I got my Homegrown pics developed yesterday. You can see them over here on my online photo album. Enjoy!

I probably won't have my Used pics developed until after Saturday because I need to use the rest of my roll at the Finch show on Saturday.

Yesterday was really fun. I got to hang out with my two favorite Tucson boys, Clint and Dan. We showed up at the show at like 6:30 and there was this big line and as we were walking to get into the end of the line Jen from Tucson saw me and was like "Ashley!" and I was all "sweet! now I can cut in line!" So we all cut in line with Jen and her homies and it was fun times. Clint had to wait in the willcall line because he didn't have a ticket and then we found out the show was sold out but he got in anyways. Hehee. I saw Angie and Terissa and they didn't have tickets either so I doubt they got to go in. I made friends with Jen's friend Jake and her other girlie friend. Me and Jake were talking about the ghett-o of Scottsdale. LOL. "We wear Abercrombie and Fitch cuz we be po' and can't afford no Gucci and Prada shit yo!" LOL. It was great. Then we started beat boxing and I got all light headed and whatnot. I'm a loooser. LOL. Then all these people that knew Jen were trying to cut in line and I was being a super-mega bitch. I was all like "Ahh fuck no! You ain't getting in front of me bitch!" Apparently I scared the poor girls off. Go me! Go me!! LOL. Then when they FINALLY opened the doors at 8 those kids were trying to push their way in front of me and of course I was having NOTHING to do with that so I was shoving them out of the way. LOL. After I got in I headed for the merch stand and bought this cute tattoo t-shirt from the Used girls. Then I found Jake and all them and got my spot. I was next to this stupid drunk girls. UGH! They were giving us the dirty eye because we were singing the Used to figure out what song it was that we were thinking of. (It was Noise + Kisses) During New Transit Direction (who are pretty good btw) I decided to leave because I knew it was gonna get fucking crazy during the Used and I was already getting shoved around so I left and found this spot over to the left hand side of the stage and stood there the entire time. True, I couldn't see worth shit OR take any pics, but it was better than what most people got to see. The Blood Brothers really blew nuts. I couldn't understand a goddamn word they were screaming. Blech! This kid next to me was into them, but then again he didn't have the best taste in music. LOL. Taking Back Sunday came on next and they were fantastic as always. Adam didn't have his cane this time so I'm glad that he's getting better. I went fucking nuts during their set. I was screaming along with Adam. I'm surprised I still have my voice left over. LOL. It was amazing how many kids knew their songs. They were singing so loud that you could hear them without Adam having to put his microphone in the crowd. I was hoping I'd get to meet Adam but after the show when I went and talked to their tour manager he said that Adam was at the hotel. Kinda odd eh? So yea then we were waiting for the Used to come on and I was talking to these girls who I was standing by and one of them was like "so you like the Used?" and I was like "Yea" and she was like "so who's your favorite?" and I was like "um, well Brandon and Quinn are kinda cute" and she was like "OMG!!! Brandon's my favorite and Quinn's her favorite!!! They're so0o0o0o hot!" I was just like "ooookay." I saw them after the show waiting for autographs and she was like "If I see Brandon i'm gonna cry!!!" Sweet Christ child. They came on and of course everyone started screaming and freaking out and they played "Maybe Memories" first. Totally awesomeness. I really got into it. Everyone was bouncing and screaming along. It was great :) They played a relatively short set. Jen found me and we started to leave after they finished their last song so we could go wait by the tour buses for them. Then they came back out and played "On My Own" as their encore and we stuck around to hear it. I saw Dan and I watched them play the rest of it with him and Jen and Jake and Clint. After that we went outside by the tour bus and waited for everyone to come out. Bert was the first one out. No one could see me because I had these two middle-aged women in front of me and I was like "ahhh! I can't see!!!!" So they pulled me up in front of them. Yay! Bert was giving me this crazy eye when he was hugging the women. I had Bert sign my ticket and I got a pic with him and then I saw Brandon and told him how awesome he is at drumming and he was like "awww! thanks!" and I got him to sign my ticket and got a pic with him too. Dan got his video camera and was video-taping all of them and Bert kept hamming it up for the camera. He's an odd duck. LOL. Then Jen told me that Jeph was over to the side so I went and saw him and told him that I liked his tattoos and I showed him mine and he was like "straight edge? that's awesome!" and I was like "are you sXe?" and he was like "no, I don't drink or smoke or anything but I used to be into drugs." He signed my ticket and I got a pic with him. Then we were waiting for Quinn to come out and Dan decided to put this sticker on the Used's tour bus and was writing his band's name and site on it and it wasn't working so he decided to just write the website in Sharpie on the bus. LOL. I was laughing so hard that I was pissing my pants. Jen was like "DAN!! What are you doing?!?!? You can't do that!!!!" BWAHAHAHA! Dan't opening that they'll see it and wanna check out the site to find out who wrote on their bus. LOL. I told Ryan to do the same thing. BWAHAHAHA! Then Quinn FINALLY came out but Jen and Jake had to leave so they didn't get to meet him. He signed my ticket and I got a pic with him. He's a very, how can I say, sick individual. LOL. I had to listen to him tell all these dead baby jokes and these two guys kept trying to beat him out but Quinn inevitably beat them both. I have a head full of all these sick baby jokes that I intend to spread like Herpes. BWAHAHAHAHA! That's funny shit. Dan got them all on tape too. So Dan, Clint and I were all chilling for like an hour with them and then I realized it was one and that we should probably leave so I said my goodbyes to Dan and Clint and came home. All in all a totally awesome night. I'll post the pics when I get them back.
