So I don't know where to start. I guess the beginning is always best. I got up at like 2 and called Pete to see what time they were playing and had a nice little conversation with him. I was surprised that he answered his phone. haha I was expecting his voicemail. I was like "um, hi?" He asked me how I was and everything and I asked him if I got on the guestlist okay and he asked how to spell my last name and to call him when I got there.

I got dressed and looked totally hot when I left the house at 4:30, crimped hair and eyeliner to boot. With the traffic on 270 because they were repaving or whatever it took me an hour to get there instead of 30 mins because it was stop and go for like 5 miles. I got there at like 5pm and apparently they weren't letting anyone park until 5:30 so I went up to willcall to attempt and get my tickets. The dude there said he didn't have the list for FOB and didn't know when he'd be getting it so I left and parked in the Mobil gas station parking lot down the road and chilled out for 20 mins or so. When it was closer to 5:30 I went ahead and parked and then went up to will call and I was freaking out and calling Pete because I didn't think they even got a list and finally the kid told me (after asking for my name repeatedly and what band's list I was supposed to be on) that he found my name on the list but my tickets are still backstage and they're being brought up so I'd have to wait. (this seems to be the case with my guest list experiences) So I waited and like 15-20 mins after that I FINALLY got my tickets to discover that they were for the right party box. Party box? WTF is that? I called Fabi and we decided that it involves cocaine and booze because that's where the party's at. And ONLY if I can snort cocaine off whore's bodies.

So I went and stood in what I thought was a small line. EH WRONG! It was longer than I thought but luckily doors opened at 6pm on the dot and I got through pretty quickly but had to take my effing camera back to my car because they were only allowing disposables. Fucknuts. So then I got in twice as fast when Will and his friends yelled out my name and I decided to cut in line with them. One of the girls commented on how pretty my eyeshadow was and the other liked my skirt. I felt pretty ;) I didn't even know he was going. I got inside and got a spot on the side of the stage and FOB started. I was next to these girls that thought Pete was teh sex and had to scream along all the words and freak out when he vibrated and came over to our side of the stage (I got eyesex during Patron Saint and he came over and smiled at me and sang with me. Good times, good times.) These two girls in the front were going fucking nuts because he kept paying attention to them because they were rocking out. Blah blah. Of course during "Saturday" they started freaking out OMFG HE'S IN THE CROWD! Blah blah. After they finished I went over and lent Pete my Sharpie to sign people's shirts with because red ink washes out and I'm assuming these kids intend to wear their shirts someday. I became picture girl and offered to take pictures for kids that had no one to take pictures for them because I'm such a nice girl :) Haha I went and gave Chris the cookies I made him and he's seriously the nicest fucking guy you will ever meet. Ignore his internet persona. He gave me a big smile and shook my hand and wanted to know my name since I was awesome enough to make him cookies. I went back over to the booth after having a lovely conversation with Chris and Pete's like "Hey Ashley, do you know when we're playing the Creepy Crawl?" and I replied with July 8. Woo That made me feel special. haha I met this chick from the message board and STLpunk and hung out with her while they loaded in and shit. I was waiting around to hang out with Pete and I didn't find him anywhere and I saw Patrick and he waved at me and I went over and said hi and he told me Pete went to watch TBS. GRRARGH.

I saw JoJo entering through the gates and went up and had an awkard meeting with him. We hugged and I was like "I haven't seen you in a long time. I thought you hated me" and he was like "I thought YOU hated ME" and I just shrugged and said "meh" and he was like "that's what I thought" we said goodbye and parted. Then I went and watched some of Taking Back Sunday's set from my awesome party box seat. haha I left during "Cute Without the E" and admired the incredibly long line of kids waiting to meet TBS at the Atticus booth. As I was walking back to the side stage I saw Adam from Loser's Luck and got lots of hugs and caught up with him and I got his number and he told me to call him. That felt nice ;) I ran into Jessi about the same time and we went and got some food while Cypress Hill played. Then we were walking towards the side stage and I ran into my buddy from STLPunk and got a massive hug from him and he was all hyper and it was cute. haha :D I love these types of shows. Then we finally found Peter and hung around the van area until Blink came on which is when everyone went to go watch Blink so we split up and Jessi went to the lawn area and I went to my party box area and Pete, Chris and friends went to the stage. Blink was awesome. Travis' drum solo was by far the best part of the show. He comes up on this hydralic drums in the middle of the crowd and goes into this fucking 10 min drum solo. It was awesome. I saw security shut all the gates down and come running down with a wheel chair and then after Travis was done I realized they were wheeling him to and from the stage because of his broken foot. I saw him getting wheeled out and man they were fucking huffing it. I had to sit through a lot of new shit that I didn't know the words to. I left during "Dammit" to beat the crowd and ran into Jessi again and then we went over and waited for Pete to come out of the van from doing shady business. I left at 12:30am.

