I'm going to kill Kathleen. She deleted all my songs off Winamp, and she shall now die. Ugh. ANYWHO. It's been a while. Some things have happened. Damiens being a dick to Lynds, Jenn and Roberto had some quickly fixed problems lmao, Devon burned a box full of a certain persons things, and, oh yes, Tuesday I went to this little thing they like to call VANS WARPED TOUR. Omigod was it magical. The day starts out fine, me Dan and Max talking the whole way there about Napolean and other amusing things, we arrive and see some Shaboygens, and on the way by the stadium I hear someone familiar. Couldn't figure out who it was though, which annoyed me. So then we continue on our trek to the main gate and I hear TALENT COMMA BILLY PLAYING. So I break into a run, get there, rush to the stage, and there is Ben. Glorious. Ripping up his shirt and telling people not to vote for George Bush. annndddd I died. So then we walk around looking for a schedule, sign up for some free stuff, and then we decide to go to see Matchbook. Well, I decide. Whatever. So me Em Code and Brady go over to Matchbook, and realize we lost Max and Dan. Not only that, but I realize I lost my camera with four magical pictures of the previous concert on there. So I go running around looking for the three of them. No luck. I also realized that the band playing when we walked in was the Ter Called Allis. So, we listen to a few Matchbook songs. During the Matchbook concert, I noticed Adam from TBS, three members of FOB, the guy from the Matches, and some other guy who looked to me like the dude from MCR all are out on stage with them. Which was glorious. I took pictures. ANYWHO, so then, we precede in looking around, I want to find the DTR tent, and when I finally do- BAM. I notice Rob from HIPV is fuckin working it. I am passing out. Emilies like "WHATS WRONG?!" and I'm all "Rob.from.HIPV.is.working.the.merch.booth." and shes all "OMIGOD WHERE?!" and I'm all "Right.behind.me" and shes all "OMIGOD HES SO CUTE!... DONT KNOW WHO HE IS, BUT CUTE! YOU HAVE TO GO MEET HIM!" and then I'm all "EMILIE DO YOU WANT ME TO HAVE HEART FAILURE?!" So Emilie PUSHES me right at the thing. And here is this glorious conversation. *I am standing right in front of him for an akward about, two seconds, in which I have no clue what to say because Im shocked hes standing there, and then something clicked in my head and Im like SAY SOMETHING YOU MORON* Me: "Hi." Rob: "Hey :)" Emilie: "...Are you Rob from HIPV?" Rob: "Yes, yes I am :)" Emilie: "Do you think I could get a picture of you two?" Rob: "Shore. You can come back here :)" *I walk back behind the table and Rob puts his ARM AROUND ME AND EMILIE TAKES THE PICTURE AND YET AGAIN I THINK I'M GONNA PASS OUT.* Me: "It was so nice to meet you." Rob: "It was definatley more of a pleasure for me to meet you :)" And then I totally spazzed and ran into the table, got out of his view and me and Brady skipped lmao. ALRIGHT. So then we resume in walking around. Watch some bands, blady blady blah. We make our way towards the Coheed concert. On the way there, we pass the Talent Comma Billy tent, and I notice that THERE IN THERE. So I like, die, and run and hop in line, which there are only like 15 people infront of me. Cody and Brady go sit down on the bleachers, and me and Emilie wait in line to meet them. Finally we get up there, and the guy infront of me asks me to take a picture for him, so I said I would, and I accidently set the camera off early, and cut off some of his friends, so I was trying to take another one, and I couldnt get the old one of the screen, and I like panic, and then they're getting impatient and they're like "COME ON ALREADY!" and I'm like "HEY ITS NOT MINE STFU!" so finally that one disappears, I take the picture, and then hand it to the guy and hes like "That will work." and then they all bust out in applause and I'm like "Schfanks. I'd like to thank the people..." It was grand. So then Ben comes down and I bust out my awesome inflatible guitar that I won at the carnival with Des and Brady and ask him to sign it and hes all "what the hail. this looks like a giant condom." and it was great and I laughed, and then I move down the line and they all sign it, and then the one with the cool hair tries to blow it up, and here is that magical conversation: Bassist: "Dude, you're gonna pass out." Guitarist: "I CAN DO IT, I SWEAR, SHUT UP." Bassist: "..Then hows she going to put it back in her bag?!" *Slowly lowers the guitar* Guitarist: "Dude, I hate you." Great times. So then we go back and me and Emilie take a picture with them, in which Ben has like his head on top of mine, and did I mention I LOVE HIM?! So yeah, once again, almost passed out. During the TBS concert, which was glorious, Adam yells out: "You know, I know you guys see crowd surfing on tv, and you think its really cool, and you'll magically become cool if you do it, but when you guys get up by the stage you're kicking these girls in the head and fuckin knocking them down, and thats not cool. So could you please knock it off? Hitting girls is just shitty." I love Adam. And during TBS me