The Sassyback Tour.
Very long recap under the cut. Seriously, this is gonna take awhile.
So we get to the venue around 4 pm, I think. We stand around for about 10 minutes or so before Layla and I decide to stalk the buses. Not that we actually could because there was a huge gate in between us and the buses XD We just wanted to see if we could see anybody walking around and I think we ended up seeing just about every member of Cobra. Gabe especially. He was carrying boxes around. Dunno what was in them *shrug* Probably his Bobby Brown cassette tapes. XD
Anyway we made it halfway over to the gate when I hear "ASHLEIGH" really loud. It kind of scared me. lol. Turns out it was ohitislo. Loren is awesome and we ended up chatting for a bit. We mostly bitched about how much we miss Midtown, but we bonded. XD
We get in line and get our wristbands, then Mattbro comes out looking for meet and greet people. He checks to see if we're on the list. I wasn't, but I had the email and he said it was fine. We're shuffled to another line and before he leaves he tells us that Gabe won't be at the meet and greet. I figured as much so I wasn't that disappointed.
We're finally let inside about half an hour late and we all gather in the bar trying to warm up. A few more minutes later and guess who's the first to show up?
Gabe.
Why you be spreadin' lies, Mattbro?
So people start gathering around him and I managed to contain myself and only take two pics of him standing there. Unlike the 2830820398 billion I took of Beckett XD
You can't help but notice how bad his voice sounds when he talks. I felt so bad for him. I told him that I kind of felt his pain and that I had managed to get my tonsilitis cured the day before the show. Thank you, antibiotics! He asked if I was getting them taken out and I told him they didn't have to yet since it was only my first flare up. I love how he looked relieved that we were talking about my throat instead of his...and how he looked genuinely concerned. Sweetest boy ever ♥
When it's our turn Layla get's her little agenda thing she writes her homework assignments down in signed. And they took a pic. Cute, no? XD
So then it's my turn and when he goes to sign my book there is this conversation:
Me: I'm gonna have to tell you how to spell this
Gabe: *nods* Okay
Me: A-S-H-L-E-I
Gabe: G-H
Me: Right!
This is the product of that little conversation
LoL. He took up half a page. Compensation for how small he had to sign for Layla.
It's my turn to take a pic and Layla tells me to get my hair out of my face. Gabe decides to be cute and grabs a chunk. This is the result.
I was chewing gum and giggling. This is why I look so retarded :S I really need to stop chewing gum when I take pictures. The same exact thing happened when I took my picture with Beckett. Only I got to take another with Bilvy.
So we decide to make our way over to Ryland because there's hardly anyone around him. Halfway there Layla stops dead in her tracks. I asked her what was wrong and she shoves her agenda at me and says 'LOOK AT WHAT HE WROTE." We then proceeded to flip shit because the fact that she was named after a song was never brought up.
There's the rest of her autographs too.
We get to Ryland and someone mentions something about Hannah Montana to him and he says that's more Guy Ripley's thing. lol. Ryland is a very tall boy. We didn't really talk to him that much and I feel bad because there was hardly anyone around him. He was actually the first to leave :( He looked pretty bummed the whole time, though.
Victoria was next. She was really sweet and let me take two pics with her because once again, gum!face made an appearance. lol.
Here's her pic with Layla
And me
Blurry. It was just not my night, I'm telling you. *sigh*
We get around to Nate and he signs our stuff, we take our pictures and move on because...that's just Nate. But not before Layla forced me to spit out my gum that very instant. lol. I told him to play a good show, though. He said he'd try.
So we finally get to Alex, I say finally because I actually wanted to go to him after Gabe. Alex is fucking sexy. He signed my book and started looking through it. When he saw my Bogus Journey Tour flyer thing, he mentioned that it was really awesome while pointing directly as Sisky dressed up as Death. I agreed and then he said he had a picture he wanted to show us. He pulls out his phone and while he's looking he tells us that it's a picture of the wallpaper on his laptop. He said he sent it to Mike Carden and he thought it was funny. Layla oh-so-smoothly smacks me in the leg at the mention of Carden. Then as he's *still* scanning through his phone he smirks and says "Beckett." I really wanted to see that pic, but I'm a good fangirl so I didn't try to look. So he finally finds the pic and it ends up being this one.
