BND May 16, 2009; Milwaukee, WI - megan! [jbkat_Ftw3]

First of all, this show was 23085982352 times better than Chicago. That’s a fact.

As most of you know, I graduated high school the same day as this show. My graduation started at 1 PM and I was freaaaking out that I wouldn’t make it to my meet and greet. It ended up ending at about 2:30 and then I stuck around to take pictures with my friends and to chat with them and whatnot. I ended up leaving the school at about 3:10 and I had to get home change, eat, and leave by 3:30 in order for me to have any sort of chance to make it to Milwaukee by 4:15. I was texting Ashley like the whole time making sure she told Flyzik to wait for me if he got there before I did, haha. I ended up getting there at about 4:20-4:25. Good thing Flyzik was not on time again, haha. I got my wristband and greeted my hustlers. :) We didn’t end up getting taken in till about 4:45 so it didn’t even matter, haha. So…

Meet and greet.
This was where alllll the fun begin.
It was in this really little area but it was so worth it. If I didn’t make it to this, I woulda criiiied. Anyways, the first person I chatted with was Zack. He was actually chatting with me. I told him how I graduated that day and I had him sign my copied diploma. He told me I was finally free and then he asked if I was going to college. And I was like yeah, of course, and he’s like “oh, well you’re not free then, I’M free though!” and then he was like “well, not really” and then he asked Flyzik when his laundry would be in, rofl. haha. It was cute. I got a picture, and then I moved on to Alex. I gave him my diploma also, and I talked to him about that a little bit. I took my own picture, and then Ashley chatted with him a little about Bamboozle and how he hopes they’ll get to play it again next year. I’ll definitely be there for that if they do. :) Well, no matter what, I’ll be there. Haha. Then Ashley and I went to Jack. While we were waiting to chat with him we were rubbing his back, haha. He kept giving us these cute, funny looks during it. But then he told us that it felt good, so we didn’t stop until it was our turn to talk to him, rofl. Also, some girl asked him to sign their Band of the Year AP Mag and he’s like “it’s really hard to sign this because it’s so dark” so i was like “just sign the maine’s side!”. I didn’t think he heard me, but he turned around and gave me this ‘evil’ glare. and I was like “hahaha sorry!” and he’s like “:D Nah, I’m just kiddin’! :D” When it was our turn, Ashley chatted with him first and gave him the card Theresa made him for his birthday. It had the whole Lost theme going on, it was cute. When he opened it his eyes got REALLY wide and he was like “holy shit!” when he saw all the messages the hustlers wrote for him. It was really adorable<3. Then Ashley took two pictures. One cute, one funny. The funny one was hilarious because he was picking his nose during it and I was laughing too hard so I made Ashley laugh and she ended up geeking out about it, so she didn’t really make a face, it was cute tho. hahaha. :) Then it was MY turn!! Yay. Love Jack. After he looked at me, the first thing he said to me was “HEYY! :) I know you! I remember meeting you!” I was like “O_O hell yea!” I probably had the hugest eyes ever after that, omg. haha. So, I had him sign my diploma, that was cute. I gave him like 28402 hugs during that time. haha. We took two pictures, too. One was a cute one. And for the second picture I was like “Can I pleaseee wear your awesome Sox hat in it?” [mind you, i kept saying I LOVE YOUR HAT like every 5 seconds, rofl.] Plus, earlier while I was waiting by him this chick kept trying to pull of his hat and he wouldn’t let her and he’s like “I HAVE HAT HAIR. stop!” And then she was all “URGHHH” I was like haha, sucka. lol. But then I asked him and I was like “Prettty please. :)” And then he was like “Alright, but only because you’re wearing a JAGK shirt! :)” And he took off his hat and shook out his hair and put it on my head. I was like hell yeah, this is epic. And we took our picture and I reluctantly gave back his hat. haha. I hugged him again and walked away. I went to Rian. He was off in his own little corner. I gave him my diploma, too and he signed it. We talked about college again. I got my picture, and then walked over to Flyzik for a second. I looked at my phone and saw it was 5:15. We got until 5:25 with them. I was like WOW, we have a lot of time left! I tried to start a chant saying “TWITPIC TWITPIC TWITPIC TWITPIC” They said it was too dark and there wasn’t enough time. I was really upset. I wanted one of those!! So instead, we made our rounds again and decided to take group pictures with a few of them. First we wetnt to Jack. I was like long time no see! Too cute. Ashley and I took a group picture with him. He made the cutest face, ever. Then we went to Alex, and also took a picture. We made our way back to Flyzik where we took a picture. I gave him my diploma to sign and he was like “what if colleges need to see this?” I was like “it’s not the real thing, silly. I just took a copy!” haha. The boys had to leave and then it was a free for all for spots in the pit.

The security guards made everyone sit down in the pit before they were allowed to run for barricade. It was weird. I immediately went to the merch and was the first person to buy any, haha. I was afraid they were going to run out again like Allstate.

