If any of you saw the news last week you knew about the nor'easter that came through the Norfolk/VA Beach area. Wednesday night we were of course in it. It wasn't as bad as it was the next day, but standing the rain was not all that fun. Though I did meet some pretty cool people via my passing out of stickers (and I'll get to that soon about how cool one person was) and posters.
Because of the storm my friend Sean didn't get to come to the show which really fucking bummed me out.
In my passing out of the stickers I met this girl named Kelly. She was getting her tickets from the window and then turned to me and goes 'do you want this early entry pass to meet Boys Like Girls?' and I'm like 'is it free?' and she goes 'yeah! I won't charge you for it' and then my brain is thinking more along the lines of 'omgomgomg I can get on barricade!!!' so I answered 'YEAH!'
So we went in together and got to meet Boys Like Girls. They were pretty nice. The lead singer must have been drunk. When thye came out and girls started screaming he tried to run off twice. It was awesome. And while we were waiting I had half the notion to go sneak into the group of meet and greet kids for Cobra. I would have rather met them then Boys Like Girls. BUT WHATEVA!
I met the band and got a free autographed poster (which I need to find a place to hang it up at!) and ran downstairs to get right on barricade. My biffle
lunawho managed to squeeze in right next to me which was awesome. So we were right on the barricade all night (well till Cobra finished then I got out of there, but more on that later) . Being on barricade has it's pros and cons. The big pro is your so close to the stage and have a chance of getting things. The major con? Is getting butt raped... I got butt raped...BY GIRLS!
VersaEmerge played first. When I arrived I had serious mixed feelings. It was like 'But they aren't VE without Anthony' but then I'm like rocking out to them! Head banging and everything.
I've decided I still love VersaEmerge but not as much as I used to.
Then it was A Rocket to the Moon. They were super cool and of course The Maine (everyone went fucking insane).
Then my boys and girl came out. It was so awesome.
Cobra started the show with The City is at War and proceeded to play, (not in order) 'Nice Guys Finish Last', Wet Hot American Summer, good Girls Go Bad, Snakes on a Plane (the rap part with Travis McCoy they didn't do but put in Hollaback Boy), Guilty Pleasure, Smile for the Papparazi, Move Like You Gonna Die (I think they sang this. Rosa did they??), Pete Wentz is the Only Reason We're Famous, and Hot Mess.
Move Like You Gonna Die is the only song I'm not definite they sang.
For a band that was just opening they still got to play a good long while, which made me happy. Gabe was awesome and jumped into the crowd like twice. As always his dancing and antics with Victoria was awesome. Suarez posed for a picture for me while he was on stage which made my night and Gabe looked at me at least once. So I was pretty excited for this.
After Cobra finished Rosa and I got the security guy to pull us out of the mosh pit. We went over and hung out at Cobra's merch table for like an hour because I really wanted to meet them to give Gabe and Victoria the cards I made for them. Sadly I never saw them come out.
I wound up getting my pictures taken with Sierra and Blake from VE. Sierra and I had a mini convo about her facial expressions in pictures which was awesome cause when I sent her the picture that night she replied to me, lol-ing at our conversation.
It's taking me like forever to get these pictures posted. Photobucket hates me and Shutterfly apparently doesn't have a HTML code thing.
So what I wind up posting of pictures in the next minute or so might not be everything. I just can't sit here and upload each photo one at a time. I took over 90 pics.
So enjoy :D
