friday i was up around 9, the guys got up around 11. we were pretty hungry around 12 and hoodwink wasn't till 5. we decided we should go eat something. we ended up walking about 2 miles to this real sketchy italian deli, where i swore i gonna get shot. nothing looked appetizing, and we were ready to either leave or just go back to the gas station we first asked for some help at to get some junk food. luckily nate noticed there was a pizza place parallel to the deli, and it was pretty legit. i had me a slice of cheeeezzeee. we walked back to the hotel and just sat around watching tv. hannah convinced her dad to come pick us up and were off to their hotel for a short period, and then to hoodwink.
we got there and it was pretty chill, not a lot of people which seemed a tad weird. i saw rob before mae's set, and i went and tapped him on the shoulder. he gave me the biggest hug. it felt so nice haha. we watched mae play. the set was kinda weird though, i dunno if the speakers weren't just that great but the sound was bad. after that metro was playing on the stage next to them. trace was completely plastered, pretty funny. we got some men women and children, and saves the day after that.
now chiodos... i am adding them to one of my all time fav bands now. the pit was insane. nate and i were second row and the crowd was nuts. they are filming a dvd, and they put the camera right in our faces. if we do come out on the dvd we're gonna look like retards. there were so many crowd surfers. and craig owens came into the pit, nate and i were holding him up by his foot. seriously, one of my fav shows by far.
we stuck around for say anything after that. they were, good always are, but just didn't blow my mind. i still hear them though. hannah's dad picked us up again and gave us a lift back to the hotel. we ended up ordering a bunch of food, and fell asleep before razzi and christy got back from rhode island. that was just the beginning.
bamboozle day 1, started off good. i think i was the last one to wake up this time. except for the fact that i was awake at 6 am cause razzi was snoring unbelievably loud and i was having cramps. i didn't fall back asleep till around 7. (i'm starting to wonder if i give too many details on the trip haha). razzi drove us to the venue, and me like a dumbass, forgot my wallet with my ticket in the van. luckily after some persuasion, i got razzi to drive back. i was lost inside of bam, not lost as far as directions go, i just didn't know what bands were playing at what time and stage cause i didn't bring my list with me. finally after walking around for about an hr, maybe more, i borrowed someone's schedule and got to the stage mae was gonna be on.
mae was a lot better this time around, and rob kept asking me why i wasn't responding to his texts. its kinda hard to talk to him from the crowd while other bands are playing. after that i stayed in the pit for family force 5. they are amazing. they seriously blew my mind. i hope i can see them again, cause they were just so much fun! i think they came in a very close 2nd with chiodos as far as performances go.
chiodos was nuts. the crowd was throwing bottles, sweater, food around. anything they could get their hands on basically. this was all before they started to play mind you. once they started to play, it was all hell. the crowd was swaying every which direction. it was horrible. i decide that i should crowd surf my way out, and i was but then some girl in front of me fell, and i fell on top of her and a bunch of other people. i almost thought i was gonna die. but luckily they got us all up. this is where i lost my camera. i tried looking for it for about 10 mins, but i couldn't find it. then i figured, even if i found it, it was gonna be destroyed by that time. so i crowd surfed my way out again.
after watching chiodos finish i bought a fluff my boner shirt, which i absolutely love. i watched valencia's set from afar. they were pretty good. the guitarist smashed his guitar at the end of the set and threw it into the pit, you can only imagine the insanity that was going on there. i pushed my way in after that and got barricade for mw&c. they were so good. major dance partay. after that christy came over the barricade with me and we got to watch sing it loud. for my first time, i really enjoyed it and they were awesome. i caught two shirts that they were throwing into the crowd and gave one to christy.
we took a while trying to find patrick, but razzi found him on the other side of the meadowlands. it was so cold by this time, i just wanted to get in the van. we went to this diner, the service was horrible and the food was mediocre. after that razzi and i picked up denisse from the airport, came back to the hotel, and watched a little bit of tv before we hit the hay. my body is pretty much bruised and banged up. every time i would roll over in bed, i would find a new soft spot on my body. but getting to meet my twin in person is sweet. i'm sure we'll get to bond pretty much today. well then i'm off to enjoy some free continental breaky now.
