We were all in the van heading towards our destination that would turn out to be the best night of my life... so far. As we pulled into our parking spot, I noticed a lot of stripes, black, gray, and red clothing everywhere while there was a whole handful of emo hair.
"Oh boy," I thought. "Here we go with the crazy fans."
We got out of the car and went to the front of the line. Everyone was all emo while I was bright with my orange and teal clothing. I counted down the seconds until the doors would open, until I'd be closer to him. Way closer.
"Open the doors," I heard a guy say.
Thump, thump, thump. My heart was pounding in my chest, adrenaline running through my body. All I wanted to do was get in there and rock out.
Finally, the doors were open. We were inside. Our ticket stubs were given back to us. I start running towards the front. It was glowing, the horrible barricade keeping me away from him, that is.
"Stop running!!!" was all I heard.
I turn around and see her walking SO slow.
"Come on Colleen!!!" I yell. I grabbed her by the arm and drug her up to the front.
People were filing in now. It became clearer that I was really up front, against the barricade. It was clear that I was going to have to push against that barricade with over 1,000 pounds on top of me. But it would all be worth it. I was able to see My Chem closer than ever before.
The first band, Drive By, came on. All I could think of was how close I was. I was so amazed that I didn't even realize that the second band, Taking Back Sunday, came on. The whole place erupted as soon as they threw their white masks into the audience. Whoever caught those masks must have felt pretty special. What they don't know is that I was way more special than them. Reason being is that the singer, Adam Lazzara, noticed me. When I say he noticed me, I mean he NOTICED me.
Throughout the show, all I noticed was how Adam kept looking in my general direction. At one point that I realized he was looking directly at me. It wasn't until later that I fully noticed that he was mentally having sex with me on stage and fully enjoying it.
Finally, Taking Back Sunday gets off the stage. This little girl next to me is super excited. I warn her that she isn't going to last throughout the show because she's a wimpy little girl and the crowd is super tough when it comes to Gerard. She didn't listen to me. As soon as the sound check for My Chem was finished, she was being tortured. I only saw her arm hanging onto the fence. Finally, right before My Chem came on, she was gone. Poor girl.
There was a giant force that came from the back and the side, ending directly in the middle. It felt like the shoving didn't even touch me. The adrenaline over came my body. I morphed into a completely different person, the true me. I have any worries. I didn't care that my boobs were being crushed or that I couldn't feel my knees. I didn't care that my head was bent back in an awkward position, that my hair was being pulled out, or that I was super hot. All of that didn't matter. He was there in front of me.
Halfway through the show I decided to stop looking at Gerard as much because I felt I was neglecting the other guys. I look at Ray and his long, poofy hair is bouncing everywhere. I look at Bob and..."Omigosh!!! He has longer hair!!" was all I could think. Frank was rocking out, as usual. Finally, I see Mikey. He got super attractive. He had a massive amount of eyeliner on and he was wearing a shirt that said "Mikey f***ing Way" on it. I decide to watch him for a little bit. I switch back over to Gerard for about five minutes. When I decide to look at Mikey again, I notice he was looking at me.
"Maybe he's not really looking at me. There are others around me," I thought. That's when I decided to smile at him. I am 99% sure that he gave me a smurk in return and then looked away.
You would think that the only highlight of the night was how amazingly awesome the show was. Nope. I cannot even remember all of the times the security guard had to stand up on the platform in front of me to grab the body surfers. That meant I got his man stuff in my face a lot!!!
After the show, I couldn't feel my legs. My knees were stiff, my hair was a hot mess, and I was uberly thirsty. That all didn't matter to me. That was the best day of my life. It was the best day in the time period of my birth until May 6th at 11:30 p.m.
I went to Projekt Revolution on the 25th. Voldemort stopped the rock until Mindless Self Indulgence came on. They were awesome. The bestest. So fun. After the show, Jimmy and Steve (singer and guitarist) were signing stuff by the stage. Jimmy "autographed" my arm and KISSED Aunt Christine. He loves her. My autograph definitely isn't as cool as being kissed by awesome people but it's still pretty good.
Voldemort stopped the rock again...for a very long time. HIM came on and they were pretty good but then Taking Back Sunday came on and I wanted to kill myself. They were horrible. You really have to like whiny music to like them.
