So, before i post all the highlights, i just want to say this.
To everyone that i have been with this weekend, no matter how brief, i love you so much. It's an overused statement, but the past 2 days have literally been the best of my life.
Not only have i been able to see one of my favourite bands live 3 times in 2 days, i have met them 4 times and got to meet what are some of my new 'family' because of them.
So yeah, highlights:
- Getting to Camden about 1ish. Was lovely not having to queue.
- Seeing Jo and Becky
- Seeing Sarah and Georgina
- Heading into Camden about half an hour later than we said because we started talking to Sami
- Heading up to the Roundhouse and seeing a very lost Colussy pass us with two suitcases
- Getting back to the Roundhouse then almost being run over by Sean Smith. Wouldn't usually be a highlight, but he was on a Segway, so...
- Watching Sean literally get chased
- "Is that Jeff?...No, wait, it's a hobo"
- Jammie Dodger!
- Seeing Bob and Gav on the Segways
- Giving Gav the Darth Vader head i got him
- "That's badass. It's gonna be the new ornament on my Segway."
- Going back to the hotel for a bit
- Finding out My Passion had shredded their tire, so were gonna be late/not playing
- Freaking out over the internet because of THC
- Running downstairs to find Allie and Rachel and instead of saying hi, just screaming "WE NEED INTERNET NOW!"
- All of us stood outside the Roundhouse, freaking out.
- Meeting Jess and Roisin
- Being let inside and watching Colussy come down and count us all. I swear he done it about 3 times.
- Katie P coming down and wanting us to record something for Radio 1.
- Trying to get me to record something, but i refused
- Jess saying something in German
- "Is it rude?" "Kind of" "I'll pretend i didn't know"
- Happy when we saw Flyzik, but then just telling us we'd be another 10 minutes ¬_¬
- The speech!
- Being led to the main room of the venue.
- Once my football had been stolen and the band were busy, deciding to talk to Vinny
- Giving him one of the other Darth Vader heads. He kinda freaked out.
- Waiting to get photos, but he wouldn't stop playing with the thing.
- Proper game of football being started by Rian, Zack, Vinny, Colussy, Flyzik and even Sean Smith
- "It's Vinnys first football!"
- Alex running away when Bee mentioned she was sick
- Asking Flyzik the reason for us freaking out earlier. He then showed us a list of our names and emails on a list for EE to the instore...On his Blackberry. It was weird!
- Giving him the Mickey Allie wanted to give him in Brum and apologising for the state it was in, but being told it didn't matter cause it was going on tour and would get wrecked anyway.
- Watching Jess teach Jack (And Colussy, who was lurking) German
- Telling Colussy we wanted a photo with him, cause we hate ATL
- Watching Jet Black ¬_¬
- The guy in front of us looking like Zack...But uglier
- Gus singing to us for most their set.
- Bee's arm being about one inch to short
- Watching Hustlers get pulled out =[
- Laurence's jeggings!
- Agreeing with Bee and Jess that if a member of a band decides to stand on the barrier in front of us, they either got punched in the dick or their trousers pulled down.
- Surviving the Blackout!
- Bob being happy
- (Not sure why Bee wrote this) Woop woop, that's the sound of da police
- Josh Franceschi coming out to sing TIWWCHNT
- Fireworks and dry ice!
- Don't trust me being played between bands (Or 'Don't trust Grieco')
- Jess and Bee drumming along to the ATL intro
- Worrying about Jacks attention. The elbows weren't nice.
- Cumming jokes
- Bee getting told to fuck herself for laughing at Jack
- Luc being pulled onstage then being handcuffed to Alex for the beginning of Weightless
- Getting Jacks picks again
- Going back to the hotel briefly then going back outside to wait for the band
- Meeting Jack again
- Telling him i hate him for throwing a pick at me and getting molested by fangirls for it
- "There's no camera, we're just hugging" "I better hug you tighter then"
- Zack telling us he showered
- Getting better photos with Zack. We later realised that Bee got photobombed my Colussy!
- Running into Louise and chatting for a bit
- Seeing the MP lot briefly and getting quick hugs off Andy
Right, so that's it for the first one.
The Instore blog is next, which will probably be shorter cause it was a shorter gig really.
