If it wasn’t for the fact that it was a half day at school I don’t think I wouldn’t have been able to go to this concert. When I first got the okay to go I thought I’d be missing the 17th and spending the day in Portland but turns out I had to go. I went to school and was stoked. I ran into Kierra in the hall and started jumping and fangirling.. people started judging us-- whatever. I was totally on top of it in Geometry, a class I never pay any attention in, and actually got the assignment done before the end up class. As the end of the school day neared I became more and more hyper. When I got home I was ready within minutes. My madre was taking Kierra and I and didn’t get out of work until one. This made me extremely impatient. It got to the point where I was saying things like “MOMMY WHERE ARE YOUUUUU!!?!?!!?!” (I haven’t called my madre ‘mommy’ since I was 12)
Once madre got home we drove to pick up Kierra. When getting back into the car my pants caught on something and ripped. -.- Ugh, thankfully we were super close to my house and drove back there.
I swear the radio only played songs from 2008 or ones by Avril Lavigne. Oi! We got to the venue at around 4 and the doors didn’t open until 6. This didn’t matter to me. I’ve waited in line for six hours, in the middle of February, in 20˚ weather. There was about 30 people in front of us and that made me super happy (: Three members of Paradise Fears came up and talked to us-- they were so cute!-- and I felt bad cause I didn’t have any money to buy their album. One wanted to cut down a tree and use it as fire wood because it was “so cold”. After about an hour of waiting I had managed to befriend the people standing behind us and asked them to hold our place while Kierra and I ran to the Starbucks across the street. When we crossed the road someone honked at us and starting yelling-- it was Carly and her mom. I thought it was a stranger saying “Wait for the light!” and I was about to shout back “THE LIGHT IS GREEN FOR PEDESTRIANS! I HAVE THE RIGHT AWAY, IDIOT!” then I saw Carly in the passenger seat and decided against it. Don’t want to give a bad first impression, right? When we came back from Starbucks there was these two preacher guys shouting at everyone who walked by. Finally, two guys got fed up with the preachers, went across the street, and made out in front of them. I didn't see any of it, all I heard was everyone clapping and cheering and the preachers yelling "HOMOSEXUALITY IS A SIN!!" over and over again.
At six o’clock the line starting moving and they let people in. It was honestly the easiest venues to get into. They didn’t to a body check or anything. Just scanned your ticket and let you in-- if it was valid. We got in and ran to the floor. We got an amazing spot to the left of the stage about 10 feet from the barrier. We had to wait another hour before the show but that was nothing. They had music playing and a lot of people were singing along to it. Paradise Fears had there stuff set up already and OH MY GOSH THEIR DRUMSET CHANGED COLORS!! I want that set so badly. I don’t play drums or anything, though. They’d just sit in my room and change colors. I wouldn’t even learn to play because I’d be too scared to break them.
