day 2.

of push play.


haaaa wow.

soooo i got to the venue at like 3:30. it was like two minutes away from my house. alexa, stephanie, joslynn, katie, mary, (german foriegn exchange student whom's name i totally forgot.), and two other people were already there. sooo i got in line. like five minutes later emily (q) and jacquline show up. and then alix comes, and she was 'with' me, sooo she came to where i was, emily and jacquline didnt care, cause we're all friends and stuff. ;) haha. as more people came we just chilled. a LOT of people i knew came. hahaha. seriously i knew almost everyone at the show. it was cool. there wasn't a whole lot, once again. around like 4:45ish, the boys arrived to the venue, and seeing as the back entrance was the only entrance they came through it. hah, as they were going inside i got hugs from all of them. steve stopped to talk to me and the people around me for a few, i commented on him wearing the same hoodie that he wore last time, and we talked about how guys shouldn't wear vests, even though him and cj were both wearing them at that moment... then he had to go inside. it was reallyyyyyy cold. but we waited outside during their soundcheck, which was amazingly easy to hear through the door. and at 5:55 PM (i looked at my phone when we were inside.) we finally got in. everyone decided to sit down, cause it's just the michigan-style to do it that way. we didn't have a lot wait, probably like ten minutes then i look over my shoulder to see cj, derek, nick, and steve stepping over people to get onto the stage. hahaha, they came right past me, i think cj gave me a high five? weirdo. hahah. then they started. the first song was starlight addiction. amazing. then mary said to steve that she print screened her itunes counts because he didnt believe her when she said she had 10,000+ plays on that song. hahah, cj read the top played songs, and it was funny. they played a couple more, and they talked a lot to us. cj kept like shocking his lips on the mircophone. honestly, i think he enjoyed it, seeing as he was pretty much EATING the mic. hahaha. they played Dreamers, oh my favorite. after i said it was my favorite and i have the most play counts on that on my itunes. and cj was like, does it come anywhere near 10,000? and i'm like, noo, i listen to it on the cd. ;) and he's like, touché. hahah. they talked about how when they went to (kentucky? i dunno southern states.), that every single restraunt they went into someone played sweet home alabama, and some old drunk dude in the back would always go YEA! when that person would start the first few chords. then they attempted to play it. it was amusing. haha, i had alix's camera and recorded it. it should be on my youtube later. and nick and derek kept looking at me and whispering. i have paranoia, soooo i feel like they were talking about me, butttt what else would they be talking about if they're looking at me, smiling and laughing and stuff. :p whatever. hopefully it was good stuff, then i dont really care. :) uhm, they played Heart Attack, which is gonig to be on their new cd, and it's pretty much my favorite. i love it. and they talked about how they're playing new songs tomorrow! exciting. i convinced them to play umbrella, and it was funny, cause again i had alix's camera and was recording cause it's like my favorite cover they do, and during the song cj stood up and he sang into the camera, then high fived it.... lameeeooooo. ;) hahaha. they played a few more, and they did that cool thingy from the commerical where it's trying to be sexy and it's like "bah da da da dahhhhh." ahaha, it was funny. then they ended with Away Away, and for that we all stood up. the concert was amazing. and then when they finished cj was like, welllll this is awkward, we stop playing and you all stop screaming. hahaha. :) it was cute. then steve and cj went downstairs for meet and greet stuff. and me and alix went to go buy some merch. i bought their cd, again. cause i'm lame. :p ha. and nick got the wrapper off for me, cause im phyiscally unable to do stuff like that. then we went to the end of the meet and greet line. after a while of playing around (sitting on their chairs on stage, and bribing little girls for guitar picks.), it was our turn. emily and jacquline were in front of us so they went, then alix went. i was paprazzi for her, then we switched roles. the moment i went down there steve put his arms out for a hug. it was cute. and then nick was like "LAURA JEAN!" and i was like, heyyyy ! haha. and cj was like, "it's NORMA Jean. duhhh." and im like, uhhh sure. haha. i got hugs from 'em all. nick was sitting down and i was like, are you gunna stand up for a real hug? and he's like, no. then he stood up and gave me one. haha. and then i got one from cj and he's like, i think i just drew on your hood. and i'm like, ahhh did you? and he's like yea, i did and im like, ahh no, and he's like, haha no i didn't. and i was like, so what should i be for hallowen, and cj's like, i think you should be norma jean, and i'm like ohkay, i'll be her, and steve was like, do you even know who she is, and i'm like, yea she's marilyn, and he's like marilyn monroe. and i was like, yep. haha. sooooo i know who i'm being for halloween now. :) and then i got a hug from derek. then we went to go take a picture, and it was really awkward cause i couldnt put my arm around steve, but he had his around me.... so that like kinda was weird. and then cj was like, i just drew in your hood. and i'm like stoooppp :[ hahah. and then i was like, this is the second copy of your cd i have. and they're like, wow haha that's cool. yea. then i left the meet and greet. and we were told to go outside, so we did. and about 10 minutes or so later the boys came out, and i took a photo with nick and got a even more of a real hug, and then i saw cj like shivering and i went over to him and i was like you look so cold and he's like i am, and pulled me into a hug. and then a bunch of people came over and were like cj can we take a photo and he's like, can you take group photos we gotta leave soon, so alix, me, sam and cj took a photo, then shanya and becca took one with him, and he gave everyone a hug again then gave me another one, haha then he went over to their cars. and instantly the people started like talking/freaking and i'm like wow, your cool. ahah. and they deff heard everything they said cause they were like 20 feet away by the cars. and then as they/we were leaving they honked their horn and waved goodbye through the car windows. hahaha, freaks.
