So the day started off the worst.. Up until the actual show I thought it was the day from hell.
It all started when I woke up..I was super tired. But I drug my butt out of bed and got ready. I left for Amanda's at about 6:45am and when I got there she wasn't ready... As always. (and yes it IS true Amanda.) So she finally got her butt in gear and we left and we first dropped her mom off then went to wal-mart so I could buy some ear plugs. (I'm trying to save my ears so I'm not deaf by the time I'm 30 lol) Then after that we went and got Starbucks then set off to head to Phoenix.. This is where it started going bad... The first place we went to to head to Phx was off of 16th.. And it was closed.. So then I was going to go to 24th and take off that way and Amanda tells me there is "no way to head towards the foothills that way.." I knew there was, I've gone that way I dunno how many times... I may not know street names sometimes but I can get myself around pretty damn well.. So to please her we went to Araby.. And guess what? That damn exit was closed too.. So then we had to go clear back to 24th street to hit and exit... I want to say that its the opposite side of Araby.. But I dunno.. I forget street names.. But anyways.. All this running around put us way behind schedual and we ended up finally leaving Yuma at almost 8:30.. Which didn't suck too bad because we didn't hit traffic and still made great timing. So we get into Phoenix and found our hotel easily and we go in and all they have ready is a smoking room.. So to save ourselves from waiting forever and a day longer we just took it.. So we go in and the rooms fairly decent looking minus a few burns on the carpet... So of course we go to use our bathroom and the damn toilet runs.. So lets put it this way, everytime one of us had to pee we had to fix the stupid thing so it would stop running.. What a pain in the rear end. And to top it off the tub was dripping water.. So we told the lady about it and she said she'd send someone up to fix it and we ended up leaving to go pick up the tickets from the Marquee. We get there and pick up the tickets and decided to go back to the hotel since there was a Denny's next door and there weren't a lot of people in line yet. So we go to Denny's and meet Amanda's cousin Stef and have lunch. Then after all that we go get into line. After burning in the sun for awhile we decided it would be best if we left our chairs in the line and just sat on the floor in the shade.. Seemed like a good idea.. and it was MUCH cooler.. Just one problem.. after sitting there for about 5 hours I got up only to realize that I apparently sat in something so I had a stain on my butt.. Just wonderful.. But I didn't care too much simply because I wasn't the only one who had the stain.. A lot of people sat on the cement and it was damn dirty.. So after 5 hours there they made up get into lines and out of the shade so all the people who had just got there cut a lot of us that had been there.. Which sucked. So we're stuck in the sun and standing around some more. So since we were next to a wall I kinda leaned on it at one point and didn't realize there was gum on the wall.. So I managed to get gum on the back of my shirt to match the damn stain on my skirt. So as if this wasn't bad.enough about an hour and half before they let us inside it pours down rain.. It went from being sunny and hot to dark clouds, wind and heavy rain. Then in typical Arizona fashion it rained just long enough to get everyone in line soaked and then it stopped. So after that we got to freeze and attempt to dry off. Then FINALLY they let us in, only to wait over and hour for the first band to finally begin. So eventually the opening band came out.. They were called The Outline and they were pretty rad. I liked them. Next was the Hush Sound.. They've got a good stage presence but their music doesn't really amaze me.. I thought maybe I'd like them better since this was my second time seeing them but it didn't really do much for me.. They're just ok.. Then finally the band I'd been through hell to see came out. Panic! At the Disco! Those boys are amazing. I can't say enough about how amazing their live show is. The first time I saw them they seemed all nervous and you could just tell that they were just starting out.. Now, they seem like pro's. They did every song off their album and they blew me away. Not to mention that Brendon is pretty much the most beautiful thing I've ever seen in my life. That boy's voice is freaking amazing. I love it! The only thing that that sucked about the show was at since we were in front row there were a lot of people pushing so we got squished against the barricade.. Which you expect, but I had some dumb chick elbowing me.. Not very comfortable, but after awhile she stopped. Then we were by a group of little 14 year olds who were screaming "I LOVE YOU BRANDON!" Wha the hell you morons! If you love the guy so much don't you think you'd know his name is BRENDON not Brandon. *sigh* That was really annoying. Then the show was over and everyone started leaving then suddenly all the guys come running out and do a final bow.. It was funny.. Then they ran backstage again. So me and Amanda head out and go get our merch. I have to admit their shirts sucked but I needed one so I could cover my wonderful stain and the gum on me other shirt so I bought one and we went out to my car, got some water and I put on my new shirt. Then we headed over to the busses to see if the boys would come out. So after awhile they came out but security made us stay behind a baracade and we weren't allowed to take pics with them, just of them and we could only get one thing signed. So I decided to get them to sign my shirt since I was having trouble finding my ticket stub. So the guys get to where we were and the dumb girls infront of us wouldn't move so Amanda managed to get in and get the guys attention but I still got passed up because those girls were blocking me and too busy freaking out and hogging them.. But I was happy coz Amanda got there attention and when she handed Brendon the shirt he's all "Oh is this for me?" And shes like "nooo!" And he laughed then signed it and she's all "Smile Brendon!" And he makes this funky face and she took a pic of him and he goes "I don't smile coz I'm so emo.." It was funny. He's sarcastic. I love it. So I snuck around to the end of the line and one of the nice security guards let me go when I told him I got passed up. So I got to the line and they finally made it down to me.. Their new guy Jon passed me up again.. On accident I think but whatever.. I didn't mind. There were a lot of people talking to him at once so whatever. Then Spencer came over to me and I got him to sign my shirt and I asked for a hug and he was like "Sure." and hugged me. Then he was like "Thanks for coming guys." and left. Then it was Brendon...So he comes up to me and I'm like "Can you sign my shirt for me?" And he's all "Sure thing." And he signs it. Then I asked him for a hug and he's all "Yeah, sure." And he hugged me, and I mean really hugged me. both arms and squeezed.. It was sweet and as he was hugging me he was like "Thank you for coming!" He's such a sweetheart. So then he left too and finally Ryan came along. I asked him to sign my shirt and he did then I asked for a hug and he hugged me and before he left I was like "You guys were awesome tonight!" And he smiled and he was like "Thanks so much! Thank you for coming!" and he left too.. So I went back over to were Amanda was waiting and we took off and headed back to the hotel. When we got back there were wonderful dirty boot prints in the tub where they're worked on the toilet.. Which they failed to fix properly because it was still running after every flush. *sigh*. So after awhile we went to sleep. Then I got up and decided to take a shower.. It was nice to feel clean again except one problem.. The damn bath tub didn't drain water fast at all. So finally after about a half an hour the water finally drained out. I swear that was the worst hotel ever! Then after we both got up and ready we met Stef and went to the Fiesta Mall for awhile then headed back to Yuma. So needless to say this trip kind of sucked but seeing Panic! And meeting all the guys finally was awesome and well worth it all.
