okie so my first show was in NYC and i arrived in the city really early (because i didnt tell my mom I was going to a concert she thought i was at orientation oPPS) and my best friend on the planet was staying w her mom in the city so i spent the day w her and it was sooooooo fun we shopped and ate in this really cool place idk the name but EVERYTHING WAS MADE WITH CHOCOLATE IT WAS A+ and she basically carted me around all day bc i dont know the subway system so she took me to the venue and dropped me off like i was 5 years old it was cute but yes i met up with sabrina and rebecca and meghan and cayla and i didnt know any of them would be there so it was great omg so VIP was super late (surprise surprise)((except not at all its pf it would be a miracle if they were on time)) so yeah they played fall on me and i just smiled like an idiot bc cole was in front of me and just :)))))) so after they played fall on me it was the m&g part so cayla meghan and i went to michael first and we took selfies and he took like 4 and started low and then went really high up they're so funny i love them then COLE MY BABE i just love him???? so much????? but in all seriousness he is sO IMPORTANT  he just pulled me into a hug and was like "hi how are you" and I was like "I'm great now how're you" and he was like "GOOD glad to hear" and more hugging and I handed him my letter and he was like "I'm excited to read it!!" And I was like "no you're not" and he made the dumbest little insulted face and was like "don't tell me how I'm feeling Nichole" and I died lol we hugged again and took a picture I love him soooooo much shit and I told him id see him sunday and then we went to Sam and he pulled me into a hug and thanked me for coming and I thanked him for touring here before I left for school and I gave him my letter and he thanked me for it and I don't remember what I said exactly but it was along the lines of me thanking him for being there when no one was and how I'm a lot happier now because I've finally learned how to depend on myself but until I learned to do that, their music is what I depended on and how thankful I was for them and he hugged me and thanked me for telling him and he told me he loved me and then we took a picture then VIP was over so i didnt get a picture with jordan or marcus which kinda sucks but I ran over to cole real quick and thanked him for basically the same thing I told Sam but more detailed and more cole related like how he specifically inspired me a lot to depend on myself And he said he was proud of me(!!!!) and hugged me so hard and told me that it was all me that did that and I remember this I said "yeah but I needed something to lean on until I learned to depend on myself and that's what you were, you helped me before I could help myself, and now you guys are just another added happiness to my life" and his face is something I will never forget and he just hugged me and said good luck in college (bc I had started the convo w like yeah two years ago I was like really afraid but now I'm going to college and I'm happy and feel so much better etc) but then he had to go, so as for the openers they were okay the first band was called stations and they were good next was William and he was funny and cute i actually really liked his set, then it was against the current and they have the most annoying fans I have ever experienced there was a group of like 3 guys and 2 girls moshing like???¿¿?¿??¿ but then it was pf!!!!! they so so good like I had to leave early (bc like i said my mom didnt know i was there) but it was still amazing, and i had to leave before Lou came out which I'm a lil bitter about but it was so good anyway, i always forget how comforting and safe it feels to be at pf shows it was really nice
yo i left soooo late for this like hamden is only about 25 minutes from my house and i showed up about 5 minutes before doors and i talked to this really nice girl in front of me i wish i got her name and twitter or s/t but yes this was a basement venue which kinda made me panic a little (idk why just basement venues rub me the wrong way) so the openers: the first was this guy Brett and he was actually really good i was impressed then it was Brookline Drive and let me tell you a lil story about this band, this was the THIRD time i've seen them live and its bc of pf but i have never listened to their music outside of these shows and i knew all the words to their songs. Next was Will and he was really good yet again and then pf!!!!! honestly this was one of my all time favorite pf shows I've ever been to it was just so high energy and so awesome and I got so emotional during their set bc I was so happy how LAME and I more or less bawled when they covered same love opps but I really just let go and like danced my ass off and sang so loud and it was just so so much fun. so after the show I ran into Mia it was so unexpected I didn't know she was gonna be there and we finally got a selfie after like 3 years and I was so excited!!!! omg so then I'm looking for cole so I can say hi and then leave before my mom killed me so we waited and waited and finally they all came out bc Sam and Will were doing the ice bucket challenge and he took off his pants it was a weird experience let me tell you so yeah after they did that and cole and grant were the ones that dumped the ice on them and cole, being the dumbass he is, got himself drenched too, we they were done w that they disappeared again and we waited alittle more for them to like actually come out and my mom was like we have to go now and I was like no just wait a minute but they were on the other side of the building so I ran over but cole wasn't their so i waited. eventually cole came out and I walked over and  he recognized me surprise surprise and just pulled me into a hug didn't even say anything and I told him they were A+ and all that and I was like "can we take a picture where you kinda lean down so I'm taller than you?" And he looked at the ground and then at me like I was crazy and I was like "no don't kneel just like squat" so he did bUT HE WAS STILL TALLER AND SOME GIRL WAS LIKE NOPE COLE NOT ENOUGH AND HE JUST LIKE LAUGHED AND LEANED MORE AND YEAH ITS SO DUMB IDK so we hugged again and I was like see you soon? And he was like "always" yELLS okay so then I'm like running to my moms car before she kills me but Sam was like right there so I ran over and was like hi how are you you were great blah blah and we hugged of course and we took a selfie it's actually really cute and we hugged again and I was like "yeah make sure you say hi to Annie fightingtheseas for me!!" "Annie? oh yeah of course!!! oh don't tell me, you're paintmeanything right??" And I almost dIED I laughed and was like "yes oh my god yeah" I was like so embarrassed idk whY and he laughed fucking nERD and was like "yeah yeah I'm seeing her in like 2 days I definitely will!!" And I said I had to go and he thanked me for coming to so many shows and I was like yeah it's all bc of Annie like she got me listening to you and he looked so idk just the face he made was just happy it was a cute lil happy face and he said he loved me and I said the same and then I left I hate this band so much except I dONT AT ALL
and i just think its so special that sam is acutely aware of annie and i's friendship??? like he heard friend of fightingtheseas and thought of me and idk i just think thats awesome i love my friends and this band :)))))
