I'We got there about 3:45 and chatted to a bunch of my friends and met up with loads of people and then ashes came out and I got loads of hugs and Nico said hi and I wanted to Skype my gf so she could talk to everyone but my phone fucked up and hates me (it ran out of power basically I'm just being overdramatic). Then we went in for vip soundcheck and it was amazing!!!! I hung out with my friends again and we all got horror cult snapbands and I got even more Crilly hugs because I gave him the poster "IT'S COVERED IN DIFFERENT LANGUAGES! AWESOME! AND ITS GLITTERY!!" I believe were his exact words. to which my friend replied "yep. like Nico!" and then they were talking about a day out in Bristol Crilly had suggested and Crilly said something about always being stuck in a crowd going the other way and I replied "just attack them all with hugs" which Crilly took to mean jump on to the merch table, roll over it sideways and attack ME with hugs! not that I'm complaining of course CRILLY HUGS ARE MY LIFE FORCE haha! JK but seriously, amazing!!!!! Then Nico realised I didn't have a snapband so he came and snapped one on my wrist still in the plastic so I took it off and undid the plastic then snapped it back on. Also my hat hates Crilly because every time he hugged me it fell off me but it loved Nico and kept attracting more glitter every time he hugged me. Nico also looked v sad when I said my gf couldn't come. bless him! Also I told him he's cooler than Affleck's palace but he said "I'm not sure but I'm not going to disagree" and Nico waved at my phone screen when I told him my girlfriend said hi which was adorabubbles!!! Anyway, back to the gig. WA were asdfghjkl and sang American Idiot with Danneh from DSG and then a Used song with Crilly. Then The Dead XIII were on and amazing and I couldn't stop smiling the whole time especially when they made a load of people get up on stage and dance with them! I'm a bit sad I didn't get to talk to them properly but there's always next time. Then in F,ML's set Chad tried to start a moshpit right around me and I wasn't really expecting it so I ended up clinging to my friends having a panic attack and either someone told Chad or he saw and stopped it or my friend did and then he sat on the front of the stage so he was at my eye level and sang the lyrics at me right in my face! It was amazing and definitely made me smile again and then ashes came on and asdfghjkl! I was right at the front with all my friends and Crilly kept coming over to us and singing in our faces and he kept letting me and the two friends either side of me sing with him! it was so perfect and asdfghjkl!! I can now say I've sung in the mic with Adam Crilly! My friends were all so amazing too and were protecting me when people were trying to start a moshpit and I also got SO FUCKING COVERED IN GLITTER THAT ME AND MY FRIENDS DECIDED I LOOKED MORE LIKE NICO THAN CRILLY BY THE END AS THE CROSSES HAD RUBBED OFF! Sorry, that wasn't supposed to all be in caps but I can't find a way to change it now. So yeah. Anyway, it was so amazing!!!!!! Then after the gig I stayed and chatted to my friends and I got ashes to sign my notebook. Falkor has super neet handwriting and wrote 'with love from ashestoangels' and then signed it! Then I went to Jim and he signed it and hugged me and bled on it because he'd hurt his hand drumming (he hit the drum with his hand instead of his drumstick) and when I went up to him he was all 'are you squeamish' and when I said no he showed me his hand and when I asked why/how he was all 'I didn't do it on purpose' and it was so adorable and then he put his blood on the page and said 'there you go, now you can grow your own Jim in a petri dish or something' and oh my god I love that man so much! We were both laughing although I feel a bit mean now. But the idea of a 'Grow Your Own Jim Baber' was very funny! Then I went to get Crilly to sign it and he thanked me and told me to thank my gf too for the poster again and he genuinely seemed so fucking pleased about getting to keep it it was so adorable! And then he was like 'so when are we coming to your house?' and asdghjkl HE DIDN'T FORGET OH MY GOD IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN HOPEFULLY SOONISH and me and my mum were like 'we'll feed you loads of food because it's quite far' and Crilly being the madman he is doesn't think 3 hours is 'that far' but he was all 'we like lunch' which was adorabubbles and then he said when we were leaving that their drivers could help with the chair if we needed it which was super kind!!! Then we went upstairs to Nico and he signed my notebook too and smiled and laughed at me because I'm so covered in glitter and tried to hug me but we couldn't reach so we ended up just awkwardly arm holding which was cool and yeah but strange. Then I had to go home but I said bye to some friends first and thanked everyone for such a good night and got a WA CD which my friend who was doing merch for them tried to give me for half price but I felt bad so I payed the full amount and yeah it was amazing and I'm so ridiculously happy!! I'm a little bit sad I didn't get a proper chance to talk to F,ML but I got lots of smiles and waves and Chad is so fucking cute when he does this little mini two hand wave thing; it's adorable okay!! And someone from F,ML was talking to my mum about liking Adam Lambert but I wasn't sure who because I didn't pay enough attention. Haha! I think it was London though. So yeah, that was my day! It was so amazing and I wish I had a tardis or a time turner so I could do it all again!

Hey everyone my friends band Without Andrew have the chance to play Havoc Fest, they just need more votes! It'd be awesome if you could take the time to go vote for them so they get the chance to do it

Our new song was released this week! Chuck us a listen :)

this is like a super big opportunity for us i hope we don’t suck

there seems to be a lack of them at the moment, even though loads of people were taking photos. There was a girl i was speaking to last night, but she said she didn't have Facebook and only had a Tumblr, but i didn't catch her URL, so I hope she sees this!
