It is 11.35am on Monday morning, and I aim to write this update as quickly as possible and then later you will get the story of Zoe, D, BMTH and The Blackout! [Believe me it is the best tale of all time!]
So like...two weeks ago? [has it really been so long?] on the 2nd of April I met le D in London and we went to see Fall Out Boy [supported by COBRA and Shiny Toy Guns]. The queue wasn't too bad as queues go. We were going to get there early and bombard Gabe with love but unfortunately we had major complications with the trains and shiz so we got there too late for that, but in perfect time to just plain queue and not be too close to the back.
Queuing consisted of us being the bitchy people that we are and criticising pretty much everyone around us. "Look at her roots, I would not leave the house like that, at least not without a paper bag over my head."
"Hey do you think her friends let her get dressed in the dark?"
"Omigosh, it looks like she rolled through a rainbow!"
ETC.
We got in easily, stashed our stuff in the cloakroom and legged it down to the frontish. We ended up like second row from the barrier on the right hand side of course. Purely so we could gawk over Petey Pie.
Falala don't remember much about the actual gig anymore, Shiny Toy Guns were pretty fab, the girl in it is pretty hawtt and they sound good, had a bit of a boogie down to them.
Cobra were of course A-M-A-Z-I-N-G Gabe is such a cool guy, and god can that man shake his hips! -puddleofdrool- Hmm..they sang most of the songs from there album and Gabe was like our album just came out over here, y'all have to get it. I don't care how you do it, buy it, download it, steal it from a friend, get a copy. That was pretty cuteee. They picked someone from the audience to do Travis's rap in SOAP it wasn't us, but we met the girl who it was ironically in the queue for the blackout. loltimes.
Fall Out Boy were pretty spiffy. Pete and Joe did there usual dance around the stage like spacky loons. Pete smiled our way a few times, he was pretty adorable tbh. I kinda felt like they were lacking something in there performance though...not enough crowd interaction like? Idk. Gabe bounced on stage and sang Grand Theft Autumn with them [it sounds shitty but that was probably one of my favourite parts of there set]. Dirty got put through a table in like an interval of the set, that was pretty entertaining. Erm...oh yeah, before they played Golden, Pete said something about My Chem, and I'm pretty sure it was, this is for my friend in my chemical romance [aka Mikey]...but don't quote me on that.
Anywho, the show ended, the girl next to me almost died. I was like hey lady, can you pass me that bottle of water.
The stupid crewgirl is like, but its mine.
I'm all hello, this 14 year old girl collapsing on the barrier next to me and unable to breath doesn't care whose it is. She got carried to first aid...poor thing.
We got outside and I'm all lets go hang by merch because Cobra will come out, and low and behold, who should be surrounded by gaggles of girls infront of the merch table but Mr Gabe Saporta. So, being the small wriggly thing that I am, I worm my way into the crowd and end up right next to the man himself. He keeps getting pushed into me and such like and I'm just standing there being crushed against him [not a bad experience]. Then I randomly pet him a little with the idea of getting his attention. It doesn't work, petting leads to stroking his hips, and then his back. Some girl was like, go a little lower, so then I'm groping his ass and D joins in, Gabe turns around with this huge grin like, you groping me for a reason. We're all like nahh, just for fun, and he's like carry on and turns back around.
We eventually sustain his attention and get autographs, we don't have a camera so thats sad times but then I remember my camera phone is in my bag! So we wriggle out of the crowd, go and collect shit from the cloakroom and sneak back into the foyer. Then we spot Vicky, so we bounce over to her and we're all heyyyyy! and we talk to her, get hugs and her auto and then chat about her falling over on stage. She's so cute.
After we leave Vicky we wriggle back in with Gabe and we get photos with him [below] and cuddles and some girl is like heyyy, sign my arm. And I'm all like sign my arm too and then I'm like actually sign my top [cause I'm wearing white] and he tried to sign my boob as in actual flesh and I'm like no no, top. lolz.
I look skanky as and like...drunk? stoned?
We got Pete posters and then walked and for the rest of the journey referred to them as though they were actually Pete.
On the train ride home, we like totes get lost and then we meet this random guy from Q magazine who thinks D is 30, and I'm her 13 year old daughter. Loltimes. He interviewed Pete and Trick that morning and we talk to him on the tube as he leads us the correct way home. He was a bit of a twat.
We got burger king chips and proceeded to eat them on the floor of Paddington Train Station, to keep in theme for the evening we renamed every chip Pete, and proceeded to cover them in mayonaise and proclaimed loudly how good Pete felt in our mouths. Yes we were hyped and odd. lolz.
The end.
There is another tale of cobra love...I will post that in a bit.
