Okay, Nottingham Rock City weekend.
Okay oh so long ago. Erm...well like three weeks I think?
So since we were going to see the blackout and bmth were playing the day before we decided to go to both.
We didn't bother getting to the venue early because we were travelling all the way to Nottingham and we were tired and hungry. So we dumped our stuff at Cheryl's and got ready, dragged her with us and it was alright.
I killed the prom queen were pretty shit to be honest, though I recall they did have a cute guitarist who was bouncing around like crazy on stage, bless him.
Bmth were alright, not mind-blowingly brilliant and definately nothing compared to The Blackout the next day. Though it was quite comical when someone threw a blow up banana on stage and Oli ran around with it between his legs. Some other funny stuff happened but I can't really remember it.
Afterwards, the venue turned into a club so we decided to stay and get some drinks, chill etc. Had a good little time and we were going up to the upper floor when we spotted Oli walking around in this adorable little hat with Stokesy [I think] so we went and said hi to him, chatted to him for a bit and parted ways. Then we bumped into Curtis and chatted to him a little, got hugs but he was with his girlfriend so we didn't want to bother him too much, had a photo with him.
Went downstairs and found them all in one big old group [even Tom lolz] So we chatted to all of them except Lee. Lolz. Had my picture taken with Oli which a very drunken Matt insisted on taking the photo so its a little blurry.
Then had a photo with Matt too.
Got some hugs and then we decided to call it a night. So we went back to Cheryls and snoozed.
The next day we went pretty early because well its The Blackout. We passed them on the street but didn't want to bother them so we legged it to the shops and bought £5 worth of creme eggs and some dr pepper and then headed to the venue. We were the only people there. It was fantastic. So we chilled for a bit.
Kids in Glass Houses walked past and we sort of squeaked but then they were gone, so then we moved to sit by the little buses and the BMTH tourbus was still there and we were so confused. But then The Blackout came by and we gave them all creme eggs and Sean remembered us and we had a little chat with him and then some cuddles and photos, he was all like have you got tickets? Like offering to put us on the guest list but we did have tickets so he looked a little disappointed. Then they went to do sound check, so we got another cuddle and said goodbye.
Then the BMTH boys minus Oli came by, we gave them creme eggs to and chatted to them, Matt had a major hang over. Dionne had her photo with him since she didn't get one the night before.
We went and got subways.
Then took some sly photos of the bmth boys.
Did a little dance
Then a cop car pulls up and Oli gets out looking all depressed and dressed in last nights clothes, clutching a clear plastic bag with all his things in it. It was pretty heartbreaking. All the boys ran over to him and then they bundled into the tourbus and drove off.
We saw a couple of the boys a few more time and messed around in the queue until it was time to go in, oh yeah and we gave Gareth the creme eggs we bought for Kids, so he could give them to them.
We packed into this teeny tiny little room, squidged our way to the front, and danced to sexy back.
Then Kids came out and they were briliant. Aled said on stage that they only got eggs from one person and it was us XD We boogied to them, got quite a few pictures but only posting a few of the better ones. Aled jumped into the audience like on me and had my hand so that was funky. Aled got his shirt ripped.
Then the Blackout came out and were just amazing. As always. Sean climbed up on things and stuff like he does, little monkey boy. And he was wearing his gay little scarf and almost got strangled when he went into the audience. He was right by me aswell, so he had my hand and stuff, and some girl grabbed his nipple and like pulled it and stuff. Meanies.
Aled came on to sing High Tide with them and that was pretty amazing. They're just brilliant live.
Afterwards we walked past Gareth on the way out and he stopped us to say hi and was asking our opinion of the show and stuff, we got a sweaty hug, left the venue and trawled around the town looking for somewhere to go and drink somemore.
After we'd hung out for a bit we walked back by the venue and caught the boys loading there stuff into there van. We befriended the merch guy, Mike [aka Brum] told them we were coming to London and decided on the spot we'd go to Yeovil to. Then we went back to Cheryl's slept and went home the next day.
Had a cheese sandwich adventure on the train home