While he was showing us the picture he said that somone -I'm not quite sure who, jokes around and calls he and Sisky lovers. My brain exploded at the thought and the only thing I could think of to reply was "Oh. That's one of Julian's pictures!" He smiled and nodded then we talked for a few more seconds about Julian's pictures before we had to move on. I was kind of sad because I really loved talking to Alex :(
He smelled really good. Suarez for the fucking win.
Since we didn't have anyone else to talk to we get in line to get to the stage. I'm standing about two feet away from Gabe and staring. I don't think he noticed XD We remember the glowsticks we brought so I break them out and we put them on, finishing up just in time to be let in. We rush to the stage and end up getting right side barricade. Again.
By the time they let everyone from outside in, I wasn't barricade but tucked up into a speaker on the side of the barricade where they let photographers in. Best fucking spot ever. I wasn't being pushed and I had a great view. Layla was beside me but she WAS being pushed.
Anyway, Sing It Loud comes on and both of our jaws drop about 5 seconds in. No, literally. We were both gawking. Those boys are fucking pretty, but not only that -they had so. much. energy. Especially Nate. He was bouncing and jumping headbanging and just...wow. And for the record, I'm pretty sure he's been studying Decaydance bands. He fucking licked the neck of his bass, shook his hips, and ran his hand down his stomach. *COUGH*petegabebill*COUGH*. I adore him in the same way I adore Travis Clark so I let him get by with it.
Nate Flynn. The only good pic I got because he wouldn't stand still.
Don't even get me started on Pat Brown. I seriously think I have a new crush. Which means you might as well read up because you're probably doing to be seeing a lot of spam about him. Bandom Spam, let me give you it. XD I'm just going to admit right now that if he didn't remind me of Beckett so fucking much, I dunno if I'd like him or not. lol. You can't really see it in pictures, but if you're watching him onstage? It's like watching 05-06 William Beckett. Especially the way he moves and the way he walks. I was practically fucking drooling. He had a really pretty red sparkly guitar, too. I wish I would have thought to get a picture of it.
I think I may love them. ♥
UNF.
Kieren Smith is the lead guitarist and he's pretty sexy too, but he came off as a bit too cocky. At least at first. After their set I asked him for a pick because hey, I was right there at his gear, and his face got really genuinely sad and he said he didn't have any. He apologized and he was just too sweet about it. I believed him because he didn't have any picks on his mic stand so he definitely didn't change pics in between songs. Even if he had some in his pockets, his pants were too tight to get a hand down in them. That is a struggle I would have seen. If I had to describe him I'd say think of 08 Beckett's looks with Beckett's 06 attitude.
And finally we have Ben Peterson, who is made of awesome. I mean, come on. You know you can't stop looking at that Johnny Cupcakes shirt just like I can't. I can has it nao plz? He was really energetic even though I couldn't see him most of the time. When he didn't have to play he came to the front and got everybody clapping or moving.
Sadly, I didn't get any pics of Sick Boy. I don't know how, but I didn't. :( Damn drummers always having to be in the back.
I don't remember any of the setlists, at ALL. I remember reading Cobras but they followed the first 4 and after that it was a free for all. I do know that both Guilty Pleasure and Pleasure Ryland were on the list, and they didn't play them. And My Moves Are White wasn't on the list, but they played it, but I digress.
The songs I remember Sing It Loud playing were Best Beating Heart, Don't Save Me, No One Can Touch Us, Bite Your Lip, and Come Around. Actually, I only remember because I got it on video. Let me show you it XD
Best Beating Heart pt. 1
Best Beating Heart pt. 2
This is about the time of the jaw dropping. Seriously, these boys have so much freakin' energy :D
Don't Save Me
Kieren shows us just how hot guitarists can be
No One Can Touch Us
Cut of prematurely because I wanted to rock. Sorry.
