voodoo fest - day 3 (young wild things)

October 28, 2007
so...
cute is what we aim for cancelled because shaant was sick.
poor baby haha.
plain white t's was opening and they started about 20 minutes early since ciwwaf was supposed to open, but yeah.
pwt was amazing!! like i don't even listen to them much and i was freaking out.
they were soooo good.
next, red jumpsuit was playing on the other stage, but i don't care much of them, so i stayed at the main stage and moved up as people left for rja.
i wanted a good spot for gym class heroes...which i got.
but there was this douche bag 40 year old dude standing right in front of me and i asked him if there was any way that i could possibly stand in front of him for the next band because they are one of my favorites and he was majorly taller than me, and he looked at me and goes "no." and turned back around. i was about to kill him.
but anyway, i saw whit setting guitars up, so i screamed his name and he saw me, smiled, and waved. it made me happy :)
red jumpsuit was FINALLY over and gym class came on, and travis had this strage mask on.
they were so amazing!
ERIC CUT HIS HAIR!! HE SHAVED HIS HEAD! AHH!
then during The Queen & I, whit came out and played the acoustic guitar.
he is amazing. haha.
their set seemed so short. when they were over i was really sad.
when they were breaking down, i saw eric doing something and i screamed his name really loud and he looked and saw me and waved. once again, i was really happy.
i can't remember who was playing on the yellow stage between gym class and fall out boy, but i didn't go see them. i stayed put to get in the front for fob.
once the other band (help me with this name people!) was over, fall out boy was about to come on, but stevie g from b97 came out to talk for a minute.
finally fall out boy was on!! they were soooo amazing!
like amazing isn't even the right word to describe it. there really isn't a word.
but so the show was going on as usual, then pete decides to climb this HUGE amp (well, amps piled on top of each other) and then he jumps dow.
bad move.
they finish the song and he goes 'well i think i broke my ankle.' but he said this in a very joking tone...so all was well.
then this girl goes "patrick i love you!" and i said some variation of "nuhh-uh girlfran, he's mine." and she like flipped out. she started yelling at me. then when the songs started again, she started shoving me. i didn't do anything to her!
so i got fed up and i pushed her really hard and then elbowed her in the back really really hard...i hope she has a bruise...what?? haha.
the moshingishness stuff continued....do new orleanian people not know how to mosh?...and i kept shoving her because she was being a biyyatch...hahahah.
so they were playing the last song (saturday? thnks fr the mmrs? can't remember...) and pete got in the middle of the audience as usual. this suprised most people, but not me. he did it in chicago, so i knew it was coming :)
once they were done i was really bummed.
we made our way out of the crowd to go to merch and then aj called emily and he put her on the phone with TRAVIS FROM GCH! ah! then i called ainsley and instead of her answering the phone it was some dude and i was like "um who is this?" and he goes "tom." and here's how the reast of this convo went...
me: "tom who?"
don(dude on phone): "tom conrad."
me: "really?"
don (now tom): "mhmm"
me: "how are you?"
tom: "i'm pretty good. just enjoying the festival."
me: "that's good. me too."
tom: "i just wanted to apologize for the mix up. i'm so sorry that it happened."
me: "oh, that's totally okay. i understand when you are doing things on your own that it can get really hectic....tom cuts me off."
tom: "well listen, i have to go get some drinks for friends, but i really want to meet up with you."
me: "ok, that sounds good."
tom: "bye. it was great talking to you."
me: "you too. bye."
tom: "see you later."
**click**
ahhh!! it was so amazing!!
if you don't know who tom conrad is, he used to play guitar in The Academy Is..., and now he is a professional photographer.
the mix up was that i ordered a print, "little windows," from him and he accidentally sent me "hotels" and "caged." but talking to him was pretty amazing.
then joanna and i went to get vitamin water because that was the only thing they had to drink there other than SoCo Lime and Red Bull with vodka.
once i got back to the merch booth where everyone else was, ainsley called me and goes "come to the left side of the main stage!" and i was like "why?" and she goes "tom is over here, he really wants to meet you, but he has to leave! RUN!"
so i ran the fastest i ever have in my whole life and once i got there i wasn't even winded because of all the adreneline(sp?)...haha.
so as soon as i got there, tom gives me this HUGE hug and we talk for a little while and then he tells me that he has a SoCo Lime and we talk for a little longer, then he tells me that he has to go and he gives me another HUGE hug and ainsley and i leave.
so we get back to my mom and we had to leave, so i tell ainsley bye and we walked to the car.
once we get there, aj calls us and tells us to come to the house of shock because he got us passes to go through with fall out boy!!! yayayay!!!
so we get there and we wait for about 20 minutes and we go in and wait for about 15 more minutes...my feet hurt because of my injury(haha) on saturday, but i didn't care because i was going to get to hang out with my favorite band in the whole wide world!!
fall out boy finally got there, but patrick wasn't with them because he was throwing up (yuckk). i was really sad because patrick is amazing (i'm not going to say favorite because i don't choose favs.). but needless to say, i was very upset :(
i saw andy and joe walk up and we exchanged greetings then i saw pete and HE WAS ON CRUTCHES!! and he had a brace on his ankle. he really hurt it when he jumped off the amps.
ASHLEE SIMPSON WAS WITH HIM!! ahhh!! she is one of my idols!
TOM CONRAD WAS THERE TOO!!!!!! and he said hi to me :)
it was so cool. joanna, zander, emily, and i got a picture with andy, joe, and pete, then we all got it line. on my right side in line, i was standing next to zander, and ashlee and pete were on my left side! like right next to me!!!
ashlee and i talked for a little while. she is so sweet! and pete and i talked for like 10 seconds and then marcus the security guard needed to talk to him :(
oh well, ashlee and i kept talking.
then this really scary satanic guy went up on the little platform and said all these things like "use the power satan has given you to defeat christ." it sort of upset me. when he said that i looked at pete and ashlee(her dad was a pastor if you didn't know) and they both looked disgusted. their reaction made me happy (hopefully you know what i mean by that).
after all the gruesomeness, we got to go in. i was standing right behind pete, ashlee, and tom. and i could see andy and joe :]
i saw andy walk through this doorway and cringe and it made me wonder and then when i walked through and saw what it was (a pig that was cut open on a table), i like made a grossed out noise and andy turned around and gave me this 'i know how you feel' sort of look. it was sweet.
after we finally got out of satan's house, fob signed these posters that were given to us, and we got pictures with pete. i didn't get one with joe or andy because they went to the van and so did ashlee. that bummed me out. i really wanted pictures with all of them. but it was ok.
is really was the best night of my life!!!
