I finally got my SoCo pics developed on the roll from the Allister/TEN show. You can view them by clicking aqui. Allister was so0o0o awesome!!! Eeek!! So I left Ingrid's at like 6:15 and got to the Mason Jar at like 6:30 and saw Jen and her friend Lindsey hanging out by their car and Jen came running towards me screaming and jumped into my car and drove with me 5 feet to the nearest parking spot. Haha. There were only like 20 people in line so we went across the street to Burger King and I got some chicken tenders (which I got ripped off on btw) and 3 nifty crowns. w00t w00t! I was very hyper and loud. So then I got my food and ran back across the street and waited in line with my nifty crown on. I saw The Early November walking around to their van and I was all "Jen, that's The Early November" and she's all "no it's not." :-p I won! Then we found out that since I had American Hi-Fi written on my ticket and they cancelled that I got 4 dollars back since they lowered the ticket price after AHF cancelled. BWAHAHAHAHA! Then we stood back in line and got in really fast. I bought an Allister shirt, Last Stop Suburbia and an Early November shirt. At first I thought Serg was the merch dude so I was all flirting with him and I was like "awww you're so cute! You HAVE to be in the picture with us" and he was all "aww!! you're cute too!" So I got a pic with all the Early November guys and they signed my crown. w00t! Serg told me that if I helped him sell merch and mark shit that he'd give me a free wristband. So I helped him and I got the free wristband. w00t! Then I got Scottie to sign my crown and I got a pic with him and I traded him my black bracelet for one of his glittery glow-in-the-dark bracelets. Then I got a pic with Timmy and he signed my crown too. Then I went back to help Sergio and I got to run some water on stage for the lead singer of Burn Out. My moment of glory. Haha. Jen is so0o0o obsessed with Sergio that it's not even funny. She thinks she's falling for him hardcore even though she only talked to him for like 30 mins. We saw him hanging out with some sluts and she was all "that's his gf" and I'm all "did you SEE him kiss her? NO, they're not together." Turns out Serg is single and ready to mingle. Haha. Anyways she's a drama queen and thought Sergio was gonna all hit on me and I'm like "DUDE! I just MET the kid!" Stupid girl. Haha. So then TEN went on and they rocked the house. I got one of Jeff's drumsticks and Sergio's guitar pick. Jeff signed my drumstick and it was fun times. Then I was like RIGHT by the stage when Allister came on. Timmy was like 2 feet away from me. So awesome. There were only like 50 kids there total. Way small compared to the crowd that Coheed got last time I was at the Jar. I totally rocked out to their set. When they played "Somewhere in Fullerton" (which was their last song) they invited everyone to go on stage so me and Jen were some of the first people to go on stage since we were closest. Everyone went towards Timmy so that they could get close to the microphone and I got shoved towards the back by Mike and Scottie. Scottie saw me rocking out and singing and smiled at me. It was the highlight of my night. So0o0o much fun! I wish every band let the fans go on stage. After the show we hung around for like an hour and mingled with everyone and talked to Allister and TEN some more. We went outside and Sergio was like buzzed/on the verge of being smashed and was writing all over people with Sharpie so I had him write his name on my arm in totally kickass block letters. He wrote "boobs" on Jen's chest with an arrow pointing down and I was all "Jen, you got boobs!" We finally left at like 11:30 and drove home. All in all another fantastic night :)

Ashley bragged about her experience at 5:17 PM.
