Jacks Mannequin at UB

Annie and I got to the University of Buffalo around 11am and had basically one of the craziest days ever. We couldn't bring cameras into the venue so Walt had to walk back to where we were waiting in line and get Annie's camera, I kept mine because I figured I could just hide it like I always do. Then Annie and I went to Subway and I got a sandwhich and a cookie...both were subpar. Then we got back in line to wait and eat said sandwhich. Then we found out that when we were let in at 4pm we were had to go through metal detectors and put our phones in a tray while we walked through. So then I started freaking out because I still had my camera and there was no way I was going to be able to sneak it in. So we called Walt and he said he was in the library. So we walked to the library to give him the camera. On the way there, however, Annie had a minor mishap with a manhole. She fell through.

Once we finally calmed down and Annie was able to get herself up, we continued on to the third floor of the library to meet Walt. Then we headed over to the commons and bought a disposable camera to sneak in, just in case somehow Annie met Bobby. Then we got back in line, only to find out bags and purses weren't allowed in. So we made a second trip to the library to give Walt Annie's purse. Finally around 3pm we got back in line and stayed there until doors opened a little after four. Once we got in Annie got in line to go in while I got the tickets at will call. Then I handed her ticket to her once she was on the other side of security and I got in line to go through security. We hauled ass down to the floor and Annie got baricade and I was right behind her.

The first band to play was One Republic. They were boring and I disliked them greatly. Then Trapt played, again I disliked them greatly. Their singer looked like a total douchebag. Reel Big Fish played third, I don't particularly like ska, but they were a good live band, very entertaining. "do you kiss your mother with that mouth?" "no but i kiss yours!!" ahahaha. Jacks Mannequin played third and amazing of course. At one point these two girls behind me got in a bitch fight and the black girl would not back down and she kept saying she was gonna fuck the other girl up. There wasn't really any securtiy by the baricade, just kids who worked there, and one of them kept looking to see what was happening but he had no idea what to do. It was lame but kind of amusing. Anyway, yeah. Jacks was fucking great. After Jacks, All American Rejects played; Annie and I left the crowd because we really didn't feel like watching.

We went up to the main lobby area and we saw Jeff, Tom and Fred from CIWWAF. Jeff said hi and said he was going out to his car and would be right back. About a half hour later we saw him again while we were sitting on some stairs and he said he'd be right back...he didn't come back. But either way it was nice seeing him again. Annie went back in to listen to a song and found Jay from JM while she was in there. So I went back in but she chickened out on getting a picture. So then we left again and sat for a little while. Then randomly we went back in hoping to find Bobby, and we did. We ran down the bleachers to the floor where he was, and we just stood at a distance for a couple minutes. Annie wouldn't go up to him and ask for a picture so I had to. I got a picture with him and then Annie did and then that was that. We said thank you and walked away. It was extremely awkward. Annie got her picture though. so we were able to leave.

And to end the night, once we got back to Rochester we stopped at Schaller's for some food and while we were waiting an extrememly drunk lady came up to me and grabbed my shoulder and asked if my name was Emma. I said no and she walked away. WTF. I really wonder about my life sometimes
