I find it appalling that there's people in college that aren't signed up to vote. If you're in college, you should be registered to vote, and if you're not, then you're a disgrace to the human race. End of story.

I love that I can talk to my grandma like she's a friend. She's in her 70s, but we share the same views about drinking and smoking and a lot of political stuff.

So I guess I'll finally update about Cobra/GCH.

We get there about 30 mins before doors (planned on an hour or more but we stopped for Bubble Tea and Qdoba, which is a cheap ripoff of Chipotle btw).

There's a fucking long ass line and I call Ashley hoping she's there already but she's not :( so we stand at the end. PS why pay 7 bucks to park when you can park at a meter for free? Thanks.
It takes forever for them to start letting people in and by the time we get to the door, the first band's playing which I figure out is Patent Pending (who I'm supposed to be watching for the Syndcate) so I start freaking out that I'm going to miss them and everything but we get in okay and everything's fine. They actually go over really well which makes me pretty happy because sometimes bands don't go over too well. Like a punk band on a GCH crowd? Could go either way. They did a lot better than Hangar 18. But we'll get to them later.

So after Patent Pending is done playing, we go back by merch and I get this atrocious Cobra Starship shirt. It's got a Cobra on it, and a spaceship. Nuff said. Talked to Joe from PP. Told him I was from the Syndicate and he was ecstatic that I was (we were) there. Went back down and suffered through Hangar 18. Don't make inappropriate and rude comments about women in a mixed crowd. Don't talk about finger fucking and 7th graders. It's gross. It's not funny. When I saw girls laughing about it, I was even more offended. When they finished we were in mode to start getting to the front for Cobra. I saw Gabe off stage and told him it was my birthday and asked him if he'd sing Hollaback Boy for me and he told me he couldn't because Gwen sued him and I was like "WTF?" and he's like "Yea, fucking bitch right?"

Cobra's intro music is so 80s. It's ridiculous.

They came on and we pushed forward and got right next to the speakers. Dance party all the way through the set and when "Snakes on a Plane" came on we busted it out. It was on. We brought it hard. As soon as Cobra got off stage "Sexyback" started playing and me and Karissa were like "EXCUSE ME MAKING UP FOR LAST NIGHT!" and we danced and sang our asses off. Amazing. Um, the speaker almost killing me? Not. So I left the front and my spot for GCH which is why all my GCH pics suck.

Megan was there and totally trashed. Like "I can't think or stand up" trashed. She was gonneeeee. She was bumping and grinding with her friends to GCH. She even pulled me in to dance during "Papercuts". During GCH's set I was dying of thirst and Karissa needed money to get a Cobra shirt so instead of paying Creepy's OUTRAGEOUS atm fees we got in the car and drove to the Shell station down the street. I got Crunch and Munch and Mountain Dew and she got some Vault. We put them all into her bag and went back into the Creepy. We pretty much missed all of Gym Class' set. I'm kinda bummed that I missed hearing new songs (particularly Clothes Off) but what can you do. 98% of the kids took stuff. There were some douchebags that weren't even trying to be polite. Rushmore Academy douchebag. Joey O noticed me for the first time when we've been going to shows together for at least 3 years? WTF?

Ashley bragged about her experience at 11:25 PM.
