BND May 9, 2009. FOB Hometown show, ftw. - Megan [jbkat_ftw3]

So, I woke up Saturday may 9, 2009 at about 10 am to start getting ready. I had to wait till my mom got home from work at 12:15 to leave. Once she got home we were on our way to a mall about 20 minutes away where I would meet up with Katie [allkatielow] and we would leave to Allstate. I got there at about 12:45 and we left right away. We pretty much jammed to all time low the whole way there. Woop woop.  we took a few wrong turns, but we ended up getting there by no later than 1:30. There weren’t as many people there as I thought there would be. But when we got there we waited in line with cassie and her friend Nicole. ‘twas fun. We made a few target runs because we were following the bands’ twitters and seeing what they were up to, haha. One time we went there, cassie spotted Vicky-t in the makeup aisle. Haha. I saw her from a way distance walking out, lol. It was cool that target was right next door, and starbucks was across the street.  we were creepin’ on Lisa’s twitter and we saw her walk by on her way to starbucks, haha. Then as she was walking back by the line we kept yelling her name and she looked like she wanted to hide. I felt bad, but eventually she did wave. Haha. We’re too much of creepers.

Then it was getting closer to meet and greet time, about 4oclock. Which is when we found Ashley, jesse, and Meghan. The meet and greet was pretty unorganized, not gonna lie. We were told to stay by the box office, then the police told us to go toward the venue, so we went there. Then we were told to go back to where we were, and once again, back to the venue where a line was FINALLY formed for metro/atl meet and greet. At this point, I actually didn’t have meet and greet. I was banking on getting in with meghan’s extra meet and greet tickets. Haha. Then finally at about 4:45 or something Flyzik came out and got all of us. I walked in and when it came to meet and greet, Ashley actually gave me her extra ticket she had all along. Apparently it was a surprise.  thanks girl. Also, meghan’s extra meet and greets did not work anyway, so I got lucky.

The boys came out and I immediately ran to Jack with Katie, rofl. We got up to him, and I could tell he was still upset. Poor boy. Then Katie gave him his new Cubs hat which I never approved of, ahaha. She claims he was completely uninterested in receiving it, but whatever. She’s wrong. Lol. It was my turn to talk to him. Yess. I went up for a high five, and he opened his arms for a hug. I died, rofl. I had him sign my shirt, and I chatted with him about it and if he liked ‘em and whatnot. Then I asked for two pictures, haha. The first one was just normal. And he was totally just squeezing me, I didn’t want it to end. Then the second one I was like can we do a funny one?! And he’s like “nope!” then laughs. Cute. We were hugging and apparently we made the same face, sticking our tongue out, and then during the picture this chick was like “aww they’re making the same face!”..while we were wearing the same color flannel shirt, too. Haha. So jack was like “so we’re boyfriend and girlfriend! *smile*” I was like “oh yes, we are!” and then I grabbed his hand and we did a handshake. Yes. I gave him one last hug then I left, hah.

I was going to go to alex but there were too many people by him, so I went by Zack. He was..interesting. haha. He’s cute. I told him I loved his shoes.  and then I was standing on the wrong side of the floor or something and flyzik’s like”you can only be on that side” I was like”ahh, sorry” mand then zack is like “I can only be on this side!” I was like haha okay. So we took a picture and I walked toward rian. I didn’t really chat with him much, unfortunately. I took a picture, and went to look for alex. He was no where to be found. =[ apparently he had to leave to get medicine and said he’d be back but lied, and never came back. I was very upset. I shoulda went to him first. So I just went back by jack, haha.  flyzik was like we have to go, jack. And he’s like “aww =[ why?!” I was like awwww. So he started walking away and I asked for one last hug but I didn’t get it so I just grabbed his hand as he walked away. Great. 

Then we went up to the stage. I think I was about 4th row on the leftside of the stage at that point. Not too shabby. We waited there for a little over an hour for hey Monday to start. Finally, they came on. I don’t know like any of the words to their songs but I think I’m going to start listening to them more. During their set I caught one of their picks. Good stuff. Katie was jealous. =P their set wasn’t too crazy.

Until metro station…I used to love them so I knew all the words to their songs. So I was singing along but I’m not fond of them at ALL anymore. Ew. When trace took off his shirt I was like oh god. Put it back on. I have nothing else to say about them, lol.

Then it was all time low!! :D they did so well. I was right in front of jack so I was happy. Their set got crazy though. I was dying in there. But I really wanted to catch one of jack’s picks. I was close a few times but not close enough. Boohoo. =[ but when I heard weightless I died a little. Hearing it live made me love it 284024 times more. I recorded about 4 songs from their set, they’re on youtube.  during the set someone threw a huge ball on stage and jack tried to shove it in his shirt because he wanted to be pregnant. Haha. And then during the set a girl in the pit was like hurt or really hot or something so alex was like “here, let me throw you some water!” and then jack went to get water too, and got it to the girl first. Alex was like “ I wanted to be the hero!!” aha, it was too cute.

After all time low, Katie, me, and cassie got outta the pit because it was too crazy for me. So we went and found Ashley and jesse. We hung around them and then when cobra starship came on we just started dancing. Probably more fun than the pit, haha.  I enjoyed it. They did really well. As usual.

Then before fall out boy we went to get water and food and look at merch. Like alllll of the good atl merch was sold out already. Probably because there were 13,000 people at the venue, rofl. But then we went back down and chilled when fall out boy was on. We saw gaskarth by the sound board and whatnot so we creeped behind him. Hah. Lisa was there, too. During sugar, we’re goin’ down alex turned around and was in awe by everyone singing to it. It was really cute. I miss it. When he sang during grand theft autumn I was so proud. Dream come true for him.
and then I kept getting tweets from Jack saying that it was a dream come true watching fall out boy at their hometown show. I was just like awwww, what a cute boy. Haha.

After fob we got a tweet saying vinny vegas was by one of the merch booths so we went over there and talked to him. I didn’t say much, just listened. Haha. But I did tell him I was graduating the day I was seeing ‘em in Milwaukee. He said lets go to taco bell. Haha.

Then after we saw beth, fob’s merch girl, and vinny left. Then Ashley and jesse left. Then like 5 minutes later we left, haha because all time low couldn’t come out because of the cops. But apparently gabe and the cobras were out. Oopsies. We just listened to all time low the whole way home, missing the night we had been waiting for for months. It was a good time.
BND Round 2 this saturday in milwaukee! :D
