I woke up this morning thinking I was going to babysit this evening and sit around doing nothing from 6-10:30. My day was screwed up with the lady called me saying she wasn't going to go out now because she felt sick... blah blah blah.. whatever. So then I was like "cool. now I can hang out with my friends and have some fun!" YES! It was soo nice out today. Sunny and almost 70 degrees. Pretty good for November.
But turned out my friends had other plans and they didn't really want me to go with them. They felt like I would have been a burden because I needed to get back to let the dog out... I was so over it by the time they were like "well, if you really want to, you can come.." and I had planned a day of vegging out watching HBO. I was cool with that.
Then i get the text message. It's Teegan. "Hey wanna go to the A Kidnap in Color Concert with me?" Ummm... HELL YES I DO! I never turn down a Kidnap show. They were playing a charity case out in Morton Grove, so i thought it would be fun to go.
We get a little lost on the way, but eventually find the place. St. Martha's Church. Yeah it was awkward trying to enjoy a rock concert with a bunch of Jesus statues staring at you. I mean REALLY AWKWARD. Not the way i like to get my rock on. ell.ohh.ell.
When we get there there's another band playing, some other local band. Turned out that one of the guitarists was the boyfriend of a girl I go to school with. Yeah, it's always awesome to see people I go to school with. But she was totally, sincerely excited to see me there. She is a total sweetheart. The band wasn't half bad, rather decent. A couple songs later, the band ends and sets a switched and on walks the member of AKNIC. God. Lemme tell you. I love love LOVE band guys. They are soo cute. They play their new song Vanity Fair and some songs from their first album, but the best part was when they changed it up and covered Shania Twain's This Don't Impress Me Much. Best cover ever. A little change of the words to fit an all dude band, a Jonas brother reference and it pretty much made my night.
When the finished and cleared their set, the lead singer, Davey came out to hang out. All these little fan girls came rushing over to him hugging him asking him for pictures, "OMG! Can we get a picture with you?" & "OMG!!! WE LOOVE YOU!!" In less than ten minutes he was surrounded by a sea of young girls. *Side note: These girls were in the age range of probably 13-16. Most of them teeny bopper emo/scene girls, or well poser girls. Girls in tight jeans and high heels. It just made me ask "What has influenced you to wear something like that to a concert?" SERIOUSLY!!!* ANYYWAAAYS... back to DAVEY... I was like you would think he was famous or something. We exchanged our casual "hey, you guys were great. it's good to see you guys again blah blah blah" then Teegan and I decided to go sit outside, we weren't interested in the next couple bands. So we decided to go blast so music in the car and tweet Davey. He replied soon after our post and wanted to talk. We went back to hang with him a little bit, and then Cavshawn came on. They ended the night and then we left. Ran into Davey again and he gave hugs and we said our goodbyes. let me just throw this out there... for just getting off stage, he smelled really good, but not like a normal guy smell, but he smelled good. I don't know how to explain it. Very rock and roll. ahaha.
Topped off the night with some Peach berry bubble tea and made a drive home. I feel as if I didn't completely waste my good Saturday night.
For feeling like a total piece of crap to having a good good night.
I've come to realize that I need to go to more local shows. I love concerts and watching bands perform.
I gotta find other people who want to go to shows with me, and not be party poopers... I fins I'm surrounded by a lot of those. sad face.
I am going to an acoustic show with William Beckett from The Academy Is... in December. Pretty pumped about that. But I think there are more shows that need to be seen.
It's been a long weekend, and it's technically not over. I'm gonna try to get some sleep.
Peas.
