What a nightmare

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EzuIHjQYW2c

MSI cont'd

I epically fail at remembering or going back to finish my story,
Fail.
Most of the things that came out of Jimmy Urine's mouth that night were pretty Epic:
"If it weren't for me, you bitches would be at the Nickelback concert!"
"Your mom called (points to slut up on the balcony), she needs her outfit back so she can go to the Nickelback concert!"
"(somehow it ended up at) Hannah Montana's Bar Mitzvah." Crowd: "Boooo!!" Jimmy: "What are you all booing at? Hannah Montana or bar mitzvah? All of you are fucking racist!"
"You stole 20$ from your mom's purse to be here tonight!"
"All of you are a bunch of losers"

those were the memorable quotes.

Ok, now there's one more guy to mention: Gray shirt guy. He is different from red shirt guy. Grey shirt guy was fucking trashed, i smelled it in his breath (actually, most of the people there were trashed, and I heard there was a joint going around. I was sober, it made everything much better and memorable :]) Gray shirt guy was also sweaty as all hell, he was not as violent or a douche as red shirt guy, but he was leaning over some girl next to me who kept giving me the: "oh god, get this sweaty drunk guy off my back!" It was entertaining. 
So that was the concert. We met Dearestazazel after the concert and they gave us free pins. Sweet! I'm also in love with their album: Be Mine.

I hope another MSI concert is not too far into the future. I want to see those fuckers again.

So, about that MSI concert...


IT WAS AMAZING! EPIC! AHH!
So let's start at the very beginning...
Five of us left at 2pm to go to Rochester, NY. There were some fun moments in the car which included my roommate, who was the driver, trying to kill us more than once, she also hit the 95 mph barrier a few times, my friend who was the co-pilot made it so that she looked like a Frankenstein girl. That was epic since she spent most of the car ride looking over trying to distract the drivers. The driver's reactions varied from "omg, wtf?" to "HELLS YEAH! You're awesome!"
We arrived in Rochester around 4:30 pm or so (how my roomie made cut off 30 minutes off the usual 3 hour drive up there was a surprise to us all...) and we made it to the venue on time. We met a couple of people in line, and the line wasn't at all long when we got there! So I was super excited about it.
Now, let me get into the people we met in line. First there was a guy who was sitting on a window ledge who was wearing a System of a Down shirt (Awesomeness!) who was pretty cool and took our group picture:
We look amazing, I know. Anyway, see that little trailer in the back? that was hooked up to a van who belonged to http://www.myspace.com/dearestazazel"> Dearestazazel. We first talked to them and asked them if they were a band. They said no and told us that they were a traveling magic show. When we asked them to show us a trick, they epically failed. But regardless, they were super cool and super chill. We didn't know they were a band until they played up on the stage. It was awesome.
Enyways, there was also this one guy, lets call him pants guy:
He was high fiving everyone, getting people to sign his pants, and I thought he was on drugs, honestly. I saw him again inside the venue, front and center in front of the stage. Now, let me explain how he got there. We were fucked over yet again by ticketmaster. Why? When the doors at the venue open, they tell everyone that had will call tickets to line up on the left. All of the sudden, all the people who had their paper tickets go inside the venue. By this time, all five of us are pissed off as hell that we'd been fucked over yet again. So eventually we go in, about 10 minutes after the line on the right started moving. It turned out that Ticketmaster didn't even print out the tickets to give to the venue and we didn't even need tickets to go in. So what's the lesson? Never go with Ticketmaster, and if you do, curse at them. Over the phone.

We finally go in and we have to deal with the opening bands.http://www.myspace.com/iamthedreammusic">I am the Dream pretty much blew and apparantely got booed off stage in Allentown, PA the night before. Next was Dearestazazel who was pretty awesome. Check them out! My favorite song by them was "My Friends are In Love with Satan". Hail Satin! :P Next up was innerpartysystem
Here are some pics:

There are some many stories...
So there was this one guy with a red shirt who was generally being obnoxious, he was trying to shove his way up to the front near the barricade. He was kicking, shoving, etc. After a while, everyone up at the front had had enough of him and told the bouncers to fucking get rid of him. By this time, he was pretending to puke in order to get up to the front. The bouncer by then was looking for him and everyone pointed at him and yelled: "get him out! get him out!" So the bouncer got a hold of his legs, but the guy in the red shirt had an accomplice who was helping him out. So when the boucer had red shirt guy's legs, the accomplice had him arm locked. So what does the crowd do? beat the crap out of red guy's accomplice until he lets go of course! He eventually does and he got escorted out of the club. freaking sweet!
There were a bunch of crowd surfers who got sent over the barricade and sent to the back. Happens when you're a dumbass and crowd surf in a small venue :D 
So we had a girl with us who we invited, she passed out during one of the opening bands and she didn't get to see MSI which was sad, but there's an epic story to with it. My friend went with her to cool her off since she had a condition where she can't sweat properly and she needs to not be so close like we were at the concert (I was about 10 ft away from Jimmy Urine most of the time!). So my friend took her to the back of the venue, and somehow she managed to get all the way to the front where the rest of us where! It was amazing and I was dumb founded. She fought and bit and shoved. Alrighty, i've been writing about the concert for some time. I'll finish it up tomorrow. But let's put it this way: I can die happy because i'm still soooo stocked about that concert. Amazingness.

Peace out, light hos.

TOMORROW! YEY!

So the concert is tomorrow, yesterday was a good night, our roommate and I had our gays come over (our new freshman BFFs, en serio). It was talk like a pirate day yesterday so our floor basically went all out in dressing up and what not. My roommate and I, however, are a different story. We didn't do anything. Hahaha.

I still have to tell the Lyco crew the reason why I have to leave here. I don't think i'm ready to tell them why.

I think i'll be ready soon though. By then I think i'll be crying my eyes out.

i found this on facebook and didn't want to post it since I think I have one there

If your life was a movie, what would the soundtrack be?
So, here's how it works:
1. Open your library (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, iPod, etc)
2. Put it on shuffle
3. Press play
4. For every question, type the song that's playing
5. When you go to a new question, press the next button
6. Don't lie and try to pretend you're cool...
7. When you're finished tag some other people to do it!

2 days!!

3 days!

So there IS a happy ending to this story:
I ended up calling the venue where the concert was going to be at, and they told me to 1. Call up ticketmaster and tell them to cancel my other tickets that had been shipped to my house and 2. put another set of them on will call. One of my friends who's a regular concert goer told me if will call was an option, meaning i'd buy the tickets and they'd be waiting for us at the venue where the concert is. So kudos goes out to Water Street Music Hall in Rochester, NY. w00t!
Now, even MORE reasons why Ticketmaster is evil!
So ticketmaster actually handled the transaction smoothly and told me the will call thing was going to work out. Right before hanging up with the guy from customer service I gladly told him that Ticketmaster had given me the run around and that they were evil. Since they, in fact, did not inform me of the will call option which would've saved me not only money, but worries and an almost waterworks session.
Well now, that's the end of that.

3 more days! it's parent's weekend starting on friday. I'm glad my mom isn't coming up. I'd go insane and she'd stay until tuesday. How lame.
