Last post for the night, I swear.
I throughly enjoy cold sheets and hotel rooms. I wish I could travel from hotel room to hotel room every night.
Pictured: My puppy and me.
awww
So a bunch of my mormon/religious friends are going to the mall with me tomorrow.
Another girl and I were saying how we want to go to Hot Topic and they’re like Uh yeah, we’ll be at Downeast Basics while you go in there.
In my head I was just like “Yeah or you could stop being judgemental or scared or whatever and go in with us to Hot Topic or at least stand outside and we’ll go with you to your little modesty store”.
Ugh
because hot topic is the devil’s playground amirite.
omg i’m so unhelpful :x
Lol
No you’re totally making me laugh so therefore you are being extremely helpful

i feel this is a good point to start when it comes to shit. i think this should pretty much explain why i wanna document down everything that happened over the course of the four times i saw them. this was the first time, and check out my tl;dr about gabe that actually isn’t complete - looking at it, more shit happened than i put down. i camped outside the venue with one of my best friends and met three more wonderful girls whilst i was at it.
i bolded the bits about meeting cobra, for the sake of being nice for those who can’t handle tl;dr. this is an old, old post, btw.
23RD-24TH/CAMPING.We got the 5.10 train and took a photo or two posing in front of the SCUNTHORPE sign before we got on the train to Doncaster, changing there to get the train to Leeds. We dawdled aroudn a bit before going straight to the uni, finding two buses were already there - one we never found out who it belonged to, the second turned out to belong to Hollywood Undead (didn’t meet them, didn’t really care to XD).There was a strange rave party in the venue of the university, so we wasted our time watching sluts (and guys, actually) dressed head to foot in neon skirts/thongs and little else going in. We - being five people, which is me, Rosie, Rachel, Jayde, and Sophie - set up camp in a corner of the grassy area, in a two man tent. We managed to squish in together but it was still pretty dreadful.
Around 10pm, mom texted me telling Gabe tweeted asking for a needle and thread - I checked twitter, then me, Jayde and Sophie wandered around late night Leeds trying to find a place that was open. We gave up the search after about an hour and got back around 11pm.We stayed awake til about 1am so we could all wish Rosie a happy, happy birthday - she was turning 16 - and then we all got to sleep.(Before we went to sleep, Jayde claimed she saw Sean Smith of the Blackout - we called bullshit since there are a lot of lookalikes and went to sleep. Next morning we discovered The Blackout’s bus had been there all night at the back of the venue and it was Sean.)24TH/OUTSIDEWe woke up around 5am to a couple of drunk student douchebags shaking the tent. You know that party? People were only just leaving when it turned 5am, lawl wut.I snoozed again until about half six and we wandered around and set up our place in the queue line (first in, oh yeah ;D) and two buses arrived around sevenish. The first was Anti-Flag’s, which was a pure lucky guess on our behalf. The second was Cobra’s - which we recognised because Rosie’s friend had been to the Nottingham gig and told us what it looked like. A white bus, with FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY on the side and MOVING TO THE MUSIC on the back.I lurked on the bus all day until around 11am when Rosie and Jayde went to town for Starbucks and to grab a sewing kit if they could find one, and that was when Alex Suarez came out. He asked me where to get food and I directed him towards the city center before calling Rosie and flailing a lot and she got sad that she missed him.Alex wasn’t gone very long. He came back after about ten minutes and then went back on the bus before going to the Cafeteria later. Rosie still wasn’t back, so she didn’t get her picture with him.They finally came back, with a sewing kit! We sat around for about three hours, migrating to the grass before Gabe appeared out of the bus - we were thrown at first and did a double take before saying hi. He was all sleepy and still wearing his sleep clothes (or as he called them, his jimjam pants) and we told him we had a sewing kit. He goes “Really? Fuck, gimme a minute” and runs back into the bus. We were like, okay :/ and then he comes back out with the shirt and asked who could sew, and I offered to sew the buttons back on for him ^^ We all ended up sat in a circle in the grass with a very sleepy Saporta, chatting away.
(Nate came out of the bus not long after, so we jumped up and gave him one of the Madagascar plushies we’d bought for the whole band - we gave him the penguin. He was super-happy, bless. He loves penguins it turns out. Lucky guess ^^)We were trying to get the white thread off the spool but none of us could do it, then Gabe took it and by his powers of magic (aka we have no idea) he managed to unwravel the thread and handed it to me. I sewed back on two buttons. He was lovely and chuffed and told me to give him a low five - so I did, and he sort of held my hand a little whilst he thanked me. He has lovely warm hands, for the record.He was talking about the weather he was like “It’s never sunny when we come to England, this is the first time. It’s always raining.”He was overly confused by the entire Slam Dunk set up - he had no idea who You Me At Six (the headliners) were, and was baffled by when his DJ set was supposed to be, and had no idea what the hell was going on with the Glamour Kills/UK Relentless Now stages being in the same room. We explained it the best we could.