Here's the other stuff I forgot to add.
- Pete shooting "boob cam" in the back of the van. I saw Chris and Pete in the van and once I realized it wasn't Chris' shirtless body sprawled across Pete I got this pit in my stomach. If Pete was a slut I would lose all respect for him. Once I saw the chick get up and she started pulling on her shirt I got all worried and wanted to vomit. What made it worse was that her friend was standing outside the van the whole time. I saw the girl get up and get out and then Pete got out and took a picture. The only positive thing was when Chris came out and heard me talking to Fabi about it and was like "what's up?" and I told him that Pete was having sex in the back of the van or some shit and he was like "what? No, he's probably just shooting some stuff for boob cam. She just flashed her boobs and that's all. no big deal." and I was like "Because here I am thinking Pete's this big slut and all" and Chris is like "no no, Pete's anything but. He'd like to think he is but he's not." and then Chris was telling me how some girls will flash their tits if they even THINK they're going to be on a DVD. When he saw how upset/worried I was he was like "here, I'll go talk to him. be right back." <3
+ Pete was showing this girl his tattoo and pulled down his pants too far and I called him on seeing pubes. "you did not!" "Yes i did!" and this other girl agreed with me.
AsHLUVSDuST: haha he pulled his pants down too far the first time
AsHLUVSDuST: and it was liek PUBES

AsHLUVSDuST: I think it's a forest down there :-X

AsHLUVSDuST: *walks away*
naughtyNDgirl: hear what?
naughtyNDgirl: i went deaf/blind for like 1 min
naughtyNDgirl: haha thats gotta be embarassing
AsHLUVSDuST: I was like "I SAW PUBES!"
AsHLUVSDuST: "No you didn't!"
naughtyNDgirl: lol
AsHLUVSDuST: "YES I DID! you pulled your pants down too far"
AsHLUVSDuST: and the other girl agreed with me
naughtyNDgirl: hahaha
AsHLUVSDuST: it's like he's got no arm hair and shaves his chest but downstairs it's swarming
naughtyNDgirl: prolly cuz it itches when it grows back
naughtyNDgirl: haha boys cant handle pain well
AsHLUVSDuST: and you get ingrown hairs and it's not pretty
naughtyNDgirl: nope
naughtyNDgirl: and i doubt he is getting much play ha

-Embarrassing Joe. He talked to me tonight for the first time since the Springfield show and I asked him if he was sick cuz he sounded more nasaly than normal and he was like "no..why?" and there was this awkward pause where I felt horrible and then one of his friends was like "you do sound weirder than normal Joe."
+ Just Joe in fucking general. He had on this LLR Recording hoodie with the hood up and these weird glasses. He was MIA most of the night.
+ Watching Pete crawl on top of Chris' back and then have Patrick climb on top of Chris' back and both Pete and Chris exclaiming in pain. Haha They got one of their friends on there and he actually stayed there for like a second. haha
+ I got to touch Pete's new tat. It's smooth. OMFG! haha <3 He's got a smooth tummy. I didn't have enough time to admire it though.
+ Not being one of the kids to miss their performance.
- Pete breaking his fucking promise.
+ Reissuing the promise by promising to have lunch on his birthday. Complete with another pinky swear and thumb kiss. *I taught the boy well*
+ Taking care of me like a big brother. They were offered some refreshments that were in a cooler by the stage by some security people and I didn't take anything and Pete was like "you don't want anything?" and I told him I was hungry and so he offered me this orange and was like "here's an orange. If you eat it you won't be as hungry." Too bad I don't like oranges :x
+ Chris being the fucking Fonz. He takes cell phone calls in the fucking Port-A-Potty. How awesome is he?
+ Fabi got passed around like a blunt. haha First Pete talked to her, than Andy than Joe than one of their friends than Chris wanted to talk to her and took her in the port-a-potty where Pete proceeded to shake it and piss Chris off. haha I was glad he didn't drop my cell phone in the hole or anything
+ Getting my Sharpie back from Pete after I let him run off with it. haha
+ Getting to talk to Chris alot and realize what a great guy he is. Kate's uber lucky but I think she already knows that ;)
+ Cracking LJ jokes. We were all talking and Chris was like "now she's gonna go home and *makes typing motion* haha you were right!
+ I told Pete that Adam said that only he's allowed back to his apartment and only if he plays Adam's guitar and sings me a song and their friend's like "too bad this kid can't play guitar OR sing." Pete then joked about smashing the guitar. <3
+ Calling Fabi 5 billion times.
+ Coming home to loads of IMs.
+ This post not even listing all the great moments of night.
- Nor does it mention the low points.
+ Pete breaking a promise and then calling me to make sure I got home alright. I told him I was at the gas station and that I'd call him back in 10 mins when I got home. Apparently he thought I lived farther away from UMB than I actually do.
- The fucker not answering his phone.
+ Getting eyed in the parking lot at school.
- Thinking I was going to get raped by this dude who happened to be going the EXACT same way that I was.

I totally need to get some sleep now kiddies. I expect loads of comments come 2pm tomorrow when I awake from my slumber.

Oh yea, I got hugs from Chris and you didn't :P The sad thing is that I spent more time talking to Chris than I did Pete because Chris was around more often.

Ashley bragged about her experience at 2:37 AM.
