Yesterday was kind of ridiculous.

The drive down to Blairsville was supposed to take 4.5 hours. It took us closer to 6 to get to the venue.

We left Buffalo around 11:15. The car overheated just before the PA welcome center. Fixed that though.

There was so much construction on every fucking highway. 76 was the worst. Once we finally got in the general Blairsville area we couldn't find the goddamned road to get to the venue. We asked directions though and finally got there.

Not long after going inside I saw Kevin. He gave me a hug and we talked a bit. He asked how the drive was and I told him how we got lost and it took forever. He was still holding me while we talked and it was adorable. He was like, "you got lost?! I GOT LOST! I told you this was the most random shitty place ever!"

One by one I saw the rest of the guys and they were all like "oh i heard you were here!" And they all asked how the drive was and couldn't believe how far I traveled for them. They all asked how the ferrets are and were sad when I told them Frankie died.

Duane kept asking me for cigarettes and kept trying to get me to buy beads haha.

The show was kind of lame, there weren't very many people there. There were more band guys than anyone else. And the venue sucked. But it was fun hanging out all night and hearing a couple new songs.

I bought a t-shirt and they legit had the worst selection of sizes ever. The sizes were weird and didn't look like what they sizes should be. Eventually I was just like i dont care which shirt just find me one that looks like it'll somewhat fit. Eventually Kevin found one for me. I put it in my bag and he walked away. Then Lou yelled at him and was like "what the hell you just walk away did she get her shirt?!" And we were just like chill she did. Haha.

Throughout the whole show Kevin kept hovering behind me anytime I was inside watching a band. It was creepy but cute.

I got a poster signed for Kara. Kevin was looking for a sharpie to sign it and I whipped one out of my bag, he was just like "shit you're always prepared." We then talked about Miley Cyrus and he did the hoedown throwdown dance. I told him I love him because of that. Everyone signed it and I said goodbye since I had such a long drive and I was already exhausted. Kevin and I hugged and said our goodbyes. Then he started changing his clothes right in front of Ri and I. I saw a nip and then had to block him from view with the poster when he dropped his pants.

I said goodbye to everyone else then waved goodbye to Kevin and he was just like "wait we need to hug". We hugged for like 5 minutes and as he held me I told him I didn't wanna go and he said he didn't want me to go. He told me to IM him and text him and get video chat so we can video chat and take our clothes off. I told him I don't know him well enough for that. HAHA.

It sucked saying goodbye. I love those guys so much. Especially Kevin, as soon as we met last summer we just clicked and immediately became great friends. I wish I could see him more.

The drive home wasn't too bad once we got passed the worst construction. We stopped once in PA to pee and there was a creepy man who followed us out of the rest stop. Other than that though we drove straight through, it took about 5 hours and one tank of gas. Not too bad.

I'm really hoping I make it to SUNY Canton on the 23rd so I can see them again before the summer is over.

anyone have the house of fools cd "live and learn"?

comment if you want me to add you.

The Matches/The Higher show last night at The Icon was amazing!

Met up with Kristen and her friend and twin sister there. YAY!

We were waiting in line to get in and Kara wasn't sure if she locked the car and I started getting paranoid about it so I told her to give me the keys and I would go check. So I was walking back to the car and Jon from The Matches walked out of the parking lot. He walked past me and then I realized who he was and I stopped and just looked at him. Then he stopped and looked at me. And he was like "hey" (the way he said it was so cute, kind of like when you run into a friend who you haven't seen in a while, except i have never met him before). Then I said "hi" and and he said "how are you?" and i said "im good, how are you?" and he said "i am fantastic" and i said "thats good" then we said bye and walked away. It was such a cute moment though!

The show was great. The Higher was amazing! I bought there CD and met Seth. Seth was really cool. During their set Kristen yelled "31 Floors" and some other stuff and he winked at her and blew her a kiss and said "its just you and me here baby". When we met him he was sooooo nice. He kept giving me hugs everytime I said something to him, like i said that they were amazing and what not. Then later after Kristen had left I showed him a text she sent me in which she told me to tell him that a song of theirs on the cd is great and he smiled and gave me a hug and told me to tell her "thanks".

I Am Ghost played second. They were horrible. I talked to Dennis during their set and he agreed. Then he told me that the Matches were playing next instead of last. I love seeing Dennis, he is a cool guy.

After I Am Ghost finished their set I went up to the side by the front and worked my way in for The Matches. I got really close but I ended up behind these two girls who were probably about fifteen. They were nice at first but then during the Matches set they started dancing and being obnoxious nad eventually I got really tired of it because the one girl kept bumping into me and be rude. And then she was getting mad because I was getting pushed into her and she kept pushing me back and she kept elbowing this other guy next to me. Apparently we were in her space and she didn't like it. I didn't want to say anything and cause trouble so I just kept pushing her back. But if she wasn't a fucking obnoxious teenie bopper maybe she would realize that is how these shows are, everybody is packed in and pretty much on top of each other. If she doesn't like that then she should stick to going to Hillary Duff concerts.

Overall The Matches were great though. I met Shawn and Jon after their set. They were both very nice and very sweaty. When I talked to Jon I asked for a picture and as we went to hug for the picture he said "sorry im kind of wet" and i said "oh, that is alright". They were great though. I can't wait to see them and the Higher again.

On the way out I said goodbye to Dennis. And he said it was a good time to leave cus the next band (Escape the Fate) weren't good at all and he asked if I was going to be the Anberlin show the next night (wednesday) and I said no I'm going to MC Lars in Rochester. Then I saw Jeremy outside. He asked if he was going to see me tomorrow night, I thought he was talking about the Anberlin show bc that is what Dennis had just mentioned to me (even though I knew Jeremy was going to be at MC Lars). So I said "no, im seeing mc lars tomorrow" And he said "that's what I'm talking about, McLars!" And I said "oh yeah, well then yeah I'll see you tomorrow." Jeremy is a cool guy too, I love seeing him at shows!

Then Kara and I went to Jim's Steakout, got our food and got mildly lost on the way home again. End story.
