I was so happy that it was already starting
I got right in front of center stage. and the wait while they set up and junk was nice. They had a real lovely playlist.
Like regina spektor, sufjan stevens, the beatles, and stars. My phone was out of battery by then. It kept turning off. It was so lame. because
I wanted to text Julia about everything but I couldn't. Pattie Casey was absolutely amazing. He opened first and I swear I couldn't get my eyes
off of him one bit. He was so into his music and as was I. He has this southern irish accent so it made me chucklle a bit. He said hes enjoying Texas.
Wild Sweet Orange were next. Lead singer was drunk as shit. but he sung amazing. I remember I got goosebumps when he sung about sunrises and leaving.
"So when you go, tell me where are you going
'Cause there's no place you can run to, forget all your longing
So forget where you're going"
I fell in love.
augustana was absolutely terrific. because i think they sung there heart out. and there just so damn good live. My favorite part was when they sung meet you there
and sunday best. and hey now and dust hahaha jeez, those boys know how to rock. I promise I didn't sing along to every single word. Just the times where I felt I needed too. SHOW
WAS AMAZING. and anyone thats seen them knows what I'm talking about.
anyway
show ended and one of the guys that worked at the venue that had hung out with us for like three hours talking with us, got me Dan's pick from on stage. I still can't believe he didn't give me the setlist.
I'm so upset with him. I thought we were cool. but whatever. I still had dans pick. so me and Jessica left. and we bought merch and stufff and I saw pattie casey and the boys from WSO and I really wanted to
talk with them but it was crowded so we left the venue and walked to the corner store and bought us a drink. We went back and sat in front of Augustana's tour bus with a couple of other fans. It was nice because it was
late and hardly any one was around and we felt like a community so as Dan called it. lol he came out of the venue and promised us he would come back in ten mins because he was helping
move around stuff. I remember telling him to keep his promise and he was like I most certainly will. and by then John came out of the bus and we crowded around him haha and he just talked to each of us and signed our stuff and took pictures with us
I talked to himm. About the show and Julia and counting crows. and a bunch of random stuff like Jessica's flashlight service. LOL. she had this real sweet flashlight and while he was sighning the other fans, we were around just listening and laughing while we waited for Dan to come back.
Oh and when I told John about Julia. I told him that we were upset that he didn't include her in the video blog and he started pointing his fingers at chase and said he was the one who took care of all of that so me and chase were going at it. He told me to tell JUlia that next time, ask him
you want to be in the blog and also to wear a shirt reading "I love Chase" LOL and yeah we laughed and he joked mostly about our weather and stuff haha him and John. Oh yeah john said my name was like super long haha and he used my back to sign his name. and spelled my name out. John: "gea" Me:"NOOO, Jea" John: "Thats what I meant hahaha" he's so nice. so while we waited this bum
started asking me and jessica for money and then he asked John for money and we were like no. Dan wasn't lying when He said he was gonna come back. He said where would I go, you guys are right in front of our tour bus! lol a few of us crowded around him. and jessica took her flashlight out haha. and this girl started asking him these questions like about the song reasons and we were listening
to what he was saying about it. He said it was a "demo" that they love trying out and that it was definitely gonna be in there next album which would probably be out in a few years. like three or two. =)) After dan signed my stuff he complimented me on my awesome fabric marker. then I mentioned Julia because I promised her I would do that. and he was like whos julia? and I was like shes a big fan from seattle and he was like "ohhh, you know julia??" and I was like "she's my pen pal" and he looked up and smiled. and he asked me for my name, and I told him "Jeannette" and he was like Jeannette? and i smiled and said yeah and he took his hand out and
then shook my hand real tight. and said Thank you so much. and then before that I mentioned counting crows to him too and he asked me if I was going and was like I dont think I want to miss it for the world. well I was thinking it. and he said "I'll see you there" and dangjadghjab yeah. I asked him about chris and if he was hiding and told me he was still inside and was gonna be out in a few so I just looked at
the other fans get there stuff signed and just watched and smiled. then I remember Jessica said something about someone coming out but I dont know what I was thinking. I think i was looking at John talk haha and then I look the other way where dan was and I see Jared there. and i was like JARED! and jessica was like I told you like a long time ago and i was like asjkodghadgjh
so I walked his way where dan was and he was already signing stuff and I was kinda nervous because last October he was kind of cold. and so I felt my knees start to quake. and I smiled and he smiled and I asked him if he could sign my stuff and he had a pen and i was like uh heres my sharpie/fabric marker and he was like thankss and he signed my stuff and then I talked to him about how I the last time I spoke to him was in October and
he was like "Yeah yeah when we opened for dashboard!" and was like YES!! and he laughed and I told him that they seriously needed to tour with them real soon and he was like "actuallllly we might again" and i was like NO WAY and i said "that would be HANDS DOWN, AWESOME" and he laughed hard and said "haha i like that, that was cool" and i said "seriously those guys are great." and I told him about counting crows and that he was real excited about that. and I told
him I was gonna make it and he was nice about it. OMG. AND THEN I TOLD HIM while he was signing some stuff I said "Jared, the asain sensation" and he laughedddddd and he said "Half asain" and was like "ohhh yeah!" while he was taking a picture lol. and he still had my sharpie/fabric marcker. and I had the top and he tapped me and said "here's your marker" and he was like i dont know where the top is and I looked at him and showed it to him and he smiled real big and was like "nicee" =) and so then I just left him alone. I think i was hogging him from the other fans. baha
then we saw chris. he was sitting down in a bench. because he was drunk as shit. LOL. and I walked over. and there was this other chik that was just there drinking too next to him. and i was like may you? and he was like Of course! and he signed it for me and I tried talking to him but not for long. he was out of this world. but he was really nice about taking a few pictures with me. we took like two. and I accidently made him get up. I didn't mean too lol. =/ and I said thanks and bye and see you next time. and he just gave me a guilty smile. So there's that.
theres so much more but I can't remember it all.
but I have a few videos of them playing. I'll see if I can put them up..
