Was amazing.
Jensen and I got to Club Infinity around 10:30 am to wait in line, there were maybe four people in front of us. After waiting a little while we went to Bill Gray's to get food and then Walmart. Lenny, Annie, Sam, and Rianna got to the club a few hours later, around 1 maybe....I really don't remember. It was so cold out but we had a lot of fun being obnoxious and not waiting in line. Lenny, Jensen, Ri, Annie and I all went to Party City for awhile to buy some stuff, we were pretty loud and one of the cuties who worked there ended up escorting us up to the checkout. After we got back to the club we got some pizza and just waited until doors. We were right up front and bitches started scotting up trying to cut in line and we all went into defense mode, code word Ocelot. Finally doors opened and I zoomed right in and ended up second in line when to give my ticket. After getting in I ran right up front to the baricade and kept getting glares from one other girl, I spread eagle as far as I could to save spots for everyone else. We were all right up front for the entire show and it was amazing.
Cobra Starship was first. Their set wasn't very long but it was fantastic. So much fun. We all did the dance for Guilty Pleasure. I wish their set could have been longer, but they said they'd be touring again in January.
Sherwood played next. I don't really know their music but they were good, very entertaining.
The Rocket Summer played third. Eh, they were good.
Armor for Sleep were really good. I got an amazing picture of Ben.
I'm really excited to be seeing them again in December with Valencia in Philly. I only knew a couple songs that they played, I wish I had known more. But oh well, next time.
The Academy Is was absolutely amazing. They played 16 songs then came back out for an encore of two songs. William and I definitely made eye contact a couple times and at one point he was over by us and I had my hand out and he grabbed it. The last song they played was Almost Here and towards the end of it William jumped off stage and came down to the baricade and when he came over to our side he was right in front of me and I was holding his hand and had my other arm around him while everyone else was grabbing for him. It was so amazing. Almost Here is probably my favorite song by TAI, that and Down and Out, so it was just so amazing.
By the end of the show I ended up with a Armor set list and pick, and a TAI pick. Fantastic. After the show ended we went up to the merch and got pictures with Ben and Bryce and Vicky-T and Ryland. We were looking for Gabe but we never found him. TAI were doing a meet and greet on the floor where the stage was and no one was allowed in unless they had a wrist band. So we just lurked around it and stared everyone down. Sisky ended up coming over to us and we called his name a few times. He told us about how Mike gave him his black eye and I got a picture with him. Then we went around to the other side to lurk William and eventually right before he had to leave he came over to us and we didn't get pictures but we got to talk to him for a minute. He was so nice and amazing and I love him and I totally forgive him for not coming back over to us at Warped Tour '06 like he promised. And he totally called out Lenny. After everyone left inside we went out to the car and Mike Carden was out there so we got pictures with him. He was quite obviously stoned and had a couple groupies waiting for him off to the side. But it was amusing. Right before getting into Jensen's car we saw Vicky-T so we went over and Lenny got a picture. She's so nice and adorable. And her puppy didn't like me when I tried to pet him before the show.
At one point earlier, when we were talking to Sisky, we heard him say to someone that bus call was at 1am and then they were going to Walmart. So after we left the club at 12:30 we went to Walmart to try and casually run into them. We waited until 2am with no luck. We are kind of pathetic. And then we left for home. Jensen ended up getting on I-90 west instead of east so we had to get off and turn around. We ended up getting back to Rochester around 3:30 and after dropping Annie off at RIT and Rianna of in Greece I got home around 4am. But of course I didn't end up going to sleep until almost 5. Woo.
Fucking Amazing Night.
Katelyn and I got to the Town Ballroom in Buffalo somewhere around 2pm. The line wasn't long at all, there was maybe 8 or 9 people in front of us. After waiting about an hour Beth, MCS's merchie, asked if any of us would help her move boxes, and if we did we'd get a free t-shirt. So Katelyn, Christy, and a couple others went to help move boxes from one big truck to another. We had a line going and we'd just pass them along. The boxes were pretty heavy and full of merch. Katelyn and I had the hardest jobs because she was in the smaller truck stacking the boxes and I was first in the larger truck taking the boxes from Beth and walking to Amelia and handing them off. Also at one point I cut or scraped my hand and once I got off the truck I realized I was actively bleeding a litte; but it wasn't bad I wiped it off and forgot about it. Waiting in line all day definitely sucked. It was so cold and I was already exhausted from the shows to two previous nights, and working before leaving for Buffalo. But we managed to get through it and surprisingly it didn't seem so long.
Right before doors opened we were told camera's were not allowed. So we had to walk back two block to Ellicot St to put Katelyn's camera away. I decided fuck that I want pictures with Metro Station and snuck mine in anyway. By the time we got back they'd already started letting people in so we ran up to the front of the line and just went it and no one said anything. So then we got into the lobby and found the people we'd been talking to in line and stood with them at the door. Katelyn and I ended up on baricade and right after we got in Annie and Jenelle got there and pushed their way to the front.
Metro Station was so good. I wish they could've played longer though. No one else but me, Annie, Kiernan and a few others were singing along. And I'm pretty sure I was the only one on baricade singing and Trace definitely looked over at me a couple times, which I know I got a little fangirl over but I dont care, I controlled myself. Their set was amazing though, so much fun.
Anberlin played second and I switched spots with Jenelle and let her get on baricade because she loves Anberlin. Anberlin were ok, but I wasn't feeling them at all. After their set Annie and I decided we'd had enough and we left the crowd. After we left the crowd we went back to the lobby and say with Mamarazzi for a little while. She is crazy! But yeah we love her. Blake came by and made Annie's life. Mamarazzi talked to him for a little while and every so often Annie or I would say something, but yeah. He was really cool and Annie and I got a picture with him. Since we're weren't supposed to have cameras and I snuck mine in a security guard came over and yelled at me right after Blake walked away. I was just like whatever and I told him I just wanted pictures with people and I didn't take any of the show and he told me if he saw the camera again I had to leave.
Annie and I spent all of Mae's set in the lobby and watched them on the screen. Then when Motion City started we went back in and watched from one of the little balcony things. We actually had a really good view and they weren't that far away because the club is small. About halfway through the set we went back to the lobby to get water. It's a good thing we did because Trace was out there at the merch table. I'd been waiting for him all night and finally he was there and I pussied out and didn't go talk to him.
Finally after the show when he came back again I went and talked to him and it was fine, I functioned and talked and didn't make a complete fool of myself. I got a picture with him and told him how security had already yelled at me. He told me how he got yelled at for walking in the wrong door earlier..and we concluded that the security guard who yelled at him is the same security guard who yelled at me. Then he told me in January they are touring with Cobra Starship (which I think I knew but somehow forgot) cus I kind of freaked and was like uh okay that just made my life now I must go tell Annie. Then I said bye and gave him a hug and walked away to find Annie. After finding Katelyn and Jenelle we got pictures with Matt from MCS and we talked to Blake again and I told him he would definitely see me at multiple dates for the Cobra tour. Jenelle wanted a picture with Trace so we went back over to him which was great because more interaction with him is always a good thing. After getting pictures with everyone (I was kind of bummed I didn't get a picture with Mason but whatever) we went out to where the buses were parked to get pictures with Justin. But after we waiting a few minutes we decided just to leave and we walked back to the car and Annie's dad picked her and Jenelle up there.
So yeah I love Metro Station...and Trace more specifically. He's definitely one of my new favorite people. I can't wait until January when they tour with Cobra Starship. That tour will be amazing. I need to go work on getting a car now so I can attend as many dates
