I wouldn't have been able to come to RBL if it wasn't for my SLH besties!
THANK YOU SO ******** MUCH! Nicole, SLH Kelsey, and Cheyenne. Seriously!!!
Nicole for buying my ticket, Kelsey for giving me a ride and Chey for giving me a place to stay!
Soo.
I was in total disbelief all day so some of this is kinda fuzzy. Hahah.
Kelsey and her friend got to my house at like 1:30ish I think...maybe 2...hard to remember. And we got in Austin and at their hotel around an hour later, and from there we walked to the Frank Erwin Center. It was a short walk.
We got there, got lost in the barren desert circle that is the Frank Erwin center, found the line and Nicole, Megan, non-SLH Kelsey, Hailey and Corrie(who were all three from BJT last month) were all there and I said hi and got hugs and stuff.
Nicole gave me my ticket and I checked where my seats were- good seats!! I was even more excited then!
After a while the Northern Downpour kids got put into a diff. line. So Nicole went up in line with non-SLH Kelsey, Hailey and Corrie. It was Corrie's 13th bday!
But I went up in line with Nicole and all and they were talking to Panic's bodyguard, Zack. And he was telling Corrie and Hailey to answer this question, idk why though.
Zack: What was Brendon Urie's first car?
And they named his first car he bought after he had monies. And I was like "OH OHMYJEEZ I KNOW THIS." And I kinda mumbled "A purple minivan...it looked like a jellybean..."
And Zack gave me this look and then told them that they were wrong and I was like "WAS I RIGHT?" And Zack said "Yep."
And Nicole was like "You should give her a meet and greet!"
And for like 5 seconds my heart stopped. And I was like "Whaat?"
That was what the question was for. O_O
And it went on like that for a bit, all of us trying to get m&g. And Hailey and Nicole were both like "Let Autumn in!" And I was just kinda frozen.
And Hailey even "bribed" him with gummy worms. xDD
Then Zack was like "Okay, fine, if you can answer this question right, you can go."
And I started babbling, idek what I was saying. xDD
And Zack told me to shut up 'cause I sounded creepy so I did. lmao then he talked about my "punishment" if I got it wrong, hahah then he said,
"On the last tour before Honda Civic..." "Nothing Rhymes With Circus?" "Yeah, the Nothing Rhymes With Circus Tour...there's one word in the English Dictionary that rhymes with circus. What is it?"
And like it felt like everything just shattered right there. Because out of everything I know, I didn't know that.
And Hailey was like "AH I KNOW THAT!"
And I was so close to tears and I said "Out of everything, I don't ******** know it."
And Zack was like "What is it?" To Hailey, and she said
"Burkas. It's a type of arabic clothing for women." Or something like that...
And I was like "********. I knew that! I knew that!" And started crying just a little. I was trying not to.
And they were like "You should still let her go! Let her go!" And stuff and omg I was so grateful.
And Zack was like "Alright, you can go."
And I stood there for like a split second in disbelief, then broke down. Omg I was sobbing sooo hard, I felt like I'd never cried so hard in my life. I was hugging Nicole and Hailey and Corrie and everyone and just sobbing. I said Thank you to them all like 6897466465 times.
Then Zack chose this other girl to come to "Keep me from crying". Zack may come off as a smartass and mean sometimes but honestly, he's just really blunt. But he's soo nice, he really is. Anyone who ever says he is an a*****e, I will punch.
And so we went to the m&g line with me still sobbing like an idiot andd non-SLH Kelsey was like "OMG YOU GOT A MEET AND GREET?!" and hugged me and I was like "YES!"
And I called my mom sobbing and told her I got to meet them.
I calmed down after a while, but I had to take my inhaler. And after all that...my makeup was still in tact. XDD
Then we were being let into the meet and greet.
Then we went into the room and there were SO many rules.
Zack listed them all-
No hugs (because Northern Downpour Fangirls, aka NDF, never let go)
No Handshakes (NDF never let go)
No hands-behind-the-boys's-backs in the pics (NDF liked squeezing Bren's applebottom and Ry's buns of steel lmfao)
No giving food (Rabid NDF baked her hair into cookies once)
Try to contain yourself and refrain from crying (and at that Zack walked over and put his hand on my shoulder and gave me a little shake)
No making the boys use YOUR sharpies (because ND guy tried to put a needle into a sharpie and make the guys use it)
Try to remember they ARE humans (Because NDF cannot seem to understand that.)