Come Around
I really adore these boys
Moving on. No, I didn't get anything on Hit The Lights. They put on a really good performance, but I just wasn't into them. Plus, Omar kept shooting me looks and I felt very uncomfortable. lol. Besides, I was conserving my battery life and space for Cobras and Forever The Sickest Kids.
Speaking of which...
Honestly, I only listened to Forever The Sickest Kids album a few times before this show. I think I may listen to them more, now, but they just didn't do much for me. They put on a great performance, though. I was entertained and I ended up getting more pictures and more video of them as a whole. Straight up telling you right now that I'm completely smitten with Kyle Burns. Completely. I have a thing for drummers, and I'm loving me some fucking Kyle Burns. Here, let me show you him.
My camera fucking loved him. I had the perfect angle and a clear shot most of the time.
He was wiping sweat off his stomach. Unf.
And a random video of him drumming
New obsession OMG.
Jonathan Cook was really cute, too. He's just an all around likable guy. :D Layla is completely infatuated with him because he walked over to our side of the stage, looked directly into my camera, looked over at her, and held out his hand. You can imagine the hands that shot into the air, but he went directly for hers. She had a moment and practically turned into a puddle of goo. lol.
I only got one decent shot of Caleb and even then it's not that great. :(
Marc was directly above me at a weird angle, so I only got one of him, too.
And considering Kent was the furthest away, I got a pretty good shot of him.
I got a few shots of Austin, but that boy makes the weirdest faces while he's playing and it kind of freaks me out. It's like he's on crack or something. lol. So I'll use my ONE normal shot, tyvm.
And some band pics-
Idk why, but I love this picture. It's one that I'm the most proud of for some reason.
As far as I know they played Woah Oh! (Me vs. Everyone), Breakdown, Believe Me, I'm Lying, Catastrophe, She's A Lady, a cover of Men In Black, and Hey Brittany. I didn't get Hey Brittany on video because I can't stand the song. I used that time to take pictures.
Woah Oh! (Me Vs. Everyone) pt.1
I swear, everytime I put my camera on kyle it was just magical. Everything focused and became still. Magical, I tell you.
Woah Oh! (Me Vs. Everyone) pt. 2
Jonathan is kinda hot. Not gonna lie.
Woah Oh! (Woah Oh! (Me Vs. Everyone) pt. 3
REALLY good clip of Kyle playing. I wanna make babies with him.
Men In Black
I barely remember this song as it is, and they didn't really help me to remember. lol. That's why it's so short. Poor Jonathan almost falls.
Breakdown
This song was really hot. I think this might have been around the time that I really started getting into the performance. It was the sexiest performance of them all. I especially love watching kent at the beginning, but then my attention shifted and damn if I'm wasn't having a good time by the end of that song. I'd see them again. *nods*
Believe Me, I'm Lying
Layla got really happy when she found out I got her little moment with Jonathan on video. The smile on his face is too cute. Too bad I didn't get her reaction.
Catastrophe
LoL at me for going back and forth in between Kyle and Jonathan
She's A Lady pt.1
Idk why I cut the end off. I think Layla might have been arguing with some bitch that kept elbowing her in the neck. I had to step in and tell her to gtfo. literally.
She's A Lady 2
Jonathan's got some huge balls. I wouldn't have gotten up on that barricade like that. :S
So I had more fun during FTSK's performance than I thought I would. I'm really happy that I did because I think they're a band I could grow to love. Layla lucked out because she got one of Austin's pics and a piece of Kyle drum stick. I would get a pic but I don't know where she's hiding them. lol.
While they were setting up for Cobra I got antsy and starting taking pictures.
After I took this pic I was all "ICU NATE" but I wasn't that loud. He looked up at me and Layla and I waved at him and waved back.
