. ok ok. its so funny. cuz i think he like...has a hair ritual pre-show....woah i mean...pre-show hair ritual. haha. or he just washed it...cuz during the acutally show..his hair went *POOOF* and got back to its normal curliness.
woah. im still on my "concert diet" (according to ray) in other words im pretty much starving. and my arms are sore from leanin on the barricade all night. my ears are ringing from the bass amp. my throats sore.my legs are sore. ahhhhh how i love post concert sydrome.
