crazy back-and-forth plans about pike place, but then my mom had to work and we wouldn't have time, and booo..... finally got shit figured out and went and picked up jlin!!

jammed HARD to from indian lakes. 

parked, REMEMBERED TO PAY THIS TIME, ugh. 

long line was LONG. 

some guy (not someone in line) tried to tell us that the showbox market only holds 100-200 people? lololol i don't think he even knew what was going on. 

jlin saw a friend. i never asked how you guys knew each other? school, obviously, but, you know. 

some guy behind us in line is definitely NOT ALLOWED INTO THE SHOW. the security guy was yelling at him, "you're not getting in. i don't know why you keep trying. i'm not letting you in." it was right when we were going in the door, so we didn't get to hear much else. i wanna know what he did so baaaad.

saw a sign that said lydia couldn't make it. some girls screamed bloody murder. sad sad times. :( 

dylan played half an hour later since lydia wasn't there. he was good. his acoustic cover of sexy and i know it was "the least offensive one i've heard so far." according to jlin. 

the arkells were pretty great. i enjoyed it a lot. his voice was good, and they introduced themselves as "lydia from phoenix arizona" but really they're from ontario. one of them idolizes ken griffey jr? jlin wasn't aware that canadians liked baseball. i didn't think it was genetically possible. 

checked jlin's bag and coat, went to the bathroom, prepared our hair for battle.

the maine!!!!!

jlin doesn't seem to understand that i don't have anything against the maine? i like them. i just don't listen to them a ton. in fact, i only knew into your arms and right girl and the way we talk, or whatever the old was one that they played. i didn't even know that one very well. so i felt pretty lame. but i still had fun. they're entertaining to watch, for sure. like 10 seconds into the first song? CONFETTI. it was beautiful. jlin ran into the pit at one point, and i followed, and i haven't been that squished in awhile. it was nice for a little bit, but then later it got old and i backed up a little. i was sort of expecting more confetti at the end but there was none. also, no encore. WHAT?! crazy band. johnoh's neck veins were insane. not sure exactly how drunk he was. two people (who i learned were friends of kelsey's) silly stringed them at one point. good times.

then jlin and i went outside to meet everyone and get cd's signed! pat came out first and got mobbed but we were near the mob and he was the only one so we stayed and just hung out and talked, waiting for it to kinda dwindle down or to just find ourselves in front of him hahaah talked about the fuckin' brits a ton and got someone else involved. we liked her and then she tried to say that they've been to portland recently and we were like, "uh no." 

got to pat and asked him to sign cds. jlin caught him JUST before he used his black sharpie and asked him to use her gold paint one. haha idk it was funny at the time. went to get into jared's mob, but garrett's was smaller so we went over there. this lady was like, "i just wanna take a picture..." like, saying it to everyone and then when it was finally her turn, she talked to him about NAMM for like 5 minutes. he shook jlin's paint pen with the cap off and got a splotch on the cd booklet but then just used it as part of the "G" you can still tell it was there, though. haha i told him he's an animal and he was really fun to watch but i think he thought i meant his beard. which is not completely what i meant. decided to try for kennedy next. this girl painted this AMAZING painting and was having them sign it. this other girl, when saying bye, was like, "thanks garrett!!" to kennedy. and everyone went "ooohhhhhhhh buurrnnn" and she just walked away, and jlin started chanting "walk of shame! walk of shame!" and kennedy gave her this EVIL EYE omg it was insane. she was like, "it's true! that's what she was doing! shut up, im curing heart disease." and i was just all, "that is true. she is doing that." so then he signed a couple other things for other people and couldn't ignore us/jlin anymore so he also shook the gold pen with the cap off, and got a drop on his forehead and on this girl's arm. hahaha but he signed it and jlin ad him took a picture and it was good. pat was free when we went to get back into jared's mob, so she took a picture with him, too. then we waited for jared and it didn't take very long, and he's still sick so he was coughing... into his hand, gross. but he was sweet and he signed the cds and shook the pen WITH the cap ON, smart boy, and i feel like we talked about something but idk? and then jlin gave him a mixed cd with from indian lakes and k sera and dave and steve moakler and stacy clark, and he already knows/loves stacy clark! so cool. but he seemed really honestly stoked to get a mix cd, it was adorbs. so then we got in the monster that was johnoh's line. kelsey went up and met him when we were close and they ate warheads together and it was HILARIOUS. he looked miserable hahaha but apparently they've done this before so he knew what he was getting into. after kelsey and he friends left, he was taking a picture with someone else, and he had to stop them to like, cough and make a face because his mouth still hurt from the sour hahaha so then it was our turn and he also shook the pen with the cap on, and jlin got a picture, and as we were leaving she stepped back and almost hit her head on the bus and he was like, "woah, careful, don't crack your head open" and she was like, "well i dont think i was going fast enough for that, you know, f=ma." SO GREAT. i didn't hear it at the time, but on the ride home she remembered that she said it, and i totally believe that those words came out of her mouth at that moment. fantastic. 

went back to the car, and decided that post-show hashbrowns would be a great idea, so we went to fake denny's that's a real denny's now, and i found it on my first try, and had some delicious late-night fooooodz. gonna make post-show hashbrowns a thing now, whenever we can. 

jammed to the fuckin' brits in the car, so gooood.

dropped jlin off, sad sad times. but 3 weeks till from indian lakes!!!!!!! woooo!!!!

drove home listening to the fuckin' brits. i think i changed it to something else after awhile, but i don't really remember. i was fucking delirious. i probably should have stopped somewhere and taken like a 10 minute nap or something, but i didn't. so when i got home i shut the car off and turned the lights off and sat with my eyes closed for a minute. and then i checked my ipod and sat and checked facebook for like 10 minutes and then megan messaged me so we started talking and i told her that i was sitting in the car because i was tired, but, okay, now im going inside. so we talked for a little while but i really really needed to sleep so we said goodnight. 

i seriously considered falling asleep in the car. that would've been stupid, though. and cold, after awhile.