After I took this picture Victoria showed up. Layla and I might have been the only ones to see it because of our but she put her hands on his waist from behind him and they started dancing to the music that was playing. It was hot. Layla and I looked at each other like 'They have GOT to be fucking.' I would have got a pic but we wanted to watch them without distracting them by a camera flash. It would have ruined the moment.
When they finally did come out they started with The Church of Hot Addiction. I only got the intro and one other very short video of the song. I was fucking rocking out to that shit. I fucking love Church. Sometime during the song Gabe comes over to my side of the stage and reaches out for my hand. I grab it and it was the single most awesome experience of my life. Gabe singing my favorite Cobra song directly to me. Guh. Then he leaned on the speaker next to me and I had a face full of Gabanti!crotch. Did I mention the fact that it was during The Church of Hot Addiction? My ovaries were dead after that. Fucking dead.
After they finished the song Layla and I had this conversation:
Me: Gabe touched my hand *meep*
Layla: More than 'touched!' Your fingers were fucking intertwined.
I just. No words.
So, moving on-
I wrapped myself around the speaker to get a picture of Alex and he saw me, so he posed. I couldn't really see where my camera was pointing so this is what I got. lol. Love his smile, though.
slash_scion took a pic the same time I was taking mine and you can see him posing for me XD Safe to say hers turned out better. lol.
I love that man.
Being where I was, sometimes Victoria would come up to the front of the stage and I had the best view of her legs. I got that on video, though.
LoL Nate's demon eyes.
The only decent shot I got of Ryland. :(
Other than this one. But it doesn't count cause Gabe is in it.
Speaking of Gabriel...
I didn't get too many pics of them because I was either filming or rocking *shrug*
Hmmm...been studying Bilvy, Gabe? *smirk* I kid, I kid.
Onto the video! :D
Like I said, the first song was Church and I only got the intro and that one other short clip. That one other short clip is definitely the one you want to see ;D
Cobra takes the stage :D
Church of Hot Addiction clip
Gabanti!crotch ftw. yes, I was that fucking close. Couldn't even get him in the damn shot.
The City Is At War
Very short clip cause I was rocking
Send my love to the dancefloor
Short clip of the intro and then abrubtly cut off because this is also one of my favorite songs. I was having fun, yo. Gabe and Victoria looked pretty cool doing that, btw.
Kiss My Sass pt. 1
It's probably a good thing my view of Alex was somewhat obstructed by that huge light. I really don't think I could have kept my hands to myself.
Kiss My Sass pt. 2
I fucking love me some Suavez but it's impossible to keep your eyes off of Gabe for too long. lol. I could have kicked myself in the ass for stopping it where I did. *le sigh*
Gabe and Ben doing Soulja Boy
Boi? I dunno how it's supposed to be spelled. But it was fun to watch :D
Diamond Girl/Amateur Night
I laughed when I watched this because even though I didn't do it on purpose -I lingered on his crotch after he did that hip thrusting thing. It kind of made me feel dirty. Like I was cheating on Beckett or something. LAWL.
My Moves Are White
Gabe talks about how he never used to get girls until he learned how to dance. Ryland joins in on the conversation and compares him to Steve Urkel. Funny stuff. Excuse my foul mouth. I was excited because this song, Church, and Send My Love To The Dancefloor are my favorites and they played all three. :D SHIT YEAH! Also? The reason my camera is bouncing is because the crowd was jumping. I wasn't moving :S
Prostitution Whole song.
I have no idea how I managed to record the whole song.
Paparazzi pt. 1
By FAR my favorite video of the night. Gabe was fucking shaking those hips and that ass and I got the ovary-combusting view. Especially at the end when he grabs his mic cord with his teeth OMG. Seriously, WATCH THIS. You will thank me, I promise. Remember how I said Beckett need to be a porn star? Well Gabe needs to be a stripper. Those hips...UNF.
Paparazzi pt. 2
Good performance vid. I think I managed to get everyone rocking except Nate. Why must you be so far back, bb?
