Sassyback Tour 10/14/2008
First thing that happened is we got to Majestic an hour early (5). There was hardly a line, and we didn't feel like sitting there forever, so we were gonna hit up the McDonald's across the street.
We're heading in that direction and we run in to Caleb (FTSK) surrounded by a pack of girls. There was this lady who said she wanted her picture taken too and he said "Anyone got a camera?" and no one offered so Ashley did, and after that he said come here sweetie, I took their picture, Ashley took ours, and he asked if anyone is going to McDonald's with him. We were going there anyway, so we follow.
We were going to ask for another picture with me because his head got completely cut off in mine (I'm shawty for a reason), but he was completely swamped with chicks. They were sitting in his seat and behind him and the poor dude look like he just wanted to eat so we said forget it and sat down to eat our fries.
I heard he was collecting monopoly pieces so Ash put them her my pocket just in case we saw him later.

We had a minor freak out over there being no soap in the girl's bathroom, and once that was over we left, and he was still out there, so we asked for the other picture (he commented on our teamwork), and Ash gave him the pieces, got another hug and we headed back to the line which was now ridiculously long.
Seriously.
And than we waited. Forever.
The line starts moving, really really slowly and we're kind of annoyed, and than it's like oh, hey Alex Suarez who is standing in line literally talking to every single fan that stopped.
Ash took a picture of me and him, and he asked if Ashley wanted one and I'm pretty sure she said "mhm" because, yeah. And than we got our picture and continued in line.

We got in and went right to the merch table because we saw Lipski (goodgod)and Danny.

Ashley asked about a bag that she didn't really want (seriously, she just wanted a glow stick, but it seemed weird to tip without buying) and than he got totally distracted, which is cool because yeah, she really didn't want the bag. She honestly was just looking for Hit The Light merch, but she didn't ask where it was because everyone kept coming up to Lipski and asking him for FTSK stuff and he was getting frustrated and it was kind of funny.
He literally went "I'm the Cobra guy, Forever The Sickest Kids is that way" and pointed.
Than a lot of stuff happened like we wandered, took pictures, went "Seriously, is beer and redbull all they have?", and than Sing It Loud came on and they were amazing.
Followed by more of wandering and "Wow, it really is.".
And than Hit The Lights and they were also amazing<3.
More wandering a long with "oh my god my feet" "Seriously, my back" "Dude what the fuck is wrong with my camera" "Is that Austin?" and "Damn that security guard for shutting the door."
Than Forever The Sickest Kids came on and they were also amazing. Jonathan was a little bit insane but it was great. And during FTSK we see Nate from Sing It Loud wandering around talking to people.
We go up to him and he pretty much begs us to buy a cd, and he was kind of irresistible and adorable about it so we were like yeah, okay, only Ash couldn't find her ten dollars.
She walked away to try and dig it out of her pockets and look for it a little if she couldn't find it, and I told him what happened and he seriously went "ooh."*insert sad face*. Ash came back and told him she couldn't find it and he continued to give the sad face and than handed her the cd. And since that was pretty much the nicest thing ever she hugged him and told him thank you, and he said thank you to us and we went to watch the rest of show.

Cobra was next, so this time basically consisted of me and Ash pushing are way around until we got somewhere that was close enough for us to be satisfied and far away enough from the center for Ash not to freak out about being trapped.
Cobra was obviously awesome. Ash couldn't get any freaking pictures of Navarro=/.
After Cobra we went around to the parking lot and waited with a ton of other people for basically anyone who happened to walk out. We had figured out earlier who's bus (or van) was who's and so we just kind of sat by the gates.
I think the first person we saw was Caleb again. He came out with his guitar, sat in between the buses, and played us all an acoustic version of She's A Lady (amazingamazingamazing), which Ash got video of, but you can't really see him unless someone's flash goes off. And than he took pictures with everyone but we went off because we already got ours.
Austin came out of the bus and I said "Hi Austin." he said "Oh hey,what's up?" but we didn't stop him because he looked like he had somewhere to be.
Kyle came out shortly after and we really wanted a picture because we couldn't get any of him on stage (drummers, seriously, they tend to be Ashley's favoite people and yet they are virtually impossible to photograph). Anyway, everytime he went to turn to us someone jumped in the way and we didn't say anything because the guy was practically being taken over and we felt bad. Finally he turned around and said, "Okay, what do you guys need? You've been standing there forever and I've been ignoring you and you haven't said a thing, and thank you." (he talks really fasto_o). I said that I was short and he said "I'm tall, we balance each other out." We asked for pictures, got the pictures, told him good luck and went back to traveling around.

