karma bit me in the butt before the concert started--actually, it stuck to my butt. ti & i arrived early at the meridian, so we went to the line, sat down, & waited. after a while, my butt ached so i decided to switch positions. it was a slight diffuculty to get up because i had sat on some gum. ew. much. i began trying to pull it off but stopped cause it would seem like i was just picking at my butt. :X luckily, i was wearing a long shirt, so i was able to pull it over the spot. we got inside & decided to buy the merch later & attempt to get a place near the stage, so we get into the concert room and got near the front. that was good. we stood there got a terribly, strong thirty minutes? about so. if not, ti correct me. while we were waiting, people piled up and there was this really hott guy that had come with his friend. then the guy & his friend started talking to us [technically ti cause i didn't say anything] and talked about the last paramore concert at java jazz & who we came to see. after an eternity, quietdrive was finally up, and i had listened to a couple of songs before i knew of their coming, and i though they were alright as in good but i could get bored of them after a while. but when they performed, it was simply amazing. they had so much energy. [i agreed with the girl the guy came with later that quietdrive]. also all of them looked practically completely different from the photos online of them, so i was like wowed especially of kevin [lead singer] because i think he was the most dramatic. the last song they played was "time after time" in the rock form. it was so cute. everyone sang along. anyway, i was sad as their set ended, and i was already slightly sweating. next was this providence! dan came out on the stage with a bouquet, & i wanted one so bad. he, dan, began throwing about half the bouquet into the crowd. as the set went one, he threw the other half. providence also but on an exciting performance. at one point during their set, dan went near the crowd to go in a little by the barrier which was about a foot away from the stage, and it was the worst. everyone pushed forward to touch him, & since i was near the front, it was crazy. that caused more body heat, pushing, sweating, shoving, & crowding. thanks dan. ;] during the concerti also got a souvenier [sp?] because sean first threw water in the crowd [it was practically an orgasm cause i was so frreaking hot & sweaty]. then he threw the actual bottle into the crowd & hit me. :| so i then picked it up, & now i have it. :] last and certainly not least since more than half the crowd was there to see them, paramore. instead of the usual five or so mintues between switching instruments, sound check, & fixing up or whatever. paramore took like ten to fifteen minutes. it was terrible because we were already squished, ready for their set, & dying of thirst. some people, while waitng, were being pulled out of the crowd because they began fainting. then the body guard/bouncer began handing out bottles of ice cold water. unfortunately, i didn't get any. but he also up the fan & it was felt good along with the random whiffs of the a/c. finally, paramore came on and it was awesomely crappy. everyone began jumping around, crowd surfing, and pushed again. everyone was now soaking wet. but paramore put on a worthy show. as their set ended & they left the stage, every began yelling for an encore. they were screaming "one more" repeatedly. then paramore came back on & everyone yelled. by then, ti & i had made our way to the back of the crowd to get merch but stopped because paramore came back on & yelled "two more!". so we stayed for two more songs, "born for this" & "pressure". in the middle of pressure, ti & i went to the bathroom to wash up real fast & then rush to the merch table. it took a while to find the members to get pictures, buy merch, go back & find the members for signatures. it was good though. we got pictures with gavin, sean, dan, david, & kevin. but only found sean, dan, david, & kevin for autographs. after as we went down the stairs cause we were being ushered out & to "hurry up", we got victory records 'new music sampler' [it's on the front of my binder now]. we sat then by the trailers/vans to wait for our ride. i got kinda worried if dad didn't come in time & the band vans left, so it was just us in downtown... at midnight... luckily, dad came & we were going home. <3 05.12.07 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- the merch we got with the remaining money we had was a this providence shirt & a quietdrive shirt. they're pretty much awesome. i'll post pictures of them later. we were kinda hungry, so we stopped my mcdonalds for some food & ordered a cheeseburger, fries, & a snack wrap. then those gaylords ripped us off by not giving us a snack wrap [we noticed that as we got home]. & as ti said they "ripped a dollar twenty-eight from us". i went to bed around one & i just collasped. i woke at about ten & was like, "that was a fast sleep". anyway, that was my awesome weekend. how was yours? :D |