and Em lost Brady and Cody so we eventually found them, who had since found Dan and Max, so the gang was reunited. SO THE DAY RESUMES. We go to the HIPV concert, and I notice that Mike now has blonde hair, which completly ruins his Harry Potter routine, but HEY, I still love him and he is still incredibly sexy. Also a mosh pit broke out right infront of me and Dan saved my life. I love the Daniel. AND, also, the HIPV show was AMAZING, and the only one that I completey watched the whole way through. I love HIPV. ANYWHO. So, after the HIPV concert, BNO are on, and I want to go see them, but no one else does because they're hott and blah blah blah, so they all sit under the arcade tent, and me and Brady go to see BNO, because hes awesome and he went with me just for fun. So we listen to like three songs, I buy some buttons, and then Brady wants to go to the Coheed tent, which is coincidently right across from the DTR tent. IT WAS A SIGN FROM GOD THAT I HAD ALREADY VISITED THE COHEED TENT, because when I go to the Drive-Thru tent, who is there, NONE OTHER THAN THE TER CALLED ALLIS WHO I HAD MISSED EARLIER THAT DAY. And Timmy was standing there SHIRTLESS, and I took a picture tehe. Im such a mooser. I wanted to talk to him so bad, but he was on his cellphone and I didnt want to bother him because Im a nice kid like that. I also see Kyle, sitting there talking to some guy in a lawn chair, with Scottie nowhere to be seen. The drummer, whos name I dont know, unfortunatley, was sitting on the table. So I walk up to get my shirt, and here is the glorious conversation that occured. Merch Guy: "Hey how can I help you? :)" Me: "Uh, the one with the big A on it? And it says Allister underneath it and that whole chesnut. THE ONE THAT COMES IN BLUE AND RED :)" Merch Guy: "Ha which color?" Me: "Blue :)" Merch Guy: "Alrighty :)" Drummer: "You know, people come up and you ask them which shirt they want and they say 'The one that says Allister.' And I'm like, 'Dude, they all say Allister.'" Me: "Well, you know, I said the one with the big A on it so I knew what I was talking about :)" Drummer: "Ha I know you did because you're cool and I love you, but kids seriously do that." *Merch guy returns* Merch guy: "Here you go sweetie, have a nice day :)" Drummer: "Yeah, I'll see you later sweetheart. COME GET ANOTHER SHIRT :)" Once again, I died. It later occured to me that I should have asked for the shirt in red, so he could have signed it, and then gotten a picture with him. I was too stunned to do so. SO, since the HIPV tent is right next door, I want to get a shirt from them too. So I step in line, and I notice that not only is Rob back, BUT CHRIS IS THERE TOO. So I die again, I get in the Chris side of the line since I dont want Rob to think I'm stalking him or something. And here is the glorious, short-lived but still magical conversation between me and Chris. Me: "Hey :)" Chris: "Hey how are you doing? Having fun?" Me: "Yeah you're show was the best one I've seen :)" Chris: "Thanks!" Me: "You're welcome :). Can I get this shirt." Chris: "Yeah, shore, be right back." *Chris returns with shirt and I pay him* Chris: "Hey, do you think you have two ones, I mean if you don't its fine, but I could use some." Me: "I think I do, hold on a second." *I search through money and find two ones, thank god.* Chris: "Thanks, thanks a lot :)" Me: "You think you could sign my shirt for me?" Chris: "OH HELL YEAH!" *Chris signs shirt and hands it to Rob, but Rob was busy doing something since some kid was being an ass and trying to find the smallest possible shirt he could. Finally Rob returns, smiles at me, anddddd I died lol* Rob: "Hey :)" Me: "Do you think you could sign my shirt? It's right there." Rob: "Shore :)... Here you go." OH YES. YOU HEARD. I GOT MY SHIRT SIGNED BY ROB AND CHRIS FROM HIPV, GOT TALENT COMMA BILLY'S AUTOGRAPHS, A PICTURE WITH THEM, CONVERSATION WITH THEM, AN APPLAUSE FROM THEM, AND I MET THE TER CALLED ALLIS. After this, me and Brady head back to the gang, find out that Dan is sick and puking up blood in the bathroom, so we find Dans dad, and then we ask Dan if he wants to go home and he does so we left. Only downside to that was I missed FOB and FFTL play, and didnt get to meet Ryan from Yellowcard @ 6, but hey, I'd rather have Dan anyday :) I was upset that I later discovered that some point during that day FOB had a signing at there booth, and I missed it. I'm praying it was after I left, but I highly doubt it, and I'm upset with myself that I didnt notice. I did see a line there at one point during the day, but when I checked I didnt see the band, so that might have been the line there waiting for them? So it wasn't all my fault, they hadn't yet arrived. Next year I'll be more prepared. :) ALSO, my band made a video, and I got free stickers of them and a free poster of them at Warped. I got like, 3984091380913 free things at Warped. It owns. I'll write back later. Tell you about things that are going on outside of the tour :) P.S. I DYED MY HAIR BLONDE. P.S.S- YESSSS THEY DIDNT WIN THEY CAME IN THIRD AND THEY DONT HAVE SEXXX! MY LIFE IS COMPLETE.
