Let me backtrack a little bit: technically, I should have posted about the April 30th Long Hair We Don't Care Tour date I went to BEFORE I posted about Bamboozle, but. I GOT DISTRACTED, OKAY? I'm gonna post about that, AND THEN, I'm gonna post about the 5/10 HCT show I went to on Saturday. SO STRAP IN.
4/30, the CT LHWDCT: My body picks the worst times to get sick. But, apparently, the path to sickness is paved with good things! Because you get to deliriously talk about things like
Brendon Urie: The Richard Simmons of Facial Excercise! "Today, we're going to work on the mouth! With special guest, Ryan Ross!" Oh, SAM.
Things that happened at the show:
I have, like, Alex Johnson radar. Or something. Seriously, everytime he was anywhere remotely close to me, I spotted him. That kid is like a ninja! So, of course, everytime I spotted him, I was obligated to announce his full name outloud. Much like one would announce a boxer. Because.
After the show I ran into Ian. Who I rambled at. "Great show! New tattoo? I can't wait for Bamboozle!
LOL you have pink underwear on! I got your CD 6 days early in the mail!" He was all, "Yeah! 8D" And then I ran away. He may have been stoned. Couldn't tell, but they sort of all had sunglasses on. In possibly one of the most dimly lit venues ever. XD
Cash, Ian, Marshall and Johnson left Singer to put all their equipment away in their van, by himself. Yes, GENIUS, let's let the tiniest member of our band put all the heavy stuff away by himself. *facepalm*
Nate, from Sing It Loud, likes to bombard you while you are innocently standing in the mosh pit. I have a feeling he is a ninja with Johnson. They are the cutest little baby!band ever (even though I am the same age, if not older than them). I sort of love them a lot. And the fact that, apparently, someone overheard a conversation with Nate and Singer, about their hair and how Nate was "totally more than happy" to help Singer straighten his hair. REALLY. I MEAN,
REALLY.
After shows I get the munchies.
I wonder if this is how Brendon feels all the time... So I made up a song about pie in the car. ("I want pieeee. I want pieeee! Surprise me with your pie!" And I sang it the entiiire way home, while similtaneously taking the most ridic pictures of myself and my cousin.
5/1: I go to the doctors. I find out that my sore throat is actually strep. LOL GREAT, BODY.
5/2-5/4: Obviously, Bamboozle and Hoodwink. Lots of shenanigans and awesome fangirls, most all happenings listed in my previous post. (I forgot to mention the hotel having a channel called TV Japan, though! And on that lovely channel, they played Japanese soap operas and sitcoms. Seriously entertained us for maybe too long. Also. Room service is the best thing ever.
Just ask Gabe.)
5/5-5/9: Still fighting off strep. Not funny anymore. Can't even call my girlfriend at all and talk about Brendon or his stupid face because my voice sounds like Travis Clark's voice on helium. If Travis Clark on helium were also a two dollar hooker. Really not attractive.
5/10, the CT HCT!: Got to the venue at around 1pm. Yes, I wait in lines for 5 hours often. One of the dudes that worked for the venue was really confused as to what we were there for. ("You're here for the show
tonight?") Met up with all sorts of livejournal fangirls I knew, and some I didn't. Talked about dinosaur chicken nuggets filled with cheese. Lol, I couldn't make this up. Jennifer told me she had something she was waiting to tell me in person. I flailed and asked her what, and she said that there were rumors about Brendon Urie and Mat Devine making out after Bamboozle. I sort of melted and then stared at her dumbly. I had to ask her to repeat herself several times. KJSHKDGKSHDG I don't know how much truth it's based on, but I sure as fuck entertained the idea.
[link][link]One of the other fangirls we were sitting with had gotten a meet & greet for the Philly show the previous night. She got them to sign an Aladdin DVD.
Brendon exclaimed, "This is my favorite movie!!" And she was all, "*facepalm* Really?" XDDDDDDDD And then, apparently, Jon talked about Beauty and the Beast the entire time, and how that is clearly superior to Aladdin.
LOL I DON'T EVEN KNOW, PANIC. WHERE DID YOU TAKE MY LIFE?
Another fangirl we were with had a meet & greet that day. She got them to pose as Charlie's Angels. It is now the best picture ever taken of them anywhere.
Jennifer announced that she managed to get me an extra early entry pass, so I was all \o/. AND THEN TWO OF THE WORST THINGS HAPPENED.
