michigan concert
omg where to begin. ashley and i woke up around 8 i think, left the house by 820 and we were on the road. went to oakland mall so we could get our wristbands. we were standing outside for what felt like forever, waiting for 1030 to get there so we could go inside hot topic. we met two girls outside, i think they were from canada. they had gotten in line at the fillmore at midnight, and they were place 11 and 12 in line. we went in, i returned a th shirt i had with tags, bought it again and got a wrist band. i bought a cd as well cos ashley didnt have any money, so we both got our wrist bands. there were only 4 left when we were done! SO glad we got one.
then we went out to the car, ashley changed clothes... in the car, did her hair and makeup, and we decorated the car with beautiful tokio hotel sayings. i took a picture or two of the car, but ended up deleting them during the concert to free up room on my camera... but just picture the hottest car ever with decorations everywhere. very sexy. i called laura for directions to the fillmore, and she said that she would meet us there in a bit. she wasnt feeling very well. we had to call once more because i lost the directions she gave us (and later found them inside my makeup bag lol). we drove around forever in detroit, trying to find somewhere to park. it was hard cos there was going to be a tigers game that night, so we had to be out of nearly every parking place by 5pm... which wouldnt have been possible. we finally parked in a toll on the road, put in a couple bucks, and could only stay there for two hours, so we planned on coming back with more money once laura got into line.
we walked forever to get to the line, and it wasnt very long at all! i would guess... maybe 40 people? i dont know. someone correct me if im wrong. we were lined up along a parking garage, and started kicking ourselves for not parking there. we met three AMAZINGGGGG girls in front of us, payton cheyenne and monica, with their mom. they were from canada and this would be their second tokio hotel concert. they went the night before in toronto (... i think). we saw the (a) bus outside the venue across the street, and there was no doubt in our minds that the guys were in there. it was around 1030 at this time, and i doubted that they would be in the bus when they could go inside and be more comfortable, so we didnt know. ash and i went across the street, took a couple pictures of the bus, and then we were told to go back in line. we saw tobi a couple times, and freaked out lol. payton and cheyenne's mom went to go find a bathroom. all of a sudden, we look over at the bus, and we see a window open, with someone smoking! we are all freaking out, screaming for them and taking pictures/videos. we later realize its an old dude, probably a roadie haha. payton and cheyenne's mom get back, and we tell them they didnt miss much, cos they really didnt.
laura shows up with double cheeseburgers and sweet tea from mcdonalds, which was super sweet of her. ashley and i head off to find the car. the dude at the parking garage next to the line told ashley she could park in the garage for $20, even though he wasnt supposed to because of the tigers game later. we got the car, and started blasting tokio (of course). we whipped into the parking garage, with several people in line looking on in awe at ashley's amazing car bahahha. we parked it, and got back in line. laura said she was going to go on a walk for a bit, so she took off and we chatted with our buddies in line; paytn, monica and cheyenne. all of a sudden, another bus pulls up (my heart just stopped, just thinking about it). we all start freakin, obviously. security had been setting up barricades slowly throughout the day, and now was the time they would be used. the new, gold bus, parked in front of the silver one that had been there since we had. ash and i started out at the end of the gold bus, on the sidewalk. right as security is backing us all up to behind the SILVER bus (ja, i know) i see mister schafer walk off the bus! i got it on video, but its rather shit because i was frantically trying to get ashley's attention to see. she never did. i should have just kept recording.
after that, security has the nerve to tell us to get back in line... fuck that! barefoot, i run over to where another group are standing, five feet away from the gold bus' door, on the sidewalk. within a minute (or less), here come our men. bill walks off the bus, followed by tom, and my main squeze, georg. bill had his hair all gorgeous, with a leather jacket on. on the back, was a white star, just like his tattoo.... mmh. i dont really remember what tom had on. they all had sunglasses on, i believe. and bill was drinking a red bull. georg had a leather jacket on as well. i was freakin out, looking at them for the first time in person, that i didnt notice saki (head of security) and andreas (bill and tom's best friend) with them. in my video, you cannot see them but if you watch this person's video, you can see. we ran back to line, and laura had gotten back. she was sittin on the blanket, just chilling. ashley and i were freaking out cos we had just seen tokio hotel in person for the first time and could not contain our excitement!!! ashley and i went to the bathroom at subway, but other than that, nothing much happened til we got inside...
