The Fray, Darien Lake, June 17, etc etc
O HELO WORLD. I figure it's high time I write my review. I'm pretty sleepy right now, so bear with me. Bare? Whaevereretever.
Sooooooooo. Jefsie and I left at like.... early. And started our long drive to the middle of nowhere. We entertained ourselved by discussing 2gether, and putting our ~*~own twists~*~ on the episodes ("I have to go now... where are my Levi's?"). We also listened to a lot of Spring Awakening. ("I know I'm all religious and everything, but I am pro-choice. *points haughtily to self* My choice."). And Jefsie almost drove off the side of the road twice. The first time was because she was brushing crumbs off of her leg, the second time was because she was looking at the car in the rear view mirror and thinking about how the front of the car looked like "a nose with two little mustaches." Direct quote.
I'll throw in some pictures to ~*~spice things up~*~*~. I don't feel like resizing anything, so plz excuse.
Rest stop.
One of the many GLORIOUS paintings.
Back on the road.
We get closer...
The "WHERE IN THE HELL ARE WE" faces start.
We get to our motel. Which is really like a house, and it's a 12 year old boy signing us in.
And those are all the pictures I have for ~*~before the show~*~. Not counting some pictures I took on other cameras, but I need to develop film. SO I WILL CONTINUE WITH MY TALE~*~
We got food, Jefsie got air for her tire, probably maybe did some other stuff, and went over to the venue. Which was a friggin amusement park.
I took these the next day when we were leaving, but we'll post them here anyway.
OKAY. This was at about 1pm. We went in and it was all confusing with people telling us where we can and can't park, and we eventually parked closer to where the concert was going to be. UMMMMMMM. Then it was hours and hours of waiting in burning sun. Basically. I DON'T WANT TO GET INTO IT okay. Because of this, I just didn't care about bringing in my camera. Even though it was allowed. But you can never trust people who say cameras are allowed, and I didn't care enough to hide mine. It was just... bad times. BUT. By the time it started to cool down a touch, I started feeling better. OH, and when we finally got to where they'd be letting people in (we were originally told to wait somewhere else- psssshhh), Rod went jogging by. ................................. in like, 100 degree weather. JOGGING. Why. He looked at us strangely, but honestly, you're weirder than us, buddy. Whatever. When other people started coming, I heard these girls all like:
Girl 1: Have you seen the Fray before?
Girl 2: No!
Girl 3: I've seen them twice :) they're rly good :)
Jefsie and I were like "TWICE OMG NO WAI >:-o"
Anywho. We fiiiinally got let in, and I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO PEE!!!! The closest porta potty to where we were waiting was like... farrrrr away, and I didn't want people to be let in while I was gone. You know how it is. So yeah, Jefsie went straight for front row, I went to the bathroom and then caught up with her. There really weren't very many people in the GA pit at that point, so it was no problem. I left and got water for the two of us, and it was SPECTACULAR! lolz. UMMMM. So. We stood around. The first band to go on was Mae. They were decent. I had a lot of fun watching the bassist. He's kind of hard to describe... let me see if I can find a picture.... okay, the picture's not working out. But he'd just kind of gaze out into the audience with droopy eyes. He was fun. UMMM then more standing.
Then Ok Go. :) I quite like the lead singer. Kind of Mick Jagger looking, yah? Well, he kept talking about the "lawn people," all like "HOW ARE YOU DOING BACK THERE, LAWN PEOPLE" and whatnot, and so then in the middle of a song, he jumped down onto this little platform thing, and then into the audience, right next to me and Jefsie and we were like *TRIES NOT TO GET WHACKED IN THE HEAD* and he just kept running all the way back to the lawn, and sang the song from back there. Which was weird. People kept looking back and forth from the stage to the lawn and looked all confused. hahahaha. And then he ran back, looking all worn out, and said how there were a lot of gates he had to jump over. And he apologized for anyone he hurt in the process. I think he said he knocked a gate on someone, idk. Anywho. Here's a video 4u~*~
Made by Jefsie. All of the pictures are from her, too! The concerts ones, I mean.
Here are the Ok Go picturessss. (Jefsie, I'm totally stealing your links, I hope that's alright grl ;) )
OH, DID I MENTION THAT THE STAGE WAS RIDICULOUSLY HIGH? Because it was.
Thennnnnn... more waiting. And THENNNNNNNNNN
DUNDUDNDUDNDDUNDDUDDUN
DUNNNNNNN DUNUDNDUDNDUDNDUDND
DUNN!!!! DUN!
