BND May 9th, ftw :) Meghan (meghanxatl)

so i woke up at about 8 on saturday morning, hoping that friday night’s rain would’ve canceled my softball games. unforunately it didnt rain enough to cancel them, so my mom said i at least had to play one of my games, which was at 11am. so i played my game, got done at about 12:45, and got home at about 1. i ate lunch and rushed to get ready and get my stuff together. then i went to my friends house at about 2 and we left for allstate at about 2:35. i was pretty stressed out by this time to say the least. rofl. but then we blasted ATL in the car the whole ride up there.

we got there at about 3:45 and we went to the box office, hoping to get our m&g stuff. the people at the box office told us to go to this press room to go get them. so we walked over there and the door was locked. soo we thought we’d ask this security guard if he knew where we were supposed to go. BIG MISTAKE. he started flipping out on my mom telling her that she didnt read the email even though she did and that my mom was arguing with him when all she did was ask a simple question. he started calling her a kid and shit because she supposebly didnt read the email all the way through. biggest asshole ive ever met in my entire life. so after that, we walked across the street back to stand outside the box office and wait. while i was crossing the street i see cassie, megan, katie, and katie run over. it was so good to see them :) so we all stood outside of the box office building for about 15 mins. cassie had a huge bag of peppermints and we all took some to throw at trace on stage since horse like peppermints. hahaha. :D then we started going back and forth across the street trying to figure out where to go. we had to ask so many people what they were in line for. finally after walking across the street & back about 92384792 times we finally figured out where we had to go. so me, my friend sam, cassie, megan, katie, ashley, and jesse all stood outside the doors for about 15 minutes or so. then flyzik finally came out and got us so we went inside, got our GA wristbands and then checked with the people to get our m&g wristbands. i was supposed to have 4 wristbands, 2 extra for megan & cassie, but they ended up only giving me 2. thankfully ashley had an extra wristband to give to megan, but cassie didnt have one. we were all standing in a line waiting to go down to the floor and cassie was freaking out. i wouldve been too. we didnt even know what to do because she was already in the venue but couldnt go anywhere since she didnt have m&g. but then we all started walking down to the floor. so cassie just started walking with us. they didnt even check m&g wristbands or anything, so cassie pretty much snuck into the m&g. it was kinda cool :)

M&G

so we were down on the floor anxiously awaiting for ATL to come out. but of course, metro had to come out first. they came on a golf cart. all the hustlers naaaayed at trace while the metro girls started screaming :P the metro m&g was so strict. they all had to stand in a line while the band members just went around. :P theeen ATL came walking out :) me, cassie, and sam went up to alex first. i had him sign my shoe & i gave him his halls vitamin c drops & he really seemed to appreciate it. when we were taking a picture he was like “aw, i dont wanna get you sick!” then i told him it was fine that im pretty much already sick right now. then he hoped i felt better soon & i told him the same. next we went to rian and me & cassie both got him little yankee candles. he seemed to like them alot. he signed my shoe and we got a picture. didnt have much time to talk with him really. :/ next i went to zack. i gave him his hot chocolate. rofl i probably sounded so stupid because i was like “i got you hot chocolate! i heard you liked it a lot. but im gonna feel really stupid if you dont like hot chocolate.” bahaha. but he said he loves hot chocolate & that it made him feel like a little kid. i was like awwww :) he wrote is name in huge letters and underlines so nobody would take it. lol. then he signed my shoe, got a picture, and went off to jack. i got to jack and gave him his easy mac. he said it was awesome and he told me he loved me. then he signed my shoe and we got a picture. by this time, m&g was already over. fastest 25 minutes of my life. i didnt even get to talk to alex about singing happy birthday to me or my milwaukee plan because he left m&g early. then me & cassie ran to the crowd. we got 2nd/3rd ‘row.’ none of the hustlers got barricade sadly because of all the FOB early entry. me, cassie, megan, & katie all attempted to take crowd pictures until hey monday’s set started. hahah, it was fun.

HEY MONDAY

 their set was SO good. 2nd time seeing them live. i really enjoyed it. i pretty much knew all of the words so i sang along the whole time. i almost caught one of their pics, but the girl in front of me grab it before it got to me.

METRO STATION

they suck so much live. my mom said that they were the worst band that shes ever heard live. EVER. and shes been to many concerts. ngl, i actually somewhat had fun when they played control just because i like that song. i almost threw up in my mouth when trace cyrus took his shirt off. i was like EW PUT THAT BACK ON. bleeeh. there was this girl by me in the crowd who had trace written on her boob. ew. then this one guy was like YOU SUCK BUT CAN I BANG YOUR SISTER?! bahah. i laughed.

ALL TIME LOW!

ahh this was love. in front of jack. kinda in between him & alex. i almost cried when they started playing weightless because i was so happy. alex said he wanted to take off everyones clothes. someone threw a ball on stage and tried stuffing it down his shirt cause he wanted to be pregnant. lol. then alex wanted to give water to this girl about ready to pass out in the pit, but jack beat him to it so alex was like “I WANTED TO BE THE HERO!” rofl. then at the end of dear maria, jack crowd dove as usual and instead of singing “theres a story at the bottom of this bottle”, alex sang “theres a story at the bottom of chicagooooo.” :) great set. went by way too fast. but i got some really good pictures. <3 

COBRA STARSHIP

first time seeing them live, and i was really impressed. gabe has such good stage presence. they played hollaback boy. and sadly i was one of the few people singing along to their new song. i had a really good time except for this 45 year old guy elbowing me in the face and resting his arm on my head. asshole. i told get to gtfo me. after their set, i had to get out of the pit. i wanted to be close for at least one of FOBs songs, but i was so close to dehydrating. so i got out of the pit, found my mom almost instantly and went and got a huge cup of water. i chugged the whole thing. then i stood in line to get merch and saw ashley, megan, katie, and jesse. i ate some of jesses popcorn. haha, then i got my merch and stood in the back for FOBs set.

FALL OUT BOY

 i had a great time during their set. ive gained so much respect for them after this night. me and my friends sam and megan just jumped around and dance & sang. little did i know that alex and jack were watching them not far from where we were. i had a proud mommy moment when alex played grand theft autumn with FOB. i loved his suspenders that he had on. FOBs set was over, and we had to leave asap cause i had to get up at 5 the next morning and it was already past 11.

on the drive home, we stopped at the o’hare oasis for food, talked about our pit experiences, and had an ATL sing a long with no music. it was about 12:45 when i got home. didnt fall asleep until about 1:35 or so. then i had to get up at 5 the next morning. i was so tired but that night was totally worth it. :)