it took me forever to get through the freakin door because the fillmore's stupid security wanted me to open each of my cigarette boxes so they could see the inside. what did they think i had, a friggin joint? good greif. so ja, that took us awhile to get through. we ran to the stage, dead center. we stood there for an hour and seventeen minutes, waiting for the damn concert to start. at 7:17, the massive curtain with the th symbol drops, and there are our men. omg i could not believe it. it felt like an out of body experience.
for live every second, i had a bear holding a sign (the whole galaxy is chilling out to tokio hotel) that i through on stage. you can kind of see it in the video, live every second part 1. i through it too soon and too far. it went right between bill's legs, to the drum set. they never picked it up which bummed me out. at the end of the concert, tobi went on stage and took the bear off... he probably put it in the trash :/
paytn passed out during the beginning of live every second, so i have two separate videos for that. no major events went on during the concert as far as the guys went. i took a lot of videos, even after promising myself i would only take one... whoops!
live every second (1) (2)
scream
dont jump
raise your hands together
i can not put into words how violent this concert was. ashley and i figured since we were 21, it would be fine for us, seeing most fans there were 13-16. were we ever wrong. i turn around during the concert to find ashley getting swallowed up by the crowd. i was trying to help her by pulling her up, but no one would budge. ashley kept screaming 'i cant breathe, lane! help me!' during the concert, she was stabbed with a set of car keys in her back, wolverine style. i had my hand on the barricade, and when i was trying to pull ashley up so she could breathe, my hand slipped and i grabbed some chick's A cup. she freaked out like i was some perverted 40 year old dude. bad went to worse, let me tell you. ashley yelled to me, and said 'help me get closer!' and some chick next to her said 'you arent gonna get any closer, bitch!' and ashley got up in her face, and said 'NO SHIT.' omg i was seriously pissing myself, i was laughing so hard. during the whole concert, i could hear ashley verbally harassing people, it was hilarious. i had turned away for something, i dont remember, then suddenly my face was soaked with water. i looked on stage, but didnt see any of them with water bottles. i turned to ashley to ask her what had just happened. she looked at me with the biggest smile i had ever seen, and she said georg had spit it out of his mouth.... .not kidding, i almost passed out. it was the most amazing feeling in the world.
i grabbed ashley's arm at the end of the first set, and i told her we had to get outside, since encore was next. she said it would be hell to get out cos of the crowd, but i said 'watch this'. we were out within ten seconds, literally. we got outside, talked with some security for awhile, and asked them where we should stand for the signing. they pointed to the place where we had stood before, when the guys came off the bus. we ran over. honestly, we were the only people out there. it was amazing. they had a barricade out, and we were right against it. we started talking to this security guy, he was cool. people started lining up behind us, cos security told everyone they could not be on the road. the guys came out and got on the bus.
i turned to ashley, and told her i didnt think they were going to come out for signatures. right then, i look up to the bus. through a crack in the front curtain, i can see tobi handing tom a marker. of course, i start freaking out again. they come out; bill, tom, georg and then gustav, all in a line. bill signed a pack of my cigarettes, then tom did... i touched tom! it was amazing. then i touched georg... about died. they signed my cigarettes as well. i touched gustav too, but i was still freaking out about touching georg lmao. ashley got her ticket signed by all four of them, and her purse signed by bill and gustav (her two favorite). i got all my cigarette packs signed, and touched all of them except for bill.
aside from the extreme violence, and barely being able to hear bill at all..... it was a sweet concert. im glad we had the minnesota concert to look forward to, and the signing at the mall the next day. otherwise, i would have been really disappointed. as we drove away, we heard some girls yelling on the sidewalk. 'look, there's the yellow car! its them!' it was paytn cheyenne and monica waving. we waved back, and i told them i would talk to them soon. i got monica's contact info for facebook, but could never find her :/ as the fates would have it, a few days ago, i found cheyenne and paytn on the forums! i was so happy =]
