ATREYU

2009-11-16T17:42:00.000-08:00

I recently went to a concert on 11-11-09. Luckiest day of my life. It was Atreyu, escape the fate, and Hollywood undead. I hope you’re ready for this one cause it’s long and also unbelievable. Well just to start, this Atreyu concert was the best one I’ve ever been to. So their cd had come out 2 weeks before the show and I had listened to it a ton and knew all the songs. When Atreyu came out I was freaking out. Dan (guitar player) threw one of his guitar picks by me and my cousin Joe so I told her to tell the guy to grab it cause she was closer and so she got it and gave it to me cause I was gonna trade her Dan’s for the Escape The Fate one I got earlier. So they played like 2 songs and then Marc (their bass player) came over to our side during a new song and played bass while singing along with me and then threw his guitar pic at me. It fell on the ground and we couldn’t find it so the security guy told us if he found it he would give it to us. Every time they said they said they were gonna play a song and would mention a title I knew I screamed really loud. Well there’s a new song that I am insanely in love with haha that I was hoping hoping hoping they would sing. The song starts out with just like the sound of a crowd and so the band leaves the stage and has a scream and then Brandon comes back on and starts playing the drums which is what comes next in the song. (Hopefully all that made sense). So when they left stage I started FREAKING out and screaming with all my might and jumping up and down. The bodyguard in front of us even jokingly went up to Joe and asked “are you with her?” haha. So when Brandon came back on stage and played the drum part I was beyond excited. Well they played my favorite song followed by 2 more and I still hadn’t missed any songs. So they announced that they were going to sing a new song called Gallows and I started screaming again. I guess Brandon had noticed that I was screaming and everything so he stopped and said “and this song goes out to that girl right there in front. She has known every song and our cd’s only been out for 2 weeks.” I was so amazed that the amazing drummer of Atreyu had just dedicated Gallows to me in front of the whole crowd. That’s pretty much calling me their biggest fan in the whole building. I saw Dan looking over and smiling at Alex (their singer). It was truly amazing. I still can’t believe it and it was 5 days ago. So they sang Gallows and then had one song left and sang that one. Then when the show was over Dan threw the set list to me and I got it. Then another member (can’t remember which one) came and threw their set list at me too. Then Brandon got out of his chair and got on the amp in front of me and specifically handed me his drum stick. I was shocked. It was super used too so some of my favorite songs were played with that drum stick. The girl next to me tried to grab my drum stick and I was amazed. Did she not just see that whole concert haha. So by the end of that concert I had 2 guitar pics, 2 set lists, and my first drum stick. Amazing!!! Joe was really glad cause she benefitted off of me and got 2 guitar picks too so technically I had 4 guitar picks haha. After the show I had Joe pinch me cause I couldn’t believe it but it was real.

amazing story time

2009-11-08T12:03:00.000-08:00

so yesterday i went on the most amazing adventure with annasilly and her sister :). here's what brought the idea in the first place

Ian's twitters

-Hungry? If anyone is in HAILEY (Sun Valley) Idaho tonight my family owns and operates the most amazing gourmet pizza spot called McClain's

-Pizzeria on Main St in Hailey. GO! It's my favorite in the world next to Lombardi's and Stromboli's in NY. It will blow you away- ENJOY!

so i asked annasilly if she would go with me and she decided that her and her sister were able to. so we headed out and passed some pretty great places like craters of the moon. we needed to take a bathroom break so we stopped at this place

and then we went about 30 more minutes and needed to stop again haha. so we went here and i got some fries and fry sauce which were actually really good

we made it to McClain's and it turns out we got directed to the wrong place which was the old McClain's

so annasilly googled it and found the right place. turns out they were just opening it in a new place and weren't opening until 5 so we had some spare time and went down town to take some pictures with a giant flamingo

and a giant chair. we look so little

and this bear outside of where we got some free fudge

so we went to some other little stores and the library while waiting to go eat at 5 and everybody in the whole town just seemed beyond nice. i was really surprised cause i had never experienced such nice people. no wonder lots of people live there. well we made it to McClain's and the lady that was helping us was really nice. here's the menu :)

we decided to order an 11" pizza and some garlic bread sticks with cheese. SOOO good!!! i asked if she knew if edna worked there and she said she'd only worked there for and hour so she didn't know. she said her name was heidi. i didn't understand that when ian said his family that it wasn't automatically meaning his parents. so we went to check out and i asked the lady at the desk if edna worked here cause that's ian's mom's name and she said no and that she owned the place. so i left to the bathroom thinking that we wouldn't get to meet any of his family. well while my friends were in the bathroom i reread the text and realized it didn't have to mean his parents so we went back to ask how to leave a tip and i asked the lady if she knew an ian. she said ya so i asked her how she was related to edna and she said that was her mom. so we talked about how ian was on jimmy fallon the night before and she asked me if i watched vampire diaries and i said of course. i then proceeded to ask her if ian ever came up haha. she said ya, sometimes in the winter and some in the summer. i said isn't he in new york right now? she answered ya, and he's been living in GA to film the show. i couldn't help but smile. what a successful night i had had. so i asked her if i could get a picture and she said ya, and called over her husband to be in it too. it was so cool. she was telling her husband that we had drove 3 hours just to eat there and she asked us when we were leaving. we told her we were driving back that night and she seemed really amazed. so she told us to write down all of our emails and she would have ian send a personal email to all of us. she was one of the nicest people. he seems to have an amazing family :)

