"Acting stupid, getting drunk with my best friends
I couldn't wait for the summer and the Warped Tour" - Blink 182
Oh my goodness...what a weekend this has been...
Thursday night, Tracy came down. We chilled, wandered around, went bra shopping at 1am, went to JPD, and stayed up until 4 just talking. On Friday we had a liesurly afternoon in Granville, and then the boys showed up. We went to the homestead, came back, and just hung out.
Saturday was the Warped Tour. and let me just say... amazing. Simply, amazing. I got to see Tsunami Bomb, The Dropkick Murphies, The Xplosion, The Offspring, MxPx, Hawthorne Heights, My Chemical Romance, Emery, No use for a name, and part of Fall Out Boy. I took a spill in the pit at Tsunami Bomb, and now my knee is all bloody and scraped. Rob also has a scraped knee from crowd surfing. The day was so killer. The pit at Emery was great. But I'd have to say the highlight of my day was MxPx. I mannaged to get up to the very front, which is not easy at all at the main stage. I was in the pit for a little bit, but it got pretty rough, so I got out. I was right up there, literally 3 squished rows of people from the stage. We were all squished in so tight, jumping up and down. It was crazy. There was this guy next to me (who was quite the hott) and we basically were grinding the whole set. He had a boner with a capital O! it was awsome!! The show was just a complete adriniline rush. Afterwards, I could barely walk, or hear, or talk. I just stumbled out, completly dazed and delighted. It was seriously an event of a lifetime.
Another cool thing that happened was I met a very cute drummer for the band All Left Out. They're a band from New Zeland. They're pretty small, and basically they're just following the tour trying to get picked up. I talked to him for a while, and ended up buying his album. He had a CD for me to listen to, and it sounded good, but I basically just bought it because he was cute and had a pretty accent. But when we got in the car, we put in the CD, and it was actually really good.
I have also decided that I have great respect for My Chemical Romance. I've always sorta liked their music, but after seeing them live, there was something the lead singer said that made me respect him greatly. He said he wanted to speak to the ladies in the audiance. He said that we should always go to rock concerts for the rest of our lives, but not to get sucked in by bullshit bands that degrade you and make you show your tits to get a backstage pass. He said "If they do that, I want you to throw everything in your pockets at them and spit right in their face!" I like that. It's not something you hear a lot of rock bands saying.
That night, we were all sun burnt to a crisp. I came home bloody, broken, burnt, exausted, my ears ringing, my throat soar, my body aching...and I wouldn't have traded it for the world. It was amazing.
Sunday we slept a lot. J-Flo came back, and we chilled with her and played Taboo for a long time. Then we grilled out, and kicked back and drank. I got wonderfully smashed and had an amazing conversation with Ian and Rob for hours. We were literally talking until about 3am.
Everyone left this morning. I'm still recovering from everything. I need to clean, but that will get done at some point. I also have a lot of work to catch up on, but once again...that will get done.
This weekend was simply amazing. It was one that I will never forget. I had an amazing time, and I'm so glad I got to share it with my best friends. I know you guys read this, so I just want to tell ya I love ya and I'm glad you came down!
I don't ever want to grow old.