And the list went on.
I swear, 90% of all of ND are fangirls.
The few who aren't- I salute you.
Zack said the boys would be coming in, in a few minutes, but "Behind that wall, they're eating" AND SOME OF THE GIRLS PUT THEIR EARS TO THE WALL. I mean some were joking. BUT A LOT WERE SERIOUS.
I was like "Oh jeez. Oooh Brendon Urie's CHEWING! -rolls eyes-"
And Zack started joking about how fangirls are with stuff like that.
Then the boys came in and when Spencer was walking by I was like "Hey man!" And he smiled and said hi.
They sat at the table and everyone was getting stuff signed.
I was 4th.
First was Spencer. He has gorgeous blue eyes and he made me feel comfortable 'cause he's very easy to talk to.
Me: Hey!
Spencer: Hi!
Me: So uh, can you sign my bag? Sorry there's so much stuff in here...uh, I wasn't expecting to like, be in the meet and greet.
Spencer: Oh no, it's fine! -signs bag-
Me: Thanks!
Spencer: No problem, I hope you enjoy the show!
Me: I will...thanks!
Spencer passed my bag to Ryan.
And I was blushing, and I was nervous. Ryan kinda half-smiled at me and his eyes are like...woah. So pretty. Like, I dnw to sound like one of the creepy fangirls, but the pics lately do him no justice, he honestly is such a pretty guy.
Ryan: -starts to sign my bag-
Me: Ryan!
Ryan: -looks up- Hm?
Me: Uhm...uh...you're kinda my..my hero.
Ryan: Oh...really? -short pause- Thanks. I...really hope I can live up to that for you. (And he gave me the sweetest smile. He seemed so genuine. I mean idgi, why people think he's a jerk. He's just quiet and mellow is all. And maybe a bit shy.
Me: Thank you...so much.
Ryan: -sweet smile- Enjoy the show.
Me: I definitely will.
Ryan passed the bag to Jon, who immediately put me at ease. Jon's a very easy to talk to person, he reminds me of Butcher from TAI.
Jon: Hey!
Me: Hi! How's it going dude?
Jon: It's going great! What about yourself?
Me: Pretty much amazing. This has been a surreal day!
Jon: Glad to hear it! -big smile while he's signing my bag- you have fun at the show tonight!
Me: Oh I definitely will. Thank you so much.
Jon: No problem!
Jon passed the bag to Brendon, who was still talking to Shay. Bren gave me this odd feeling. Like...not welcome.
Me: Hi!
Brendon: -no response. Signs back and moves it towards me-
Me: ...I like your shirt...
Bren: -doesn't even look up, nudges bag more-
Me: ...okay...thanks. -takes bag and walks away.-
Theeen it's picture time!
The table is moved and the boys stand up, and I'm 4th in line again.
When it's my turn I go to go between Bren and Ry, but Spencer moves to the side and looks at me and beckons to in-between him and Ryan and is like "Over here!"
So I'm like "Oh okay!" And I stand between him and Ryan. And Ryan's arms goes kinda around my shoulders but his hand is on Spencer's shoulder, and Spencer's arms in around my waist and almost on my a**. o_O
Zack took the pic and I tell the boys thanks and go to look, and Zack was like "It's so dark...is there a setting to make it lighter?"
Me: Oh yeah, totally! Hm...self-portrait works best...
Zack: Okay, we'll use that and get you a better picture.
Me: Thanks so much!
I go back between Ry and Spence, and positions are switched- Spencer's arm in around my shoulders, and Ryan's arm is kinda around my waist and a bit too close to my a**. o_o;;
It was like a bit odd...
But the pic was amazing and I was like "Thank you guys!"
And all too soon it was over and as the boys were leaving I gave them all high fives and said bye, they all said it back EXCEPT BRENDON. Grr. I didn't do anything him...
And on the way out I gave Zack a highfive too and told him thanks soo much again, he just laughed and I aid "I'm proud of myself! I didn't cry!" And Zack was like "Good for you!" But not sarcastically at all lol.
And I have seats but I walk out and into the pit. o_O
No one ticketed me so I go into the crowd and as far up as I can get.
I made some friends, and this short azn chick reminded me of Bre, she was superly cool. xD
Then...
THE CAB!!
It was fun.
They're AMAZING live.
