kidsxheroesSo, i was going to update at the start of the week when it felt like OMG I HAVE SO MUCH TO SAAAAAAAY! but i didn't cause im a slacky slacker who slacks :/
Let us start with the fact that it is tour time in the UK for the failboats that are mcr. HAY BAND, HAAAAAAY! I have missed them, can't lie.
I ended up going to the London show when a friend couldn't make it and i have no will power so took her ticket off her hands. I got to meet up withpiratesunk and had a little more time with her than back in October which was all of about 10 seconds worth of OH HI, I KNOW YOU? I KNOW YOU YES, SORRY ABOUT THAT! Still too brief though ;___; Now she is kind of based here more hangs need to be had. We got a picture together though in which i do not look like myself.
I finally got to meetblueautopsy too after knowing her for about 4/5 years through s//c!
I was with my usual mcr tour time girls and it was pretty damn awesome. We skipped on the support acts, they're not my thing this time round. Got all manner of restless waiting for the failboats to take to the stage. And while i had been all D: DNW ARENA SHOWS, THEY'RE HUGE AND SUCK! it's actually been ok. Wembley seemed really small, i've never been to a show their before. I think it had sold out (the only one on tour that has) but it still felt pretty empty and not as huge echoing, miles away from the stage space as i thought it would.
It was an awesome show. Lots of favourites off Danger Days, good picks from Revenge, a couple of favourites from TBP and a couple from Bullets which always makes me lose my shit...and my voice :/ BUT HOLY FUCKING FUCK, WE GOT VAMPIRES Y'ALL! AFTER BITCHING ON TWITTER ALL "OMG, THEY'RE ENDING ON CANCER AGAIN >:/ FUCKING BUZZKILLS!" THEY PULL THAT OUT! Shit was glorious, yo. I remember the days when that or anything off Bullets would get the biggest cheer and singalong of the night. Wttbp has held that title since oct. We're in a new generation i feel. Don't get me wrong, i love that album and that song, just...idk. It's odd.
We did hang about after the show as i had driven down and there wasn't really any rush. Got to perv on Mehdi a bit. He is a glorious, pretty man with a voice that does not match his look. I love him a little bit :3 The after show crowd was full of douchebag kids who had no idea of how to behave. Mehdi had come out to say that while the venue had to kick out band and crew at 1am, there was a good chance the band would come out before leaving. The kids had been pretty loud before that, singing, chanting and screaming, but it got worse after that. Even with venue and band security saying if you quieten down the chances are even greater that they'll come out. Yeah...these kids just do not get that maybe after 2 hours infront of noisy, screaming kids the band might appreciate and feel more comfortable with a subduded, respectful crowd who aren't going to scream in their face.
A little while later Mehdi came out again to apologise and say the band wouldn't be able to make it out and was good enough to take things from people who had wanted to give stuff to the band. But of course some kids just don't get they're not entitled to anything other than a good show. There were people around saying "How dare they! After how long we waited" (like, an hour and a half maybe? i've waited a lot longer than that) "Let's boo them when they go" Shit like that pisses me off like no other and i wanted to lay into people. How about you stfu and go home and cry about it? It's past your bedtime anyway.
So then i had a big enough drive from London back up home but i had company in Beccy and Katie who is super lovely and lol. She reminds me so much of Shiv, but that is awesome. Found a 24 hour Starbucks at a weird service station just outside London. They were my saviour and i did walk in all O____O you're open? O____O really? O____O can i have coffee? O____O It was amazing. I pounded some Monster too and had my coffee to sip the rest of the drive...i had a moment of feeling very, very off while driving. Like, not on this planet. But there were epic Danger Days singalongs and my girls talking to me to get me through it. Got to bed at 5am or something.
Just to have another show that day :D Birmingham show and the weather was fucking vile. Good old midlands :/ Collectednarratives on the way, dealt with the most unhelpful parking attendants in the world and still had to park a 5/10 min walk away from the venue...in the god awful weather. Awesome.
So, the LG isn't actually the NEC which is good cause that place is fucking huge too. This is small for an arena and new with fancy facilities and whatnot. They had guitar hero set up for entertainment. We watched and cheered people on or mumbled that they should gtfo the stage cause clearly they were shit. Apart from dorky, awkward young boy who does look like how my nephew will in a few years. We all rallied behind him, he was awesome ;___*
The venue felt really empty yet again but im ok with it. Sucks for them. With a smaller than expected crowd, it didn't really feel like arena show, not in the way they did in 2007 when venues were packed. I approved of it more this way.
The show was A+ again \o/ Laura and i went further into the crowd so we could bust some moves. I can't lie, the crowds have been kind of dead. Even with being on the very edge of the death zone/pit...people were mainly just standing there. WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?! DID YOU NOT HEAR PLANETARY (GO!)? YOU'RE DEAD INSIDE IF YOU CAN'T EVEN JUST SWAY TO THAT! wtf. Jeb is awkward and sassy and a diva bitch and loves Grant Morrison/Batman and Robin as much i as do, though i am not a 15 year old girl and don't write on myself, but i love that he is a little fanboy.
Had a dance, had a little weep during flw and Helena but Laura was there to be awesome and hold my hand and not judge me...too much, and had a good fucking scream during Vampires. Band, thank you for bringing that back <333
Again, as i'd driven and had a carpark that wasn't going to lock my car inside, we got our lurk on. We had no idea where we had to go and acheived lurking \o/ The crowd was super small compared to London and from the start was just nice and quiet and not full of batshit, entitlement issues kids. We all just did as security asked and behaved and London, that is why we get nice things! I have a lot of crap signed by that band, but there is usually something floating in my sketchbook that i'd like them to sign if im brave enough. I had my killjoy mikeyway doodle for him to sign, but no individual ones of the other guys so they would get to sign next to my gway sketch *___* I didn't pussy out (mainly cause Laura took the sketch off me and glared) After Ray had taken my sketchbook and mistook gway's doodle for mine (you's damaged boy) and signed it...he took my mikeyway sketch off me O____O Nooooooo, give it back O____O But he got all :D WHAT'S THIS? THIS IS YOURS? IT'S AWESOME :D GOOD WORK :D and i just kind of fall over my mouth. Shit is always weird.
Frank is always just a lovely little person when he isn't being a douchebag troll, but that is his charm along with his ~earnest eyebrows. Srsly, they go like / \ whenever he's talking to someone. And i believe getting a gleeface and an AWESOME! from mikeyway for my doodle is a pretty big deal and quite possibly the most animated i will ever see that boy.
Crap picture of doodle in question, now signed and band ~approved.
We did not get any Jeb time, Mehdi told us it was due to having many interviews to do and seeing as he's had to do a fuckton of stuff for kerrang radio this week, i understand. (And tonight after the manc show according to ray 3/4 of them are crazy ill :( im guessing not ray as he took to twitter to inform us all)
So my weekend was a pretty crazy one and tiring but awesome. I've powered through at work like a boss this week what with other full time sewing lady being off with flu still. She came back on thurs and seemed quietly impressed at how much i'd got done the last two weeks. I seem to have gotten a lot quicker with some things \o/
Still tinkering around with things in my new place. I still have so much to unpack but not too much decorating left to get done really.
Got my Lindsey Hush heart reworked a bit today while i was back over ~my old town. It looks a bunch better now the red has been touched up. I've never had a touch up on a tattoo before, and christ was it more painful than the first go O___o Still sore and hot now.
Tomorrow i am collectingnarratives Laura again as she caved and decided to come along to the Notts mcr show \o/\o/\o/ More hangs with lovely friends and getting to flail/mock my band once again <3