1: Zack herded us into an entirely different line for early entry and meet & greets. Jennifer didn't know the last name of the girl who had my early entry pass. Zack got to us and Jennifer was all, "Um, lol, we don't have a last name for her yet. But we will in a second!"
And then he glared at me. I totally thought he was going to kill me. With his eyes. Eventually, the girl came, but Zack never came back to ask for the last name. This is why I love Zack.
2: Someone, who shall remain nameless, happened to have a meet & greet for the show. I never wanted to see this someone ever again. Guilt and sharp words. This someone saw me and immediately didn't know what to do. I told her which line was which. This someone is unfortunately still my sister's friend, so I saw her more than once.
BUT all was good anyway!
At one point, on the rolling screen, someone put, "Scream if you love Ryan Ross." And Zack \o/ and then screamed.
The venue was horribly organized and promptly recieved death threats from some dude who was all, "OMG I HAVE BEEN HERE SINCE 12. WILL SOMEONE PLEASE FUCKING TELL US WHAT TO DO?!?!" Because you had to get wristbands, if you had pit tickets, but no one was telling us that until we were trying to get INTO the pit. Also, early entry wasn't really early entry. The douchebags let everyone else in at the same time as us.
So we got wristbands and all that nonsense, and then promptly got barrier, on Ryan's side. Because when you get Ryan, you get Spencer. And Brendon. AND Ryan and Jon switch sides at one point, so, Jon too. Really, there's no losing. I also have an insane crush on Eric Ronick. AND SHANE. Like you didn't already know
that.
Phantom Planet: Still amazing. Alex Greenwald is the drunkest thing alive. I love it! Apparently, so does Spencer Smith. Because he watched their entire set by the side of the stage. Hips cocked and everything. Seriously, you ridiculous human being. *flail* And he was smiling. Like, HUGE SMILES. And there was this dude standing with him that we
thought was Brendon. Because dude had Brendon's jacket on. But it
wasn't Brendon. So then we thought it was Shane. But it wasn't Shane either. When I finally got a clear view of his face, I identified him as this dude (
[link] [link]). He just has shorter hair now, but I'm pretty damn sure it was him. He's been around just as long as Shane, maybe longer. And it took forever to find out who the fuck Shane was, so. Maybe someone will do a primer on him soon. XD
I am not ashamed to say I watched Spencer more than I watched Phantom Planet, even though I really like Phantom Planet.
The Hush Sound: Greta played barefoot. She is maybe hanging out with Jon too much.
Motion City Soundtrack: Played for 40 days and 40 nights. Lol, no, really. Longest set of my life. I love them on CD, but live? Notsomuch. Geek points for the Sirius Black shirt, though.
PANIC: I can't even. Best Panic show I have possibly ever attended.
Possibly.
Ryan is seriously pleasant after getting drunk. He had this red cup on stage, that he kept on Spencer's drum elevation thing. He was all smiles and handsy with Brendon after downing the entire thing. And then upon noticing it was empty, he demanded more, with a flippant gesture to his empty red cup. He wiggled the cup in the air, to someone backstage, his eyebrows raised, cheeky little smile included. "FILL THAT SHIT UP, YOU PLEEB GUITAR TECH!" He was totally not asking nicely with his eyes. Oh, RYAN.
I mean, I worry about all of them with that shit, but I'm not going to negate that it makes a good time.
I sort of like Spencer's ridiculous head-scarves. A lot. (Lol, apparently, some stupid fangirls at a previous show were talking about them, while Spencer was, like, 2 feet away from them, signing shit, and they didn't realize he could hear them, and they were all, "I want to rip that thing off his head, seriously." And he turned around and said, "I'd like to see you try. *bitch face*" LOLOLOL
SPENCER.) Spencer has been my favorite lately, wtf. Usually I don't have favorites, because I mean, ALL OF THEM, SERIOUSLY. But. *hands* I still refuse to have much of a OTP in this band (you know, besides my crazy bouts of Ryden sometimes), because, GSF, man.
GSF. OT4. Or whatever.
Brendon put Ryan's tamborine on his head at one point, like a crown.
At one point (I forget during which song, because. I JUST started being able to coherently think about the concert without going like this, "SKJGDJHSG LOLOLOLOL") Eric took Ryan's tamborine and went up onto Spencer's elevated drum stage, and Ryan did big pouty lips at Jon, like, "He stole my tamborine AND my Spencer." I initially thought he was doing pouty lips for Jon because Jon kept staring wistfully at Spencer and Eric and then back at Ryan, like, "Hey. I wanna go up there." But. I put my tinhat away for a little while.
