So yesterday was a very eventful day. haha I met new people and probably had a lot more fun that I've had in a while/expected.

Jessi and I both skipped school yesterday so that we could leave early to get there early because doors were pushed to 4pm instead of a normal time because they had the Neon Dance Party going on at the Bottleneck. Lame. So we got to the Bottleneck basically at the same time as Karissa. Blasted some Sexyback and got a metered parking place on the street. SCHWEET. haha right by HTL's van. Parking for a quarter rules my life. Thanks Lawrence for owning so hard. We got there at about 3:30 and supposedly doors were at 4 and Karissa had all these posters and shit to put up for Day of show. We sniped This Providence posters outside while people started to talk shit about us because of our shirts. Mine was the most obvious one (aka the green one). The phrases are actually reversed beause I thought of the saying for Karissa's and her saying is on mine. haha So people kept coming up to me and asking what my shirt said. The Paramore's merch girl (who's a pretentious bitch btw) asked what mine said and then was showing it off to everyone. This Providence's tech guy took a picture of my shirt with his sk. Went inside to put up posters and Paramore was having a meet and greet? Kinda awkward. Basically just a bunch of girls hanging around Hayley. We put all these posters up and Hayley was like "what do those girls shirts say?" and was pointing us out to everyone and everyone was whispering and several dudes from Paramore came up to us and was like "what does your shirt say?" "Do you not like them?" "Is it a joke?" "Do you like US?" Bummed around so we wouldn't have to go back outside. Did I mention it was fucking hot as hell in Lawrence? I thought I was back in Phoenix. So we went and gave the dude who was dealing with meet and greet kids our tickets and so we got to stay inside :D Sidled some bitches out and then they proceeded to talk shit about me for an extended period of time (I say get over it). Saw Rossmonster and basically held my arms out until he would come and give me a hug. I told him how much I missed him and he asked how I was. I basically became stupid girl who has a crush on a boy and can't speak mode. Karissa said I looked like a lost puppy. He had this plastic bag and I asked him what was in it and he said clothes and I was like "Awww that's cute! you shop!" hahaha

Saw Ben. he's in like all of my pictures haha

This Providence was pretty good. The lead singer looks like a cross between Brenden Mendez/Adam Lazarra/Billiam Beckett/Dave Mellilo. Weird genes huh? Apparently he's Australian which I missed. He's pretty gorgeous. At the end of the night when I was handing stuff out he walked past me and I just stared at him and he looked at me kinda funny. haha

HTL!!! My boyyyyysssssss. I got so excited because I haven't seen them in 2 months. They start out with some weird intro that's new and then went into "Talk Us Down" which is something they've never done before (it's always the Call Out) and kind of switched up their set list. They played "Speakers Blown" which I've never heard live before and they brought back 100 times! Yayyy :D When they started playing "bodybag" everyone went crazy and people started crowdsurfing? Which was a very bad idea because there's no barricade and instead of SOMEONE (*cough* Evan *cough*) grabbing them and throwing them offstage they just got pushed right back into the crowd (excuse me douchemar?) . Shouted out Sexyback lyrics and got Nick's attention. hahha So we all got pushed and there was some douchebag girl who was like "OMGAH I NEED AIR!!!" and I was like why don't we pull her out? and her older dudeguyfriend was like shoving all my friends and crap to be up front with his pussy girlfriendsisterguydude. She gashed her head FROM HER OWN CAMERA! Whatev. Metronomes 2x. Girls screaming everytime Colin came over to our side. Gah. He's the new pete wentz. haha GIVE US DRUM STICKS. We all left the front after them and got out and just walked across the stage. hahaha

During Cute we left and went back to the Jetta and Karissa's car so that we could get the cds and crap I brought to pass out. Karissa had Decaydance baggies that came with all her atlantic records stuff. Apparently she works for Pete Wentz....JUST LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE. hahaha So we sat in the back while Cute continued and stuffed baggies. Karissa's face when they first came on was priceless. She was like "OMG WHAT'S THAT NOISE?!!" They played a REALLY short set, like 5 songs? We went to our cars when they first started and when we came back they were on their second to last song. Go figure that one out. They're direct support and they have a full length out but only play 5 songs? During their last song aka single aka "There's A Class For This" I was like "We should fucking crash that pit" and Karissa was like "LET'S GO" so we ran into the crowd and started pushing people and made our own dance pit. haha Everyone was staring at us. I think I got pushed once. So we left the pit before they ended to risk not getting killed. hahah

