#leakycon2017

More starkid highlights: -Dance Again!! Highlight of the day was Joe singing the opening line, pausing for like 15 seconds and being like "let's start that again" -Not Over Yet, Brian sung the main bit as usual but forgot one of the lines. The audience started singing it and he was like "this is my song dammit!" -Brian also screamed random words of the song ridiculously high pitched. At the edge of the stage Meredith was trying not to laugh and literally about to lose it -Jaime came on and sung Not Alone like an angel. At the end she made a <3 at us and I literally ascended into heaven -the rest of sk came on to start another song but we still hadn't stopped screaming from Not Alone. The screaming lasted ages and they looked p surprised tbh but there was a lot of love for Jaime that couldn't be contained -During Sidekick Joey undid one of the buttons on his shirt and everyone lost it -This Is the End happened and was amazing -Last song was Days of Summer. It was beautiful and then just as it ended, Dylan transitioned into singing "time of my life" and when Lauren joined in Brian was like "what the hell are you singing?" -we got 5 more glorious minutes of them singing that. During this song: -Nick jumped into Joe's arms -Meredith jumped into Brian's arms -Lauren looked like she was about to suggest picking up Dylan but thought better of it -Joe came down into the audience and danced with us -all the starkids high-fived some of us!! I got to high-five Meredith and I'm never washing my hand again -they left the stage and ppl started yelling "ONE MORE SONG". Nick came out and sang one of those Irish jig type songs and it was awesome -left the show feeling v blessed

So I watched Starkid's Leakycon performance today (I'm so sorry I couldn't film all of it or even take pics, my phone screwed up and it was literally impossible) and I'm gonna tell you the highlights bc I can't even believe it happened tbh -they began with Goin' Back to Hogwarts (classic sk) and thEY WERE WEARING MATCHING GOLD SHIRTS OMG -Nick opened the song and was amazing as Harry -In Hermione's bit, Brian stole Joey's line and changed it to "that would be cool 'cause you are actually hot" nice going Brian :p  ignore this lmao @citizen-of-earth pointed out that it’s actually still Joey’s line but they changed Brian’s too to go along the same lines...just watch the recording and you’ll see what I mean -Dylan did his "Welcooooooooooome" bit but held the note twice as long as normally - cue the other starkids looking surprised and v impressed -Harry Freakin' Potter - Joey knocked it out of the park with his dance moves I mean damn -Next up was To Have A Home. All I can say about this is that Dylan freakin' nailed it and that a bunch of people put their phone's torches on and waved them in time to the music -Meredith comes on and everyone goes WILD bc we all know what's coming next -Meredith like the absolute angel she is invites everyone to come up to the stage to help her sing it - stampede to the stage ensues -I end up in the second row from the stage!! So close to Meredith!! And let me tell you pics on the internet do not do her beauty justice -I got to HIGH FIVE MEREDITH STEPIEN -At the end of Coolest Girl she gets down and group hugs the audience, even though I wasn't really close enough that's like the best experience of my life -Did I mention Nick came up with the most hilarious HP limericks in between songs?! Bc Ireland -I think Different as Can Be came next?? All you need to know about this one is that Joe was like "you're a sissy, a twat, a girl! I'm the darkest of lords!" And Brian replied with "I'm the brightest professor here, and also you shouldn't call me things like that" -GRANGER DANGER. Lauren and Joey were amazing as usual. Lauren pretended to be dead until her turn to sing came -by the bridge point of the song they were singing rly intensely at eachother from about 2 feet away and got closer and closer towards the end of the song. At the end they had a tiny kiss and the audience died (breaking this up into two parts bc damn it's long)

Ok so here's my encounters with starkid from yesterday!! Thank y'all so much for letting me share this with you <3 I hope this isn't too boring It worked out though bc so like. this morning I met nick lang!! he was super cool and I told him I'd loved the show and got to have a pic with him too XD Completely by accident ran into Dylan and Jaime!! Another fan took a pic for us and I told them how much I'd loved the performance. Everything else is a blur but that alone made my year and Jaime is such a sweetheart Later yesterday evening I got a picture with Meredith at the Esther Earl Ball! She was so nice and she saw my phone case and was like "is that pusheen? Aw it's lots of lil pusheeeeeeen!" and was just so happy and friendly and I couldn't quite believe that this was Meredith Freakin' Stepien standing in front of me and complimenting my phone case :') I told her that I'd loved the show and she was like "oh yeah it was so embarrassing we all wore the same shirts" and I couldn't stop myself from telling her how much I loved the matching outfits thing and how amazing it was to meet her. I can't put into words what a wonderful kind amazing person she is <3 I'd been dying of stress trying to gather the courage to talk to her and she was so kind and friendly to me!! I love her sm A bit later I saw Joe and Joey hanging out at the bar. I waited for ages trying to summon the courage to go over to them and also just being completely star struck by Joey being a few feet away from me. Joey left (to find the others?) but I didn't want to bother him so I stayed back. I approached Joe later and got a pic with him and chatted with him briefly! I told him I'd loved the show and he said he hadn't performed in like a year so he was super rusty and I was like "dude,,if you were I did not notice" XD I think I shook his hand too?? And that was day 1!!! Have I mentioned the starkids are so kind and approachable bless them so much. Meeting them honestly made my year and I was so lucky to have the opportunity <3