Snakes pt. 1/Hollaback Boy
Pat Brown fills in for Bilvy. He doesn't do too bad. I'd rather have Bilvy, but Pat is a good substitute. And finally some fucking proof about what I've been saying about how he reminds me of Becks. Just watch him. And OMG the boy love. He's all curling up to Gabe like Beckett used to and it makes me feel guilty because FUCK Pat is pretty. I really do feel like I'm cheating on Beckett but what he doesn't know won't hurt him. Nice view of Victoria, too XD
Snakes -Not my vid but it gives you a better angle and the sound isn't as distorted because she's not standing right next to a speaker. Boy love boy love boy love UNF. Hand holding at 4:07 *dies*
Snakes pt. 2
This is mine. Obviously.
After the set we let people clear out before heading to the merch tables. On the way there we run into Pat Brown. I refused to leave the place without seeing him and I'll be damned if he wasn't just there.
I was all over that shit. And let me tell you, that boy is tiny. Skinnier than Beckett, if that's even possible.
We head up to the merch and Loren finds me. We talk for a second before I have to catch up to Layla at the Forever The Sickest Kids table. I'm sitting there digging out money while she's talking to the guy about sizes. I watch them go back and forth with "I need a small" and "I'm telling you it will shrink" for a bit before I realize who's standing in front of me. I got excited and was like "ZIGGY!?" He smiled at me and nodded.
I completely forgot he was doing merch for FTSK.
I told him we met at Warped and we chatted a bit about what he'd been doing since. Merching (I have now made it a verb) for Danger Radio and stuff like that. He said our TAI boys might bring him back sometime in the future. That boy is adorable. He is my favorite merch guy ever :D
I hi-fived him before we left and told him I'd see him later XD
We walked over to Danny and I tipped him. I honest to God didn't think he saw me do it but next thing you know he's putting two Guilty Pleasure bracelets on the counter for me. That boy is sharp as a tack.
I got the Sassyback tour t-shirt and I fucking love it.
I wanted to stick around and try to meet Kyle, Jonathan, and Nate but we had a three hour drive back because Layla just could not miss any school. She practically had to drag me out of there. lol.
Oh well. That was my Sassyback experience and it was fucking amazing. Even though Gabe's voice was off I might even go as far to say that it was a little better than Bogus Journey. It was more high energy and less predictable.
It definitely renewed my love for Cobra. TAI is going to have to up their game ;D
Oh, and can I just say one more thing?
♥BOYLOVE♥ (pic courtesy of slash_scion)
So.
I told you it was long. XD
So we get to the venue around 4 pm, I think. We stand around for about 10 minutes or so before Layla and I decide to stalk the buses. Not that we actually could because there was a huge gate in between us and the buses XD We just wanted to see if we could see anybody walking around and I think we ended up seeing just about every member of Cobra.

And considering Kent was the furthest away, I got a pretty good shot of him.
I got a few shots of Austin, but that boy makes the weirdest faces while he's playing and it kind of freaks me out. It's like he's on crack or something. lol. So I'll use my ONE normal shot, tyvm.
And some band pics-
Idk why, but I love this picture. It's one that I'm the most proud of for some reason.
As far as I know they played Woah Oh! (Me vs. Everyone), Breakdown, Believe Me, I'm Lying, Catastrophe, She's A Lady, a cover of Men In Black, and Hey Brittany. I didn't get Hey Brittany on video because I can't stand the song. I used that time to take pictures.
Woah Oh! (Me Vs. Everyone) pt.1
I swear, everytime I put my camera on kyle it was just magical. Everything focused and became still. Magical, I tell you.
Woah Oh! (Me Vs. Everyone) pt. 2
Jonathan is kinda hot. Not gonna lie.
Woah Oh! (Woah Oh! (Me Vs. Everyone) pt. 3
REALLY good clip of Kyle playing. I wanna make babies with him.