Then came a LIGHT!! MUCH LIKE THE GREEN ONE YOU SEE IN THIS PICTURE
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
And then came the people in said picture. And then ALL AT ONCE!!jkjadshfgjk/
Oh, what a start. They even had the beepy noises to go along with the light before they came out. IT BUILT SUCH SUSPENSE lolol.
I'm pretty sure these next few are all All At Once. :)
YES DAVE YES lolol one of the things I love most about all of these fancy lights is that now instead of Isaac just POINTING at Dave for his solos, WE GET FANCY LIGHTS!!! They manage to make the other guys disappear and it's just like BEHOLD THE POWER OF DAVE
O HAI ISAAC U BLUR OF LIGHT U
ABSOFUCKIGHNLUTE!!
Not that I like that song or anything. I mean, WHO WOULD?!
SING IT
Absolute got some CRAAAAAZY lights. I DON'T KNOW WHY, I MEAN, WHO LIKES THAT SONG ANYWAY
Here's an Absolute video :):)::):)):):)::)) One that kind of makes my life, idk.
I think the quality is a bit better on facebook, so watch there if you want! I'd also be very happy to send the file over aim.
So like... yeah. That song was kind of the best part of the show for me. One of the best parts, anyway. OR JUST THE BEST. I was kind of waiting for Isaac to look down and do one of those HOW DO YOU KNOW THE WORDS looks, but I don't think he noticed. hahahaha.
Moving on!
The one lonely Joe picture.
DIXIEEEEEEEE love u. Joe might've noticed my singing, but probably not. He was a bit far. And when he was all "this one's called Dixie," it was like, COMPLETE SILENCE lolol so I was just like *CLAPS.* And I heard a girl like "what did he say this one was called?" DIXIE U FOOLZ! There was another moment where Isaac introduced Dave and it was far too quiet. GODDDDD people.
Wait, okay, before they did Dixie, I am PRETTY SURE this is when Isaac was like, "Joe, tell everyone what we did today." Joe started to talk about going to the amusement park, which was when Jefsie and I were all JDKFHGDRJFH I KNEW IT!! Because, you know. While waiting out in the blistering sun, we were like "they are so obviously at the amusement park right now." LOOOOOL. But anyway, so then Isaac cut in and was like "no, not that one, the sling shot one... where we were in that... tight... space together... it was intense." And he said it really slow to make it seem way worse than it was, hahahaha. And then Isaac started to tell this story about how they were walking across the parking lot earlier and only saw one car at 3pm (...................) and they got nervous that no one was coming, and so they decided to go talk to the kids and thank them for coming out so early, and they were like "are you custodians?" .......... And Isaac said that they were like *in slightly hurt, uncomfortable voice* "no.. we're in The Fray..." hahahahahahhaaha. So OKAY. That was funny but at the same time NOT AT AT ALL because WHY DID THEY NOT COME TALK TO US whywhwwhwhwywhwyhy. We figured out what parking lot they must've meant, though. There was this small gated in one, next to the one where we parked. And next to where we were standing all day. So. YEAH. ANYWAY MOVING ON lol.
Obviously I now need to put in this video.
It's all at our venue, and about half of it was them at the amusement park. SO IT'S ONLY FITTING TO INSERT IT HERE. hahahaha in the car coming home, I asked Della to describe the new video blog to me (I had a feeling it would be about the amusement park and whatnot), and she was describing the rides that Joe and Isaac were on, and we were like LOOOOOOOOOOL.
But back to the show!
Typical Isaac pose.
o hai Joe, almost didn't c u thar
HTSALLLL. So purdy.
OKAY HELO EVERYBODY LISTEN UP. Happiness... live... as a group... >>>>> Happiness as a solo. ILY ISAAC but seriously. I was not prepared. I mean, I heard it on the phone when Della called me for it, and there is that Rod video online of the end of the song... but SERIOUSLY. It was incredible. Sososososo good. And the way they've changed it around... I absolutely love it. And I love that they picked the "damn near destroys you" verse to make all... STRONG. I don't know how to explain it. BUT I am calling Chandra for it next time, AAAAAND making a video. So GET READY.
Oh, I also liked that I could finally see Ben. Jefsie and I were just FILLLLLED with Happiness. .... okay, I honestly didn't mean for the pun. I didn't mean to capitalize it, either. I just now noticed.
