Urbana Friday

+ Got there early
+ Listened to most of the new FOB cd via the Island van (like I wish I was that cool haha).
+ Sidekicked
+++ Lovely weather
++++ Awesome parking space
- Bashing my knuckles up from knocking on the bus (now using Dan's suggestion of using my fist instead)
- Having to wait for Pete to get done with an interview
+ Gave him the Panic shirt I made in which he wore it on stage (proof)
+ Got up front
+ Got the Clan DVD
- Lack of merch in my sizes
+ Gym Class and actually getting to hear Patrick over the loop for once and hearing him improvising
- TWBE and Happy Hands Club
+ Midtown and getting smiled at by Heath for singing along and rocking out. haha
- The barricade breaking 2 songs into FOB but they said that it wouldn't affect their set and that they'd still play the same amount of songs (they did)
+ Dance Dance
- Annoying drunk girls who provided us with the intro to GTA over and over and over again during the "intermission" haha. Underage drunk college girls are awesome. NOT
+ This was the first time I've sweated at a FOB show in I don't know how long. haha That's saying a lot.

Afterwards the walk back to the bar to get free water was brutal. Nasty sweaty college boys. BALRRHHH

haha Watched a slut get yelled at by a security guard because yelling once had no effect on her. Same security guard pushed a girl into me and it fucking hurt. Jerk off.

I went to the merch to get Kyle a GCH hoodie but all they had were really big sizes so I was like "Well I don't want anything then" and then I turned around to talk to Jenn and I feel someone tugging at my arm so I turn around and it's the Butcher and he pulls me towards the table and I thought he wanted me to sign up for the FBR newsletter on the HipE computers but turns out the GCH merch guy found a display hoodie in a YL and sold that to me. I was happy :D

We went outside after that and went to the infamous La Bamba where they have burritos as big as your head (no lie). I felt like I was back in AZ with the mexicans and everything was authentic. They called me senorita ;) I tried a Jarritos which was really good and got the most expensive quesadilla ever but it hit the spot. After that we walked through the U of I campus and I got a pretty good shot of it. It's so huge. Weird kids out and about. Walked back to the bus and saw that it had it's lights on and we thought it was getting ready to leave. We walked around the bus and saw Pete giving everyone hugs so I made sure we got to say our goodbyes and all.

Left and drove to Cassandra's and didn't get there until 2am. Unfortunately her parents beat me home so I had to endure that wrath. I think they said something smartass to me but I was too tired to care. Talked to the boy and then passed out while Cassandra watched my RTB DVD downstairs.

PS YOU'RE the one that snores. HAH

Pictures

NEG show Saturday

- Got woken up at 8am by the stupid phone, settled for 10
+ Cereal chow down time
+ Left at noon
- Ass raping tolls
Soundtrack consisted of Radio Disney (Jesse McCartney, Men in Black sing alongs), fingers crossed for Sugar on Q101
+ Get to Kyle's around 2:30 and make a stop at Taco Bell
+ Back on the freeway and into Chicago an entire car singalong to Kelly Clarkson was had. Dancing to The Police (Kyle makes my car complete)
- Chicago traffic
+ Getting to the Metro on time despite traffic
+ parking across the street for 10 bucks
- Having to walk BACK to the car to get the DVDs
- Apparently Roy stepped on Kyle's foot and gave him a dirty look and Kyle was afraid it'd be "on" haha
I'm still mixed about the first band. The fact that they didn't have a lead singer was weird. They were melodic but I don't know

NEG came out and it was so weird to see Asian Ben screaming. haha I can't take them seriously. I still see him as the dude that works at Paul Frank who Kaitlyn used to crush hardcore on. It's odd to see/hear that voice coming out of his body. Cassandra thinks he was drunk. Chris came out during a song and he was looking dashing and I tried to get a picture but the way their lights were and the camera is was just a bad mix. :(
Pics
Left early because Cassandra thought her mom was calling to bitch at her and tell her she was grounded because of her report card. Turns out that wasn't it at all. I didn't really care either way.

Drove home and stopped at some random pizza place in Chicago wear the pizza looked like skin but was sooo good. I used the word "pop" to order the slice of cheese and pop deal because I was afraid saying soda might confuse the guy.

Dropped Cassandra off and Kyle drove home. He got a tummy ache and I felt really bad :(

Got to Tyler's and he wasn't there so we crashed anyways. Got intimidated by the dog but he/she didn't bite.

A Thousand Miles

Wonder Showzen is the grossest show ever. I felt like scrubbing my eyes clean.

Met Tyler.

Bedtime. Waking up next to the one that you love <3 someone's knee. Possibly the best thing I've ever found. It's either from someone or a dog. It's still kinda creepy. haha The water was freezing cold. Kissing on the beach = best thing ever. Awesome sea shell found

Went to Target and drooled over the cheap food.

Goodbyes sucked.

Fell asleep in Milwaukee while driving. Drank some AMP and was fine till I got home.

Some things I realized while driving
- old school Rufio still makes me happy and remember how it used to be
- I miss 9pm phone calls from random states and highways giving me updates on who's doing what and just saying hi. I don't know if I'll ever run into that kid again.

I really need sleep. Tomorrow is devoted to homework. I have to study for two tests and get Physics shit done and Spanish.

PS new Sharpie colors!

Ashley bragged about her experience at 10:12 PM.