Ryan kept mic sharing with Brendon. There are amazing pictures of this.
Brendon did his ridiculous faces. Mostly at Ryan. Or to Ryan's back. (He danced around Ryan, and then got really close to the back of his head, and. Lol.)
I love Spencer having a microphone. I love all their banter before and after songs, honestly. I can't even remember half of the shit they said, but IT WAS AWESOME, I know that much.
All of them go play guitar to Spencer a lot. It is really adorable.
Ryan leaned into Brendon, inbetween a song, while all the lights were down (meaning, you wouldn't be able to see it unless you were against the barrier), and said something, and then Brendon laughed really hard and did an "omg, I can't believe you just said that" face and then playfully smacked Ryan's arm.
People were throwing bracelets onto the stage, and Ryan kept picking them up and putting them on. Then Brendon started picking them up and putting them on Ryan. And getting some for himself. Finally, he was all, "OMG! I love bracelets, throw all of yours up here! 8D" And, of course, everyone did. And then Ryan was all, "Lol, throw all your wallets and social security numbers up here too." AND THEN THEY MADE UP A SONG ABOUT BRACELETS. Out of nowhere, Ryan goes, "This is the Bracelet Song!" And Brendon starts making up a song about picking up bracelets. And Ryan chimes in. And Jon is all, "lol, I'ma gonna drink my glass of wine over here." AND THEN SPENCER HOPS DOWN FROM HIS DRUM STAGE, promptly trips over some of the cables that are taped to the stage, recovers and does \o/, and then starts picking bracelets up too. KJSHDKGSDKHG And then Brendon picks one up, shows Spencer, trades him for one, and then slips one on his wrist for him. AND I EXPERIENCED THAT ALL LIVE.
Jon helping Brendon sing Folkin' Around killed me dead.
At the end of Mad As Rabbits, they went into, "NAH NAH NAH NAH, NAH NAH NAH NAH, HEY HEY HEY, GOOODBYYYE."
And everyone went home with their face melted off.

Oh god, I forgot to tell you. LASTNIGHT, WHEN AARON WAS CRACKING WEIRD AND SOMEWHAT UNCOMFORTABLE BUT HILARIOUS JOKES. He kept insisting that I am 'the guy' in our relationship (like he has ANY way of knowing). And I was like "...no, we're BOTH the girl, because. WE'RE BOTH GIRLS." And he goes "oh, you say that now, but... ten years from now..." HE KEPT ASKING ME IF I WANT TO GET A HAIRCUT TOO. APPARENTLY I AM NOW A TOTAL DYKE IN HIS EYES. *headdesk*
And, lol. He started out saying "did you hear..." but then he probably thought "duh, she has", so he started again, "WHY DO THEY HAVE A SONG CALLED NINE IN THE AFTERNOON?" (lol, Aaron, two months too late.) And I was like "um. it's just kind of." and he goes "Does it have some kind of hidden meaning, or is it just because it rhymes?" And I was trying to explain that it was just something that was kind of thrown around but he didn't get it. XDDD
But then, um. Okay, this takes a bit of explanation, but he does this thing where if he has a song stuck in his head or something and he wants to sing it but he doesn't know the words all that well or can't remember them he replaces them with really stupid shit. Like, there was that one song "Hero" from Spider-Man I think, he used to sing like "wings of a dolphin" instead of "eagle", but I think that was more of an intentional humorous thing, idk. ANYWAY.
SO HE DECIDES TO START SINGING NINE, BUT SCREW THE LYRICS UP. XDDD I THINK HE WAS TRYING TO MAKE ME UPSET OR SOMETHING, BUT INSTEAD IT JUST HAD ME LAUGHING HYSTERICALLY. HE'S ALL "IT'S NINE IN THE AFTERNOON. YOUR EYES ARE THE SIZE OF BABOONS." hfakdsjh;lkhg XDDDDDDD AND THEN. HERE'S THE GREAT PART. HE GOES "WHAT IF IT WAS 'YOUR BUTT IS THE SIZE OF A BABOON?'" KD;SHKGL;KH AND I WAS LAUGHING REALLY HARD AND I MUMBLED UNDER MY BREATH, "OMG. BRENDON."