Voldemort couldn't stop the rock again after My Chem came on. They were AWESOME! I loved them. Gerard had to take a "rock break" because he's so fat he couldn't continue. Don't get me wrong...I love him but he isn't the skinniest singer. Really. And he sweats SOOOO much that it's unbelievable. Anyways....Aunti said I turned into another human when they came on. I probably did considering I didn't notice anything but Gerard and his gayness. And if you're all like,"He's not gay!!!" then explain to me why he asked all of the guys in the audience to take off their shirts during Prison. And I hope we all know what that song is about. I don't want to believe he's gay although he's not really hiding it. So...I have to try and accept the fact that...him and Frankie are totally dating.
Then, Linkin Park came on. Man...they were good. My favorite part was when Chester's head would turn all red when he would scream. Their show was good. The Asian guy was cool. He's my favorite.
OH!!! There was another Asian guy that had amazing hair. Aunti and I had no idea how he did it. It was spiked but each strand of hair was separated perfectly and spiked in awesome ways. Someone had to have a lot of patience to do their hair like that. He was my hero.
Anyways...Projekt Revolution was awesome. Gerard is officially gay. Aunti was kissed by an awesome guy. And Asians are super fancy. Seriously. You cannot not capatilize Asians. You get a red squiggly line. They're just too cool. And Aunti got a drunk guy at the show like she always does but this time...he was different. He remembered her from the Korn show. How creepy is that? You get some random drunk guy come up to you and say," Hey! I saw you at the Korn show, didn't I?" I'd run away. She's very brave.
Warning: The photo below was edited so people like you couldn't see how hot it was outside. (That means pit stains)
So, on May 5th and 6th I went to Bamboozle up in Somewhere, New Jersey. There were some pretty god awful bands like From First to Last, Taking Back Sunday, HelloGoodbye, The Pink Spiders, Lordi, The Early November, The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, Relient K, and Halifax. There were some good people there, too. There was Weird Al Yankovic, Killswitch Engage, Linkin Park, and others that I don't remember the name of. The best part of it that can make anyone happy is...My Chem was there!!!!! Yay!!!!!!!!!!!! Party time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wouldn't have gotten the photos of the show if it weren't for Aunt Christine and Dee. They were up in the handicap section taking pictures for me. They didn't come down in the crowd with me because Dee is old and will fall down and break a hip. Aunt Christine will just get killed by the jumping teenagers.
Okay, so My Chem was there and I nearly had a heart attack because that was my second time seeing them and I was closer than ever but Weird Al was there. Oh, Al. How I love Al so, so much. He did his songs from Straight Outta Lynwood. He did Polkarama!, White & Nerdy, Canadian Idiot, I'll Sue Ya, Amish Paradise, and I'm Fat. I think there was a few more songs but I don't remember them if there was.
HE SHOULD TOTALLY MARRY AUNT CHRISTINE SO WE CAN WHIP AND TUCK AROUND THE HOUSE!!!
I'm too young to even date him. That's out of the question. Besides, I don't love him. I think he's an awesome person and would be a cool friend. Aunt Christine is the one who loooovvvvvveeeeeeesssssss him.
I did meet Killswitch Engage. I really didn't have anything to talk to them about because... I only knew them from Aunt Christine and Vic saying how good of a band they are. After we came home (to the hotel room) on Saturday, Vic went to see if they had a vending machine anywhere in the hotel room. While he was gone he ran into a guy that looked like he could be in a band. Vic introduced himself and started talking to him. Listen, we always make fun of Vic for talking to strangers where ever he goes. He always wants to be someone's friend. This time we lucked out.
Vic ran into the manager again the next day and was talking to him again. He brought the manager down to the breakfast area where me, Dee, and Aunt Christine were. Vic told us that he was the manager of Killswitch. He left then brought the band down so we can meet them. Aunt Christine, Vic, and Dee were talking to them and asked if they could take a picture with me and Aunt Christine (even though it turned out to be a piece of crap). The guys in the back were funny. They were all making faces and pulling on the guitarist's beard. They were nice to meet.
Overall, it was fun. I'd love to do it again except without the hotness during that day and the pain in the feet. Oh well. I'll live. I'm still here, aren't I?
