Don't leave a voicemail, seriously.

This is sad: the highlight was the catering.

The kids at the Cobra show were INSANE. I can't remember being 14, but I'm pretty sure I would have been intimidated by a grown up telling me off at a concert. The kids today, fr rl.

Gabe never disappoints. Apparently the crowd mauled him and tried to steal a bracelet off his arm but I missed that--I must have been yelling at a kid.

I LOVE Ryland so very much. I think he's tops. The entire band is sort of made of rainbows, to be honest. It's like the universe said to itself "you know, I've been holding back, but I think it's time to bring back perfection!" Gabe had a whole "witty" stage banter spiel about his purple jeans. He was also wearing that ott "because I'm gabe saporta" t-shirt, but no pink vampire fangs. There didn't seem like there was a pit this time, but I could have just missed it as I was trying not to pay attention to the crowd too much since I was scared there were fbr_t signs and red jeans as far as the eye could see. Gabe's voice was shredded. I guess they'll take off just long enough for his voice to heal and go back on the road?

The most surprising turn of events at this date was: Hot Topic is launching a music website and the people who work for it are kind of awesome? And one of them claimed to be Suarez's gf? I lolled. Jenn scoffed. I then lolled and scoffed. She was cute (Jenn hated her). Aside from this Suarez-pretender, I liked the Hot Topic people. I'm pretty friendly, though, maybe they sucked and I didn't notice.

The event was crammed into a much smaller space than Pomona which lead to congestion, but the stages were closer together, which was good. Idk, I think I just have no tolerance maybe. Everyone was on top of each other and...oh, right, it was a music festival! People who stop and cluster in traffic areas need to fucking die. I mean, how hard is it to step to the side? How stupid are you for standing right in the middle of traffic? God, I hate those people. If you do this, I hate you, too.

In case you ever wondered, William Beckett looks confused a lot. It's his normal expression, I guess. TAI's set was at like 11 something, so we missed it. Why does this shit start so early? It's rock and roll, not banking.

Maybe next year we'll skip Warped? Idk, it's almost worth it for random conversations w/ Disashi and shit but not for being sweated on by 15 yr olds from fbr_t.

But like I said, the catering is great. The lolz at that Germs show also didn't suck. Hm, I guess what I like best about these big shows is talking to strangers about their opinions on whatever random act is playing. The music is sort of secondary to me contrasted with hearing the opinions of poeple who don't feel inhibited by social stricture in voicing their opinions on Rise Against or three dollar bottles of water or the one inch pin I'm wearing (I lost my Umbrella Academy pin yesterday which really annoys me).

We made the critical error of not bringing cash w/ us (for a variety of reasons that lead to the normal clusterfuck that is our lives) and this was the one show w/out a portable ATM machine. Hahaha, thanks god, I see you fucking w/ me again! We eventually solved this problem. I'm sort of amused, too, that Warped claims to be "green" and they have a billion canned and plastic bottled drinks backstage. There must be an alternative to that--like drink boxes or pouches made or recycled materials? This must exist, and if not, hey, I've got a great business idea for you! The scheme to get kids to pick up bottles and cans is genius, though (for those of you sane enough to not know everything there is to know about Warped, the promoters have this contest where if kids pick up bottles and cans at the venues, they are entered in this contest to go on vacation in the Caribbean w/ some band--I'm not sure if they ever said what band). Under the guise of being "green" they get people who PAID TO BE THERE to also be their unpaid cleaning crew. Whoever cooked that up is an evil genius. I drank more soda yesterday than I usually do in a year, I think. Even if it's "natural," diet soda tastes gross.

(my co-worker just called me to make sure I got this insane email he sent me. yes, I got it, back the fuck off!)

On the one hand, Cobra Starship; on the other, I hate teenagers. I think I liked the Bamboozle set up much better than the Warped one. (Or it could just be that I'm so into MCR the set up was worth it to see them? Idk, hard to say since I'm completely stupid for them.) Warped is over for this year, the one guy from Pierce the Veil wins at bad hair, I need new socks because I wore ones that kept falling down, everyone on Warped is really nice (and the best place to meet people is in the line for food, trust me on that).

Today on mcrficfinder theater:

it was on fandomination.net and the main pairing was mikey/twin sister. the plot was that people were turning into zombies or being "infected" so gerard packs up his 2 siblings, frank and the girls best friend and they go to a cabin in the mountains to wait it out. then ray and bob show up and create mayhem and "make" gerard go back to drugs and confess a family secret to do with him and his little sister. it was a chapter fic about 15 chapters and really good. any help or a point in the right direction would be appreciated =)

EDIT: i found it it's called Be Careful, They Bite.

1. No one answered this, the person found the fic themselves. Shouldn't that mean you delete this or at least acknowledge you were perhaps too hasty in making the public request?

2. I wonder what this FAMILY SECRET could be!!!! Do you think it's incestuous? It could be that Gerard once stole some candy from her school fund raising drive candy box. Do you think that's likely?

3. Why not just turn Mikey into a girl instead of giving him a twin sister? Did the author not want to go TOO FAR with their ott Waycest fic? (I admit I'm biased since I myself made Mikey into a girl to write an ott Waycest fic...a fic I forgot I wrote until Jenn reminded me.) Why a TWIN sister? That's an interesting choice.

4. When running from zombies, Gerard takes: Frank and some plurality of girls. I am now wondering if Mikey might be a girl. Is Mikey a girl in this story? Who would the other girl be if not? They all get to bring their friends to the cabin in the woods! Awesome. There're enough people to play Scatagories!

5. Do the zombies only live in high population density locations? That's good, they'll get all the Rangers fans.

6. There's cocaine in the woods?

7. Why would BOB AND RAY do any of that? Shouldn't the author have cast Bert in this role? Isn't that what Bert's job is in MCR, to be the douchebag? Maybe, alternatively, it could have been Pete who first dumps Mikey and then goes on to up that stakes by making a blog post all about Gerard's incestuous relationship with his sister. Instead of peen pics, he posts pics of Gerard with his hand down his sister's top--oh, I forgot we pretend Pete didn't post those pics himself, my bad. I don't approve of vilifying Bob. Lay off Bob, ok? Bob is perfect, claims to the contrary will buy you a first class ticket on the FUCK OFF AND DIE bus.

8. What mountains do you suppose this is set in? The Poconos? That seems like the most "mountainy" place Gerard would come up with as a teenager.

9. I really hope Gerard's read this one in RL. He read it and was also confused about the vilification of Bob and Ray. He then went so far as to write a story where Bob and Ray are super badass ninjas who shoot fire from their eyes and read Camus. Frank said that Camus thing was ott because it was Mary Suing, and Gerard had a whole crisis over his Mary Suing himself as his bandmates and changes it to reading the sports section of the newspaper.

I'm sort of vaguely disappointed I didn't make this list... Dang, I need to bring my A game!

So, The Hills, I guess we're watching that now. (Not by choice. Opinions? I hate Lo. Is that a spoiler? It's just my opinion. Oh, who am I kidding? I hate them all.)
