I'm good to go and I'm going nowhere fast
DSALKJHAJH CONCERT POST! I'm actually starting to get after concert sad though, so I kept putting this off because I don't want it to sound depressing~ or whatever, because the concert totally wasn't depressing it was AMAZING! Anyways. It's really really long, btw. Be prepared.
SO. We (being me and Amy and my mom) got on the ferry and went to Vancouver. Me and Amy were all giggly and excited the whole time (KIRBY!!) and we rly wanted to get to the venue (the Pacific Coliseum) early so we could get a super spot on the floor.
My dad, who I pretty much never see, picked us up at the ferry terminal place in the nicest, shiniest car ever and we went for lunch. I had alfredo pasta, which I what I always have whenever I eat out because it's delicious. My dad gave me an Ipod, which is nice but I'm going to return it because like none of my music will fit on it, and $400 which was rly super because il moneys.
We finally got to the Coliseum around 3, and got in the closest line with Amy's internet friend Carli, and omg the two hours we waited felt like years! Near the end, we were checking the time like ever single minute. Luckily, we got in the right line. See, there were probably 12 lines or something, and they only opened 3 of them. AND WE WERE IN THE FRONT OF ONE OF THOSE THREE! Seriously, if we had been in a different line we would have been screwed. We got inside and they didn't pat us down or anything (I obv didn't need to worry so much about them feeling Amy's camera, which was stuffed down my pants so we could sneak it in), we just ran super fast to the floor.
Now, I was preparing myself to be way in the back, because if I expected to be rly close then I would probably be disappointed, right? And even when we were at the front of the line, I was still thinking about OCKs and early admission and everything, so still a few rows back, which was fine. But as we got our wristbands, I was waiting for Amy, and I looked over and there were seriously like 5 people on the floor. The barrier was like completely empty! So crazy! We ran and got a spot in between the middle and right side (in between Pete and Patrick for Fall Out Boy, pretty much) AND HOLY SHIT I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE WE GOT BARRIER.
The hour we waited inside also seemed like a really long time, but finally Dirty came out and I was like slajhklajhak DIRTY! Cobra Starship was first, and they were so amazing! Gabe was all dancing and stuff and sooooo close! Their's was also pretty much the only set when I could breath, which I was cool. I like breathing. Beckett and Paul Wall came out for Snakes On A Plane and ksajhkaljhaklj so awesome!
Then it was Paul Wall time! I was so sore during his set though, he kept telling everyone to throw their hands up and by this time the barrier had pretty much killed my arms so it was rly painful. But still totally awesome. He did Grillz and threw out grillz and skajhklajh il grillz! I knew a couple of the songs, but pretty much none of the words (except for Grillz, obv!), so his was the only set I didn't sing along to. I didn't really notice the crowd not liking him or whatever though, which was good because Paul Wall is amazing.
Next was The Academy Is...! For some reason the crowd was really excited right before they started, and I was dying, but once they were actually on stage everyone backed off a little which I thought was pretty strange. Beckett was all moving around and dancing and stuff too, and whenever he did anything crazy or anything that made him look tall, I would look over at Amy and she would have the funniest look of disgust on her face, because she hates Beckett. It was pretty amusing.
After that was Plus 44! Lately I've been super into them so I was super excited. For some reason though, this was the worst set ever for breathing. I was wedged into a corner type deal for most of it, so I guess that's why it hurt so much? Idrk. Oh man though, we were so close still! And Hoppus! He was all running around and amazing. And Travis too, with the crazy drumming. They had that special light that they have at bowling alleys that makes everything white glow in the dark, so awesome. Vicky T from Cobra Starship came out and sang for Make Me Smile, and it was so super.
Last but for sure not least, Fall Out Boy!! So so so so amazing! At the beginning they popped up and it was slajhkaljhkaljha awesome! I knew it was coming, but it was still so cool. They had lots of pyro and fireworks and cool videos during the songs, so awesome. Before their set, I was rly worried because I was in a lot of pain and I didn't want to have to get pulled out, but I was totally okay once they started. I think I was mostly numb by then, but w/e. At the intermission, they got a girl up on stage to help Charlie launch baseballs at Dirty, it was pretty hilarious. A ton of people got pulled out during the last half of Fall Out Boy's set, they just couldn't handle the awesome. I was happy that Pete and Joe moved around a lot, because the jewfro in action is amazing! It was also rly awesome that Andy moved to the front for the last few songs, and his drum solo thing was super. At the end, during Saturday, Dirty was seriously right in front of us fiddling with the confetti blaster machine, which was rly close to being pointed directly at our faces. He was also like pretending to cry because it was the last song and it was so funny slajakjhkal. I also didn't get killed when Pete jumped into the crowd, which was good because I was actually really worried about that part. Then the confetti, omg so awesome. A bunch stuck to me and I picked some off the floor as we were leaving, as a souvenir*~
We got back up to the merch table, and bought our stuffs. I was surprised how much they had left, because I was a little bit expecting everything to be gone. I mean, some of the shirts were sold out and taken off the wall thing, but they had boxes left of the merch that didn't sell out. I got a blue Hemingway shirt, and a brown Fall Out Boy shirt with clocks on it, awesome awesome.
Then we called my mother to come walk us the block and a half back to our hotel, lol. Right after I phoned I realized that we probably wouldn't get raped since there were like hundreds and hundreds of other kids walked from the concert. Whatever though. We were sooo sore and tired once we got back to the hotel room, at like 11 or something. Me and Amy looked at all the pictures, she took her camera obv, and if anyone wants to see some of them she posted them herrrrre because she's awesome. Anyways, I went through all my stuff and emptied my pockets, and there was confetti everywhere. It's still in the bottom of my purse, and I'm pretty sure we left a bunch in the hotel room on accident, haha.
So, the next day I was even more sore because while I slept all the muscles tightened up or whatever. It hurt to walk or pretty much do anything. Me and Amy got up at 8, but didn't actually get up for a while because painful. Also, with all the screaming and singing along at the concert, my braces decided to attack my cheek and pretty much shredded the whole right side of my mouth. So not cool.
We had breakfast, and walked over to Playland, which is right next to the Coliseum, so really close. Unfortunately, we got there an hour before it opened, which was kind of lame. Once everything opened though, it was totally awesome. We went on almost every ride, except for the rly scary ones because we are wimps. It was tons of fun though. The line of games are so addicted, I spent 15 dollars and got 2 tiny stuffed animals and a gel lizard are something, so not worth it. I also suck at throwing, a lot. But I already knew that, so.
After, we took a city bus and then the sky train to the bus station that goes onto the ferry. Unfortunately again, we missed the 3:45 bus by about half and hour, so we had to wait for the 6:00 one. So, waiting in uncomfortable metal bus waiting chairs for over an hour. Definitely not cool. And then, since it was rush hour time, we weren't sure if we were actually going to make the 7:20 ferry, and then we would have to wait for the 9:00 one. Oh man, that would have sucked. But we made the ferry and ate and stuff and finally got home at 9:00ish.
And that's it! I'm still completely sore (arms, shoulders, back, legs, knees, mouth) but it was so amazing! I still can't believe it even happened. The concert was the best night of my life ever though, and I wish I could do it again because it was so absolutely awesome! :DDD
3 sleeps until Warped!
