we almost got lost on the way there, and i was freaking out because i didn't think we'd get there early enough to get a good spot in line, but it turned out to be great because there wasn't really a line at all and we somehow made our way into the smaller group of people that got to go in first and we didn't even wait more than ten minutes.
we got a great spot for the first band, sing it loud. after waiting for what was probably less than an hour they came on and i did not enjoy the fact that i hadn't memorized all the words to their songs yet and felt like a nerd. but i really liked the show they put on. they seemed like pros and got the crowd really involved and were having so much fun on stage. i just loved watching the looks on their faces and their dancing and everything. after their set, we moved back a little in the crowd to get out of the really intense section and met these really great kids. they were the loud obnoxious ones that were doing all the pushing and moshing [which was really funny because how could you mosh to sing it loud and ftsk?]. one had a mohawk [evan] and the other one looked kinda like perez hilton and had a lot of buttons [i think his name was jake], then there was this other really enthusiastic kid who had a hat on and these two guys who i thought were twins because they looked exactly alike. they made me realize that its not fun when you're being pushed around, but when you're doing the pushing its so much more fun. i felt a little mean being part of the moshpit, remembering the ap tour and how horrible it got because of that group of kids behind us who would not stop being dumb, but it was extremely fun, which is all that matters.
i kindof enjoyed hit the lights, but they had their vocals up way to loud and it was hard to understand them. they weren't as interesting or fun as sing it loud, but i knew more of the words to their songs and i do like their music. im pretty sure that it was during their set that our friends moshed the most. i remember there was this girl behind me who had braced her arms against my back, so every time someone pushed into me, i would run into her arms and it kinda hurt a lot. during the time in between hit the lights and forever the sickest kids, jake and evan were like, we need to lift someone now, who wants to be lifted? and i was like, fuck yes me please. they got me up on their shoulders [which i must admit was awkward because evan is a lot taller than jake] and i was happy because just then they played chokechain by 3OH!3 and i did the hand symbol and everyone else in the crowd saw me and did it along with me. the security has pretty strict rules about that thing, and they hit me with their flashlights pretty quick, but i still enjoyed it.
then forever the sickest kids came on and i was incredibly excited. i cant even describe how much i love them. it was great to hear how excited everyone else was for them, too. because at the ap tour i felt like i was the only kid in the crowd who was there to see them. but during their first song, im pretty sure it was catastrophe, i think someone hit my face and my glasses went flying. i was scared out of my mind, but we got everyone to clear a circle really fast and get out their phones for light and evan miraculously found them completely unscathed. like, they weren't bent or scratched or anything. he pretty much saved my life, that boy. i enjoyed ftsk so much though. jonathan had an adorable headband on and kept doing this thing with his mic stand and austin kept making hilarious faces/noises and kyle's hair was amazing. jonathan told us about their campaign to buy a well for a tribe in africa. they are the coolest kids on the block, no syke.
after the kids were done, they were like 'we're gonna be hanging out at our merch table between our set and the cobras, so come see us and we'll chat'. we went to buy merch and talk to them, but i guess we didn't look hard enough, but we couldn't find them and wanted to get a good spot to see cobra starship so we just went back. we met the really enthusiastic kid in the hat and he led me and ashley through the crowd to evan and jake. sometime during cobras set we lost them though. i absolutely loved watching cobra starship. gabe was probably the coolest guy on earth, and i just, i dont know, but i really really enjoyed everything he did. from his dancing and his outfit to his interaction with vicky and him making ryland shake his ass for us. they just work so well together and have so much fun. i love that about them. at one point gabe pointed out our friend with the mohawk and told a story about how kids used to be really stereotypical and only hung out with kids who looked exactly like them and the kids who had mohawks didn't hang out with the kids like him for wearing this one brand of sweatshirt and he really liked us for being accepting of each other and a whole bunch of other stuff. during snakes on a plane they brought this guy on stage to rap travis' verse and talked about how he was a child molester. after they were done and the crowd was chanting for one more song, ryland came back out and took us to 'pleasure ryland', and they played another song about pleasure [guilty pleasure] and gabe told us to never be afraid to shake our asses and ryland called him his 'favorite kind of creepy'. which i liked a lot.
it was a really good time. im going to have to go back to that venue more often because it was really great. =]