me with ian's sister and brother in law

clothing fun

2009-10-12T21:48:00.000-07:00

so after FHE tonight me, chicka, and annasilly went to walmart and decided to make the craziest outfits that we possibly could and here's what we turned out with. amazingness

MITCHEL MUSSO!!!

2009-10-11T20:05:00.000-07:00

so me and my amazing friend took 10 hours yesterday to make a video for mitchel musso's twitter contest and i was today's winner. today was the 3rd day and the other videos i'd seen weren't really very good so i was hoping he would choose mine. he didn't really comment about the others after he chose them the first 2 days but he did on mine :) this is what his twitters said

road trip

2009-09-29T14:11:00.000-07:00

i know it's been a little over a week now but i really wanted to blog about the roadtrip i had with my awesome cousin. we went to utah friday night on september 18th cause the 19th we were gonna go to the dew tour!! so we drove there and stayed the night at my cousin denae's. she's so amazing for letting us stay. haha on the way to denae's that night and on the way to the energy solutions arena we had to find different ways to go because exits were always closed off. mapquest isn't always great. well on saturday we got up really early cause i was going to hang out with my TJ friends jessie and renata so we were only an hour late since we had to take a bunch of extra roads but we met them at the mall that we were meeting ryan sheckler at that day so it'd be much more convenient. so we hung out with them and then had to go stand in line and wait for ryan. the line was already really long and we even went 2 hours early. me and joe were really scared that we wouldn't get through in time (even though he started signing a half hour early) cause he only had to sign for an hour. i twittered some pictures that i'm going to put up on here. this is the adorable little boy that was waiting in line behind us :)

while i was waiting in line i recognized steve came out. not many people even knew who he was. only me and one other kid. he was on the phone so i waited until he was done and then went and asked him for a picture

here's the amazing picture they gave us for ryan to sign although me and joe already broght some. he was only supposed to sign one picture but he was like "whatever, can sign 2" he was sooo great with all of his fans and even took pictures with everyone. some famous people won't do that

here's a picture of the line of people ahead of me that i took when i was getting really impatient

when we got inside the even went to the left. but when we were inside before it turned steve came over and recognized me and asked me if i was in line when i got a picture with him and i said i was. i don't think everyone that was there got to go through. it pays to be early. ryan didn't get to skate either because he had an injury so we're really lucky that there's such thing as twitter so we knew about the signing. here's me and ryan!!!

and joe and ryan. she's my hero. she asked him if he played with soap hehe

after we met him we just went to the side and took some pictures before we left cause we thought we'd never see him again. later we saw him cause he still went to the dew tour just to watch.

one

and another

this was our view so we could see everything perfect. it was actually amazing and especially for how cheap it was. you can see ryan on the right :)

we were pretty excited cause we got the best seats we could with the price we paid. right in the front on the 2nd floor. i also told joe randomly that i was craving mac n cheese for some reason

yep. we heart ryan sheckler. he's in our heart wearing a black shirt

during the time we were there we saw chris cole skate and discovered he's like one of the best skaters in the whole world!!!! he deserved 1st place but got 2nd. his run was super dee duper!!

it sucked when it was over but it was a great experience. since i was craving mac n cheese, when we got to nae's, she let us have some hehe

this is the pretty bunk bed we stayed in. i got the top

and here's a pic we took we mikayla's princess sign. yes, we're special and i know i look goofy and not very good. joe's adorable though

well on our way home the next day we decided to go to walmart and take a picture in these lovely hats

we wanted to make our road trip one to remember and do something weird so after we got to evanston we bought the cheapest candy there was at every store we passed and made a beautiful picture. here's us eating our cheap suckers although you can't really see mine

and here's the AMAZING pictures we made. the initials CC with chris cole in the middle

amazing time i know. p.s. me and joe's road trip song was to our savior by midtown

yesterday's adventures

2009-09-01T08:43:00.000-07:00

yesterday after work i went with chicka to annasilly's house and played games with her family. her little brothers are so funny. they wanted to type messages so i could send them to twitter.
then after that i got home at like 11:45 and randomly i couldn't wait anymore for the supernatural dvd so i texted tiff tiff and she said she was getting eager too haha so we went to walmart at 12:30 a.m. and got our 4th season dvd :) yes, i also think it's pretty lame that the random spot they chose to put the sticker is over jared's face