Jefsie was all "YEAH BEN" a few times, and then some girl behind us called out his name. hahahaha, in a "WELL, IF ONE OF THEM IS NAMED BEN.." kind of way.
AND THEN
DUN
DUN
DUNNNN
HIPS DON'T LIE
We were obviously getting giggly way before the song even started.
YAHHHHHHHHHHHH
Oh, Joe and I were wearing matching shirts, btw. ~*~soulmates~*~*~
:)
OKAY I KNOW THIS IS BLURRY BUT HOW CUTE IS THIS, HONESTLY
haaaahahdherhjgfghkk lol!! I was having much fun singing along, but then during Ben's parts, I felt a little awkward. hahaha. Since they were RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME and all. And it's... talking. idk. But :):). hahaha, this guy next to me kept looking at me/Jefsie/both of us and it was a bit odd. Not just during that song, for the whole show. Maybe because we were enjoying ourselves and we actually knew songs that weren't just on the album. WHO KNOWS.
Here is a video of the Hips Don't Lie intro. Again, you might want to watch it on my facebook or ask me to send you the file.
We also have a video of part of Hips Don't Lie, but it was too big for youtube. SO. Facebook or IM. But it is rly rly rly good. So if you care enough to be reading this entry, you really must see it.
I don't even know what's going on here. But I remember Joe taking a polaroid of Isaac (with the same polaroid camera that I have- AGAIN, SOULMATES~*~), and then throwing it into the audience. He did it two more times and stood right in front of us when he threw them, but he threw them past us. Dangit! I wouldn't even care about keeping them so much, I just want to SEE them.
Cable Car. :)
BIG FINISH
OKAY. LET ME JUST SAY that when they left for the encore, I was like "NO WAIT YOU DIDN'T DO TOGETHER." And I started thinking about what they needed to do for the encore, and I knew they had to do Cable Car, Look After You/Wonderwall, anddddd who knew what else, so when they came out, I was like "ISAAC YOU BETTER BE PICKING UP A GUITAR RIGHT ABOUT NOW." But then they did Cable Car first. So after Cable Car, I went back to my "ISAAC, LISTEN TO ME OR WE ARE NO LONGER SPEAKING."
Luckily, we didn't have to stop being friends. :):)
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
SECOND TIME HEARING TOGETHER LIVE BUT IT JUST DOES NOT GET ANY LESS AMAZING
ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY HAVE CRAZY LIGHTS AND DAVE DECIDES TO DO THIS
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
oh, Isaac.
OKAY LET ME JUST EXPLAIN. If you have never heard Together, you really can't understand. But it is one of my absolute favorite songs, and it is just so PERFECT for the flashy seizure lights, and GAH!!! IT WAS JUST PERFECT, the lights, the guitars, Joe's wailyness, Dave's I'M GOING TO GET UP ON THE PIANO NOW. GAHHHH perfectperfecetoeiyr. I think that was the first time he's done that. It definitely startled me.
Look After Youuu
jkrshdtgijswjkrdfhgk
This is where he got up onto the speaker and began to tear my heart apart with talk of how they wouldn't be touring again until next summer.
Honestly, okay, being like, right under his nose while he's saying this stuff, PLUS all of these twinkly twirly disco ball lights all around him... (the pictures do NO justice at all)... and then he starts to sing WONDERWALL. WONDERWALL. I grew up always hearing Oasis, and I have always loved that song. gahhhhhhhhhh. I was basically like... I don't even know. In a MAGICAL ENTRANCEMENT. Am I wrong or did Dave say that in a video blog? It is so appropriate it's kinda creepy. Oh, and it's a bit silly, but what added to the perfection of that moment was that Isaac was wearing one of those hats. I love those hats on him. Which is why I got kind of teary when I saw that they have that kind of hat as Fray merch now. I'M NOT CRAZY.
And then they leeeeave.
And I am still in my magical Wonderwall Disco Ball entrancement.
Until Jefsie gets pulled over for speeding. That pulled me out. hahahahahaha. There was also drama with her tires, but NOT IMPORTANT RIGHT NOW.
Okay. Let me see what else there is to say about the show.
-HUNDRED, as an Isaac solo. So pretty.
-new Joe song! It's hard to tell how much you like a song sometimes when you're hearing it live and only once, but I thought it was pretty good. And I'm not just saying that because I love everything they do. I was never too fond of Uncertainty, as far as Joe songs go. And not Heaven Forbid so much. But this one seems promising!
