happy halloween.

day 3.. oh my god.


soooo i had school, which sucked, and on fridays i have voice lessons, so i got home at around 4, and i put on my costume and got makeup and hair and everything and that took like an hour and a half. :[. so i left around 5, and got there at 5:45 ish. i got into line with Emily and Jacquline, that was cool. ha, as i said yesterday, i was dressed up as Norma Jean, or Marilyn Monreo, the early years, before she changed her name. we got let in at 6, exactly, and i got front row, again. ha, this is a habit that i really enjoy. (: kay, so phil bensen was up first. it was amazing, i was SOOOO glad he came to michigan, this was his first show here, ever, so that was really cool to be at it as well. he played only like four songs or so, so that kinda sucked. but yea. he was really amazing, and i really want to see him again. i've been a fan of him for about 2 years now. as he was playing whiv was setting up for going up second. like five minutes after phil finished what happened in vegas went on. they played 2 songs, and then they were told they had to be done to fit in everyone else, which really sucked. so they played their third song acousticly, and then got off. after that it was the love willows. i wasn't to fond of them, so alix and i left the area. (i left my purse on the stage, so that i could get my spot back later.) we went over and talked to the boys of vegas. first billy. just randomly., i dont really even remember what it was about, just like, the concert. haha. second aaron. he asked me when we were going to find a day to record, and i had no idea, so i gave him my number and my dad's number, (i'll tell you guys more about this later.) and then alix took a picture and i took one. then we talked to ron. and the steve. billy was changing, sooo we didn't bug him. but we talked to his brother dylan. he's pretty cool. after a while we went to the other side of the back area and met phil bensen. he was SOOOO cool. it was my first time meeting him, but he was really nice, and really cool. we chatted about a bunch of stuff, and took a bunch of pictures. :) my dad's possibly booking him sometime, so i got the information for that kinda stuff. i bought some push play merch, so i could get a wrist band for meet and greet. thennnnnnnnn, i started hearing screams of excitement and realized push play was on stage. sooo i headed back over to the area, and about 3/4th of the way through the first song i tapped on the girls shoulders who had taken my spot and asked for it back, which they let me, suprisingly. hahaha. the concert was really great. they did so incredible. cj literally grabbed my hand about 50 times. like, not even overreating. hahah. it was cool. and i was in front of nick (i swear, every single push play show i'm in front of him.), he kept looking at me and smiling and then he held my hand for a little bit. cj was shirtless. it was amazing. he's so fucking skinny. ha. steve took off his shirt about halfway into it. they played all my favorites. it was amazing. i think it was like the song after umbrella, or maybe umbrella, and steve through his hat across the stage (he was like, slash or something.) and it landed like right next to my purse so i grabbed it and put it on for the rest of the song. after he came over to the side i was on and asked for it back, and half willingly i gave it to him, and then into the mic he said "you can have it back after the show." (: and like a bunch of people gave me like evil stares and this little girl next to me was like, oh my gosh your sooooooo lucky. :p ew die. hah. and pretty much yea, it was just fabolous, they ended with Away Away, as usual, and then before steve got off the stage he gave me his hat. =] (which i have on my head currently.) after they got off, the security guards were like, you HAVE to leave. sooo everyone went outside. and see me, i didnt have a coat, so i pretty much started to freeze. ha, me, alix, and a few others hung around what happened in vegas while the line for meet and greet for push play started to die down. then we ventured into the line. it was an extremely short meet and greet. but it was cute, cause the second cj/steve saw me they said "NORMA JEAN." ;) hahaha. it was cute. we took a group photo of steve, me, cj, alix, nick and derek, and then i gave 'em all hugs and we had to 'go.' so we went behind them a few yards. they finished up their meet and greet, and we found mr. phil bensen, who had promised us a mini acoustic show. so about 15 or so of us sat around while he played some songs. it was really cute. he played paper airplanes (which i asked for), i think it's called like 'Not this time LA' or something, and this other one called like 'love song' or something. it was really cute, he's only played it once in concert, so it was cool. =] then these stupid security guards wanted us to leave, sooo we took a few more photos then headed out.


ah, very good show, very cool stuff. kinda sad i didnt get to talk to the boys a whole lot, buttttt it was really nice. this week was hella fun, i'm so glad i went to the shows. :)

& nowww, another concert tomorrow. The Arrival, Lets Get It, and So Let Go! :) ahhh, i'm going concert crazy. :p