Waited around forever for Paramore to go on. Seriously, for a band that only has one cd they took fucking forever to go on stage. Some girls apparently called me a bitch and a slut because I asked them to move so I could go to the bathroom and I guess maybe I accidently brushed up against one of them? One of them had horrendous hair and eyebrows and so did the other one. Chrissy described them as hardcore AFI fans. haha Good thing I had my security with me.

Dance party to Paramore. I kept telling Ross I'd buy him a beer since they had 75 cent Miller High Lifes. I'll pay a buck fifty to get that kid drunk. hahahaha We asked him about his voicemail and he actually got it. HAHAHAHAH He was like "Yea, at first I didn't know who it was and then eventually I figured out it was you guys." Omar got a new phone so he hasn't listened to the voicemail on his old phone he said but he said he'd go listen to it. Oh god. "ADD ME BACK ON MYSPACE YOU ASSHOLE!"

Saw Davemissyourface and gave him big hugs. All the HTL boys were hanging around eachother and signing stuff. One of them saw my shirt and was like "OMG! YOU'RE THOSE GIRLS! Everyone's been talking about you." Nick told us that Cute knew and the were talking about us and Nick said that when he found out he was like "Man, that's mean. Who would wear shirts like that to your show and now I realize it's you! You're that bitch!" hahahaha Nick was like "Omar! Hey Omar! They're the girls with the shirts!" Omar was like "NO! Take that off right now" and tried to take my shirt off. We told him he missed seeing my boobs earlier and he's like "Yea, well I didn't miss much" and gave me this shit eating grin and was like "i'm just kidding" and I slapped him and then he proceeded to knee me several times, hitting me in the baby maker once. I asked Colin about the secret song and he said he'd do it if Omar was in and Omar was like "you have to talk to Colin" and I told him I already did and so he said that he'd do it but he doesn't have an acoustic gutiar (well TP does).

We were hanging out by the bar most of the night and we saw the drummer of Cute and someone pointed out my shirt to him and he was like "ha is that a joke?" and I realized that when you tell people it's a joke the look of murder fades from their face so I said that it was and he was like "give me a hug" and I did and Evan took a picture of us and and one of the other dudes from Cute got in the picture. I want that picture haha The drummer is gorgeous so I didn't let go after we hugged and I was like "you're cute" and he told me I was cute as well and I told him that I heard he was the cutest member of the band and he's like "that's because it's true." So we sat there hanging out with him most of the time. They cleared out the venue and even though Chrissy and Jessi aren't 21 no one bothered them. hahaha We also realized that Karissa and I are older than everyone in Cute. Tom's only 18! hahahaha He asked how old I was and when my birthday was and wished me an early happy birthday. Everyone was like "you know about the shirts??" and he's like "yea, but it's okay because we hugged and she's nice." haha He was in my corner. When I went with karissa to look at merch Tom was like "What? You're leaving and won't even give me a hug goodbye?" and so I went and gave him a hug and told him I'd be right back. The shirt I wanted from HTL they were all out of and the merch dude tried to sell me other stuff that I didn't want (I don't like new people and we'll get to the reason why this guy is a fucking pervert). While I was up there the This Providence merch guy tried to start shit with me and was asking me if I liked them and then wanted a reason why I didn't like them and I said "do I need to justify to anyone my reasons for not liking a band?" "no" "then why does it matter?" and he's like "you don't have to make a shirt about it" and then said he was just kidding. Asshole. So I went back over to Tom and I told him that the TP guy was a dick and he's like "Casey?" and asked someone to yell out his name and then when he looked over Tom put his arm around me showing that we were cool and then he was all nice. ass. Tom kept asking me if I'd make out with HTL's merch dude and then Nick and I was like "but Nick has a gf" and Tom kept saying that he didn't. hahaha He was like "do you think he's cute?" about EVERYONE and when I said that I'd kiss Nick if he was single Anthony (HTL's new merch dude) was like "you just said I was cute! I'm seriously hurt now. You're going through the whole HTL crew!" and Karissa's like "they don't know your history and still said that." hahahaahha

We found out that everyone was planning on going to Buffalo Wild Wings and I was like "we should go because I love wings and we have to keep HTL on a short leash."