Men In Black
I barely remember this song as it is, and they didn't really help me to remember. lol. That's why it's so short. Poor Jonathan almost falls.
Breakdown
This song was really hot. I think this might have been around the time that I really started getting into the performance. It was the sexiest performance of them all. I especially love watching kent at the beginning, but then my attention shifted and damn if I'm wasn't having a good time by the end of that song. I'd see them again. *nods*
Believe Me, I'm Lying
Layla got really happy when she found out I got her little moment with Jonathan on video. The smile on his face is too cute. Too bad I didn't get her reaction.
Catastrophe
LoL at me for going back and forth in between Kyle and Jonathan
She's A Lady pt.1
Idk why I cut the end off. I think Layla might have been arguing with some bitch that kept elbowing her in the neck. I had to step in and tell her to gtfo. literally.
She's A Lady 2
Jonathan's got some huge balls. I wouldn't have gotten up on that barricade like that. :S
So I had more fun during FTSK's performance than I thought I would. I'm really happy that I did because I think they're a band I could grow to love. Layla lucked out because she got one of Austin's pics and a piece of Kyle drum stick. I would get a pic but I don't know where she's hiding them. lol.
While they were setting up for Cobra I got antsy and starting taking pictures.
After I took this pic I was all "ICU NATE" but I wasn't that loud. He looked up at me and Layla and I waved at him and waved back.
After I took this picture Victoria showed up. Layla and I might have been the only ones to see it because of our but she put her hands on his waist from behind him and they started dancing to the music that was playing. It was hot. Layla and I looked at each other like 'They have GOT to be fucking.' I would have got a pic but we wanted to watch them without distracting them by a camera flash. It would have ruined the moment.
When they finally did come out they started with The Church of Hot Addiction. I only got the intro and one other very short video of the song. I was fucking rocking out to that shit. I fucking love Church. Sometime during the song Gabe comes over to my side of the stage and reaches out for my hand. I grab it and it was the single most awesome experience of my life. Gabe singing my favorite Cobra song directly to me. Guh. Then he leaned on the speaker next to me and I had a face full of Gabanti!crotch. Did I mention the fact that it was during The Church of Hot Addiction? My ovaries were dead after that. Fucking dead.
After they finished the song Layla and I had this conversation:
Me: Gabe touched my hand *meep*
Layla: More than 'touched!' Your fingers were fucking intertwined.
I just. No words.
So, moving on-
I wrapped myself around the speaker to get a picture of Alex and he saw me, so he posed. I couldn't really see where my camera was pointing so this is what I got. lol. Love his smile, though.
slash_scion took a pic the same time I was taking mine and you can see him posing for me XD Safe to say hers turned out better. lol.
I love that man.
Being where I was, sometimes Victoria would come up to the front of the stage and I had the best view of her legs. I got that on video, though.
LoL Nate's demon eyes.
The only decent shot I got of Ryland. :(
Other than this one. But it doesn't count cause Gabe is in it.
Speaking of Gabriel...
I didn't get too many pics of them because I was either filming or rocking *shrug*
Hmmm...been studying Bilvy, Gabe? *smirk* I kid, I kid.
Onto the video! :D
Like I said, the first song was Church and I only got the intro and that one other short clip. That one other short clip is definitely the one you want to see ;D
Cobra takes the stage :D
Church of Hot Addiction clip
Gabanti!crotch ftw. yes, I was that fucking close. Couldn't even get him in the damn shot.
The City Is At War
Very short clip cause I was rocking
Send my love to the dancefloor
Short clip of the intro and then abrubtly cut off because this is also one of my favorite songs. I was having fun, yo. Gabe and Victoria looked pretty cool doing that, btw.
Kiss My Sass pt. 1
It's probably a good thing my view of Alex was somewhat obstructed by that huge light. I really don't think I could have kept my hands to myself.
