Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

Ok, this is my second try at posting this. Hopefully it works this time *fingers crossed*

So yeah, there's lots of stuff to cover so here goes:

First, we're outside, waiting in line and this homeless dude who smells like he pissed all over himself comes up to us and asks if we have a cigarette he could buy off us. We tell him no and he moves on. A couple minutes later he comes back and asks if we have any cigarettes he can buy (again...) At this point I'm thinking Well, what did I expect. My uber bad a** jacket seems to make other people assume that I have cigarettes, joints or rolling paper on me...it's happened so many times i should expect it by now... but whatever Anyways, we tell him no again, and instead of leaving he just stands there staring at me. He's kind of creeping me out, so I look away but he keeps standing there staring at me. Mina decides she's had enough and yells that we don't smoke so we don't have any cigarettes so goodbye! And I guess he got the picture because he moved on down the line.

Then Mina and Lyrana go off to get Lyrana some food because she's just come from the class she instructs. So off they go, and come back a couple of minutes later with donuts, brownies, a milkshake and gum. Holy crap were they ever good!

The line starts moving and we finally get inside. We wander up near the stage, but not all THAT close. Now some of the ******** there decide to start screaming and moshing with no music or band onstage. Way to go dipwads. Anywas, that stopped after a while, so that was good.

Death from above 1979 finally come on and everyone starts screaming and moshing. Lyrana and Aeka start drifting off towards the stage, but Mina and I stayed back because Duckie wasn't so fond of moshing. We kinda stood infront of her and blocked the moshers from hitting her. The drummer from the band let a person from the audience come up on stage and drum and it was friggen awesome.
Then there was this one girl that kept yelling that he was friggen hot while he was talking and he told her to shut the ******** up. LOL, it was friggen awesome!
After the band ended, we kinda just stood there, trying to see if we could spot Aeka and Lyrana, but before we could, the next act (Metric) came on.

Metric was a little more mellow, but they were still friggen awesome. Duckie was getting kind of hot, so we went back to get her some water. While we were back near the bar, some ******** yelled out that Metric sucks, and in doing so unleased the fury that is Emily (the lead singer). Em starts cussing her out. She was all like 'who the ******** are you to say that?! ******** YOU b***h!!! blah blah blah' Then she goes back stage, gets a full water bottle, throws the water at the girl, then the empty bottle and then spits at her. Aeka apparently got hit by a stray loogie... off to eBay with you!!! >.<
Anyways, she was like 'we're going to take a ******** vote here. who thinks we ******** suck?! *small cheer* and who thinks we're ******** AWESOME?! *deafining cheers* Thats ******** right b***h, and don't you forget it!!!!" and then the music continued.

After Metric was done, we decided we HAD to find Aeka and Lyrana. So off we go. Some people wouldn't let me through and I was like 'don't worry, I'm coming back through after' which wasn't ENTIRELY untrue....I did eventually leave... when the concert was over, but that's beside the point. ANYWAYS, so we find them, but Lyrana's still a little too far away to hear me and I'm yelling at her, so this kid starts trying to get her attention. I'm trying to move towards her and this other guy lifts his arm out of the way, gets a sneaky ninja -like look and puts his arm around my shoulders. I'm thinking to myself Ok, not the most original move, but I'm sure I would have loved it... if I were 12. As is, no points I moved away and he got the point.

So yeah, the band came on and i got the girl infront of me (who was considerably taller) to snap some photos for me, but apparently my batteries crapped out because I've got about 3 shots of the band and a whole bunch of black screens. Damnation, of course they die AFTER Ben takes off his shirt stressed

So yeah, the moshing starts and was awesome. There were times when I was completely off the ground, but I was still upright because there were so many people packed in around me. It was crazy. I always seemed to be on the outside of the mosh circles, so I'd keep having these sweaty, nasty, fat three dudes with no shirts smacking into me. Friggen wonderful...

Then there was this guy right beside me who was putting people up to crowdsurf, and I was REALLY tempted. I mean, I wanted to, but not so keen on the groping. I probably would have if I had been wearing a belt that was actually tight enough. But yeah, memo to self for next time.

And holy crap, now I can see why Aeka loves Ben so much. He's friggen hilarious (his speech before The Ex heart and the whole 'i'll shine your shoes for a shirt' when people threw peanuts at him), he's got that old-style chivalry going on (the 'don't touch a ******** lady!' bit), he's smart and opinionated ('now I want you all to stick up your middle fingers and on the count of three yell ******** george bush. one, two THREE ******** GEORGE BUSH!!!!) and he's just all around awesome! Especially minus his shirt ninja

So yeah, my ears were ringing all night, I got almost no sleep, I didn't want to get out of bed the next morning, but the most excellent music was more than worth it, I had a ********' awesome time (as oh so eloquently put by Mina) and we're going to be going to the next concert they have in town.