Everyone walked and we drove while blasting JT, first it was "Future Sex/Love Sound" which then turned to "Love Stoned/I Think She Knows." Parked (free!)

Get inside and they're like "is anyone else here?" and I notice HTL is there so I'm like "should we be obvious?" and everyone's like "Does it matter?" So we got a table by theirs. Slowly more people came in...Shaant (who we've been avoiding like the black plague. Originally he was sitting in a booth so he was looking directly at us but thankfully I had my back to him. Apparently he wanted to talk to us? Yea....glad that didn't happen. hahah) Tom, Paramore dudes and pretentious bitch who continued to give us dirty looks.

Our waiter was HUGE. He was 6'9" and Chrissy decided she wanted to get her picture with him. I ordered wayyy too many wings. I thought I could eat 12 but I only ate like 6. haha Throughout the whole meal Tom sat at the HTL table and kept yelling my name. He put a menu over his face so I wouldn't know it was him but I knew it was. He was sitting next to Dave and Dave was just smiling at me. Tom kept giving me neck massages and then asked me to give them to everyone else. I gave one to Justin (Cute's manager) and some dude I didn't know. Tom kept wanting me to give one to Anthony (HTL's merch) and I was like no! After we got our food Anthony randomly came by and grabbed a cheese stick and dipped it in marinara sauce. Asshole! He walked off with it and fucking ate it! Yea....we don't like it. We want to start a petition to bring Evan back.

Jessi paid for HTL's table plus our own. Theirs was 120 bucks alone (that's with food and beer) and then she paid for ours. When she told our waiter he thought she was crazy. He was like "ARE YOU SURE?!?!" and she's like YES! JUST DO IT! And when the waiter told them that their tab was covered by her they were like "Are you serious???" and everyone got up and gave her a hug and gave her a standing ovation. Omar was the first one out of his seat to go give her a hug and kissed her on the cheek. hahaah Omar told me that my friends were cooler than me. He eventually came and kissed us all on the forehead. Kinda weird.

Jessi wanted a group picture so we gathered all 19 of us (minus Shaant and paramore bitch and other non-tour people) and had a waiter take it for us. We were gonna take it with Jessi's camera and with my camera but hers wasn't working so mine was the only one that got the picture.

End result. Best picture ever.
We then got a picture with our VERY tall waiter. haha


Tomthen decided that since he's so short he also wanted a picture with Evan.


Then we started to walk back to the venue because Colin said we could just clap and he'd sing. Everyone agreed it would work. I should have driven. I would have gotten back there faster. Half way down the street I realized Dave's cookies were in my car and CIWWAF crew dudes had to stop at EVERYTHING and get their picture taken. The metal man, a carousel ride....everything.
Example

We get back to HTL's van and everyone's packing up. Omar pinky swears that they're playing St. Louis with All Time Low at the beginning of October and they'll play it then (I think they just wanted to get out of it). Goodbye hugs. I tell Dave about the cookies and he said he'd follow me back to my car and he'll get them then. As I'm in the van people outside start smacking my ass and grabbing it. I think only Justin and Chrissy did it but it felt like maybe more. Anthony HTL's merch guy ASKED IF HE COULD SMACK MY ASS! and I was like "No! You're creepy and I don't know you!" and he kept asking and was like "I'll only do it if you want me to " "I don't want you to! You're creepy!" and he's like "you're missing out" and I said that I'm sure I wasn't. Can you believe that? How fucking creepy. Nick asked if he could smack my ass and then told me I had to stick my ass out so I did and he's like "that's not sticking your ass out! COME ON!" and so I did and then he pulled his arm back and really gave it to me. haha

Kept hugging Tom. I'd walk away and he'd want to give me more hugs <3 src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v339/yourlegsaresmooth/randomness/IMG00727.jpg">
I seriously look 12 in this picture.

Ashley bragged about her experience at 4:48 PM.
