yeah so...the show last night...
the exciting part comes at the end, so if you're anxious to know (emily), just scroll down and read the rest after.
so Jami (Uncrowned's street team leader) told me to get there early. we did, and had to wait in line for a loooooooong time. blah. twas cool though, got a lostprophets sticker from some woman while waiting. finally got in...not many people there yet, so we had to stand around for a bit. before Uncrowned went on, Jack came out to look for me and gave me a hug. then he said that wasn't a good enough of a hug so i had to give him a tighter hug (awww). his hair is freakin bleach blonde now! he looks like billy idol sort of with the spikes and all. I liked the dark hair better, but oh well. yeah, so when the band came out on stage, Stu winked at me lol. they played really well. i didn't know any of the new songs, but i sang along to the ones i knew. the production people were filming it...dunno if they got me on any of it. this fucking annoying photographer woman kept pushing all of us who were up front out of the way. there was no photo pit between the crowd and stage so she had to weave through all of us. Gretchen got really pissed and was right up against the stage and refused to let the woman through, so then the woman takes my arm and moves me out of the way. bitch. anyways, Uncrowned put on an awesome show as always. i called sarah during "lying in wait." fun fun. then in between songs Stephen was telling people that if this was their first time seeing them and they liked it, to go on the website/message board "because that's where we connect" and he looked at me and pointed at me. aww, that was cute too. so after their set, Gretchen and I wanted to go find them, so we go out in the lobby and don't see them. go to the bathroom...dude, Earthlink Live has nice bathrooms. i'm used to atlanta concert venues having crappy ones. they even have a bathroom attendant! lol so anyways, we decide to go back in and see the next band (Outshine). they were alright...i liked some songs. a couple members weren't too bad lookin. i thought the singer was kinda cute...till he took his shirt off for the last song. yeah, no thanks. so after themmmmm, we went back in the lobby to try to find the guys again. I spot Jack and go up to him, get another hug. dude, the whole night, Jack kept introducing me to people - "This is Farah! she's our #1 fan...like really!" haha. he said he was going to call me because they found out they could’ve gotten two more people in on their guestlist when they got to the venue, but he had lost my #. it was a good thing he lost it though, cuz he had the # to my old cell phone which my mom has now. oh man, she would have flipped out if he called. yeah, so we talked to him for a bit more...then asked where the other guys were cuz we were leaving early and i wanted to make sure i saw all of them. he turns me around and Stephen's talking to some people behind us. Jack tells me to go and pat him on his bald head. i said i didn't want to interrupt and Jack is like "psh" and pushes me forward, takes my hand and pats Stephen on the head lol. someone was like "you can spit on it and shine it too!" i said we'd gotten spit on plenty during the show (they like spewed beer out on the crowd...yeah, definitely got some in my hair/on my jacket)...one of the people was like "so you should return the favor!" and Stephen is like "ok let's stop making fun of the bald man!" haha. he gave me hugs too. and he kept calling me honey the whole time (another aww). Then Stu comes out…talk to him, get/give more hugs. someone came up to talk to him and again, “this is Farah! our #1 fan! gotta love her cuz she’s the one who will have only nice things to say about us when she’s writing for Rolling Stone.” aww. I’m probably boring everyone with all the little details of talking to them, but me and my bad memory will be able to read this later on and smile. so yeah, Stu went to go talk to some hoes, pfft. Gretchen and I were left by ourselves for a bit, but then Jack came back out. chatting more, and he like throws his arms up high five style, I was about to give him a high five and he’s like “nooo, you don’t give me high fives!” and pulls me in for a hug. I think I got like 20 hugs from just Jack throughout the night. the annoying photographer bitch comes to talk to Jack, and sorry to be mean, but this woman was fugly. Gretchen said it looked like her face was melting off. I was confused cuz Jack was all like “Ms. Farah…meet Farah.” cuz this woman’s last name was Farah. it was so funny though because Jack had this repulsed look on his face the whole time she was talking to him. then when she left he’s like “man, she’s freaky” and I told him about how she pushed me out of the way and I’m like “just because I’m small doesn’t mean you can push me around!” yeah, so then…the host of the show walks to up to us to talk to Jack. the asshole DJ from 96 Rock who harassed me on the phone. some of you might remember that (the ice cream question). So Jack introduces me to him, and I’m like “yeah, that’s the guy who harassed me on the phone,” hoping Jack would help me get him back or something but he was drunk and not quite understanding what I was saying. the DJ guy has such a fucked up accent though, even in person. the British like fades in and out, it’s so weird. I was wearing my Audiovent shirt and he asked me if they were still around. I’m like uhh yeah, they’re just…recording…or something. yeah, so the DJ guy leaves and this woman comes up and Jack introduces me to her and she is like “oh, you’re Farah! THE Farah! I’ve heard so much about you!” it was weird…I didn’t know the guys like go around telling their friends about me. Gretchen said not only am I their #1 fan, but it seems they’re my #1 fan too. so Jack left us to mingle with some more people. after a bit, Gretchen and I decided to leave a little earlier than planned since we were way tired. so we go and make the rounds to say bye to all the guys…when I went to say bye to Stephen, he introduced me to this guy he was talking to - Kerry, the singer for another local band called Broken Sky. the guy looked pretty cute…in that emo dorky way. So Stephen hugged me and thanked me for coming but asked me where I had been lately (because I’ve missed 2 all ages shows) and I told him about the rule my parents made…no going to shows alone, and I didn’t have anyone to go with me when Gretchen was in Florida cuz all my friends listen to Jack Johnson and Ben Folds and shit and don’t like harder music. and that one of the main reasons for the rule was I end up hanging out with the band if I go alone and the rents don’t like that. Stephen was like “what the fuck! when are you graduating?” so we ended up talking about colleges for a bit. he said Virginia has really good schools…I told him I applied to UVA. he said UGA’s good for journalism…and we talked about how it’s like 13th grade though cuz everyone goes there. yeah, more college talk I won’t bore you guys with…finally said bye, then went over to Stu, hugs and goodbyes, asked if he knew where Jack was but he didn’t. but as we walked further, ran into Eric coming up the stairs. hadn’t seen him at all but we wanted to leave so I just gave him a quick hug, said bye, hope to see ya soon, and we saw Jack by the doors at the bottom of the stairs talking to some people. so he says thanks for coming, gives me a hug, and kisses me on the forehead. and then he’s like “give me a real kiss.” and I’m like alright, aim for the cheek. he goes “no, on the lips.” I totally like didn’t even think about it and just did it. yeah, shy, innocent little Farah kissed a drunk 25 year old “rock star.” it was like a peck on the lips though…but yeah, I still cannot believe I did that and cannot believe he freakin asked me to. so then he’s all like “whooo!!! this girl is WILD!” I’m like haha err no. wow, so strange. then we left and i was just like "oh my god, i cannot believe that happened" the whole way home. he was drunk…so I doubt he even remembered he did that when he woke up this morning. if he did, he’s probably like “what the fuck…I kissed a 17 year old.” craaaaaazyyyyy. here’s part of my convo with Katie…
