Oh...so when I said "tonight" you thought I meant last night?
Alright so I guess there's no real way out of this one. I'm just a douche. And I "bibled" and everything. Sorrrro:( I have to revise this research essay, because my now former teacher wants me to hand it in for an essay contest! Exciting right? Yeah, I'm trying to make you have at least some sympathy for me...Is it working? Great!
So back to the delightful Friday night I had.
After the concert was over Ashley and I decided to try and get autographs/pictures with the fellas. I thought "yeah right! they'll never be outside and if they are it will be next to impossible to actually be even near them!" So I forgot to tell you that when we got to the Starlite Room that their HUGE tour bus was parked out front...Back to present time...Ashley and I went outside, through the alley, and found the rest of the concert goers waiting for the same thing as us. And it didn't take long (literally like 2 minutes) until I heard Ashley say "Do you want to get a picture now?" And I thought she meant just a memento of the two of us...and I turn around and the lead singer was standing right by the bus talking to a few people! I couldn't believe that he was already out, because last time I went to Hellogoodbye it took almost an hour standing outside in the freezing cold to get one autograph...
We walked up to him and asked for a picture and sigh...he stood with his arms around us and we got the money shot. It's actually my picture on the popular social networking site, "Bookface", right now. LOL
And of course I had to get his autograph, on the only piece of paper I had, my ticket. And to make things better he wasn't pretencious, like when we met the guys from Boys Like Girls. He was so soft-spoken and ...oh that Aussie accent. Heart.
And then came the other half of the lead-singing duo, who is also the main trumpet player. AND we got a picture with him too, as well as the back-up trumpet player. Who by the way is a fox. :D:D
I totally feel like I should've gotten the other guys to sign something as well but I couldn't find anything short of my skin...and the temps were in the minuses that night (Can you believe that was our first real aka not melted yet, snow of the season? I have a feeling they brought it with them lol)
But Ashley and I hung around for 30-45 minutes after those amazzzing few moments, wondering if they could see us through their bus windows and making faces if they could. LOL. While we were sitting and people watching at about 2.30 in the morning, we noticed something...Ashley wanted a picture with the trombone player and was ready to ask him, but for the whole time we sat there he seemed "deeply engrosed" in a conversation with an "interesting" young lady. We were trying to judge whether she knew him or was just random. We decided that if he did in fact know him that they would talk inside the bus rather than standing outside...Plus I seem to remember her from inside. So eventually she follows him into the bus (where the other members are already remember) and doesn't close the door....This againn leads me to think that if she was with them that she would know enough of the routine to close the door behind her...So to sum it up...groupie. See you could've just read that instead of the long version, but by now you probably realized that....muahaha.
In the end I didn't get home till about 4 since Ashley and I went to her house for tea and grilled cheese. Best night ever in forreveerrr. Second best concert I've ever been to. It would be hard to ever top OkGo/SnowPatrol. Sorry CE. I still love you. Especially...you...know what i sayin? No? It's ok. I rarely ever do either.