Kiss My Sass pt. 2
I fucking love me some Suavez but it's impossible to keep your eyes off of Gabe for too long. lol. I could have kicked myself in the ass for stopping it where I did. *le sigh*
Gabe and Ben doing Soulja Boy
Boi? I dunno how it's supposed to be spelled. But it was fun to watch :D
Diamond Girl/Amateur Night
I laughed when I watched this because even though I didn't do it on purpose -I lingered on his crotch after he did that hip thrusting thing. It kind of made me feel dirty. Like I was cheating on Beckett or something. LAWL.
My Moves Are White
Gabe talks about how he never used to get girls until he learned how to dance. Ryland joins in on the conversation and compares him to Steve Urkel. Funny stuff. Excuse my foul mouth. I was excited because this song, Church, and Send My Love To The Dancefloor are my favorites and they played all three. :D SHIT YEAH! Also? The reason my camera is bouncing is because the crowd was jumping. I wasn't moving :S
Prostitution Whole song.
I have no idea how I managed to record the whole song.
Paparazzi pt. 1
By FAR my favorite video of the night. Gabe was fucking shaking those hips and that ass and I got the ovary-combusting view. Especially at the end when he grabs his mic cord with his teeth OMG. Seriously, WATCH THIS. You will thank me, I promise. Remember how I said Beckett need to be a porn star? Well Gabe needs to be a stripper. Those hips...UNF.
Paparazzi pt. 2
Good performance vid. I think I managed to get everyone rocking except Nate. Why must you be so far back, bb?
Snakes pt. 1/Hollaback Boy
Pat Brown fills in for Bilvy. He doesn't do too bad. I'd rather have Bilvy, but Pat is a good substitute. And finally some fucking proof about what I've been saying about how he reminds me of Becks. Just watch him. And OMG the boy love. He's all curling up to Gabe like Beckett used to and it makes me feel guilty because FUCK Pat is pretty. I really do feel like I'm cheating on Beckett but what he doesn't know won't hurt him. Nice view of Victoria, too XD
Snakes -Not my vid but it gives you a better angle and the sound isn't as distorted because she's not standing right next to a speaker. Boy love boy love boy love UNF. Hand holding at 4:07 *dies*
Snakes pt. 2
This is mine. Obviously.
After the set we let people clear out before heading to the merch tables. On the way there we run into Pat Brown. I refused to leave the place without seeing him and I'll be damned if he wasn't just there.
I was all over that shit. And let me tell you, that boy is tiny. Skinnier than Beckett, if that's even possible.
We head up to the merch and Loren finds me. We talk for a second before I have to catch up to Layla at the Forever The Sickest Kids table. I'm sitting there digging out money while she's talking to the guy about sizes. I watch them go back and forth with "I need a small" and "I'm telling you it will shrink" for a bit before I realize who's standing in front of me. I got excited and was like "ZIGGY!?" He smiled at me and nodded.
I completely forgot he was doing merch for FTSK.
I told him we met at Warped and we chatted a bit about what he'd been doing since. Merching (I have now made it a verb) for Danger Radio and stuff like that. He said our TAI boys might bring him back sometime in the future. That boy is adorable. He is my favorite merch guy ever :D
I hi-fived him before we left and told him I'd see him later XD
We walked over to Danny and I tipped him. I honest to God didn't think he saw me do it but next thing you know he's putting two Guilty Pleasure bracelets on the counter for me. That boy is sharp as a tack.
I got the Sassyback tour t-shirt and I fucking love it.
I wanted to stick around and try to meet Kyle, Jonathan, and Nate but we had a three hour drive back because Layla just could not miss any school. She practically had to drag me out of there. lol.
Oh well. That was my Sassyback experience and it was fucking amazing. Even though Gabe's voice was off I might even go as far to say that it was a little better than Bogus Journey. It was more high energy and less predictable.
It definitely renewed my love for Cobra. TAI is going to have to up their game ;D
Oh, and can I just say one more thing?
♥BOYLOVE♥ (pic courtesy of slash_scion)
So.
I told you it was long. XD
