desudesutrip :D
WELL LETS GET THIS BUTTFUCK OF A POST UNDERWAY, SHALL WE?
Keep in mind I just got this camera so-- 1. i took A LOT of really pointless pictures, and 2. they aren't very good seeing as though i didn't really know what i was doing.
Thus I bring you DESU TRIP 08.
So, I didn't really sleep the night before we left. I was up most of the night looking for those stupid fucking tickets. . . until about 4am. That was the point I think I said "OH HEY LETS CHECK THE WEBSITE." and it gave me a number to call during normal bussiness hours. Around 5, after making sure I had everything packed I passed out watching Star Trek with my Mum.
THEN 7AM ROLLS AROUND AND SINCLAIR DOESN'T WANT TO BE AWAKE THANKS.
The first leg of the drive was. . . boring, but at least there was something to look at :| After the junction going to Spokane there was NOTHING. AUGH IT SUCKED.
abandoned concrete mill ♥
hills n' shit heading up past ontario.
THIS IS WHAT WE HAD TO LOOK AT FOR ABOUT THREE HOURS> AUGH IT WAS BORING.
fucking gass prices. it was like. 4.50 or some shit in spokane. blech.
the "OMG WE REACHED LANNNNNNNNNNNNNND NO MOAR DRIVING" picture when we got to the venue in spokane. corey and miranda in the parking lot in front of the underoath tour bus :D
le trunk. yes that is a pineappl,e and yes we gave it to underoath.
the venue was actauly a coffee shop on the outside so we sat and ate. yayyy. enthusiastic 'hell yeah' expressions from mir and corey.
Concert was. . . UnderOathy XD The opening bands were Ill Patriot and POS. Ill Patriot wasn't that good but it was like. . . Underoaths tour managers band so, eh. He went through the line outside and gave everyone high fives. We were behind some little teeny bopper douchebags which is always funny. They were like. 14.
Anyway. POS was really good through-- never really saw UnderOath bringing a rapper on tour with them which was kind of cool seeing as though this poor dude was like "OKAY I KNOW FOR A FACT A GOOD 50 PERCENT OF YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT HIP HOP IS" XDD but he was really really good.
No barrier either :Db Was in front of Grant and James this time, which was a first. Friggin' Grant kept headsweating on me though. Awesome. JAMES DOESN'T DO ANYTHING JESUS HE JUST STOOD THERE. Oh welll~ Played two new songs, which was kind of hard to hear live first I guess. From what I could decipher it wasn't bad though.
afterwards we saw Seth (pos rapper dude :D) and talked to him for a moment and took this nasty ass candid picture.
stopped at walmart and got nutrient to drive to seattle. corey and i fell asleep and poor mir drove most the four hours by herself :\ I woke up and talked her out of sleeping. Of course we got lost on the way-- called Sandra with "So uh. We're IN seattle. Did we go too far?"
Found Sandras, desecrated her couch with my shit and took the greatest shower ever.
Corey doing. . . something.
Woke up to Sandra and her neice the next morning.
Fuck waking up.
View outside of Sandras door.
OFF TO MAYHEM FEST. Very, very lost. But a very pretty place to get lost in :D
So we get there and the line is long as fuck. We have to go straight to the front to the box office to ask about the tickets. THE WOMAN SERIOUSLY WOULDN'T BELEIVE ME. "Well where'd you get them?"
"Uh. The internet."
"What website?"
"The one that the mayhem website led to. I can't remember the exact name. Live nation, I think."
"*looks me up and down* Are you sure?"
"DLKFJDLKJFD NO I'M NOT SURE I TOLD YOU I DON'T REMEMBER."
But after that we got pit bracelets and the tickets and Miranda cut us in line :D The lady putting the pit bracelets on us were flat out like "Watch your backs girls, people have been stealing these from other people."
So we kind of fluttered around watching random bands before standing in line to get shit signed by UnderOath, watched Walls of Jerico and some bmx stuff before Suicide Silence.
Walls of Jerico was awesome, Suicide Silence was awesome. The leadsinger of Suicide has such mad vocals and he looks so out of place with the rest of the band. The others have long hella metal hair and he looks like this little emo kid XD Cute was really the only way to describe him.
UnderOath was good. . . again. They did the "WE DO THIS FOR JESUS" rant and they got pretty booed which is kind of a first. Ususally people are like "kay whatever" but yeah. YAY METAL FESTIVALS.
Then we stood in line to buy expensive food, we met a dude named Eddy in line and Miranda ended up giving him her pit bracelet since she really didn't want to be dwown there. Fair enough. I didn't go down for Mastadon or Dragonforce and just kinda. . . watched from a distance. I went down for Disturbed, who were actualy really really good live. I was expecting it to kind of blow XD
They did 'the sickness' last-- building up to the 'ooo wa ka ka ka' thing, right before it the lights turned off and everyone just fucking booed him XDDD It was funny.
THEN SLIPKNOT JESUS CHRIST. First off I was scared as fuck because I had my phone in my pocket and I was wearing FLIP FLOPS. They were amazing though-- the only thing I can remember is not knowing where to look. It was funny though-- eight guys on stage who aren't all constantly doing something, they'd get bored and do funny stuff. Like Sid came out and started climbing all over Chris' drumset, Shawn started two stepping all over the stage and like. Spanking Corey with his mallet XDD They were easily one of the best bands I've ever seen live. It was dead sexy.
So we go to leave (Miranda only stayed for like. Half an hour of Slipknot, she felt pretty nasty) but it was HELL trying to get out. There was like. No traffic system and the stupid ampatheatre emptied onto like. This little local road :| Poor Miranda was almost crying because she was so frustrated. . . I felt horrible that I was in such a good mood.
So we got back to Sandras, slept and headed out the next morning to Seattle. The original plan was to figure out the public transit.
walking to get tickets. plan backfired anyway.