Hey Monday
We just sat on the floor in the back for them just because we’re not that interested in them. It wasn’t too bad, we just chilled out.

Metro Station
Not interested in at all. I just stood around the whole time. It was lame. I have nothing to say about it, haha. Trace Cyrus just creeped me out.

All Time Low
Weirdest set ever. They played their first song, Six Feet Under the Stars, as usual. And then after Alex had to get off stage. The rest of the boys thought he was puking, so that’s what the crowd thought. During his time off Jack was like “let’s play dammit!” So he got the crowd chanting “MATT MATT MATT” and then Flyzik came out on stage and the band played a cover of Dammit. I recorded it, it was amazing. Then after that Jack was like “can any of you sing?” and then Jack picked a random guy out of the crowd to come on stage. They ended up playing a portion of Sugar, We’re Goin’ Down. I recorded that also. After that Alex was saying from backstage “this is so awkward!” No one knew what was going on. Alex eventually came back and they played Weightless [which I called Haley during. :)], Jasey Rae, The Beach, and Dear Maria. They had to take out Coffeeshop Soundtrack, my favorite song! =[ Either way, it was still an awesome set. :) Eventually that night Alex tweeted that he had an anxiety attack during their set. =/ Aw, poor boy.

Cobra Starship
Ashley and I had an ultimate dance party during their set. It was too much fun, omg. It’s so much more fun in the back when you’re dancing around instead of being sandwiched in the middle of the pit, rofl. They blew it out of the park, as usual. I cannot wait for their cd or to see them again! :)

Fall Out Boy
We watched a total of like 2 songs of their set. Haha. We immediately left during and went to the merch. We were just chilling there until I saw Gabe walk by. I immediately grabbed Ashley and was like “come on!” and we got in line to meet him. I was lucky I saw him when I did because the line got soooooo long and we were like within the first 10 people, it was awesome. We met him. He was probably one of the sweetest people I talked to that night. He was soo excited about me graduating, haha. He signed my diploma [made me hold his drink during it, haha] Jesse was like ”i feel like I’m holding apple juice!” and he’s like “oh, yeah, it’s apple juice” haha =P we talked about what I wanted to do. I was like “computer engineering!” he’s like “ohh, fancy schmancy!” haha. He was cute. We took a picture with my diploma. Then we went right over to Suarez. He had like 5 people by him while Gabe had like 40, rofl. Suarez was cute. I was expecting him to remember me, but he didn’t. haha. We’ve only chatted on myspace, haha. Ater that we saw Rian by the merch and he ended up starting to sell some haha, just because it was getting crowded since it was nearing the end of FOB’s set. No one even realized he was in a band, I could tell. Or else the ones that did notice were like ultimately FREAKING out. It was soooo funny. We literally stayed by merch until everrrrryone was gone. Ashley wanted to say by to Vinny Vegas so we stuck around. :) It was fun though.

Then we went outside and I saw a big mob of people by ATL’s bus waiting for them, haha. I was like Oh, damn, with our luck they won’t even come out! Until I heard a girl run over to her friends and be like “guys! Jack is over there!” That triggered my feet. Haha. I ran over there and Ashley/Jesse followed. When we got there they ended up leaving so I was there by myself until my parents got there. :) I didn’t mind though because I was seeing Jack again. I ran by him and the group of people around him and he saw me and kept making these cute faces at me. I could tell he recognized me from the meet and greet before. :) I got to him and was like can you sign my shirt? And I gave him my silver sharpie so he could sign on the black of my JAGK shirt. He started to and was like “nah, that looks bad” so he used his black marker to sign the ‘J’ part of my shirt. He signed his usual JBSTAR + smiley face, and then underneath it wrote “<3 you!” :D Made me happy, I really hope it doesn’t fade off the shirt. It makes it 239523 times better. Then we talked about how AWESOME his hats always are. This time it was a WHITE white sox hat. He said this was the first time he wore it and that when he put it on Matt was like “That’s a keeper!” I was like “I completely agree, I love it” I decided I’m going to go buy the black white sox hat. I realllly like it. Then, I was like “So what kind of face are we going to make in this picture?” He’s like “Like I’m going to barf on you!” And he turned his head to mine and I could feel him breathing on me, and his nose like squished against my cheek. I swore that he was going to give me a kiss on the cheek, rofl, but he didn’t. I guess that’s what everyone thought around me, too. Haha. So after that I left him and went back by Rian. I chatted with these girls that I see at everrry show in Milwaukee, haha. And then got a picture with Rian, and then Alex came out! I was like oh great! I can get all 4 of them again! But right when it was my turn, he had to go. =/ And by then Zack had left too, So I only got Rian + Jack. But it was okay. I didn’t mind one bit. I called my parents to see if they were there yet and they were. I got in the car and left. I was instantly bummed because I knew that was the last time I would see them for months. But honestly, I can say it was my best experience with All Time Low ever. I just hope it gets better every time from now on. :)

I hope I didn’t leave anything out! Hahaha.