Sooo energetic, I couldn't sit still!
Plus they played 2 of my three favorites- Can You Keep a Secret? and Bounce! I wishhh they would aplayed my number one favorite, Take My Hand, but oh well.
It was great. I ******** love them, and their set ended all too soon.
I made my way up a bit and then was partially behind this HUGE guy who was violent. o_o;;
He was just protecting his friends though, he turned out to be pretty cool.
Then...PLAIN WHITE T'S!
I looooved their set more this time than last.
And I saw them at the same place a year ago. Hahah with Fall Out Boy.
They've improved a lot live, and are much more energetic and involve the crowd quite a bit.
Plus the new songs are like WOW.
And they performed Friends Don't Let Friends Dial Drunk, which is my faaave! WOO.
And by the end of that I realised I had this weird amount of space, and turned around and these two dudes were behind me, trying to keep as much room as they could between themselves and the girls.
So I talked tothem, they were trying to be respectful and not be pressed up against the girls- especially not the underage ones. They were hilarious too, 'cause after PWT's there was an onstage Rockband competition and they kept yelling really funny things.
I made my way up a bit more and by the time Dashboard was fixing to go on I was 2 and a half people from barricade, and these girls said they were leaving after Dashboard and I could have their spots and that'd make me one person from barricade!
I was so grateful.
DASHBOARD CONFESSIONAL.
I've never really listened but they're great live. Nice energy, catchy, etc.
I should listen to them now, 'cause I really liked their set.
Plus with the help of The Cab and some of Plain White T's they covered that one Pink song, the one that's all "Nananana nanana, I'm gonna start a fight"
It was hilarious and good!
Then Dashboard ended and another Rockband Competition started.
And the girls moved so I was one person from barricade and behind this pretty tiny b***h of a girl who kicked me when I got shoved into her, and rolled her eyes when I apologized. I wanted to punch her.
Then...PANIC AT THE DISCO!!
I was sooooo close omg.
The set was AMAZING. It was wonderful. Unbelievable.
I got amazingly awesomely like wow pictures.
I got great videos!
Jon noticed me, I waved and he waved back and I smiled, then he smiled.
I got Ryan to notice me(I think) during But It's Better If You Do, 'cause I was dancing, and I looked up and he was looking in the part of the crowd I was in so I waved, made a peace sign and grinned like a dumbass and he did a half wave from his guitar and smiled. Plus I got a pic where it LOOKS like he's looking at my camera!
The set was just WOW though and I'm proud of my vids and pics. LOL I got a vid around the end when Brendon was demonstrating dancing and stuff, lolol so funny.
The set ended much much much too soon.
I wanted it to be so much longer.
But I found Nicole and Kelsey and Megan and Corrie and Hailey really soon and really easily, then I went to merch and ran into Chey and Roxanne and their little sis and their mom, plus SLH Kelsey and her friend.
I got a 'Reinvent Love' shirt.
Then we all wandered ove rto The Cab's van and...SINGER WAS THERE!
He recognized Chey and Roxy!
It was funny, Roxy was talking and she didn't notice, but Singer was like edging towards her with his arm out, trying to give her a hug, and when she noticed she was like OH.
Lol he asked Chey and Roxy both for hugs.
And Singer is SO skinny and a lot shorter than I expected.
He was too sweet, lol I took SLH Kelsey's pic for her and accidentally took a vid, and Nicole took my pic but almost took a vid.
Singer like laid his head on mine. xD He's such a sweetie.
Then Nicole and everyone was all going to this vegan place to eat and I wa sstaying with Chey and so I hugged everyone and said thanks and said bye.
And I saw Zack and told him thanks again.
And Chey and Roxy and I just hung out for a while. And after a looong time Tom from PWT's was walking by and we went over.
And he was drunk or something. xD
In my pic he like had his hand on my shoulderblade but like pulled me closer and kinda angled himself toward me, it was odd. Then I asked for a hug and he gave me a supertight, long hug and he rubbed my back and patted my back.
He pulled Chey closer too. xD
Tom, you're a creepster sometimes dude.
But we left not too long after that, I stayed the night at Chey's house.
The night was so incredibly fun, and none of that would have happened without my concert friends!
(Panic! Second pic. Not posting the first. =DDDDD)
(Alex Deleon aka Singer! EEEH he's cute!)
(Creepster Tom from the Plain White T's)
