Honestly, that lyric could not be more suitable for this weekend really.
So yeah, highlights:
- Getting picked up and starting to drive to Brum
- Still having crumbs of that Granola bar in my pocket
- Bee having chunks of it in her wallet
- Spending more time driving around Birmingham finding the hotel than we did actually driving to Birmingham
- Finally finding the hotel, with the Academy literally 2 minutes away
- Going to the venue and meeting some of the Hustlers for the first time, and meeting Luc
- Going into the shopping centre, which was busier than London!
- Going into the Disney Store and buying an American football that was an Alien from Toy Story
- Joking that we should get a game of football going in the M&G
- Going back to the venue after buying an arm full of Subways
- Going back to the shopping centre a while later with the Hustlers and Luc
- Pretty much being told to piss off by security when we sat in a corner to draw on the flag. Apparently we were in peoples way
- Maia being told off for going into the kids thing in the Entertainer, even though she wasn't to tall!
- Going back to the venue and drawing on the flag
- Bee finding out her mum had been talking to ATL in Selfridges
- Getting our passes
- Deciding to take everyone back to the hotel for a bit, just to stay warm
- Running back to the venue when Allie got a text to tell her the Hustlers had gone in
- Hustlers were still queueing
- Random photos, including Mickey wearing the 'Charm My Snake' thong
- Agreeing that Flyzik also likes ATB more than ATL
- Flyzik finally coming outside to get us
- Stopping us in the hall and giving us the rules for the M&Gs, which me and Bee found hilarious as we hadn't been given them before
- Going in and seeing them in the corner
- "We met your mum today!" - Colussy
- All of ATL remembering us
- Taking the football out of my bag, and Jack signing it for pretty much no reason
- Finally getting Zack to sign my GK poster, that i've needed signed by him since October!
- Rian stealing my football and throwing it across the venue to Colussy. Vinny and Zack then got involved.
- Giving Matt his second Mickey. "Is this the other one? It's going on the production table, just so you know where it is."
- Trying (and failing) to get my football back as the doors opened and the band disappeared
- Running to barrier
- Some girls behind me seeing my photo with Jack and actually saying "OMG is that Alex?!" ¬_¬
- Young Guns <3
- Me, Bee and Luc being the only three people on the barrier singing along to Young Guns
- Deciding to leave after YG
- Betting security £10 that he wouldn't be able to lift me out. I owe him £10
- Spending £25 on merch. Tee and poster XD
- Having to watch everyone elses set from the side =[
- TBO encouraging people to throw glowsticks
- The Charm My Snake thong being thrown up during ATLs set. Jack was so close to putting it on his head.
- Finding out that Rachel was the only person that lasted on the barrier after the gig
- Luc lost his bag =[
- Talking to Snoz again. He recognises me and Bee, it's kinda weird
- Talking to MP for the first time in ages! Laurence was shocked to see me in Birmingham
- Finding a Mickey Mouse on the floor, which belonged to Allie
- Bee texting me to tell me that Flyzik actually twitpic-ed the Mickey we gave him!
- The whole night pretty much going to shit
So yeah, before the gig it was amazing. During/after the gig...Yeah, not something i want to re-live any time soon.