We saw Suarez between a pack of girls but didn't bother him (seriously though, bless his heart so many times over. He stood out front for like ever before the show, and than after the show he barely went to the bus before standing there for forever again).
After that I think we saw Nate (Sing It Loud) hanging around. He was talking to people, running around with a bag on his head and basically owning mothrfuckers who think they know adhd.
Than we went up to Ben from Sing It Loud who was standing in front of their van and got a picture. He asked if we liked the show, we said yeah he was awesome and we got the cd, and he said "Awesome show, awesome CDs, awesome pictures, pretty awesome." or something else equally confusing but he was still really nice.

I think it was a while later, and Lipski was loading the bus when he started stacking these long as bar things in front of Nate's van. He was all "Am I blocking Sing It Loud's van?" and Nate smiled and was like "Yeah.". And so Lipski sets down like two more. He went to sit another one down and Nate grabbed at his crotch and he said "Whoa, watch it." and than sat it down and pretended to go at him, but it kind of ended in this really weird hug that lasted forever and had Lipski lifting him up a lot, and than he backed him against the van, and held him up there. After he let him down they talked for a second and he went back to work.
Lots of lots of time after that Kyle came back out with one of their crew guys and went "boooosh" at us (I don't even know) and the guy asked if we were alright. We said cold. The crew guy went back in, came out stuck a big ass sticker on Ashley's knee and gave her one of the squirt guns all of the FTSK guys were playing with earlier (and by playing with I mean they came out and pointed them at all of us). Ash tried to squirt him but there wasn't any water in there.
After that more time of boredom passed, and than Jonathan and Marc came towards the tour bus with McDonald's. We asked if we could get a picture really fast and they said sure. I tried to take a picture but the flash wasn't on, Ash bumped in to Marc's drink (didn't spill) but said sorry anyway and he said "oh it's okay.", we got the pictures and they went back in (after talking to another group of chicks who showed up).

Victoria came out sometime after that and said "Hey girls, what's up?" and we got pictures with her too. She smelled exactly like the FTSK tour bus, which was weird but awesome because it was a really good smell. She was as sweet as ever and her shoes were killer, okay.
Me with Vicky-T
Seriously, she's the sweetest person in the universe!

Sometimes later Austin came out (he slept for the two hours he said) and took pictures with us. He also asked if any of us could give him a ride and we said we would, but we were waiting for the rest of Cobra. He said it was alright and I think he went to find someone to give him a ride.

After that we basically knew that we were going to get in a ton of trouble for waiting so long, but there were only three people left. We saw Nate walk out of the bus and in to the building but he was rushing so we didn't stop him. We walked down closer to the building to wait, and than Ryland came out.
We asked for pictures and he was great (and tall).

Nate came out shortly after and we asked him for a picture as well. He was looking kind of tired and in a hurry to get back to the bus so I apologized if we were keeping him from something and after that he looked like he felt bad, he said "No, no, it's okay." and took the pictures.
There was this little red thing on his jeans that matched his shirt and he was sort of adorable and really, really small.

Neither one of them knew where the last member was and we were getting yelled at, and we had been out there since 10:30 when the show ended and it was now a few minutes before 1am. And personally, we would've waited longer but we weren't the ones who drove so we had to go.