the complete collection until season 5 (the last season) is out

awesome saturday

2009-08-23T14:40:00.000-07:00

so yesterday my best friend ash came up from star valley after the live chat. me, her, chicka, and annasilly went to see the movie ponyo. yes i've already seen it but i wanted to see it again. after that me and ash went to my house and ashlea's sister brittnea came over with chris. we went out to eat at mongolian grill because it's pretty much the best place to eat and then we went to the comic book store haha. they didn't have anymore supernatural magazines sadly. so we headed over to the mall to take booth pictures. it was actually a really fun day :) here are my favorite ones

party

2009-08-20T20:17:00.000-07:00

haven't posted in forever so i thought i would post about today cause it was great :) i taught my client all the jonas men's names and so when i pointed at them he would say their names haha. walmart for work is fun. we also tried on jonas scarves, 2 jonas hats, and camp rock glasses. i took pictures but they're not allowed on here without permission of course. well after work i saw annasilly for a little bit with chicka and tomorrow we're doing theme day at her house. party. then tiff tiff came over with her sister marissa and megan and we had a purple nurple party (nonalcoholic of course) for misha's bday. woohoo. i discovered tiffunny is great at spilling things and making the floor sticky haha. it was actually really really fun. pictures for proof :)

My Madina Lake Experience

2009-02-03T19:45:00.000-08:00

This is my story about my Madina Lake/Anberlin concert. I guess it just started out we were waiting in line and me and Katy were really cold so we decided to go to the car really quick to warm up and while my mom held our spot. We were sitting in the car and Stephen from Anberlin walked by and I recognized him so we hopped out of the car as he was going in to the family dollar. We thought he was talking to himself but really he had a Bluetooth and was talking to his love haha. We walked up to him and I asked if I could get his signature and he said “hang on.” We thought he said hang on to us when he actually said it on the phone. So I got a picture and an autograph from him. Later, we saw Mateo like 5 times and I was too scared to talk to him for some reason. Probably because he looked like he didn’t want to be noticed. Finally later I went up and talked to him. Me and Katy kidded that it was because Stephen made me more open to talk to famous people. We got his signature but didn’t have enough time for a picture cause he needed to go in the van. When we got inside it was still freezing. Mury and Between the Trees played before we got to see Madina Lake. But when they came on it was really cool. Nate took off his shoes like he always does. Matt got his bass so close to me that I thought he was going to hit me in the head. They had so much energy. The set list was stuck down where I would be able to reach so during the middle of their last song I grabbed it because they obviously already knew what they were going to sing for the last one. After ML, I was so squished that I just wanted to get out and I didn’t want my set list to get hurt so we tried to squish between the crowd but there was no way so we had to get up on to the stage and go threw the back. They wanted us to go out the back door so we asked “if we do that will they let us back in through the front” and they said “if you have a pass” but then a random guy said we could go to the side and go back to the merch booth so I love that random man haha. As we were walking back we saw matt and nate and asked if they were coming out to meet us and matt said of course. So we went back and waited at the ML merch booth. Mateo came out but nobody else so we bought some merch and hung out with Mury. Jay was the guitar player of Mury I think and we hung out with his best friend who was really drunk. He was so beyond hilarious. I don’t remember his name but I remember he was really repetitive and asked me like 3 times if I’d seen Anberlin before while they were playing. Katy put random pieces of tape on his sweater so I wonder if he remembers how he got them. He went up and watched Anberlin so during a slow song we decided to go up to him and sway back and forth. It was pretty funny. He told me to call him as if that was going to happen haha. Then when Anberlin was done playing a big black guy came and told everyone that they needed to start leaving if they weren’t buying merch so we pretended to and after a while matt came out pushing a box. He said that the reason they took so long was because their bus got stuck. We started talking to him and the security guy asked us if we could move outside to talk to matt and was being a jerk so matt told him off. Go matt. Me and Katy got separate pictures with him and then asked if we could get pictures of both of us kissing him on cheek. He said that was totally cool so we got a picture of that with my camera and then hers. After talking to him we went outside to find nate. We found him outside and he looked really cold. We got separate pictures again and then asked to make a replica picture of matt’s and he said of course so we got 2 from him also. I had him leave me a message on my answering machine but I did it wrong and set it as an extended absence so I accidentally deleted it the next day. I got a big hug from nate and we talked to him forever. I even asked him about why they cancelled the show in Utah a while ago. He said “hit me with it” whenever we said we needed to ask a question so I thought that was pretty funny. I think that’s all I have to say about it cause if I told the whole story this paper would be much too long. It was an all around great time. J

Cobrahcam

2009-01-22T00:04:00.000-08:00

so last night i had a super great experience by one of my favorite bands. last night on stickam's cobrahcam. Gabriel asked people to put their numbers up and there were about 420 people and they called about 5. i was one of the 5 which was super lucky and was like the lowest possibility i thought i could ever have. i was really scared but cobrahcam posted a video on youtube of it. here it is!!! it's SOOOO great. i'm the second caller on here.