-They noticed these girls who had tacky shirts that spelled out "FRAY" in huge gold glittery letters (on hot pink shirts), and Jefsie and I were like "HEY" lolol. But the gibberish transcriber shirt is nowhere near as noticeable.
-Oh, apparently Joe was born in Rochester, which is where we were. I think. I really don't know where we were. But that's what Joe said.
-OOOOH, Isaac started talking about how it was Father's Day, and I wanted him to be like "OUR VERY OWN JOE IS A FATHER, LET'S GIVE HIM A ROUND OF APPLAUSE" but he didn't mention it. :( Ily Joe.
UMMMMMM I think that's about everything I can think of for the show! Besides the songs I mentioned, they did every song off of HTSAL. Aaaand... that's it? I mentioned the non-HTSAL songs that they did. So there you have it, my friends.
After the show, Jefsie checked out her tire, we got pulled over, etc etc, went back to the motel, etc. And the next dayyyy...
WE WENT TO NIAGARA FALLS! hahahaha. When we were driving, we kept seeing these signs all like "Niagara Falls 45 Miles" and we were like "...huh... really..." So we figured it would be stupid to go all the way to wherever we were and then not go to Niagara. So we went! And it was superb. IIII loved it. There are tons of pictures, but most of the people reading this are my friends on facebook, where they all are. So go look! We also got to see Canada. Very exciting. We didn't actually GO to Canada, but we looked at it.
And driving home, some of our money for tolls had somehow gotten soaked from a water bottle or SOMETHING, and we gave the money to the guy anyway and he was like "thanks..." and Jefsie was like *starts to drive away* "SORRY!" hahahahahahaha. So that turned into this, which is WAY BETTER:
"Oh, I peed on it! It was my beer! I vomitted on it and then had to rinse it off! I'm sorry, it's the wettest one!"
HAAAAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAHAHAHA. We laughed at that for like, 25 minutes. And it's still not any less funny.
Well, friends. I'm done. Go look at our Niagara pictures on facebook!
bai
In other news, I'm most likely getting my plane ticket for Colorado on Saturday!!!!
And also- SYTYCD results show tonight! LACEY FTW
EDIT: OH WHATTYAKNOW, Isaac is going to be a guest judge at a Battle of the Bands in Colorado on August 3rd from 4pm to 10pm. GOOD THING I'LL BE THERE. hahahahaahehehel;gjfkl
Sooooooooo. Jefsie and I left at like.... early. And started our long drive to the middle of nowhere. We entertained ourselved by discussing 2gether, and putting our ~*~own twists~*~ on the episodes ("I have to go now... where are my Levi's?"). We also listened to a lot of Spring Awakening. ("I know I'm all religious and everything, but I am pro-choice. *points haughtily to self* My choice."). And Jefsie almost drove off the side of the road twice. The first time was because she was brushing crumbs off of her leg, the second time was because she was looking at the car in the rear view mirror and thinking about how the front of the car looked like "a nose with two little mustaches." Direct quote.
I'll throw in some pictures to ~*~spice things up~*~*~. I don't feel like resizing anything, so plz excuse.
Rest stop.

UMMMMMM I think that's about everything I can think of for the show! Besides the songs I mentioned, they did every song off of HTSAL. Aaaand... that's it? I mentioned the non-HTSAL songs that they did. So there you have it, my friends.
After the show, Jefsie checked out her tire, we got pulled over, etc etc, went back to the motel, etc. And the next dayyyy...
WE WENT TO NIAGARA FALLS! hahahaha. When we were driving, we kept seeing these signs all like "Niagara Falls 45 Miles" and we were like "...huh... really..." So we figured it would be stupid to go all the way to wherever we were and then not go to Niagara. So we went! And it was superb. IIII loved it. There are tons of pictures, but most of the people reading this are my friends on facebook, where they all are. So go look! We also got to see Canada. Very exciting. We didn't actually GO to Canada, but we looked at it.
And driving home, some of our money for tolls had somehow gotten soaked from a water bottle or SOMETHING, and we gave the money to the guy anyway and he was like "thanks..." and Jefsie was like *starts to drive away* "SORRY!" hahahahahahaha. So that turned into this, which is WAY BETTER:
"Oh, I peed on it! It was my beer! I vomitted on it and then had to rinse it off! I'm sorry, it's the wettest one!"
HAAAAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAHAHAHA. We laughed at that for like, 25 minutes. And it's still not any less funny.
Well, friends. I'm done. Go look at our Niagara pictures on facebook!
bai