Guilty Pleasure started plaiyng at one point from inside the building when they were supposed to be soundchecking so Gabe looked up and was like “Wha - ? But I’m not in there!” He is the most adorable sleepy person, I tell you. We gave him the other Madagascar teddies and told him the lion was his, and he said he’d give them out but spotted the hippo (supposed to be Vicky’s) and does the most adorable whining. He’s so cute. He goes, “Why does Vicky get the hippo?” And said he was going to steal it, and I laughed and he was all serious like “You can’t tell her” and I told him I wouldn’t but he goes “Pinky promise” so I had to pinky promise with Gabe not to tell Vicky that Gabe stole her hippo.
(We sort of bonded a tiny bit. I smashed the corner of my iPhone and he also has a cracked iPhone, so we mourned that.)
We talked a little about music, we asked if he liked Lady Gaga and he said he likes “Just Dance” and some of her stuff but he hates“Pokerface”. However, he loves the Poke Her Face remix and he was talking some random rubbish about getting his swagger on, which turned out to be actual music.He got up and was like “Alright, I gotta go get dressed and stuff” and goes back to the bus but before he climbs on he goes “Is my butt wet?” from where we’d been sitting in the grass. I told him no, then turned around and muttered (thinking he was gone) to Rosie, “God, Gabe, don’t give us an excuse to look.”Rosie then told me he heard and then he smirked at me, smug bastard. <3Anyway, we thought that was the last we saw of him, so I started flailing but NO! He comes back out, armed with his MacBook and says he’s going to show us something ^^ For another about, 10-15 minutes, he played us Poke Her Face and Turn My Swag On. He played us Soulja Boy’s turn my swag on, then goes, “And this is proof that even if you can’t sing, you can still play and make good music” and played the Keri Hilson remix <3. He asked if it was okay to play trashy hip hop during his DJ set, because he hates hearing punk during DJ sets. “I go to shows for that, when I’m at parties I wanna shake my booty.” He sat dancing and singing to all the music he played. Hi, so adorable.He sat thumbing through an old Kerrang and came across a photo of You Me At Six hugging in a circle pre-show and he goes “Are they praying?”. When he came across an Royal Airforce advert he goes “Who are they? Are these any good? The Royal Airforce band?”. I love him. I do.(Gabe asked what Rosie had on her knuckles - she had RYLAND!<3 and he was like “*gasp* I know him!”)Then he gets up and is like “Alright, I gotta go get my swagga on” and waggles his eyebrows and does his cheesy grin and bounces back into the bus. We decided this was amazing enough and went to go get in the queue because by now we’d been with Gabe about an hour and the doors were opening soon. We found our place again, queued and saw Gabe come through a few minutes later in plaid, beanie and blue glasses. I lawled and was like “SNEAKY” and he grinned and waved at us before vanishing indoors.24TH/INSIDEWe got in and they didn’t even search our bags O.O; but this was okay because we got to the barrier straight away. The stages were cleverly set out - one at each end of the room. Relentless UK Now stage was set up first, and they played first whilst Glamour Kills was being set up. So, whilst one band played on Relentless Now, the band for the glamour kills stage was setting up - does that make sense? XD It was goodtimes, anyway. Cash Cash were up first and I think I’m the tiniest bit in love with them. They were brilliant. Hey Monday came up second, and I admit - I enjoyed them. She sang the first song in the wrong key though, but she admitted it. Then came The Audition. Ohmygod, they were crazy. Well, Danny was - he climbed onto the balcony during their final song and jumped down! He knocked some poor girl out! It was mad, really, bloody mad. He was lost for like, ten minutes before they finally dragged him out. Then We The Kings, who I love and can’t wait to see on the 30th. Then Kids In Glass Houses, who were actually decent? Last time they were awful (saw them with Fall Out Boy earlier in the year). The singer looked like a hobo compared to last time but at least he could sing. During the bands: Cash Cash’s singer was very interactive, smiling and waving. Cassadee stole HWilliam’s moves a lot lawl. Danny was also kind of interactive.. suicidal, but interactive. Travis was nice but not that interactive towards the crowds. I got a face full of the slightly tubby stomach of the Kids In Glass Houses frontman, nearly twice but he got held back once. Also, we kept seeing Suarez and he was waving at us and such such. Then Cobra! OH, COBRA. [unfinished]
omg this is probably the cutest thing I have ever read!
I’ve never been to a rave and I really don’t think I want to.
It’s so cool you were able to meet your three friends and like still talk to them.
Suavez and Nate and Gabe! Ohmy they are so adorable! Especially Gabe that smug basterd.
I hope I get to meet them one day and have as cute a story as you!
This was a good one. Not as good as ours though.
I love them seriously! So many jokes from this.
This is so utterly ridiculous!
it’s 7am, so have an Adam. I’m gonna go fetch a shower and I’ll be back in a few.
p.s. thinking of taking a few hours to write up my cobra stories. maybe it seems sad to you that I might do this, but it’s been six months and a day since I saw them for the third time, and six months since I got my first cobra tattoo, and tomorrow will be six months since the fourth time. it’s pretty lame that I’m considering this, but I have so many wonderful experiences that I’d just love to write down. I doubt I’d post it on tumblr, it’d probably be a tl;dr on my Livejournal.
It’s not sad or lame, it’s important to you!
And you should post them! I don’t care if they’re td;lr. I’ll read them the second I see them and reblog and say something!
Thanks for the follow!
Can I ask how you found my page and why you decided to follow?
